Buenos días desde el Valle y Feliz Cinco Mayo.
Hace frío en el valle y el meteorólogo dice que va a nevar. Al sur de Colón tenían aguanieve.
Esta mañana reuní los tablones de jardín elevado de la Sra. Buckeye. Quizás podamos robarle algunos tomates al Chief. Él como millones.
¡Tenga un buen día! ¡Cuidate!

Good morning from the Valley and Happy Cinco Mayo.It's cold in the valley and the meteorologist says it's going to snow. South of Columbus they had sleet.This morning I gathered Mrs Buckeye's raised garden planks. Maybe we can steal some tomatoes from the Chief. He eats millions.Have a nice day! Take care!
Spank, It is far from over no matter how bad we want it to be.

Ja, genau! Ich bin ein auslander, nicht verstehen!
Something told me to get my yard work all squared away today. Everything cut, trimmed, and edged. Clippings were blown off the driveway, porches, and walkways. Patio rug and bench set in place.
Then nice HR lady called. Report to railyard 0600 hrs tomorrow. Lots of work to perform, in prep for the season. Won't be posting as much for the time being, but will try to keep an eye on the forums.
y'all keep Buckeye and Chief straight.
fifedog !Saludos Amigos! Mostly cloudy and 44 in the Alleghany front range. Waiting for boss to call... Did power wash the front and side of fifedom yesterday, in what was a gorgeous afternoon. Celebrated with tavern burgers on the grill, and cold Coors Light. 88 - I had my swimsuit on; with this sprayer you will get soaked, especially the sneakers. BTW, she didn't wear her bikini. I picture sitting on your back porch, watching a garden railroad, with the Catoctin range in the background...

Good morning all,
Quiet day at work yesterday. Not as much traffic today. Weather cold but sunny. Got some rest last night. I hope to do some yard work this evening. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Sun and 50's today.
Too early and cool to plant the garden but it's nice to see the lawn services finally allowed to work. So nothing going on here, just thought I'd check in.

Oh thank goodness, the re-fries are gone and the Rolaids took their place!
Which reminds me, why doesn't anyone tell us that when you hit a certain age Rolaids and Tums become part of the food groups? You know, like meat, dairy, green vegetables, and grains?
Lazy good morning. Rain? What rain. Guessers blew it. Level one for storms. Never came. Screwed up my afternoon. Even a producer friend with biggie station text that to me this AM. Actually in their defense, clouded up numerous times and would have two or three drops each time. Possible showers this afternoon about 5. Who knows.

Morning folks!
Sunny and 70's today. Blue Angels flyover route shows over our house. They start around 11 am and then off for groceries.DougM - All the Mothers Day items - card, flowers, steaks (son will grill) - CHECK!Did final corrections/warranty repairs on the big layout with all the electronics. We found that the wall wart that powers the Lionel LCS data lines (PDI) cannot power all the modules on this layout. Addition of the LCS WiFi module to the existing 12 ASC2s, 4 BPC2s, and the SER2 was the straw that broke the proverbial camels back. The WiFi module draws a lotta juice - so cut the 12 VDC 1 Amp wall wart loose and spliced in a 12 VDC 2 Amp P/S and all is well. We are having to put the TMCC1/TMCC2 BPC2 protocol issue aside for now as no one has the info. Validated with those in the know that Lionel shop/warehouse is indeed completely closed up except for a handful of folks working remotely. Thus we cannot see about signing an agreement to access the protocol. That also means my parts order will hang in their cloud until some time in the future when NC allows non-essential businesses to open.Got through another big box of photos - this is tedious...one big box of kids school portrait photos to go through and about 5 shoeboxes of photos from prior to our marriage...that will be interesting!

V8Vega I hate the goverment here with a burning passion but the city of LA during this coronavirus time has a program to provide meals for senors because were the most venerable and not suppose to go out. I applied on line and got a email saying I was denied, I lied on my income and figured they said I made too much and also I am able to go to the store. Yesterday ther was a big box over my fence with 5 dinners. A bowl of rice, corn, carrots, probably more it's real good and healthy. Also a carton of milk, bottle of water, and a orange, 5 of each. 1st time I have ever had any benefit

Great. They should keep it up.
Hello there,
roof replacement is going slow. They told me 3 days, they've been at it 2 days and are less than half done. Onle 2 of 4 sides of the high roof plus both porches to do. Remove the old metal is slow, a lot of the nails were to long and bent over. No work today due to rain.
Grandson got this yesterday.
Congratulations to your grandson, that is one BIG turkey!
I hope the fryer's big enough to handle it!
PS: Tell him not to drop that camouflaged shotgun in the high grass, he'll never find it!
My son recorded the Blue Angels as they flew over one of the big hospitals about 5 miles from our house. Moments after his video they flew close enough to our house to get a good view from the back yard. From our area they headed to for downtown Dallas where they circled the city and then on to what we call the "mid-cities" and then Ft Worth.
They are doing a cross country salute to the first responders dealing with the pandemic. They were up in Anj's neighborhood a few days ago.
Morning. 68 and cooler. Sunny and pretty day. Work on rearranging lumber under shelter and etc. Tomorrow, feed trailer parks and etc. Have a good one.

Good afternoon all,
Beautiful day outside. Hope to do more yardwork tonight. Busier day than expected at work. Should be quiet tomorrow. Knocked down last of large honey suckle plants last night. Hopefully I can keep them down. I hope everyone has a good day.
Everybody must have been outside last night like me. Finished edging and trimming. Yard looks nice for once. Lousy weather today and the weekend. Figures as this would have been the GP of Indy weekend. I hope everyone has a good day.
Started out in the 40's but now 67. 70's today. Possible rain this evening. Out the door to feed trailer parks and others.
March has returned Hi of 47 today. Low of 25 tonight. Our dicktater has extended the stay at home order till May 28, She is being sued from several sources but knows how long it will take to go through the legal system. The auto plants will open soon, that will put a lot of people back to work but won't help the small business' that can't reopen.
Same here SJ, 40 degrees heading to 50 with full sun and 31 tonight,,,WTH???
We have been on the end of May thing for some time already. Makes sence in Chicago not sure if it does out here. Is what it is. Our life has not changed much. We still come and go much like we always have. Now there is no meat in the stores. Seems there is now something from COVID-19 that the kids can get. If it is true, that will be a game changer for sure! They will give us old folks up in a heartbeat but their kids start to get sick and OH BOY watch their opinions change.
SJ, it looks like you could be sitting next to a timebomb in MI with that open carry thing there. Hope it don't turn into a mob thing. People!

Good Morning,
Weather sure has been warm around here. Yesterday was the peak of the current heat wave. Some places here in the LA basin got to the upper 90's, we were in the upper 80's. Suppose to break today and be cooler, mid 70's. Then stay around that for about a week I think.
My garage project is goin well, slow but good. Can't believe all the stuff I have found! Given that I have the majority of tools my Dad had (machinist), and my Step-Dad, and now my FIL. I think I could open a hardware store. Today, going to be sorting sheet metal and wood screws. Sometimes it is difficult to identify which is which. I know the threads are different, and wood screws typically are tappered. But many sure look the same. So I guess the final determinate will be which bin needs which.
We did make a trip to Costco the other morning, boy do they have that well organized. We got everything on our list, and got out of there in no time.
Chris is moving to a new apartment this weekend, so will help him with that. And Lloyd sent me a text about working on some layouts, will find out the details later today. Hoping wont start until Monday.
All the knews I have,
Nice looking turkey Congrats to your grandson Banks!
Take care all, be safe! And, Happy Mother's Day
Don
Evening folks!
Front blasted through this morning with a bit of rain, heavy wind from the nawth, and cool down. Sunny, 70's for the weekend!
Visit to foot doc today - licensed physicians were allowed to open this week. Trip to Lowes - time to replace the hoses to the washer - I do this every couple of years. Bought parts to get the automatic pool filler installed and operational for the summer. Could not locate a critical part to the unit, but finally found it after an hour...
Had the lawn guy plant a large crepe myrtle to replace one ripped up by the tornado...$300 for an 8 footer...did not want to wait years for it to grow and the other ones are around 20 ft. Will possibly plant another one next week to balance out the yard.
Dennis - glad they got you on the meals distribution. Less time in the grocery store and more time to unbox your trains! I like those metal 6400's. They look good behind most PW steamers!
Wake up! It'sa sunny day! Very cool out and 73 today
Morning all, been a while. heres what I have been up to.
Started out at 48* this am, only going to 69* according to the weather people. Well I now have 8 shelves of 16' done out of the 22', six feet to go, ( +/- a inch ) Kinda cut it off a little in this picI missed the bottom row in this pic but nothing there really set up yet.And finally a distant shot of it all I've done so far. I still have to paint the 9 boards I have left from when I ran out of paint, 8 will get cut to size before painting and after that I have more track coming in to finish them/wall. I'm starting to think I may have more shelves when I get done trains but I can't see how that would even be remotely possible. I'm thinking when I get my new shed and can get things out of here of doing some custom ( height and width ) shelves to put unopened sets in. I have four or five I believe and all are shrink wrapped where you can take the lid off and display them. I don't really want to open them to display them. We will see. Later all.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

You rang...? Mornin' boys. Sunny and 41 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. After 3 long days of bustin' my buttooty, 'tis nice to be home. Did get to shake the rust off my brakeman skills yesterday, as we shunted some rolling stock around. No pile-ups, but I did have one moment. It felt really good to be back at the yard, and I'm not as sore as I thought I would be.
Wifey wants to go to the grocery store today. We have the house all to ourselves, as youngest got picked up by her boyfriend?
New MTH catalog on-line now. I find myself conflicted ordering anything after all of this... I did win an AF Chessie animated caboose from e-bay, and it arrived intact, so that was nice.
Dennis my new attuted is if it doesn't fit on my layout or the shelves it's going to be sold.
The BO&W Railroad had to call out the blower. We had snow last night in the valley. It was 30° this am.
