Out early with Wifey to get some free azaleas for the park. Now goofing off.
Have a good one.

Good evening all,
Quiet at work. Some rain during walk. Couch potato tonight. Watched last Lord of the Ring movie and Blue Bloods. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Hello there,

Prayers for those in need

Home finally. Did get to hob knob with our First Lady at the Florence disaster event. TIRED.
Fifey, I agree on both points. Brent and Bob K.
V8Vega Yeah I don't know why my post yesterday about the rain chance was way down at the bottum.

Gloomy and 47 this morning. As for CTT well Bob was the one person that felt like family. Now articles that we expected to see in the mag are offered as seperate sale soft cover books. My scripts go way back to MR but will end in 2020.

If it were my magazine website, I'd want lionroar88 to fix it...
Of course, if it were my magazine website, BK would still be around.
Sorry boys, no launch date for 1309.

SStupid softeare will not letSuper tired. Walked over 8,000 steps with bucket of seeds and food plots seeds. All food plots sown. Goodnight.
Quiet day at work. Nice weather for walk and last high school game of the season as "my" soccer girls got pounded as expected 7-0. Actually only trailed 2-0 at halftime, but two goals in the first minute of the second took away any hope of a comeback. The ladies played hard, but lack of speed really did them in. They face a long uphill climb to being competitive again. I hope everyone has a good day.
Hello there, so far this week in between rains got 2 more of the small ash trees down and the brush burnt. Cleaned up where it will be stacked. 2 more larger trees to go and the big one. Fife.......good news on 1309. Do they have a target date for the maiden voyage??
Best try to sleep.
Evening all!
Warm as usual and 88 right now. Ready for some cooler fall temps!
Been very busy so tough to stay up to date.
Phish - prayers for your daughter
Fifer - that is very cool about the 1309 steaming up!!!!! Whoda thunk that could ever happen?
Regards, Roy
Good. Stay there. Don't worry me like that....
Right here

Mornin' boys. Cloudy/foggy and 65 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. The newlyweds return today. Wifey and I have been playing care-takers at their "estate" since Monday.
Tuesday, as the train was pulling into Ridgeley Yard, the crew at Diversified had 1309 fired up, for the first time in 60 years. The burning coal smelled great, and the sight of smoke flowing from the stack had everyone smiling. My best moment at the WMSR thus far. You can check out the images on the TRAINS news sight.
Where's rt?
Weather warm. Work quiet. Boys lost 3-2 in a close game. Considering pre-season expectations, a good season. I hope everyone has a good day.
Good Afternoon from hot 93°F Southern Ohio
I’m at work and currently in the monitoring mode in both buildings. In addition to overseeing the crews I’ve been asked to complete another qualification. This one is a Nuclear Facility Manager. A lot of regulatory type stuff. Lots of reading and digesting federal regs. Ever have trouble sleeping? Read this stuff.
I’ve not worked on the layout for a couple of weeks. The last days off were spent working the Honey Do list. Got quite a bit done so maybe can justify a few hours on it this weekend.
Update on the oldest girl from the neurologist not sure if her seizure was a seizure or “just an episode”?. More tests later this month. Wife’s heart doc says for now just keep an eye on things. Wife’s mom continues to downgrade, she will be 89 next week. Her siblings are in denial of her failing health and question every decision made for her care, but are too busy to help. Rant over; I feel better.
Jim - Great pieces you have gotten. The Mountaineer is a great set.
Kev - We’ve had the AC off for the past few days but I’d say it is cranking at home today.
Rich - Now may a good time to upgrade the wiring while to walls are open.
May God bless
Jim
Going to be HOT!!! 74 already heading to 90 today, Nuts. Glad I did not cover the AC unit yet like Brain down the lane did.LOL The leaves are starting to fall in earnest now. Did two loads yesterday, some leaves but mostly oak acorns,walnuts and hickory nuts and you can't tell I did anything this morning. Won't be long now and I will be doing leaves everyday.
This site just gets worse! Can't log on, then can't log off and un-safe!!!
Got my scrip renew in the mail last week, Guess I will hold it to see if they ever fix this site!
Marty and Banks,
The Monroeville show is November 10-11. I'll be there if work doesn't get in the way.
Phish,
I got the AF bug again. First, it started with finally getting a 372 Union Pacific GP-7, then it was a very clean set 5423T The Mountaineer (1954 version) from a local through Facebook, followed by a decent 1953 version (5323T) from ebay.
Evening all from Southern Ohio,
Where did September go??? Lots going on at home and at work. Nothing bad just all time consuming.
Quiet day for a Tuesday at work. Took it easy tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Evening gang!
Another day at 86. Puffy clouds so pretty pleasent out today. Son and I sat outside at lunch today! Nice low level breeze.Banks - great photos! Esp like your fathers retirement letter. I have my grandfathers retirement letter signed by one of the Schlumberger brothers, two letters giving him permission to be on leave from Ellington Field in 1919 (he was a lubrication 'engineer' in the aircraft 'engine' section of the Army 'Air Service', and his Ellington Field 1918 yearbook which has pictures of all the soldiers/squadrons, Ellington operations, layout, etc., even wrecked planes (one in a tree).
Marty - I hate missing your Legacy sessions due to other commitements!
I dunnu Chief - you always appear to explain there is a sign for Rosyville and yet no one ever sees it
Kev - glad the damage wasn't any worse!
Afternoon All!
Another rainy ,drizzly Fall day here. Like Marty, I've been busy doing nothing!
Rich - Hope the folks house situation works out.
Ray - My sympathies to you.
Kev- I hear ya. I had an MTH order due in the end of September. Now, it looks to be the end of March!! I was hoping to have it before Christmas.....
Banks - Nice pics! I like that PRR certificate.
I guess that's it for now. Thoughts and prayers.
Rob
Good Afternoon!!
SP-Ray - Condolences on your brother, very sad. Prayers to you and your family.
Fife - Glad you had a great time and congas!!
So, Mom and Dad's place in Oriental, so far will need a new roof, sheetrock and insulation replacement and replacement of the cabinetry in the garage, possible floor replacement in the kitchen and laundry room. The insulation and vapor barrier under the house (It sits up about 2.5 feet with a crawl space). Mom measured 22" of water in the garage. Dad is down there now, working with the adjuster(s), so we will see. I had hoped the house would have been damaged beyond repair, as they have been trying to sell this for about a year. At least it will have all new shingles and insulation. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.
Weather here has been great, turning cloudy now, about 80 with a light wind. Rain and storms tonight and then upper 70's with sun rest of the week.
45th Class reunion on tap this weekend, should be fun. I'll be going solo, so I'll be able to enjoy myself. Friday night is homecoming and a tour of the high school (which I've done many times looking for heat and smoke detectors going off....) maybe a trip to the tavern afterwards, then Saturday for dinner. I love to see who has gotten older....lol!!!
Train sorting continues, still finding things I had forgotten about, which is cool, several buildings that light up, many more box, gon, flats and caboose (cabeese?) and quite a few still boxed. I am unboxing several of my 1/43 and 1/48 collectable cars and using them on the future layout, since they are mostly valuble to me and not so collectible.
Back when possible, work is slowing down a bit this week!

Morning,
Cool and they said we would get 2" of rain last night and we got none! How wrong is that??? LOL
Heading to Krogers for food then kicking back.
Got notice that the BNSF TIER 4 set that was to ship 10-10-18 when I ordered it for a 11-8-18 birthday gift ,,,NOW won't ship till sometime in December!!!
Madyson's handy work before I pulled it back.
Morning. Warmer and more humid. Fall??????
Haircut and Town Board day.
Fifey, I 87 or I 587. Big sign. Funny, Rolesville is not close to the sign. 10 miles away. I 540, only small sign. Now DOT replacing with big sign due to the growth.
Great deer photos.
Banks - I doubt it, but thanks for the heads-up just the same. My train show availability is Jan-April. I did like the Blair County show last spring.
Chief - Thanks for setting me straight. I kept looking for Rolesville, while I was chugging along 17-403-40-95, but didn't see the name. Didn't see the famous train box floating along, either.
fifedog Banks - they are the same.
Banks - they are the same.
