Oh, COVID-19's real all right.  I haven't lost anyone, but the proprietor of a train shop I enjoyed going to on my trips north, "The Old And Weary Car Shop" in Tappan NY, was carried off by the virus in April.  Sad, very sad.  I can't say I knew him well but he was a very friendly guy who treated everyone who came in the shop like an old friend. 

He was a widower, his wife died of cancer two years previously.  Maybe he just didn't want to go on anymore.

I don't know what's going to happen with the shop. It was a fun place to visit.

Hello there,

sad news today. Jeb, the toddler passed away this afternoon. Thanks for all your prayers. Please more Prayers for his parents, his Mom is 7 months pregnant. Times like these make our issues seem trivial. 

Thanks again

Kevin Phone, Provider is Consumer Cellular. I have them, Donna has a line and I have a line and I added unlimited talk for $5 and my bill is like $43 $ 44 a month. If I wanted text and all it would be $5 plus the tax for that.

Kevin I have the ZTE AVID 559. Unless you want to pay extra make sure to tell them you don't want to receive text and you want text and blocked. It's called there connect plan, and they charge you an extra $5 a month. now it's advisable to take the unlimited talk plan for a extra $5 a month. 

 

Is ZTE the provider or phone RT? I will have to look that phone up. Tks,

I want to go with Counsumer Cellular for the provider. Just want to know about phones. Yes

Glad to hear that.

That's the plans so far for today

Happy Hump Day - WOW FIRST PAGE!!!!

Miserable day yesterday, Had to layoff 3 guys at end of day (they were furloughed) and changed the status of 2 more (from in shop to in home, they were also furloughed and will return 7/13/20).  All last minute.  Worked til 5.  A multitude of issues/problems/programming, just nuts.  I'll be sitting back today and seeing what is going to happen, just absolute craziness yesterday and Monday.

Mom went out for a ride to the post office then we wound up at Jenni's house and I brought Jenni dinner.  Mom is doing much better!!  Thanks for the prayers, guys!! Stayed until 8 ish, stopped by my house to get something and checked in with my Princess and her and Mom had a quick chat.  Started on the road runner model, converting a 1:48 McDonalds Edition coupe to a convertible.  I cut the top off and cleaned up the cuts near the Dutchman panel (near trunk, lol) .  Later, I have to run the Mercer County Fireman's Association meeting in West Trenton.  The President is out with bladder cancer. I plan to leave early and put more money down on my K4s PRR w/TMCC, if not just buy it outright.  I think I'm spending more on trains stuff as of late, bought 4 tankers for $50 from NY Electric Trains last week.  4 Sunoco and 1 Mobil.  

Showers today, 80's and then cooler for the weekend and drier.

Mornin' boys.  Sunny & '76 along the Patterson Creek cut-off.  Might head up to the lake later on.  Wifey and I watched movie The Healer last night.  If you need a pick-me-up, check it out.

Fifepup and his gal are touring around SC this week.  He's still trying to impress her to move around Lake Murray.  Wedding plans for November '21.  He starts a new marina job on Monday, back in FLA.

Wifey has Fifedom back to normal, post grandsons' visit.  My buddy Tom was supposed to stay with us this week, but he had a dental emergency crop up.  So he'll try again in a week or two.

The RR made front page news.  It's been an up-and-down week (and it's only Wednesday).  Changes may be needed.  

Anywho, just glad the calendar has changed.  I like July.

Well, I started resurfacing the deck yesterday, got maybe a quarter of the way through it and started getting woozy, so I stopped immediately.  The heat sneaked up on me.  Wow.

Be careful out there folks!

Well he made it till 9PM. No rain here either and none in the forecast. We are looking at 90's for awhile. Grass is turning to straw real quick.
