BUCKEYE, better get your camo gear ready if your going to ALABAMA. Also cut off those sleeves on all your shirts, don't need em down there. Glad to help you on the tressle stuff.
Hope all have a good day?
Alabama here I come!!!
Yes, folks Buckeye is heading south this fall for his nephew's wedding in Alabama. Bought tickets on Southwest yesterday. I am getting my shots next week and my psychological evaluation the following week. BTW, it was round trip tickets.
Tomorrow, the dentist. Normal cleaning, I hope.
Good friend is currently on business in China. Amazing how we can get email from the other side of the world in the blink of an eye. I sent him a photo of his dog and told him that the dog was the only one that was missing him.
Need to spruce up the Garden RR. Laz, thank you for all your help answering my email questions about lumber, brads, glue,etc. Now I know why shop was my favorite class.
It rained!! Great rain last night.
See ya down the tracks,

Good morning, Y'all!
Hope everyone is doing well. Had one case but it was cancelled, so now I have some free time. Have a dentist appt. today and afterwards, have to get some shopping done for the trip to NJ. I think I am getting back into NJ mode: find myself starting to go faster in the car, flip other drivers off, tailgating (down south, we call it drafting), and just getting a Type A personallity. OK, Just kidding. I am looking forward to the trip. Have some family and friends to meet up with. May try to check out some train stores. God Bless,

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cloudy 70 degrees. May get some sunshine, this morning. Going up to 83, today with a chance of some more rain this afternoon. Had about an hour's worth, yesterday evening.
Today, I have some chores to do around the house. Then, run an errand in town, locally. I plan on running trains later. Trying to put together a plan for the snow covered mountain. No new train items until October train show. Looking forward to that.
Dining Car is here from " points west ". Time for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Wednesday.
Chuck
Good morning all,
It is cloudy and rainy in SE Indiana with temps in the 80s. I took it easy last night and watched a tape of the Sunday IRL race. Chief, we will send some rain your way. Doug, good to see you back on the pot. Last regular season soccer game is tonight. Part of me wants to play, but if we are "stormed" out, we automatically win the regular season title. Just the usual fare on the dining car for "Points East" this morning. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Evenin' to some Mornin' to most.
Glad to see Murph is back to the forum, go easy on those eyes and like was said invest in some eye protection when workin' on those trolleys( as well as out in the sun).
Making some real good progress on the Garden RR. Got all the rail clamps installed and the tracks wired. After doing all the looking around for different types of connectors I changed my plans on the wiring. I picked up a sprinkler timer box, weather proof, so I can install the track power on/off switches in it and the DC power pack will be taken in when not in use. Hopefully today I can get the ballasting down and the glue applied, that would give me a day of dry time so I can finish up the piers thursday.
I need to get this thing done, all the "O" projects are starting to back up pretty heavy.
John, Watch out for those M&M's, you know what they say about the Green Ones.

Glad to see Doug posting & hope the eyes will be ok !! Trolleys need dusting !!
Oh, my wife said my new CTT came today !! Going up to check on it now !!
Good night all !!
Thanks, John & TTFN !!
Chuck : I don't know if the powdercoating is the way to go or not ! May shoot for electrostatic spraying instead !!

Hasn't anyone taught you not to stand under oak trees when there's lightning?I wish it was lightning here. Thunderstorms are my favorite. So are snow storms :)I have 1 tomatoes turning yellow and already harvested a couple cucumbers here in Northern New Jersey. I guess there's a reason its called the garden state ;)

Evening all. Ligthning and rain but still dry under the oak tree.

Evening all. Ligthning and rain but still dry under the oak tree. Wife just called from downtown Raleigh. She has been at a play. Lights went out, rained hard and the Roseyville "Rock" is still dry. Will not rain good on the "Rock".
Lee, yes it seems good to have some peace and quite [Jim A is on family vacation with his family and all his inlaws]. He is not having peace and quite.
Lisa, glad you got rain. I usually [but not this year] have to take the shovel and set corn back up [shoveling dirt to it]. Didn't do that one year. Corn will straighten up to the sun. Had crooked stalks in the middles so you could not walk.
Tomatoes are coming off real good but most are still small. Lots of green big ones.
Popcorn time.
PS: forgot. RT called and left word from Tenn. He actually found a place to live and bought it. On the way back to get another load. Sounded real up beat. Said, "Hi to all."
I think girls from the South are gorgeous.
I hate grits.
EVENING ALL,
Sorry if I overdid the tomato thing,actually they are not that late it's just the waiting.I had an uneventful day watched the big glob of rain coming across the state on the weather ch. only to see it fall apart before it got here.again some did, we did not.I'm thinking about using a Williams power upgrade for a dummy texas special but can't make up my mind,If I do I would want a horn also. Haven't decided yet.
Doug, hope your doing better. My wife and I are being watched for that same problem,but so far we are still OK.
Well Chief it's going to be warm here tomorrow think I might BBQ something on the grill. any suggestions. Remember this is a family show.
Hello All! Doug M- Glad your eye is better & that you're back! HMMM! all this talk of BBQ. Perhaps this thread should be renamed: " The BBQ is over three years old,Here we gather as Friends with Grits"(trains) Take Care all.

Can't figure out how to post a pic from google map, but here's a link to the train yard in front of our building. You can zoom in and see some rail traffic, but often there is a lot more out there. I've seen some really long coal trains, too.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Doug Murphy! Glad to read you are doing better and get the weather report. Daytime tv is bad even with cable channels. You need a TIVO! Hope your wife and kids spoiled you rotten! Get those trolleys running, man!
Got to see a loooong train of tank cars at the downtown St. Louis yard across from our building - plus some bright orange boxcars (hmmm?) and, oh yeah, BNSF, Amtrak and CSX locos/trains.
For porksteaks, I like to cut slices in the steak and stuff with garlic, coat in olive oil, and marinate overnight in Coca Cola - very tender and juicy!

Anyway, make sure we have a reicpe for sweet tea, fried chicken, and cornbread, ok? The grits thing was a joke anyway, I love grits, espicially for breakfast, along with bacon or sausage!

ANOTHER RECIPE FOR
BBQ Sauce
1/2 c. vinegar; 1 cup water; 4 tablespoons sugar; 2 tablespoons prepared mustard; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 1 tablespoon salt; 1 stick margarine
Mix all ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and add
4 tablespoons worchestershire sauce; 1 cup ketchup
This keeps well in the refrigerator. Add cocoa powder, ground cayenne pepper, Tobasco or what ever else you are so inclined.
CHIEF - Had 1 1/2" of rain here yesterday and 1/2" today. Maybe saved our garden - HOWEVER yesterday's storm blew all the sweet corn over
DENNIS - Thanks for the campaign help!
SIR JAMES - Understand your frustration over the tomatoes - we are finally getting some too!
DOUG - Glad to "see" you back - you were missed!
This is a really great place and so much fun!
