A good morning to all. No big news except the NMRA train show in Detroit at the end of this month. I looked at the dealer list and its mostly mfg's booths, going anyway. Three reps from MTH are suppose to be at a local train store on the 27th but I do not plan to go there as I might open my big mouth about there poor quality control. I like the looks of their engines but..enough said. Did anyone notice that BP shut down a refinery for maint. in the middle of the vacation season driving up gas prices, and no explanation given as to why they did it now.Our goverment is telling us to just bend over and drop em.

First of all there are too many Johns. I keep thinking people are referring to me.
I have no big plans for today except for a little track work, though my daughter does want to work on some of the layout landscaping.
The rain yesterday was great and today is starting off great. it is cool and will only get up to 75. I do have one large job to get done the peas are ready to be picked. I love fresh peas and I planted over 5 pounds of them. The wife reminded me to start picking the apples for applesauce too. I guess I will surprise her and dig up some young, small potatoes too.
Have a great day - john.

Well, been a busy morning, but not for work, that I do later with a heart this evening. Had a Dr's. appt this morning. Scheduled for sleep study, Stress test, X-rays of head and neck, and bloodwork. I think if I was a horse they would shoot me. Won't get into it for fear of looking like someone else. Anyway, wife and kids went to FIL's house. I am on call, so I hope to get home in time to take on some layout work.
Hope y'all have a good day,Dennis

Here is a real serious one: Got this email a few minutes ago.

Prayers for Doug.
Wow Dennis, you Dr's pick on each other. Good luck with the tests.

Found an interesting post. The madness never ends.
What a cool day in the afternoon, I love it. Chief that is why I have children - to shell the peas.
I don't know Doug but I wish hime well.
let the 'situation' go fellas... the CTT mods are taking care of it and I suspect they would rather see this drama end here.
I know something odd is going on.
Can someone enlighten me? I'm away untill Monday in Blackpool, a place noted for fresh air and fun, or as in the last six weeks RAIN!!
John Baker
Doug Murphy....hope you have a quick recovery. Prayers going out for you.
Dennis....Good luck.

Torpedo,
A push bike is stolen every five seconds in UK, and I'm fed up! I wish the thief would take someone elses and leave mine alone.
"live free or Dy harder". Great action flick and Bruce did say "YIPPEE KIYAA @#$%^& @!#$%$ ! at the end of the movie.
Laz - I saw that movie last night too! I thought it was very good, lots of action and good comedy. I liked the beggining of the movie; the first scene with Bruce and his daughter. He's on the phone and they say "What are you doing at Rutgers?!" Was cool they mentioned my school in a movie!
I have an damaged aluminum wheel and some other things I have been meaning to recycle and see what I could get. Your post may have just swayed me. wow @ $40 for stuff taking up space.Chuck - Do you have a blueberry farm? My Father is trying to get into Blueberrys.
lionel2986.....No, I do not have a blueberry farm. Wish I did. I am just a fan of " Fats Domino ".

Jim, well, a thanks I guess. Anyway, it is all just a part of getting old. Stem the tide of the downward slope. I have been getting headaches and hopefully we can end them. I do wish Doug good luck and healing.
Blueberry, I saw Fats about 15-16 years ago down in Florida. They have a thing called "Sun Fest" in the Palm beach area. He was a lot of fun, great entertainer.
Picked up a car and dropped off my truck for servicing and I hear this loud horn/whistle. It was an older NS engine going down the road on a section of track that is right in the middle of the road. It was kinda neat, but the traffic was heavy and I am sure it ticked a lot of others off. The train was moving slow, so it was a nice show for me. I will have to snap some photos some time as it is getting rare for the road/rail traffic these days.
God bless,
dennis

Sir James I: I have clearance to go. Probably Saturday. Interest in getting together? Most here won't venture this far north. I think it's something about not letting grits past the Mason-Dixon line. How did Jimbo put it??? Booga Booga.
Well test results are in. My Betrothed has gall stones. Recommended we set-up a meeting with a surgeon. Prayers appreciated.
Kurt
hi john, that poll is one you can vote from the web, so could have Mich. votes in it..however it was quite overwhelming. But Det.sport fans will stick to the end, even go down with the ship.the tigers have a record for messing up in the second half.don't give up.of course you won't.
Kurt, I need to check with my train buddy to see when we are going but will let you know if it is sat.maybe we can find a time to meet.
Well, cooler but no rain. Some on the way later this week and early next week. Did a half of a days meetings for the Town. New animal control taskforce, met with Wake Co School. No kids have to walk out of their sub-divisions to meet a bus on the main streets as before. Buses will go into sub-divisions and pickup. Also got new middle school and probably new highs school. Maybe I should withdraw and let someone else run for Mayor. Then I would have train time.
Got to eat. Have not had time.
CHIEF,
I'll vote for you. Send me a ballot.(try not to spill grits on it though)

I am thinking of filing to run for Roseyville Mayour. They have told me that they are in desperate need of a candidate.

Me too !!!! He's better than "nothing".
Evening all
Doug-I hope someone reads all the well wishes and prayers going out to you for a complete recovery.
Kurt-Prayers for you wife also
Buckeye-if you win the election, would you have to move or claim dual citizenship?
Great evening out. Moved a lot of dirt for the garage addition. If the backhoe guy doesn't show up soon I may not need him.
Dennis-I did not catch your prayer request but I'll remember your intention
Going to shower then run trains

Jim
