Morning all.
Liking the attic Spanky. Hope Roy is ok.
Losing another shop in the area. Mercer Junction is closing by the end of the year. Real shame as Dave is a great guy and the store was way cool. Fallout from MTH closing.
Everyone have a great day!

Evenin' FellasBeen a rough go of it lately. Had my yearly cardio checkup and everything looks good, had to go for an MRI calcium scan, and a nuclear stress test. Follow-up next Wednesday to see how it all looks. Sisters came for a visit last week end and I guess it went OK. Found out last night that my Mom's cousin passed away, expected but not so soon. We used to go up to their house in central PA every Friday night before PSU home games, wake up early Saturday, pile into their motorhome and go up to State College for tailgaiting and the game. As the years passed we would go up to his wife's brother's farm and stay in their hunting camp before going to the game. So many memories!Fife - conga on the new grandson!
Banks - nice bear! Does Fifey's Wifey know your grandson shot her bear? Prayers for those in need... will try to check in more often.

Good attic report, Spanky. Looks good.
Hello there from Assateague. Sitting on a picnic table by the bay watching the tide go out. Only a handful of people here. Water is calm with a light breeze. Mrs and I enjoyed a picnic lunch now enjoying the sights and reading. Got ribs in the crockpot at the camper for supper. Prayers for Roy and Mrs Mike
Fife......congas on the news. I'll keep you posted on the show. The bear was 300lb and 20 years old, 5 years older than grandson. SIL had been watching it on gamecam for weeks. Prayers for those in need and the end of this pandemic
Good Morning,
Best wishes and prayers for Roy today, may the surgery be a great success!
Also for Mike C's wife and the her eye, hopefully good news on Wednesday!
Congrats Fife with the news from the Princess
Congrats to Jenni on her car club award.
Take care all and have a great day!!

Slept late. Then country ham biscuits and grits [with ham gravy]. Now to get going. Taking pickup to mechanic and give instructions on how to set gear lash on steering box. Something he should have done 2 years ago when it was installed. He has been messing with the steering for two years. Finally got to talk to him and show him. Seems they write it up and he didn't understand.Special prayers for Roy.Tax hearing tomorrow and Wednesday.Have a good week.
Mornin' boys. Cloudy & 50 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Gonna be a chill-out day, after hosting family all weekend. Found out Middle Princess is going to have a baby boy. Grandsons were here, so oldest boy wanted to make a campfire, and the curly-top wanted to run trains. They all went to a pumpkin patch yesterday afternoon, whilest I stayed behind, picking up around the house.
Roy - Good luck today!
Good Morning......Happy Birthday, Roy - and prayers for a good outcome to your surgery today.Banks - that's a decent size bear - enjoy your trip!!!Buckeye - Happy Birthday - just in case.....lol
DonB - glad things are working out on the MIL thing and the pool? Good luck, hope it's a inexpensive repair....
Friday night ran to Jenni's parents, got there at 830, had dinner and brought more of her stuff home. Another 1 AM bed time. I got my phone back on Saturday, the mobile internet wasn't working, Saturday afternoon, it was out again.The road runner was cleaned and detailed, went to Jenni's car club bonfire, home by midnight. Sunday up at dawn to get the car ready, some minor touch up and getting the car show stuff in the car, then off to Jenni's and work on her car. Spent the day at the car show, Jenni won a Top 50 award. Took a nap, got some groceries and cleaned the piggie's cage out. Had to run to the pharmacy at 11 to get the rest of her meds. In bed back at Mom's by midnight.Still thinking about a mental health day, soon.Sunny and 65-70 today and tomorrow - that's all from here.
Good thoughts Roy on your surgery.
Spent a good bit of the weekend on the bike. Lots of mile this year. Spent a lot of time downtown area watch folks out and about. It's good to see some folks not petrified of being out. They take the precautions.
Cut the grass on Sunday hopefully for the last time this year.
Stay safe everyone.
Good evening from beautiful 55°F Southern Ohio,
We’ve had the puppy for over a week now and he has gained almost two pounds. He seems to learn quick and is doing good. He and our 12 year old schnauzer play together and it is fun to watch.
Still working on the kitchen re-do electrical. only about 4 circuits to run and 5 more recessed lights to install.
Roy – I'll be saying extra prayers for you and your caregivers tomorrow.
Don – Pools and boats. Great when you get them and great when you get rid of them.
Banks – It is so good to see the next generation of hunters! Congrats.
May God bless you and you families
Jim
Did not do much today. Swept floor. Saturday mulched leaves and went to Mass. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Hey all! Preparing myself mentally for tomorrow. Had a tough time recovering from the pre-surgery procedure they did on me Friday. Kiddos coming for dinner and B-Day. Homemade cupcakes coming out of the oven as I type. No sense in cake sitting around since we will be out all week while I am in hospital!
Regards, Roy
Good Morning,Banks, That is a great picture of your Grandson and the bear! Congrats!Happy Birthday Roy!! Best wishes for the surgery tomorrow, and plenty of prayers! Just remember to LET THEM do it, don't try to help them! Then Ice Cream and Jell-o for a week.Looks like going to have to have some major work done on the pool. We had the whole thing resurfaced about 18 yrs ago, and now we have a "slit" about 30" long on one side. Had a guy out and possibly can be repaired. Will need to drain it and then determine extent of damage and go from there. So we really need to wait until December or so, to avoid creating more issues with the it drained while we have warm/hot weather. So will see what happens. Considered just removing it and filling the hole, but that would be $20k+, due to the environmental and code regulations. Definitely a money pit!Things going well with the activities from MIL passing. Funeral on Thursday, Kay has been coordinating relatives coming to house for mementos, and stuff. So far so good. I guess that's about it from here, so be good and stay safe.
Better get moving. Computer Church was good. Slept good last night. Been lazy this AM. Rifle to wipe down. Hunting was not the best. Only does and not many of them. Enjoyed the outdoors and the woods. Better next weekend.
Good bear report for Grandson.
All have a great and safe week ahead.
Hello there, Woke yesterday morning to the news that grandson got a bear. I'm going to insert a picture but it probably won't show, my phone can't seem to do it. Someone please convert it Yesterday was a lazy day. Went to a Dollar store for a couple things and stopped at Seaside Hobbies. It's a small train store jammed with 90% vintage trains in all scales. Managed to leave empty handed. The plan for today is another lazy day Prayers for those in need, those affected by the fires, hurricanes and the end of this pandemic.
Wow nobody posted at all yesterday
Morning all. Not much going on here. Just a fly-by to say hello
Hope all having a good weekend
Good evening all,
Actually not a good day at all. Wife's eye went black on her....again. Requires major major surgery next Wednesday. Not good. Sigh..... I hope everyone has a good day.
Hello there, checking in from Delaware Seashore State Park. An uneventful trip Wednesday. Thursday spent a couple of hours enjoying 75 degrees picnicing and watching several guys kitesurfing in the bay at Assateague. A large group considering it's mid October, several swimming as well. I didn't check myself but radio reports water temperature of 71 degrees. Wind, rain and falling temperature today. We took a ride to Berlin Md and did takeout at an eatery we like. Not much social distancing going on. They'd blocked a couple of tables but not enough and the place was full. Everybody on the streets was wearing masks. I was really surprised how many people were in town on a Friday in mid October. Could have been mid July. The main reason for the trip was a visit to both Toy Town stores. In Berlin I picked up an HO Gilbert stock car and a Lionel Turbo missile firing car for cheap. At Snow Hill a Gilbert caboose and hay ejector car, both for parts. The owner told me he'd be consolidating into the Snow Hill store over the winter. Capped off the trip with another visit to Assateague. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. Saw lots of horses, only got out of the car to let the dogs do their business. Then back to the camper and chili Mrs started in the crock pot. Spent the evening watching ME TV Crawling into bed soon.Prayers for those in need, those affected by the fires, hurricanes and the end of this pandemic.
TGIF, Dudes and Dudettes!!
Cool wet and dreary today - 60s and rain and will continue into the morning on Saturday. Sunday is 65 and cloudy.
Kids are home so now I can sleep better. 24 hour drive from OK to home.
Running to Manahawkin after work to see my future in laws, her Dad had rotator cuff surgery on the right Wednesday, he had the left done 3 months ago.
Will be detailing Mom's and my own car for Sunday's car show, tomorrow.
Fife - National Boss Hog Day? And you know, anything in the North East is going to be expensive or ruled by people that think they know better than we do......
Trying to coordinate a day off - I need more 2 wheel and Lionel therapy, that will happen in the next couple of weeks, I think.....
Back soonest - gotta pay dem bills
National Bosses Day!
Rainy good morning. Suppose to stop around noon. Headed east around noon after haircut. Spend the night as gun season starts tomorrow.Have a good one.
Mornin' boys. Overcast and 55 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Freeze warning tonight, so palm tree in garage. Will be headed out this afternoon to fetch the youngest princess, and have a nice daddy-daughter meal.
Wifey and I have been prepping Fifedom all week, for a little family shindig tomorrow. Seems we know what the new grandbaby will be. All breakables have been stored in prep for the curly-top's arrival. Train room at the ready.
anj - When APG announced that they would be receiving the workforce from a facility in NJ, I thought "who in the world would want to move to MD...?" Silly me.
Fall colors are in full swing in the region, if you hadn't heard.
Thanks Anj!
Meanwhile....
The wife called out from the next room....
Have you ever had a stabbing pain across your chest like someone's got a voodoo doll and they're stabbing it?
Sounding concerned I replied - No...
She responded - "How about now?"
Happy Friday Eve ----
Yep, tis expensive where I live, there is no doubt. But it's home and I make do with as much as I can. Mom still lives here as does my sister and BIL. I moved my daughter here with her BF.
Yes, because the people of this state are stupid enough to elect the same tax and spend crimin--- I mean politicians, nothing changes. It is a beautiful small town and we love it here.
Flint - yup people are moving out in DROVES and it's because of the taxes, definitely. I can't tell you what my Mom pays.......and I can tell you 52% of my property taxes go toward the schools. 30% is borough and 18% is county.
Roy - nice work on the carb - continue prayers on your treatment and recovery to come.
Windy and up to 70 today. Not much else - NY electric train sale on Facebook tonight!!!
Back to work
Morning guys!
Started sunny and then the cold/cool front arrived about 9, very cloudy, light steady breeze...will only hit mid-70's today (90+ yesterday).
COVID test from yesterday came back negative - they did the full boat version where they run that swab way back into your brain and then twirl it for 5 secs - yowzers! - test procedure early tomorrow morning. As they are going to put me under I do not know if I will be any shape tomorrow afternoon to read/post based on my wife's recent experiences. Been a very long time since I went under (light) anesthesia (~1980) and that was only for an hour or so for a procedure on my hand.
Got the electronic Q-Jet apart and cleaned - it is in better shape than I thought (it was a professional rebuild/reconditioned). No buggered up parts - as it had a dead throttle position sensor (TPS) I suspect that it is why it was pulled/tossed. Got the throttle plate and body back together, new needle/seat/float/check ball installed and factory specs applied to the mixture control solenoid/main jets/metering rods and float. That took a while. Have to drill out some plugs on the cover assembly so I can check/apply spec settings to the TPS range. The idle jet/screws plugs had already been cleanly removed (milled nicely). Hope to finish it today - not working real hard obviously!
MikeC - thanks!
