Good afternoon all,
Soggy day in Indiana. Betweeh grocery shopping and yard mulching Wednesday, I worked my posterior off. Taking it easy today. Quiet day at work today. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Morning,
Heard from Roy this morning, he isn't out of the woods yet. He is having "good" and "bad" days, yesterday was a bad day. Having trouble swallowing food and liquid. He lost 10lbs while in the hospital, and with the Covid scenerio didn't really get a thorough release consoltation.
Was left in the dark as to what to expect. They have made multiple attempts to talk with the Dr's, but have not had much success. He and his wife have been doing research on the web. He also indicated that all his food is being pureed, and even water is difficult. Most important issue is keeping anything from going into his lungs. They just got some "thickening" powder to make water more dense to help get it to his stomach. We talked for maybe 15 minutes, I told him I had thought about calling him earlier this week, but didn't want to put strain on him or his voice. He said I made the right choice. Also, asked if I would post this, and he will be back to the forum soon. Continued prayers!
On our front, it appears the fires are under control, all the evacuations have been lifted. I Spent yesterday cleaning up ash, and leaves from the Santa Winds. I'm sure will have more of that in the next few days!
Did get to see the Nascar race yesterday afternoon, (suppose to be last Sunday, been postponed daily due to rain). Did enjoy the race.
Take care All, and have a great day!

Evenin FellasTheQ has been in SA since Sunday and man is the house not the same without her. Kids are doing their best with online learning (think they are getting accustomed to it). Took them to a local place that decorates for Halloween on Monday. Really neat and the kids liked it. Yesterday I placed a couple of online orders and we spent the evening driving to Columbia, then Rockville, then home... 3.5 hours... UGH, but we found a new ice cream place in Rockville that makes custom ice cream sandwiches. Fife - sounds good. Tell Tom I said Hi. Wish I could have made it up this time... have to join you guys for that trip some day.DonB - thanks for the update on Roy. Been praying for him.Spanky - Yeah last weekend was only 1/2 decent for me... lol.NJ - glad things are looking up for you!Banks - think I forgot to mention it... nice bear!

Fife.....I'll hang around till you get there.
Hello there,
as of dark 2.5 inches of much needed rain from Zeta.
Spent a few hours Thursday Friday and Saturday hunting. Saw a few squirrels and a couple flocks of turkeys but no deer.
Got the camper winterized yesterday. The rain kept me inside today working on some house stuff.
Best get to sleep.
Prayers for those in need, affected by hurricanes, wildfires and the end of this pandemic

Mornin' boys. Damp,damp,damp and 49 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. My buddy Tom will be here this afternoon, and he's bringing crabcakes. The train room will be a-buzzing this weekend, and I'll meet up with Banksie Sunday morning at the Blair County Train Swap Meet. www.altoonatrain.com
Today, another sad day at the railyard.
Spent yesterday getting a quickie oil change, then visiting FifeMom. She fell the day before, and was a little sore. She needs to use her walker, always. Stepdad also took a tumble this week. Oy-vay.
Continued for Roy. I want him around here for a long, long time.
88 - The Alleghanies should still be here when you finally make it...
dbaker - Glad the ash is all you have to deal with. Too bad none of those hurricanes took a left turn.
Chief - Keep'em straight down there.
Slept late. Coffee good. Turned cooler. Off to do baseboards at FIL's and then babysit Grands.

Good morning from a clearing 45°F Southern Ohio,
Rained most all of yesterday. I took a vacation day to be home while the drywall guy was hanging and finishing the drywall from where we removed the above cabinet soffits. I’ve done drywall but I’m SLOW. We judged to hire out the drywall work. He will be done in another hour or two. Well worth the money to hire out in my judgment. Once he’s done, I’ll cut some holes in the ceiling for the lights and paint Saturday or Sunday, then start hanging cabinets next week.
Took the puppy for his 10 weeks shots. All is good. He is going to be a really good dog.
Fife- My MIL fell several times until it convinced my wife’s family she needed full time help.
Don – Thank you the update on Roy. Let him know I’m praying for him.
Rich – Meeting with folks who have self-motivated agendas, or only willing to hear what they want to hear, well, let’s just say they task my patience.
May God bless you and you families

T G I FGreeting from a cold and rainy Central Jersey! Still raining and 43F don't expect it to get much warmer at this point.Finally got my meds last night, had time to go to Burlington and Target to look for a comforter, not finding what I want, got dinner at Mickey D's then dropped off my ballot at the drop box by the fire house.Not sure of plans for the night as Jenni has a chiropractor appointment and that might last past my 6:30 punch out time. With the rut season upon us and since she already tagged a deer with the Charger, I hate to have her drive at night. I may run over to my house for a bit then over to her. Saturday will be a train store run and drop off the cable boxes, we changed to Fios and our internet speeds tripled at about half the cost.Prayers for Roy.......Banks - Sound like something I'd like to do --- stay inside like in my attic....
Phish - Yeah, me too, but this is for the betterment of the department. We have a small core that will stick to their guns, and that is refreshing.
LionRoar - Like you, I think I finally found someone that has the same interests, passion and immature things that I like/do. We can all get older, but not really grow up. We mesh well. She is priceless...... I marvel at your kids, btw, they look like great kids and that is a treasure......I'm still making memories with my Princess....
Back to the nonsence we call WORK - After I get done at Mom's tomorrow night, we get to act like kids. Jenni is Mortisha and I'm Gomez - I actually grew my Fu Manchu back for this....
I am the monster in your head...And I thought you'd learn by now, It seems you haven't yet.I am the venom in your skin --- Breaking Benjamin

Don't go blowin' up no Lionels.
THAT ain't happening......lol
Morning. Partly cloudy and chilly. This is good for deer season. Will hit the road for the farms soon. Fred only one hunting. Seeing does, rabbits, squirrels and a raccoon. Headed east in a few. Back tonight.
Got home at 12:30 AM. No protesters showed. Funny. Frankie was home by 11:30. Had fun with oldest Granddaughter [she was in charge]. Grandson behaved and we all ate HOTDOGS. He is a picky eater. Ate all his hotdog and some of Papa Frank's french fries.
Enjoy your day.
