Good Evening,
Had a good day, did a little work on Chris' house, then watched the Nascar race. Spectrum came out to troubleshoot/repair some telephone issues. No cost, hope they actually did something. Said we were experiencing low signal strength, so they tightened up some connections and cleanned contacts (?).
Kev, hope the wifes B-day party went well.
FIFE, sorry to hear about your Mom? Prayers for you and your family!!
Chief sounds like your right on top of the spring preparations.
Roy, glad to hear the laser surgery went well for wife. I wad 3 eye appointments this week! (Wed Field of Vision Test, Thur Optician for new glasses, Fri eye injection). All went very well. (Kay had annual check up on Tues)
All I know from hear, so take care all and be SAFE.

56 and sunny. Guessed high 70. Getting ready for outdoor church. Then travel south to a visitation with daughter. Son too busy with 4 wheelers. All the kids except Col have 4 wheelers. He and Wifey have them too. New phase for him.
dbaker48 Kev, hope the wifes B-day party went well.
Don, we had a great time for Sandra's 60th and the weather was perfect.
All of the grandkids and their parents were here at the same time but the two oldest, one working and the other, Dan's from another never shows, but he does cash those checks in his cards.
There was a lot of playing at the creek, gator driving and dirt bike riding and grilling.
Today is kick back and recover. Clody and cool with winter on the way back.
My neighbor is sick about what he did to his T190 Bobcat yesterday. He snapped off the bottom of the left lift arm above the bucket pin!!! That will be costy! Everybody stay safe!
Good afternoon all,
Frontier must have had a system wide outage as I was disconnected from work for about 3 hours Friday. I did a lot of errands Saturday and got the 21 inch mowers ready to go. Weather has been nice but supposed to get interesting the next few days. Prayers for Fife's mom. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Hello there.
Prayers for Fifemom.
Kev....how did he manage to break that? Can it be welded?Went to the show in Altoona this morning. A large turnout. Lots of new dealers. Bought 2 girder bridges and a gallon baggie full of mostly junk cars. I'll probably salvage brake wheels and couplers then toss the rest. Total investment of $12. Couldn't stay long, today was my turn to deposit the church collection. Mrs and I got an appointment to get the 1st Pfizer shot March 22. Progress on the kitchen is slow. The flooring is a pain. Went better after I figured it out, almost done. Also did a grocery pickup at WalyWorld and visited cardio doc for a followup. No problems other than I'm up a few pounds. Hope to fix that after the weather improves Prayers for those in need and the end of this pandemic.

Afternoon folks!
Some light rain this morning, cleared a bit to partly cloudy, 70. Nice out. Recall we have our BIL's dog. Been walking him every day. He is really good on a leash. BIL did not do well answering social workers questions. When asked if he had any daughters, yes, two, named them. Asked about sons, yes, two, could not name them - he does not have any sons. If it is decreed he cannot live in independent living again, he will not be able to have the dog. His oldest daughter plans to take him should that happen. We are keeping him until that point to avoid bouncing him between homes - confuses him and he gets sad. At this time he has adapted well to us and our house/yard.
Not doing much the last several days - energy levels very low. Good NASCAR race yesterday. Watching the race today and the Gatornationals just prior.
Fife - continued prayers for your mom
EDIT - almost forgot - today is PI day - at 1:59 one could celebrate 3-14-1-5-9! I am sure Buckeye is hung over from all the celebrating!
Regards, Roy
Happy Sunday all! I hope everyone has a great week.
46 and some clouds. Cooler this week. Off to Raleigh for some errands.Enjoy your day.
Good morning folks!
Sunny and 70+ today. Went out and soaked up some vitamin D to start the day!
Morning. Looks like a decent day ahead.
Garage cleaned out over the weekend and started to think about a few projects on the burner. Everyone is doing well on my side I hope the same for all of you!
Take care all!

39 and raining [Yankee weather]. Slept till 8:15. Raisin Brand and coffee. Chatted with Wifey until she left for work. Few errands to run. Computer meeting at noon.Hope all are OK. Enjoy the day.
Been tearing down my layout to make a more friendly way of getting to derailments or other things. I'm thinking either 8' x 20' or 10' by 20' with access thru the 2' going up the middle long way so I would end up with being only 2' max reach anywhere on the layout. Right now trying to get as much as I can into the main part of the house (the train room was a garage I enclosed that was an add-on at some point before I bought the house. And the turn to get into the garage was way too tight to do in my truck without having to go back and forth about 4 times. Use to have to go outside to get to the garage also, so took where there use to be a window and made it bigger and put a window in that spot. so now can access the train room from in the house.
Morning/afternoon all!
Cloudy, warm, maybe some storms later. For first time in many years - the old adage for March, comes in like a lion and out like a lamb - may be the case?
DJ - lotsa action there - JLC would be proud!
39 and cloudy, (Yankee Weather) Better tomorrow will be mid 50s.
Well shot one of Moderena is in the arm, went well,1.5 hours from leaving home till I got back even with a stop at Menards. Go back the 13th of next month for # 2.
After the shot I drove over to Menards for some sealing paint to touch up the basement wall where I fixed a crack. That is done. Next will be the rest of the white wall.
Snow is melting from yesterday's last blast,,,I hope! Can never tell in March what will happen.
About it.
KRMSnow is melting from yesterday's last blast,,,I hope! Can never tell in March what will happen.
I hear you! When we lived in New Jersey I didn't stop worrying about snow until after May 1st!
Getting caught in a snowstorm in the middle of April while trout fishing will do that to you!
DJSpanky Flintlock76 I hear you! When we lived in New Jersey I didn't stop worrying about snow until after May 1st! Getting caught in a snowstorm in the middle of April while trout fishing will do that to you! When I was at Rutgers, one year we got 6" of snow around April 25th. Fun times!

Yeah we figure April 15th as last frost here but have been hit later than that. I also recall a guy that planted corn on the 10th of April and got away with that as well, so you never know?
Software acting up. Have a good Irish day. Off to the farms.
Happy ST. Patty's day all
No Irish here - some Scottish...A lotta fog this am - but enough about Texas politics - partly sunny today, 60's. Storms last night dumped about an inch anda' half of rain.
Evening All,
Some Irish here, can't say we celebrate it much, probably about 1/8 according to my Mom.
Spent the past two days working on a Blue Comet Heavyweight passenger car. I got it in a trade when I did the Nixon Library train layout. The curator had a Legacy Scale engine and 4 car set, but didn't like it because it was too complicated. Asked if I knew where he could find a Lionel conventional set, I told him I had one. He asked if we could trade! Mine was from the mid 80's, so obiously I said sure! His was a 2013 set, so a 30 year upgrade, and scale vs O27 set.
The problem with the pass car was wiring from BOTH trucks, the insulation was melted! I CAN'T believe the gauge wiring used, 24 or 26 awg! I replaced it with 18 awg, tight fit but it worked. A real PIA getting it back together! (Makes me wonder the wire condition in the other cars.)
HOPEFULLY, the weather is finally warming up, its been cold and wet here. But the days are noticeably longer! And certainly can't complain compared to the rest of the country!
One heck of an explosion in Ontario yesterday. Two houses blew and 80 damaged! 2 people were killed, it was all due to fireworks, probably being manufactured. The two deaths were 2 brothers who lived in one house. Lots of people evacuated and can't return for 4 or 5 days, until the area has been cleared. Big news here.
Take care all and be safe!

Prayers for your family and friends Fife. Remember the good times and try to let the hurt leave through the thoughts of the good times.
54 and rainy. Storm level been lower for us but still red zone south east of us.
So sorry Fife.
Dr. apt for pain relief postponed as schools closed today due to storm threat. Actually, virtual. No more snow days or others. Schools closed due to weather, virtual learning. [now some parents fussing about that ]
Go get Caddy they SAY is ready. Haircut later.
Fife...My condolances and prayers for you and your family.
