Banks - prayers for the family on the loss of your SIL
Rain finally stopped for a few days and we had a pleasant afternoon, 60*
Was able to work on a project in the garage.
Regards, Roy
Good evening all,
Rained all day. Did nothing. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Morning All!
It's been another lazy weekend so far.I agree with you, MikeC. This rain isn't helping any to get motivated. I was going to check out the Great Train Show today, but I think I'm going to spend my "allowance" on a set I found online instead.
Lots of flood warnings around here, but we are okay. The sump pump is definitely working overtime. I'm glad I changed it out earlier this year.
Banks - Condolences on your loss.
RT - Yes, Kev's picture is just begging for a Ford joke!!
Spank - I was wondering how things were going with your favorite "client".....
Have a good one prayers.
Rob
Mornin' boys. Rain and 43 in the Potomac Highlands; creeks and rivers are pretty swollen. Only thing on tap today is seeing a house middle princess wishes to buy.
We put on an all-day photo freight for some railfans yesterday. Unfortunately the weather was none to kind, yet they made the most of it. Wound up setting up at 25 locations along our 16 mile route. I had more pictures taken of me than my 2 weddings combined. On top of that, we had a bunch of high school aged kids all dressed up for some kind of fancy winter dance show up at the station to take pics. We obliged them as best as we could, and Fifey snuck in a few "conductor bomb" pics with the pretty girls...
88- Which day will you be on the train?
Clouds, sun and very windy this morning. Hi of 50. A very strange February this year.
I help run the modular layout at the so called Great Train Show yesterday. What a bust. Rob you missed nothing and saved money to boot.The layout will be set up at Port Huron but I will not be there. At least it's not on my menu.

Buckeye Riveter Roy, Chuck loved his NASCAR and was always wanting the Chevy to win.
Think of him a lot. Was here for a long time with us.
Rain spitting off and on. 73 degrees out.
Sunday School, restaurant and Walmart [Wifey wanted to go]. Went to the one in Wake Forest. As usual in that one, didn't find half what she went for.
Have a great week ahead.

Good afternoon,
We had some wild weather overnight. I have yet to go out and look around but I bet there is some trees down.
Looks like most of it is now out to the east now.
Sunny and 38 right now.
I see they pushed up the NASCAR race because of the weather moving that way.
I used to give plant tours at Aurora and but never drove a 994 because they were never final assembled in house. They were built then sent out to the field in modules and assembled at the job site. I did drive many 992s. it was like driving a house around. I would let the VIP customers try it and it was always a hit. A pickup would also fit in the bucket of a 992, just tighter than the 994. No steering wheel. A joystick on the left would steer and shift gears. One on the right controled the lift arms and bucket and you had two brake pedals and an accelerator pedal for your feet.

Kev, From The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL.
Busy month ahead with stops at:
I'm done on March 30th. I'm worried about the Chief after I retire. Without me out there busting my butt and paying his SS, he most likely will need to relocate to the county poor house.
It is nice to see people out walking today. No rain, but southern Ohio is flooding.
Family event today in Indy. Did get home in time to do 8 miles in 2:09:21 for a 3.71 MPH average. Maintained good pace and felt good after 8 miles. Hope to feel that way after 13.1 soon. I hope everyone has a good day.
Good evening,
It was another rainy day here today. I unpacked a few more boxes and then hung some display shelves in the train room. I wanted to get those up before I do any layout construction. I still do not have a final track plan designed. I will lay out the track on the floor first to see how my preliminary ideas work. It is time for bed now and I need to get to work early tomorrow.
Good night,
Joe
Evening gang,
65 today. No rain! Sun popped out twice for a few minutes. It was pretty nice after the weather we've had this winter.
Spent some quality time in the garage on the Atlas 10D metal lathe.
Buckeye - March 30 approaches. Shock time!
Pretty good tace today. I was glad to see Harvick win. Last time he won at Atlanta was 17 yrs ago - wow - time flies.
Mike C - you working towards a marathon or you just trying to hit some personal goals - nice job on the run regardless.
DJ - ouch - been there many times - - - -
Mornin' boys. Cloudy and 44 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Carpet doodles coming today (we hope...). Need to get wifey's storage racks put together. They are heavy and big.
Middle princess and the SIL-to-be placed a bid on a house, kinda similar to ours, less than a mile away. Only found some downspout issues that the seller is willing to correct, but they should be good to go. They took us out to dinner for yeungs & wings after.
Good morning. 58 degrees and rainy. Busy day. Farms tomorrow as suppose to be sunny and warm. Finish the job we started last week as Fred forgot the portable saw.
Have a good one.
Sunny and will get to mid-50s today. Will be good to dry things out. Tomorrow they are saying 60. I will have the 4-year-old and he wants to ride his motorcycle so that should work.
The Fords were king of the pack yesterday and it was good to see Kevin get the win two days in a row. All in all, it was a good race I think. I have been to the track in Atlanta. I worked at Griffin many weeks for Cat doing logistic stuff for their plant that is there. The track was 12 miles from where I was so I went to check it out and ended up with just a T shirt.
Fife, did you get things straight with the INC co???
Evening All!,
Enjoying the weather finally! Sump pump is still chugging away though.
Sir James - I feel better about not going to the show now. I'll definitely check out the layout at the Port Huron show. I think it's in May.
Spank - I hear ya! Except I'm the "good cop" and the Mrs. is the "bad cop"! I know I need to drop the hammer more..... Get that Camaro out! I'm getting itchy too.
Mike C. - Nice time! I have to get back out running again. I was "gun shy" after my MCL injury in 2016. Didn't do any running last year and it shows. I need to get that mid section ready for beer 'n patio season!!
Joe - Glad to hear the unpacking is coming along. I think all of the moving would be the worst part about being in the Service! Do you have RR-Track? I found it helpful for me when I designed any of my layouts.
Roy - What are you making with the lathe?
Fife - Daughter less then a mile away? I sense the babysitting duties will be increasing!
Training for Mini in May. Wanted to do 13 again, but ran out of time. Sunny today. Work quiet again. Izombie on tonight!!!! On the road again Thursday with daughter to St. Louis. Day trip only, but will take Friday off as well. I hope everyone has a good day.
A busy day at work. The wife returns around 12:30 AM which is great. I will need to leave for the airport soon.
Rob - This was our 10th move in 23 years and it is getting old. I use SCARM; it is free and somewhat user friendly after you become familiar with it. My issue is I am not that creative.
I am trying to find my February 2010 issue of CTT, but have not unboxed it yet. I want to see the layout diagram of Paul Helgeson's layout as I think it is quite cool from the photos I could find.
Hello there,
Attended SIL's funeral and family luncheon.Thanks for the condolences
Weather was nice. A lot of the water dried up. We've officially had the wettest February on record.
Nite all.
Prayers for those in need

Evening all!
Long day today and the weather was nice for a change. 60's. Rain and possible storms starting tomorrow and ending Wed.
JoeD - I found my Feb 2010 CTT with the article you are seeking. PM me with your email address and I will send you a scan. The layout is 5 x 18'.
Banks - continued prayers for the family.
Mornin' boys. Sunny & 31 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Quick roll-by before heading to HQ. Meeting with a Smithsonian rep today.
Carpet guys were here for 3 hours. Burber lookin' good, and Wifey very happy.
robmcc - Grandbabies are what we love best!
KRM - Allstate is doing well by us now.
Banksie - .
Good morning,
Going to be in the 60s today
Dentist APT at 10:30 then I will pick up Jordan and we will have him till Wednesdays night.
So there will be motorcycle riding today. Closed a deal on a Yamaha 110cc from the neighbor. I will give that to the soon to be 8 year old and take his 70cc for the soon to be 5 year old. Then when the 8 year old is ready to move up to a taller 125cc, or 250cc I will give my son back the 70cc so he can sell that and he will give the 110cc back to me for the younger grandson. Everyone wins!
Best be going!
Morning! Raining! 60!
Kev - round-a-bout......are you also gonna get the sphere of death for them to ride in? I hear Ringling Bros might have a sale on one!
Joe - sent you a PM in response - I can get back to this late today.
Sunny today going up to 60F, so we shall see.
Need to finish off those pesky torque nuts on the road runner so I can drive it. Also need to check the bike out, it's getting close to topless and 2 wheel riding season. All this rain is washing the streets off, which is a good thing, so I'm not too upset with all the rain we've been having. The bigger plus is that when it's gray outside, I can sleep in on the weekends.
Not much else, just killing time, was busy yesterday but today not as much, 5 of my required 8 scans completed, did 13 yesterday.....
Need to pick up my Penn-Reading Seashore cars from Holly Beach in Wildwood, possibly pick them up at the WGH show in Edison in 2 weeks.
That's all that's fit to print today...

Good afternoon all, we had a hard rain shower last night, not long but intense. We sure can use the water on the lawn. Rain is a big deal here. I thought I was getting over my virus but I am coughing my head off today (again). All I have for it is an inhaler med from the doctor. It helps a little. Cooked a porterhouse steak last night that I got on sale. It was good. Tonight will probably be hot dogs and sourkraut or beans. More rain in the forcast for Friday and maybe Saturday.

Afternoon all. Let me share some bad news.
Let me explain to you all what all happened. Saturday night she went to bed ( Wife) early with a headache/neck ache on the right lower side, Sometime during the night she woke up light headed but didn't tell me. Sunday morning she knew she had lost use of her left leg and arm ( about 70 - 80% ) again wouldn't tell me but told me she was light headed and needed my help to get her to the bathroom. Then to the couch and back and forth a couple of times. Monday morning she woke me up calling for me to get her to the bathroom again, but this time because of her slippery shirt ( silk like ) I lost my grasp and she went down and I almost went down ( this is because her left side gave her no support and I didn't know. All I know she would like twist me as we went. That was when I called 911. Haven't gotten a confirmed diagnoses but it's pretty sure she had a mild stroke but now her back is worse than it was.
It doesn't look good for Donna as she may have hurt her back even more when she fell. It kills her for them to try and get her to just stand up. I think she is going to end up in a wheelchair which really messes things up for me. as I can't go to like lowes or walmart without her because of my PTSD and this will make it real hard to get her in or out of the truck. If not impossible. I'm not sure who has to pay for a ramp for her to get up and down for the house but I can see I will need one before she comes home. If I have to I'll get the wood somehow and build it myself as I have the tools and the knowledge. I may have to try with a neighbor I do okay with. By myself I'm okay with 2 or 3 others but beyond that it starts causing problems for me. I had a couple of problems today in the elevator at the hospital as there where like 4 others in it and it was a tiny elevator.
Wow, RT. My prayers with your wife (and you).
Found out as far as the ramp goes I need to stand in front of a mirra and I will see who has to pay for it.
