Hey all

Been busy doing much of nothing.  LOL.  Nothing new here in SW PA.  Weather is going to be stormy today.  Working on the Legacy presentation for York.  Looks to me that this venture could be coming to an end soon.  Without a lot of folks up to speed so to speak and less from Lionel we might have run our course.

 

Anyways hope everyone has a safe day.

Good evening all,

Boys won 6-5 in an up and down game.  Never trailed, but could not hold onto a 3 goal lead.  Weather was good.  Work was quiet today.  Good weather for walk.  Going to bed.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Appears that I'm on page 1. Wow! 

Got to our other place last Friday afternoon.  Spending time getting my head around all of the 'post empoyment' projects we want to get into around here.  Looks like we will be starting with the exhibits we are working on for the KATY depot museum.  Next up will be a kid's day layout at the museum, then shortly after that, a couple of layouts at the small  local train show we have here every November.  When that is done, it will be on to the Polar Express themed day at the museum in early December.  

I'm planning to add a track for the Polar Express trolly from the station on the layout so it dissapears into 'Santa's workshop' under the mountain.  I think I'll try to come up with spme way to give the trolly irregular timing  by using an insulated sectrion of track on the mainline to start the cycle either into the mountain or out from under the mountain.

We went out to the local Menards tonight.  Most of their train stuff display was on the shelf.  The UFO Abduction dioarama was in stock, so we got one.  Will use it in for the October kid's day layout.

A steam engine cab mock up has been donated to the museum, so we are adjusting plans to fit it in.  This will require cutting down the 4x8 Thomas the Train layout to 3x6 to make everything fit.  I'll change from 36" Fastrack to 027 tubular for the layout to fit the smaller table.

I need to assemble the blood sugar readings I've been taking for the past month and get them to my doctor this week.  I suspect that there will be a piper to pay in this deal.

About all for now.

Hello there,

apparently you can't direct link to Google Photos. Frustrating because I could see them. So back to Shutterfly. I'm reposting all the ones I did on Google

This was a pita. Gonna get a shower and wine before I do the other pot.

Fife... Congas on the wedding.  Also I'm having a brain cramp. Are Jamie and the Middle Princess one in the same?

Prayers for those in need

Happy Oct 1 all!

Warm here. Still 86 out this evening. Mid-to high 80's continue through the weekend.

Still recovering from the state fair trip yesterday - burp!

Fifer - glad the wedding went well and your area basically survived Flo!

Banks - sorry - still no pics?

Broiled tilapia for dinner!

Regards, Roy

Morning.  Sunny and warm.  County Commissioners this evening.

Banks, nope.  No pictures.

Fifey, you were way south.  I don't call that the Outer Banks.  But that is OK.  Glad you enjoyed. 

Have a good one.

Rainy, chilly 57 this morning.

Banks I don't care for your choice of breakfast so I'll just have coffee and a donut. Chief can grind his teeth away on some grits.

Good morning all,

Posting now because it will be a late night tonight as boys' sectional game starts at 7 PM and I will be getting home when the hoot owls are hooting (to use an old Hoosier phrase).   Watched soccer girls lose 5-0 Saturday and mowed the yard.  Sunday watched the grandkids in a home school play.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Mornin' boys.  Got back from NC around 2100 hrs last night.  It was a lovely wedding, although a soggy one (oh well).  Jamie was prettier than a cake topper.  Food was great.  We all had fun dancing and singing, and the last song was "Country Roads", to which everyone sang out strong.  Brian (my new son-in-law) is such a good man, and his parents adore Jamie.  We couldn't ask for a nicer family to share good times with.

Ocean Isle Beach, which is NE of Myrtle, faired pretty well from Flo.  It only flooded in some low spots, most trees had foliage, 1 in 5 homes lost a shingle or strip of siding.  However, we didn't dare go in the ocean, as we were at the south exit of the Intercoastal waterway, and it was brown as 3 day old coffee.  It didn't stop the other SIL from fishing for shark.  He had me out there til midnight (no need for a bigger boat...).  Wilmington got slammed hard, and the waterways leading to Cape Fear were still inundated.  Trees were stripped, and signs were twisted.  Power company trucks were still caravaning around. 

SPMan - Sorry for your loss.

88 - Git'er done.

The photos show up for me signed in or not.

Could someone let me know if the photo in my September 25th post shows up
