Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is a cloudy 60 degrees. Going up to 84, today, with a chance of a thunderstorm later.
Today, I will be working around the house on a few small chores. I was going to mow the front yard, but rain may delay that. Grass is still not growing fast. Later today, I might work on layout scenery. Bridge looks good. Really stands out.
Dining car is here early. Don't know if it's been to " Points West " yet. It is time for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Tuesday.

Uh - Zeke, did you say you have a brain tumor? Man, hope they get that fixed asap!
sounds like you had a busy dad day.....i remeber those...
yes i have a tumor about the size of a peanut sitting on my putuitary gland, was found 6 months ago, thats what is causing my blackouts i found out, not my deflibulator....ya i am in rough shape right now.. i go in around july 9th to get it removed...if i ever seem to not make sense thats why it affects my thinking and common sense....but the va docs tell me i will be fine, they are going threw my nose to remove it. im not worried. heck if three bullets and two stab wounds didnt end my life then a stinking little tumor wont....
also i went an seen charles today hes doing good, i snuck him in some taco bell, he loves their chalupas, his wife gave me a huge hug and told me thank you for everything id done, she said if it werent for me he would not have seen his kids this weekend,he hasnt seen them in a very long time, she said to have them on fathers day meant the world to him.I told her I felt compelled to do it. If i survive 85 ys i want my family to see me after i take a fall. thats what family does. Maybe since i no longer have any family alive i am more compassionate, i dont know. But that man loves them kids and they should have come. Not even a question in my mind about that. He told me today that when he gets better that hed like my help to move some train stuff upstairs, he wants to run his stuff before he dies. I told him id be honored to help.
see to me thats what life is about, helping one another, going above and beyond. Last night for example: i was driving back from the store and there was a car on the side of the road with their hood up, its after midnight, dark and so i stop, i almost always do. Their was this woman 40's with a flat tire. I changed her tire for her. Shed been thier 45 minutes and nobody stopped, in a bad part of town too. Why wont ppl stop? It took me 20 minutes maybe to change her tire. This bothers me, makes me wonder if anyone will stop for me when im older and cant do these things. Sorry to babble.
i hope everyone is doing well tonight. I will catch you night owls around i have progress to make in my train room
Attention Everyone !! This is a Roseyville Rascal Alert !! I have confidential info & more leads coming in all the time that he's in the New England area !!
Batton down the hatches & sound the alarm !! Armed, with gritts drying, & dangerous !!
Hello Chief !! Can you please pass the popcorn now ? !!
Thanks, John
Evening all!
Stayed dry this afternoon here. Flooding is bad in a small part of NE Ft Worth (Haltom City) and along the Red River (About an hour north of here) in Gainesville and Sherman. My wife's mother had retired to Sherman, but she passed on about 10 years ago. We used to go there all the time to visit. My wife used to live in Gainesville many years ago before we met.
Chief is holed up to watch the Dateline special on Princess Dianna's sons. Ssssh - Chief - good news on the infiltration! Make sure you keep the GRITS dry until the last minute!
Zeke - I am happy to see that your support for your new friend has gone well.
Doug - Alert! 16 yr old drama levels have gone to sustained fission levels. Stand clear in case it spreads north!
Regards, Roy

Sneaked into Jim's favorite Train store. Found out why. A real cuttie with big ^~*#. Got it all planned and how to raid and hit the airways and be over the enemy lines. Just got back from a REB friend's home in Yankeeland. Had a good visit. Got some great behaving kids.
Well everything is fine in Roseyville. Time for popcorn and bed. Have a good one.

Well, day 2 without the wife. Nothing much going on. Oh, yeah, until the babysitter called and said my boy broke his tooth in half and it woudn't stop bleeding! I raced back to civilization from the city and the bleeding had stopped. I checked and decided it was one of his last babyteeth ready to come out, so we braced ourselves, screwed our courage to the sticking place, and yanked that sucker out! Yeah - uh, what's that in the mouth? More tooth?!!!! Rushed call to dentist, wife for insurance info, wife again for directions, wife again for more directions, and we got there 1/2 hour early. Dentist looks in, pokes it, and tells us it's the adult tooth coming out already - it was wearing the baby tooth like a little crown?!
WHEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHWWWWWW - it's MILLER TIME! Of course, alone with the kids, this turned into a trip to Taco Bell, but it's the thought that counts, right! This is what pays for Fathers' Day, y'know?!
Luckily, they didnt charge us for the 2 minute examination.
Got my plasticville library addition email, so it's installed and works great. TTFN
Chief, keep your head down and your powder dry! Come back with your shield or on it!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

We are now going to hear all his stories about his trip to the BIG CITY for the next two thousand posts.

Yes, and then we will hear how he got the " Big Seats ", which he needs, for another hundred posts. And how he forced some dumb Yankee ( no offense, Jim )...to eat Grits. LOL

Evening all
Hot and dry in Southern Ohio. 97 out back, and humidity. Broke down and set the A/C to come on. Inside still at 78 so after being outside it's feels good. Had a great Father's Day. Kids and grandkids came up. Grilled out and ran trains and looked at back issues of CTT. At 4 1/2 the twins are hooked on trains
Get to build the garage addition for a Father's Day present. Get to park the truck inside!!!!
After this week and finals I want to start. Classes don't restart till September. Trying to decide wether to rent a backhoe and prepare the ground myself or hire it out. Need estimates for the decision. The concrete and building I'll do.
Well back to the studies and final papers
May God bless

Hi, all! Busy over the weekend so I didn't do any posting. A belated "Happy Father's Day" to all the dads on the forum.
Hot and sunny today and still very dry. We have a 60% chance of rain tomorrow, the best chance in a long time, so we're praying hard that we see some accumulation.
Dennis, I heard about your pastor and his probably being the next SBC president. He's got an excellent reputation - I'm sure he would do a great job.
Have a good day, all!

Chief, watch out for infiltrators on this pot. Good luck and I hope to see some of your purchases posted.
Roy, I do hope things are well for you and the family. I got a message from my friend at Ft. Hood. They had a tornado go over their house, but touched down a block over and take out several houses. The streets are flooded, but they are OK for now.
I have had several ideas floating through my idle mind lately when it comes to scenery. While the track layout will remain the same, I am thinking of extending a mountain to allow for more in the way of structures. We shall see. My bride is taking the kids down to the coast next week, so I plan to get alot done so the Chief can't put me down.

Chief, you could walk to a great train store from where you are staying. Treasured Toys is right down the street from you!
SHH!!! Behind enemy lines. Don't want them to know I'm here. Remember the Great Train Robery with the General. Well, I'm going to steal one of theri trains and take it back South.
Hot day in Roseyville. Mid to high 90's and need rain. Roy, hope you are not swiming. Saw that big rain near and above you. Better get things going here in Roseyville. [snicker] Later
Good afternoon all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 90s, but maybe some rain on the way. This is real quick, but Lucas and his girlfriend broke up this weekend. Her mom kept putting more and more restrictions on the relationship to the point where it was not worth the hassle any more. It is a shame it had to end that way, but there is no easy way out of those situations. I will catch up later on the postings. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiaan
Just checking in. Hope everyone has had agreat Father's Day and that plenty of train related items have found their way to layouts across the nation. I got some cologn and boxers, I guess she took me litterally when I told her the Jersey Central H16-33 was my Father's day gift. Oh well. It was still very nice.
Dr. John, heard my pastor was going to be the president of the S.B.C. next year. You may run into him during his tenior.
Well, I have to catch up on work. Hope everyone has a great day. Chief, it sounds like you enjoy the voyages up to yankeeland a little too much lately. Just kidding, hey, go where the trains are!
For those interested, Trains and Locomotives on RFD-TV is on Western Maryland with steam to diesel.
Good morning all!
Another rainy day here today. They say it is gonning to end about Wed and maybe we return to lingering high pressure domes that keep all the moisture away for the summer. Maybe 85 today?
Busy week this week. Lot's o' meetings.
Glad to see Lisa chencked in and that all is relatively OK.
Hope all have a great week!

Good morning from New England!
I've been having some trouble accessing the forum today. Some times it works, sometimes not.
I hope everyone had a nice Father's Day. I had an awesome weekend.
A special visitor is on his way to New England as I type. The Chief is coming up here on his own, not for work, to spend tomorrow with me. He's in New York right now waiting to board a flight to New Hampshire. Tonight I am going to touch up his 736 Berk and tomorrow it's off to the train stores!

It is a clear, sunny 66 degrees. Going up to a sunny 94 today. It's gonna be hot. Hope there is a breeze. We got some heavy thunderstorms last evening. Lots of needed rain.
Today, is a typical Monday. I have some chores to do around the house. And later, I have to run to a few local stores. I will be busy. Later, this week, I will put the bridge back onto the layout. Take a few pictures. It should look good.
Dining car has rolled in. Time for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Monday.
