Good Morning - Working from the NEW home office in my bedroom - I need a real chair....Happy Birthday, Dennis!!
Hope everyone had a great Easter -
Looking good, Fife and Lucas!! Awesome photo!!
On new meds from yesterday's clinic visit - so far so good - next visit in 2 weeks.Got some pictures for the street light project - I have the snow batting - it arrived Saturday and the aerosol snow will be here Friday....I need a quick visit to HD for plaster or some such, I'll be casting rocks in a mould then sanding them down making them snow piles. Should be an interesting project. I'll X-Fer the pics over if I can later.Up to 70F today, then the rock falls and then 60s and rain the rest of the week - meetings the next 3 nights: Line/Exec tonight, County Meeting Wednesday then Regular company meeting on Thursday.Friday the radio guy comes and redoes the Philco, replacing the capacitors and such - It is a wonderful radio, our Saturday nights are filled with oldies music and dancing in the living room with a fireplace going and sometimes slot cars racing around the coffee table....I'll be bringing my S-38 Hallicrafters and maybe he can get that to work - I LOVE that radio, it was my grandfathers....

Fine looking grandson Fife, he already has more hair than you.
Wifey got a call from Walmart yesterday. She was signed up on their waste list. Guess someone skipped out on their shot so she got her first shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine yesterday. She is very happy!

Good evening all,
Shed is paid for. CTT is here. Played tennis with grandson today. Did better than I expected, losing only 6-3. Good news is that I might get to play soccer this summer. Weather was good today. Had windows opened in house. Water was shutoff in my town today due to broken line. Ugh. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Flint - Thanks. No on the starter set. I wait 'til they get old enough to see what they like.
However.... His parents were given the Hogwarts set ( Bluetooth version) as a wedding present, and they've had it around the tree each Christmas. We shall see.
Beautiful child Fife!
Have you got the starter set picked out yet?
Chief - Yes. On his father's side...
61 and warming fast. Breakfast [two fried chicken legs] and coffee. Now ready for the day.Hope all are having a great week.Shoulder blade muscle still HURTS! Calling Dr.Fifefy, looks like G'Pa. Farms tomorrow to spray before grass around campers jumps too high.Later.
Mornin' boys. Sunny and 40 (s'posed to hit 70) along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Hope everyone had a blessed Easter. Here's mine.
Fifepops and Lucas. At 9 lbs, nothing "premie" about this fellow no more. Wifey bought him that outfit 2 weeks ago, and he had to be squeezed into it!
The shed is done! I hope you all had a good Easter. I hope everyone has a good day.

Happy Easter everyone! Hope the "Bunny" was as good to you as "she" was to me!
So it looks like I'm gonna get fat or spend the whole night in the bathroom.
Happy Easter gang!
WOW 72 already with full sun and heading UP. Happy Birthday Dennis.
No plans today. Wife don't want to go into the mess till she gets her shots.
59 and warming fast. Sunny and beautiful Easter. God bless all.
Happy Birthday Dennis. Hope you have many more.
TV Church today.
Baked ham, potato salad and asparagus. A couple of friends coming later for a meal.
Enjoy the day of celebration of resurrection.
Hippity-hoppity boys! Pretty day along the Allegany front range. Steaks on the grill today, and a small ham for youngest princess. I'll have to drive her back to college after supper.
v8vega - Oh, and don't be dancing on any tables with that balance issue...
HAPPY EASTER
ALL!
Good Evening,
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!
Things been quiet around here. Going to Chris' for BBQ tomorrow. Just got an engine back from Mike Reagan that he was repairing for me, he did a fantastic job! Its perfect! The only issue is the shipping cost, sure wish he wasn't so far away. But it's worth it to know someone you can trust.
Weather has been fantastic the past couple of days mid 70-s to low 80's.
Take care all and hope you all have a great Easter.

Good afternoon all,
Door works on the shed and all four sides are covered. Some flashing still needs to be installed. Good news is that I did not have to pay them today. More good news is that I got the stimulus money today. Bad news is no MR, CTT or TRAINS...yet. More bad news is there was a bogus charge on credit charge. Good news is credit card company will zero that out. Weather is warmer. Mailed state and federal tax returns today. Should get refund in a few months. Did a Tox-A-Way today and there was NO line at all. Got rid of a lot of stuff. Debating which Mass to go. Saturday night is SOOOOO long but getting up early for Sunday is not a good choice either. Not sure what to make of the day. I wish everyone a Happy Easter! I hope everyone has a good day.
Afternoon all!
Rough start to the day. Cloudy and cooler than predicted. OK with me! Should have some sun this afternoon.
Repaired a friend's Lionel year 2000 Big Boy. The chuff microswitch broke and I had three in stock. Lubed everything and made sure all screws were tight as I reassembled (I always find a bunch of loose internal screws when I take a loco apart).
Today is cleanup day for tomorrow's family Easter dinner. Son procured 2 tenderloins yesterday and he will slice them up, prep, and charcoal grill them.
47 and warming fast. Got a Humana home nurse on the way to do the yearly checkup. Part of their contract.Grandson's birthday [April 5] this afternoon. Will be 4. Grandparents from NY are here.
One would think after all these years, I would not be astounded by the incompetency of bureaucrats. A recent memo was sent late on Thursday (before a 3 day weekend) detailing some major policy changes. The idiot sending "apologized" for it being so late in the day and week, but anyone with a lick of sense knows he just did not a d--- about anybody. The really sad part is he may actually think anyone will believe he is sincere. Ugh. Guys are supposed to finish the shed Saturday. I have my doubts. Still no CTT, MR or Trains. You have to wonder. Question for anyone... why do they call it March Madness when it ends in April?....asking for a friend. I hope everyone has a good day.
Tried to watch the O's vs BoSox, only to learn that Dish dropped MASN. Boooooo
Afternoon folks!
Sunny and cool breezes today. Continued warming for the weekend. First Easter weekend in years where weather will not be terrible. All the immediate family has been vacinated at least once so we are hosting Easter 'brunch'. Filets will be charcoal grilled by son! BIL has been moved to a new facility and even though vacinated, they said if he leaves he cannot come back - but we can visit???? So he will not be able to attend - which I think would have been good for him. The daughters now have med power of attourney and when the current facility releases him he will be moved to a group home near us and the oldest daughter. We will be able to visit him there and will also be able to take his dog - which we will be keeping unless he is ever able to live independently again?
Happy Easter all!
