Good evening all,

Billwiz, I know the feeling.  Local history museum cancelled our Halloween event, where we have ran our spooky layout the past few years.  Hopefully next year.  Going to the track tomorrow.  Foyt team had some bad luck in qualifying.  Will see what happens in the first race.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Tonight my church leadership officially cancelled our Christmas train theme outreach event. While I knew it was coming, it really hurts. Dang this virus.

Happy Friday Eve

After work, ran to pick up Jenni and go to Harbor Freight.  That was a bust, they changed their hours and closed at 7 not 8.  Had Sonic for dinner, and I brought my 1130 with me, in the off chance that Trains and Things was open.  Yes it's a Scout engine, however, being an early build and semi rare (silver stamped number), I dropped it off to have the E-Unit either repaired or replaced. 
Looked around for a bit, will be back to purchase when the 1130 is done.  Will most likely keep it as an occasional runner and display piece, like my Dad's 1666.

Fire drill and we'll see if the launch from Wallop's Island is visible tonight.  938 launch time.

That's all from here......

Afternoon all. 

been a quiet day here today. Had some errands this a.m. but after that, it's just been-kick-back alley LOL. 

Got more stuff removed from the train room and back into the shed :).

 otherwise been keeping busy removing shrubbery that the wife wants it gone, ( well cutting it even with the ground. I will kill it later.  Can only do so much at a time. The city restricts how much yard trash they will pick-up at a time. 

Hope all doing well

Talk to you all later

Afternoon folks!

Happy October! Sunny and low 80's after a cool front last night!

Got the ECM in the El Cam to power up yesterday and proper voltages for test of wiring harness (with no sensors/controls connected). The fire did not destroy the ECM. Working on next level test with some sensors/controls and in parallel getting back to the AC hoses/etc/

Regards, Roy

Mornin' boys.  Sunny and 53 along the Patterson Creek cut-off.  Will be heading up to Cumberland, then the railyard later for some chores.  Did finish painting the ceiling in nursery yesterday, then patched the scars-marks-nail holes in the upstairs hallway.  Middle Princess needs to pick a color.  Wifey and I power-washed and scrubbed their deck and back of house, then sat down to a nice bbq chicken dinner.  I have a few small projects to finish up today.

Thoughts to all my friends hurting.  Right there with you.

Morning.  Green Tea in my mug this morning at work.  Still building 53' white boxes with TVs in them. Somebody has to do it.

Cool here again today.  I'm not complaining as this is my weather. 

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Morning. Out the door to Edgecombe to trim shooting lanes. Got a young man to handle pole saw. That is good as old back not the best this AM. Too much lifting working on tractor [now fixed and running good] and big bags of corn from tractor supply. Removed gas tank and washed it out.  Seems they thought they had washed it out without removing it.  Looked good inside.  Got new strainer for gas bowl.  All clean and running good now.  Filled it up this time.  Mow tomorrow all day.

Enjoy your day.
