Aside from running the Spirit of '76 Lionel cars (With the President Washington pulling them!) I've got no plans for the Fourth at the moment. AND the Revolutionary War flag collection will be displayed on the Fortress Flintlock! We'll see what the weekend brings, aside from Winston the Attack Basset getting a bath!
He WON'T be happy!
Hot dogs? I like 'em with Gulden's brown mustard but that's as far as I go. Anyone besides me dislike that squeeze bottle they're putting it in now? I miss the jar!
Happy 4th weekend
Rain and humid today, 1 party was postponed until tomorrow and that ain't gonna fly. So, tomorrow we head to my in laws for pool/hot tub and BBQ. Have to cut the lawn at my Princess' prior to leaving.
Saw some fireworks from the comfort of the '70 road runner convert, topless, of course!! Picked up my Hemi Magnum (and they messed up the exhaust, but will look at it Tuesday). Will replace the belt tensioner between the rain drops and maybe head to PA for some boom boom stuff.
Nice job, Fife, but working in 90+F in the sun ain't a great idea (like I should talk....lol)
Be safe everyone - I hate doing fire calls during holidays, lol

Mornin' sleepyheads. 70 degrees and along the Patterson Creek cut-off, which meant FifeMax woke me up to hold his paws... So I'm drinking coffee and posting a new video.
Did get Clinchfield 1072 all decorated, and cleaned all the windows since I had the ladder out. First time anyone's been on the caboose roof in awhile. After 4 hours in the heat, Fifey was spent.
It was pretty darn hot today, but overall I think I'm adapting relatively well to being back home. In spite of the heat, I managed to get the mowing taken care of for the first time since before we went on vacation.Just got back from going to see fireworks with the 'fam, it was fun as usual. It was a little bit buggy, especially on the walk back to the car- otherwise a pleasant ordeal Earlier this week I had idly looked into how much a 6519 Allis-Chalmers car was going for on eBay, since I'd never looked into how tough it was to get my hands on one, and it turned out they could be had cheaper than I thought. I dropped a bid on an auction that started at $5 and nobody else jumped. All in all, it was about $16 after shippin' and tax, not too bad for an online purchase of a single car. Should probably come some time tomorrow.-Ellie

Fourth of July weekend.
hopefully, my dad will be well enough to cook some burgers and hot dogs on the grill! (He had a Total Hip Replacement last month, so we'll see)
other than that, no plans.
(My grandfather was born on the 4th in 1935, he sparked the train interest for me. He had post war lionel trains, and one MPC set, The post war being I believe a Lionel Baby Hudson. I now have that and his trains. He passed away in 2018)
Fourth of July weekend. Looks like this year is going to be kind of quiet here.
Hope everybody has a good and safe weekend - especially if you are planning on setting off fireworks.
Blazing sun and 91. Cold front moves in, 66 and cloudy. Rain starts, hot and humid like Bangkok! Keep the toppings. I like my hot dogs naked!
Same me, different spelling!
Everyone please have a fun and safe 4th. Pray for our country and our way of life.
Wow Fife, so sorry about your pal, that was fast?
Went to the store for food today, first time in 4 months and a week. feeling better every day. Still miles away from where I was if I ever get back there who knows?
No holiday plans so the cost of gas don't matter.

Good Morning
I got several "housekeeping" issues handled for the county fireman's association, so I should be ok until the July meeting next Wednesday. yeah, right, lol
Was supposed to hit Asbury Park last night for the cruise but, we opted to go to the local cruise instead. It made the Mrs. much happier.
Heat an humidity have finally invaded Central Jersey, so the air is on.
Party tomorrow, my in laws on Sunday - after I cut the Princess' lawn - then Sunday picnic at the Princess'. Probably her last event in Jersey as she leaves for FLA USA in either October or November.
78F going to 90 something later.......
Here in Vermont we call them Michigan's for these footling monsters... but being in Michigan no one there calls them that.
Mornin' guys and gals. Sunny and hazy along the Alleghany front range. Will be headed up to the museum later on, and start decorating the chapter caboose for the 4th.
