Benign, Lab results from Granny Pat's cyst and ovaries.

 

 

Great news SJ!!!!!

Well after a lot of F-ucking around with that log splitter carb,,,,I win. It is running like it should and will be just fine!

Feel good about the whole process. Got a new carb on the way cost all of $18.34 but just beating the problems on the original make it worth the fight.

V8Vega
he said when your not watching the TV turn it off.

Interesting, that's a flip from the old days of picture tube TV's, which I'm sure most of us remember.  Back in those days the advice was don't "turn-it-on, turn-it-off, turn-it-on, turn-it-off" repeatedly, because that was bad for the TV!

Howdy all !

Supposed to cool down a little bit today.  Thumbs Up

Prayers for your Mom, Rich. I had my ICD, I call it a pacemaker with an attitude, implanted just five years ago and in that short time they have been improved tremendously. They aren't near as sensitive to external interference now, with mine I have to be aware of some electrical devices and several times that I have had to make a trip to er they need to know that MRI's are FORBIDDEN. When the grandson was much younger we played laser tag, after the ICD Gramps had to hang up his vest and laser gun.

Roy, The DCS guru spent some time in S.D. visiting us. At one point I thought he was going to be writing his own softeware for it but never heard anything more about it. No sense crying over spilled milk, if and when my Proto 2 and/or 3 engines crap out I guess they could be converted to ERR electronics.

Later !

Morning folks!

Sunny and very nice. Beautiful day and evening yesterday. High 80's and low hoomidity Thumbs Up Grilled chicken on the back porch and sat out til dark. Very pleasant.

Low 90's today but still very nice! Will find something to grill tonight!

No joy on resolving the low DCS signal on the layout I visited Tues. I did come up with a workaround for the time being, but only on the main line. Customer leaving town so we will revisit the issue in late July.

Anj - prayers for your mother Angel

Fife - I forgot to look into the 1309 rewheeling yesterday. Hope did it go?

Kev - nice! I always wanted a small splitter as the firewood we end up with most years, even though it is 'split', is too big and needs a second or third split. But no room for anything like that.

Regards, Roy

Great day on The North Bluff. Mid 70s and low humidity.

Rich, take care of mom! Angel

Got one of these yesterday at the old Big R for $600.00+ tax. they wanted $800.00 because it had been sitting for a long time and looked like it. Talked the manager down on it. They don't sell them anymore.

When I got it home the carb butterfly is frozen from sitting outside the building in the weather. It runs okay but only wide open. Trying to WD-40 it loose. If not a new one is under $20.00 Touched it up and looked it over, now it looks as new again.

I knew it was worth about twice what I got it for. Here it is at Rural King. Same thing.

https://www.ruralking.com/black-diamond-30-ton-log-splitter…

This is the third log splitter I have had. I made the last two. My mistake is both times I designed and built them but with shared parts and money from a so called friend. So it always comes to a time where they just leave town or want it back. Stupid me. Bang Head This one is ours and will long outlast my old a$$. So getting it running like new is the latest project.

Best wishes for your Mom 'Devil!

"Wet knees" damp?  Yeah, sounds like summer's arrived in your part of Jersey all right.  And I thought we had it bad in this part of Virginia!  Gets so humid down here you can cut the air with a knife and spread it on a good southern biscuit!

Good Morning................

Mom had an ablation scheduled yesterday and wound up having 2 stents inserted. My sister will accompany Mom to the cardio doc next go 'round, there are things we are not being told.

Mom will need to wear a vest, however, we are going explore a pacemaker, which she'll have zero issues with.  Mom scheduled to come home this afternoon. 

Cleaned up the house and took the bike to Jenni's, we had dinner then ran out for ice cream at the Wawa (Dairy Queen closes at 9).  Got a couple of bottles of PowerAide for Jenni's house.  Left this morning about 6 to come home, it had rained and it is VERY humid.  My knees were damp when I got home, yes it was THAT damp.

Cloudy showers later, 90ish 90% humidity. 

Fife - looks like my "trip" will be postponed for the time being, need to keep an eye on Mom.

Already looking forward to fall, two days of 100*+ with the AC. All I can see is $$$ for SDG&E, ouch.

Kev, I still haven't been able to get a haircut, hope he opens soon. No way in hell do I see myself with a "manbun". Laugh

BIG Winds yesterday, pick-up sticks and limbs today.

I did get all my hairs cut at 9:20 this morning and only had to wait 3 minutes to be seated.. Yes On-line check-in works.

 If not for those cartoons I would have never known how to get even with my older brother. Laugh

That's bs about looney tunes. We're creating a generation of wusses.

Wasn't Elmer Fudd's weapon a pop gun?  Why aren't they taking the ray gun from the space man? Bugs Bunny planted many secret bombs and dynamite.

Hello there, should be sleeping but wide awake.

Glad granny Pat is home.

That's bs about looney tunes. We're creating a generation of wusses.

I could care less about MTH. Their HO stuff is nice but not for me.

Summer definitely here. Hot and humid. Was making hay Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon and today. Got 200 bales on wagons to put in for us. 70 bales delivered to daughters for her goats. Done for a while, storms predicted the rest of the week.

Visit to cardio doc yesterday so so. Did echo, He says heart good me say still can't breathe. Lung doc say lung good. He say ok, we do stress test. Waiting on date for that.

Best try to sleep

Prayers for those in need and the end of this pandemic.

Evening folks!

A warm one today at 95, but not unpleasant. Sunny. Cool front tonight.

Spent the day working on a layout where the DCS signal is not working with/through Lionel BPC2 relays. Track signal 10 when not going through a relay - I.e. constant power to track. Track signal 0-2 through a relay for a switched power block/track. Typical witch hunt, science project that can take days to resolve. Not a fan...

Fife - sounds cool! I will try to take a look.

Regards, Roy

Evenin' boys.  Sunny & hot today at Ridgeley Yard.  Greeted Trains editor Jim Wrinn, and his lovely wife.  He bought me a sandwich.  No one ever did that for me before.  No, I didn't attach myself to his leg afterwards...  Also greeted the Hulcher crew, and their four CAT 583K boom tractors.  Awesome machines.  I asked the GM to buy me, I mean the railroad, one.  Work also continues on our open air car.  The shop guys started to install the mesh for the lower sides, and it looks great.  Tomorrow is the re-wheeling of 2-6-6-2 1309.   I believe TRAINS Magazine is live-streaming the event.  Some guy cleared brush and foliage, so that the general public could walk up to the fence, and get a good view of the goings on.

Sad about MTH.  I've got a lot of purple boxes, as well as orange/yellow ones.  I wish Mike well.

Well that begs a new question. If the "guns" are deemed to violent for cartoons are they going to address the much more gruesome violence that is constantly shown in video games ?

 SoapBox

 

Shhhhhh, that's a question you're not supposed to ask!  It makes too much sense!

Besides, who cares what they do?  "Looney Tunes" hasn't been the same since Mel Blanc died anyway!

By way of example...

Anybody have the Lionel Looney Tunes cars ? If you do they may be collectors items before to long. Elmer Fudd has had his shotgun taken away and Yosemite Sam has had his six shooter taken away. PC !  Bang Head

Sun and 90 today.

Granny Pat is home as of yesterday afternoon. She seemed to have a decent night. Got to shower this morning, back to the water. She did like that. She came downstairs, took a pain pill and is now sleeping on the couch. My MTH soap box is on the MTH thread.

Happy anniversary Roy to you and the better half!!!!!  Drinks

 Roy, I have bad Allergy/sinus issues as well. What helps me the most is doing a NeilMed sinus rince followed by two shots of Generic Flonase (fluticasone) before bed. That makes a world of help with sleep.

 Another hot one today then rain tonight from Cristobal moves in. Storm

 

This is the stuff we use Roy.

Morning.  77 and humid.  Of to Fred's to help him with a project.

Pam's Uncle has lots of collectable train cars.  Doesn't know what he has.  He is a "junk" collector and "paw" guy.

Have a good one.

Evening folks!

Been awfully busy the last few days. Allergy/sinus issues flattened me with several nights of little to no sleep, and at my age loss of sleep is a killer. Anyway, got a real 7 hrs last night so felt somewhat better today.

The Mrs and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary yesterday. Son and daughter cooked. Steaks on the charcoal Weber. Baked taters and salads. Most excellent! Son, his GF, daughter and SIL in attendance.

Today was my daughters 29th bday. Had another party here with her favorite, fried pork chops, gravy, mashed taters, baked broccoli, and scratch yellow cake with chocolate icing! As the wife says, what can go wrong with butter, sugar, and cocoa?

Regards, Roy

HOT!!! We went from heat on to AC, nothing in the middle. Should be in the 70s not 90s.

A trip to Menards only produced about half of my list of wants. Place is a nut house with PEOPLE. Oh well just money I did not spend.  Indifferent I did see a nice log splitter at Stock and Field. Wink
