Good Evening from an overcast 54°F Southern Ohio,
I started putting the sealer on the garage and will get to the house next week. I’m taking a few days off and hope to get most of the house sealed. The house has cedar siding and it is all washed down and the change is remarkable.
A local pool contractor is bringing the leftover dirt from the pool installations in town and helping me build up part of the ravine. He has brought around 20 tons up.
So all this has kept me pretty busy.
My bride went to her neck surgeon and he has given her a clean slate and does not need to see her again. Praise God.
Roy – I hope your hand is doing better.
Buckeye – your layout is going to be really impressive.
Don – How are you going to prove you’re alive?
Banks and other Yorkies – have a great time and be safe.
Good night and may God bless you and your families
Jim
Morning folks!
Sunny and will hit 80's today.
I have followup orthopedist visit 9 am Mon. I have a week or so of recovery on the right hand. Somewhat painful but managing with OTC pain meds. The procedure on the knuckle was pretty brutal and I think it injured the tendon.
Regards, Roy
Turned cool. Camos on and headed east until tomorrow night.

Evening Guys,
Glad to hear Roy has been released!
Hope all the Yorkies have decent weather, and finds everything they are looking for.
Kay got some interesting mail today, she got a letter from AARP, expressing their condolences over the loss of her spouse! Kay called and ultimately got to the correct person whom stated they received a notice of loss on Sept 30. And that I had been removed from the account. So apparently I am deceased, and missed my own funeral!
That's about all I know for the day
Don
Hello there,
glad to see Roy is free.
Yesterday Mrs and I traveled to Lancaster. Visited a couple of outlets, a thrift shop and dined at Miller's smorgasbord before returning to York. Slept late this AM, ate an early lunch then headed to the show. Took my time and walked silver, blue, red and white halls.
Picked up 3 mint in box red box era Tyco cars, a Gilbert loco with matching caboose and a prewar 653 hopper. All for $50. The Tyco guy was priced to sell, Gilbert guy didn't know what he had and the 653 was well loved. Back to the camper Mrs had supper ready, crashed for a while, before a shower.
Meeting John F at Cracker Barrel in the morning, walk orange and purple halls before a photo op at the CTT booth. By then I'll probably be ready to go to the camper and make ready for the trip home Saturday.
Tentatively meeting a former coworker at ROC Dinner tomorrow evening for dessert.
Best try to sleep.
Prayers for those in need

Meetings. On the run. Truned real cool. Enjoy.
Good morning,
Today is take wifey to the spine DR in the AM @ Morris then OBGYN in the afternoon in Ottawa. And got to get food and supplies in there some place. I got to get something to read while I am waiting.
Weather here is mid 40s, cold for this time of year but the rain has held back and some of the crap crops are getting removed from the fields. My system hates bean dust.
Good to hear from DougM.
Prayers for Byckeye and poor old Roy! What a bad break!

Happy Friday Eve as my boss puts it...lolTook the Princess to work in Philly yesterday and got home at 745 last night from 0500 yesterday morning. In the midst of the "storm". Doing this at night with rain absolutely sucks. The rain makes driving just stupid and the highways are filled with dumb masses.....I'm just glad I took her instread of her doing this solo....Had dinner, spoke with the folks and ran to bed. Windy today and 60...if that. Weekend supposedly already booked, I know we have to see Jenni's Dad on Sunday for his birthday. Saturday we need to see a guy about her trunk lid. Live burn with the FD is scheduled for Saturday morning, I may not be able to go. I have a lot to get done before Halloween, including doing Mom and Dad's house.Prayers for all in need, Dad is still status quo, CAT Scan today, Iron and Chemo infusion yesterday. Found out some interesting information on his Chills/Hot spells.....Just got my system back up, let's see what happens today.....

Mornin' boys. Cool, damp, and blustery in the Potomac Highlands. Still busy on the train, and crazy busy on the weekends. Folks complaining about the parking, but many simply fail to utilize the free parking garage, blocks away. Something the city and Canal Place folks need to hammer out in the eventuality the steam engine comes on line.
Yesterday was my day off, and travelled to Sheperdstown to pick up youngest princess. Had nice veggie lasagna at a local restaurant. Girls will be headed to Pittsburgh for a bridal shower.
Continued well wishes for our sick and infirmed.
cnw1995 - Thanks for checking in; was beginning to wonder "Why don't he write?" Still haven't been able to sell the yatchett yet.
Evening All,Roy Update -- Got a text message as follows: "They worked on my knuckle in the room today. Ugly. Physically draining. He could not quite get all of the goop out. Having to soak it more and try to keep the wound open and draining. Mainlining antibiotics."Talked with Roy briefly last night, he seemed in relatively good spirits, a little frustration was quite evident. He also commented that he had a very nice private room, and the food was pretty good. Also all his nurses are RN's, so he's not doing to bad, but I''m sure he doesn't want to be there.Finished the Awnings today (MIL), going to install them tomorrow, after my Dr visit at the VA. Just found out all vets can now get a 10% discount from AMTRAK. BUCKEYE, GREAT PROGRESS ON THE LAYOUT, NOW YOU HAVE TIME FOR A GOOD DESIGN REVIEW FOR THE LAYOUT PLAN, AND BUILD PLANS! Great to hear the new ticker is working well. It doesn't use 9 Ghz, does it?
Pacemaker seems to be working. Heartrate is a minimum of 60. See doctors on Monday.
Roy...Hope you are doing well?
DJ...My grandson from NJ attended OSU-Rutgers Basketball game two years ago. He wore his Scarlett and Gray National Championship sweatshirt to the game. Glad the tap went well. I hate those things.
I had just completed the second table for the layout before heading to the hospital. All work suspended for 2-3 weeks.
Good Morning from overcast 50°F Southern Ohio,
The temps are to drop all day into the low 40’s. Been absent from the pot for a week or so due to too much stuff between work at work and work at home. Today is my annual Hazmat refresher training so I’m not in charge and can actually relax a little. I’ll be in Level A response suit and on SCBA the rest of the day for evaluation.
Prayers for Buckeye and Roy.
Got to go
May God bless you and your families
Morning. Being lazy again today. Raining. Prayers for Roy.
Have a good one.
Aloha all. Cold and dark this morning. Nothing too new in my world except work busyness and my 11th parents' night at the local high school. Ivor gets his legs stretched occasionally as does his Hornby clockwork companions. I continue to mess around with the layout - mostly shrinking it a bit closer to the edge from its largest size (that was 24 by 19 ft.) Prayers for Roy's recovery and Linda's tap to go smoothly and painless.

Evening All, Roy Update -- Got a text message as follows: "They are giving me 5 IV antibiotic bags a day. It has not improved today. Guess tomorrow will tell. The surgeon is supposed to come by according to his PA. I have no assurance of that so hope it is true. They are really hoping the antibiotics knock this out but we think it has abscessed."I haven't talked with him, but I know its got to be tough stuck in the hospital, especially with his daughters wedding coming up, and all the preps that need to be done. Hopefully tomorrow will have more definite plans and strategy on his treatment. Continued Prayers.Well York is really getting close! Hope everyone has double checked the shopping list, and visited the bank, and got fresh cushions for the shoes. Oh yeah may need to check the weather forecast. IF it wasn't so far away I would try going, just to see those who do. Can't think of a thing I would buy, just don't have space anymore.Had a great day today, was in the garage and a tree trimming truck pulled up to the neighbors house! They are going to get some trees finally trimmed!! You wouldn't believe how overgrown they are, I've been cutting branches off my roof. This past weekend all the dried leaves and twigs clogged up our pool. And we have had many more issues, finally after repeated discussions with them, and even a little more abrasive this past week they are finally doing something! HurrayTake care all, and be safe!
a prayer for Roy's hand.
Traveled from da beach to York today.
Tomorrow a trip to Lancaster and the outlets.
Maybe one of the preshows advertised in the TCA headquarter news on the way back.
May check out the D3R video before crashing.
Afternoon. Resting up today after an early one out yesterday. Town Board tonight. Errands this afternoon.
Sun and 35 this morning. First frost although quite lite.
Our club meet was well attended with a full basement of train nuts.

WOW Roy! get better ASAP!!!
Well I can tell ya, twice the grand-kids= twice the work!!!
The boy's son almost launched my LionChief+ off the table. Seems he put it on wide open then shut off the remote and all it could do is head for the edge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grabed it just before it launched... Boys and the need for speed! All of them are now driving the old Gator, so tell them to go slow, and as soon as they can't see you they punch it. Guess they don't think can hear the engine,
I am wooped!
Afternoon All,
I did hear from Roy, the Orthopedic Dr, worked on the knuckle doing a "simple" clean and drain, apparently that did not do great. So they are waiting a day and may require another Dr., to operate on it for joint repair. That decision will be made on Wed.. Meanwhile he will be staying in the Hosp, so far he has had 4 bags of antibiotics via IV so far. Hopefully, the antibiotics may have a significant improvement in the next 24 hrs..Watched the finish of the rain delayed Nascar race (Talledaga), today. Wow WHAT an exciting race!!! It was unique in so far as the Manufacturers getting involved with their specific drivers, coercing them to "work" together. And that had a lot of influence IMO of how the race played out!Prayers for all those having health issues!!
We no more get Buckeye taken care of and home and we get roy thrown into the hospital, What's going on here.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

Ok. Adding Roy to the List...
Now the rest of you, stay healthy, dangit.
Evening All,I just received a text message from Roy, He is currently in the hospital! As most of you may recall he had an incident when he was macheing a part on a lathe this past week. He jammed his knuckle on the cutting tool. He ended up going to ER today, and they determined he had a infection going on. As a result he is on an IV for antibiotics, and they are keeping him overnight. He is scheduled to see an Orthopedic Surgeon tomorrow. (Mon). He indicated in his message, that he was not reachable via phone or may not be able to post for a couple of days. (If I hear any more from him, I will definitely pass it on.)Locally, we are escaping any issues regarding the fires, the active ones in So. Cal., are about 60 miles from us, North and East. We did have a small earthquake thrown in for fun yesterday, it was a small one only 2.5, and it was a sharp jolt, not a rolling one. Did have a big mess from the Santa Ana winds and all the fallout from neighbors trees. Ended up clogging the pool filter system, and water supply lines. Got that all cleaned up and cleared out today.About all from here.
Church this AM. Raining finally.
Does and one young 4 pointer was it for yesterday. Hot 84 degrees. Somky yesterday morning due to control burn near farms.
Resting rest of the day.
Great news Buckeye!!!
Nice fall weather here on The North Bluff above Marseilles and starting to dry out. Grand-kids are coming over this evening to spend the night and hang out here tomorrow rather than spend the day in day care. We will have some fall fun things to do.
Should also run some trains.
Best get!
