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.
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.....

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!

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

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
Turned cool. Camos on and headed east until tomorrow night.
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.
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
Mornin' boys. Rain and 49 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Wifey returns from Steeltown today. Had dinner at my folks' place, and started painting their sun room.
Record crowds again this weekend at the RR. Stark difference to the nothing burgers of Spring and Summer. Wound up cleaning up vomit on one of the coaches, after nobody else would step up. This bunch...
Hope the Yorkies make it home safe and happy. Miss yuz guyz.
Been raining. Spike is now coming to stand and feeder constantly. Becoming my pet. Lots of does. No biggies yet. Too many peanuts on the ground. Not interested in corn much.
Have a good week ahead.
back from York in time for 430 Mass yesterday
A good day Friday. Mrs and I had breakfast with Mr & Mrs John Fullerton.
Then off to the show. John and I walked Orange Hall before he had to leave for an organ recital his Mrs was participatng in. He was pretty well wupped anyway.
Later found Laz and Mitch.
Since we were the only ones Mrs took the picure. We chewed the fat for a few and went on our way. I doubled back through Orange to take a 2nd look at a couple of things then went to silver hall and tried and buy a Gilbert caboose at a reasonable price. I know the guy has brought three of them to York for at least three years but won't budge on price. By then I was ready to leave. Mrs & I Ate at McD's then to the camper and crashed for a while. Later met a former coworker and family at ROC for dinner. The place was packed. Her daughter lives in York and the rest of the family was in town for her son to visit a potential college.
The return trip yesterday was uneventful. Watching the littlest grandaughters today and trying to get a few things done before Tuesday's Prostate roto rooter puts me out of commission for a while.
My haul from York
Best move on,
PS...........Fife the Altoona show is Nov 3rd. You gona be able to make it???????
Banks - Received my mailer. November, no. March, YES.
Morning. Busy afternoon and evening.
Roy got damage from tornado. Not completly but any is enough. Hope all OK now.
No grits on the table.
Have a good one.
Couldn't get in a while ago
ChiefEaglesNo grits on the table. Sad
Grits were already eaten before the photo. Praying for Roy and all in his neighborhood
Afternoon Greetings from Tornado Alley - literally!
In daylight, neighborhood looks like a war zone. Police and State police have blocked all entrances to our neighborhood. Have to show ID to enter.
Front window (large) of our house was pierced by a large 4" tree limb that apparently came flying down the street from a tree at a neighbors house several doors away. Big mess and a lotta glass all over the room along with dirt, leaves, water, etc. my trees - nada - no damage.
Thought we were experiencing a baseball sized hail storm from the pounding on the roof and breaking glass (Had this happen in 2004 And it sounded exactly the same). Went out after the storm and saw no hail stones, no damage to sons car in front, but lotta big tree limbs piled up against the front of our house (and the one through the window). Dirt and leaves embedded in everything.
A street and a half over, one house (good friend of ours) was flattened. 6 or so or others have little to no roof. Neighbors with skylights on our block all lost their skylights in round one. Round two was 50-70 mph winds and 3" of screaming rain. So round 2 nailed them with the big roof openings.
Our friend survived the storm in her demolished house unscathed. But she is shell shocked. Just lost her husband 5 yrs ago and his slow demise was draining.
There are no tall trees left. Tops Shredded.
Roofer we know came to inspect a house down the block. Got him to stop here. No peeled shingles but a lot of aggregate loss from the hail, winds, and driving rain. Roof will need replacing. Pool full of leaves, limbs, and shingles. Kids worked on cleaning it out until the leaf bag broke from the weight.
Future In-laws showed up at 7:30 am to help clean up. Nice of them.
DJ - that is great news re Linda! Bet you guz are relieved! I can attest that heavy antibiotics wear you down and really mess with your lower digestive system.
Mornin' boys. Overcast and 57 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Conductor duties today. This is youngest princess's first birthday away from home. Wifey struggling with this...
Roy - Glad you and yours are ok. Are we ready for 2019 to pass yet...?
DJ - Good news on the Mrs.
Morning. Rain due but not the Texas thing.
Roy, glad you are OK. Cleanup is a mess.
Long day. Got the front room where the window blew in cleaned up of leaves, glass (4'x4' double pane), dirt, etc. Got the yard cleanup completed. Pool is next. Huge debris pile in front of the house as with much of the neighborhood. Most of the debris is from all the big oak trees that were shredded. Most houses here had 3 big oaks 40+ years old, 18'-36" trunks. For some reason city has not started picking up the tree debris and it is now outta hand. Once folks start throwing home debris it is gonna get really bad.
Hello there from UPMC Bedford Memorial Hospital.
Roy.....good luck with the cleanup
Doc said rotor rooter went well. The issues were caused by scarring from December's rotorooter. Claims there should be no more problems.
Daghters surgery went well yesterday too and she went home. Found out the day we left for the beach that she was having her ovaries removed today also.
She asked to postpone but they refused. She says no but Mrs and I fear cancer is involved. Especially since they were in such a rush.
Been killing time trying to find something decent on TV, cruising Ebay and Youtube looking for anything interesting.
Hoping to get home today without a catheter. Gotta go Prayers for those in need.
BANKS.....Glad you have done so well with your procedure. Thoughts and prayers for you. While you are on Ebay, would you please find a suitable gift for the Chief. Something expensive. I'll send it to him at Christmas. Preferably live with four legs and sharp teeth.
Roy.... Saw the photos from Dallas tornado. You guys had a big one.
I'm still on the mend. Still can't drive due to me passing out so suddenly and unexpected. Mrs. Buckeye says it is like driving Mr. Daisy. I really don't see the humor.
Sun and 50s today.
Got most of the outside stuff ready for winter. sigh. All the garden vegtables have been et so it's back to store bought.

Moening,
Good news Banks!
Roy the two weeks after we lost our house in the 1990 Plainfield tornado were the most stressed of my life. It will pass.
Getting ready to take wifey in for her hip injection. Hope it helps her some till it can be replaced. The good news yesterday is her biopsy results came back clean!
Got to get moving.
Great news about Sandra Kev!
No big issues here. We were lucky. Minimal damage here and my 15 yr old 40 yr roof may have to be replaced. About 20' of back fence steel poles are bent about 20 degrees. May try and use the sons Jeep to pull them up straight.
Amazing the number of fences down, steel poles snapped off at ground level.
Our pool guy was able to come and that is almost done. We are pulling bushels of acorns out of the pool and yard. Neighbor ins agent said the billions of acorns are responsible for the hail like roof shingle damage. Neighbors have said all are surprised at the bushels of acorns they are picking up.
Afternoon. Haircut done. Busy afternoon.
Prayers for Roy and his neighbors.
Hello there,Prayers for Rich's dadhome from the hospital without a catheter. The discomfort is much less than the first time.Forgot to mention earlier, daughter and I were about 40 miles apart for our procedures.Not much sleep last night. Time to reclinerize.Prayers for those in need
