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. 

 

Not a surprise was it?

 WOW RT, Prayers for your wife. You need to be strong for both of you.

You will get it done.

I have been sick since we got home? Maybe it was the Wendy's?? Sandra is outside with Jordan and I am on and off the crapper.  Ick!

rt - Best regards to you and the Mrs.  Wish I weren't 8 hours away.  Please call your local VFW, American Legion, or Boy Scout troop (someone may need an Eagle project) for assistance.

Hello there,

crashed last night without posting.

RT....prayers for Donna and you. Fife's idea is excellent. Bet a local Veterans group or church would help you out.
 

Best move on. More demo on the porch yesterday  revealed little more damage. Got to round up some odd size boards and start reconstruction.


Prayers for those in need

I guess it's been a few days so just checkin in. Temp is 49 way above average for a February day in Michigan. A train show last Sunday running the Modular layout sponsered by the Detroit Historical Socity. Next up for that layout will be at Greenfield Village in April when the live stean engine Thomas will be there.

I went back in about 8 last night and spent the night. Got about 2 hours sleep over the whole night. So you know where I'm heading. One of the nurses told me the MRI came back negative so that's good but now we need to figure out what has caused her semi-paralysis or what ever you want to call it. Still have not talked to the DR. Also need to find out what all is involved in this aggressive physical therapy, there talkin about. 

New update: 

Well wit the MRI showing nothing, I didn't want to jump the gun but I was betting on a neurologist to be the next step and guess what. Give the man a prize we have a winner. Still not good but it is something to see about. Now the thing is, whats going to be the next step, Is it a chiropractor? is it therapy still? who knows till she sees him/her. Still a wait and see game.

Good Afternoon from cloudy 55°F Southern Ohio,

 

It has not rained in a couple of days now which is good.  Our county has had major flooding of the Ohio river.  The flood gates were set in the floodwall for the first time since 1997 and the Ohio river was about 40’ higher than normal.

 

We’ve had no issues as our house sits at about 200’ above the normal river level.  A lot of the roads are closed with standing water.

 

I’ve been real busy at work, church and home so time spent on the pot has been scarce.

 

RT – Keeping you and your bride in my prayers

 

May God bless

 

Jim

RT, prayers.  Maybe a pinched or damaged nerve.  That is fixable.  

Rob, why don't you start the new Coffee Pot tonight.  Most of us have done that in the past.  You haven't.  Use to be my "job".  I get busy and can't make it until a day or so later.  Go for it.

Early out as have to go to the lesser university in Chapel Hill for town retreat.  Why?????  Interim Town Manager loves that place.  BULL!!!!

Later.

Thanks guys, Well we are still waiting for the neurologist to show up and tell us what he wants to do. Until then we are in limbo.

Evening all!

Well the weather guessers stay just that. Essentially rained most of the day and will not end until late tonight. Temps have stayed in 60's today. Nice but boy is everything soggy here.

RT - at least it sounds like Donna will not as bad as you feared after all this. Hopefully they can find what started this.

Joe D - sent the rest of the article scans to you a little while ago. Have fun!!

Regards, Roy

Hello,

 

A late post before heading to bed. It was a slower day at the office which allowed me to get home by 1700. After dinner, I assembled some track on the floor where I plan to build the layout.  I think I have the plan solidified but I do have one slight S curve I may have to resolve. Hopefully tomorrow, I will be able to test some trains on the track.

 

Roy - Thanks for all those photos. They came in handy with laying out the track tonight.

 

RT - I am happy you and Donna received some positive news.

 

Good night,

Joe
