Good Morning/Afternoon
Mike - Great news on the grandson! Congradulations!
Dr. John - Best wishes for you and your wife tomorrow!
Oh, yeah since the Suthners are building up their forces, came across another guy:

Gas is easily found at under $3.00 here as well. $2.84 or sometimes better.
Laz, thanks.
Mike, Congratulations.
Hope everyone has a great day. If all goes well, I plan to make Wed. Church.
Had a county commission meeting last night. I am trying to get a stop sign on the road as folks do 90 in a 35. May have to drop a few speed bumps one late night
After I had said my piece, they had a discussion about a FD/ems merger. I had to chime in, at first they were not going to let me, but I had my way. Shame when folks won't open discussion when they don't know the background of people in the audience. Turns out, I have lots of experience in exactly what they were trying to get answers for. We shall see.
Anyway, hope to catch y'all eating grits later.

Morning, all! Pleasant this a.m. - cool and breezy, but we'll be back in the 90's this afternoon. We missed a good chance for rain yesterday. Lots of clouds, thunder and lightning, but not a drop locally. Montgomery got some rain and hail too.
Oldest daughter flew in last night from a trip to Florida. Plane was delayed in Atlanta due to weather there. When she arrived, found out that NO ONE'S luggage was on the plane! They put all of the flight's luggage on the wrong plane in Atlanta! They're supposed to get it in sometime today and deliver it to the house. Ah, the joys of air travel.
Gas prices are down here (a little) also. Bought regular for $2.89 yesterday. Saw a station with $2.84 gas.
We head to Birmigham tonight after church for wife's heart procedure in the morning at UAB. Good Lord willing, we may come home tomorrow afternoon or Friday a.m. at the latest. She's in good spirits and looking forward to getting this done.
Dennis - very sorry to hear of the passing of your friend.
Fellow REBS - Butter for my grits, sugar for my tea!
Jim F. - My wife also likes boiled peanuts. I love the roasted ones but can't stand the boiled ones.
John B. - Agreed, it is nigh impossible to make decent tea with cold water. We use hot water to make the tea, then add ice!
Mitch - We've also had a rash of copper thefts locally, both in schools and some churches.
Mike C. - Congrats on the new grandson!
Laz - Glad to hear your bride had a nice birthday!
Chief - When you get down to Prattville I'll have to take you to one of the local BBQ joints. We've got some really good places here! Maybe we can twist Dennis' arm and any of the other Georgia boys to come over and meet us.
Have a good day, all!
Good morning from a sunny and mild Chicago where I took the 'water taxi' down the river from the train station to a new stop again today. It sure is fun - but then I'm easily amused. Today my youngest turns 5 - maybe I'll take him to the Railroad Museum in Union tomorrow. Beats working. There's some very good pork BBQ places on the south side of Chicago. . .
Congratulations, Mike, on Abram's arrival. Nice name.

Chief, Have fun at the pork-a-thon with your sister in law!

Good morning everyone,
Tomorrow is my last day, and I am really happy.
Mike C, congrats. Did you watch the F1 race Sunday? How about that wreck!
Chief we had plenty of rain here yesterday, even some hail. If I could, I would give it to you guys.
Chuck that seems like a nice color. I also like Candy Apple Red.
Fife congrats too.
Well, it seems that a Soprano's movie is unlikely. What a suprise there. I am going to powerwash the side of the house today, so I guess I'll be productive today. Also, I have to pack for Florida today. Leaving Saturday.
Hi GIZ,
Got about a half inch of much needed rain last nite, good for yarden.
laz CAMP good today a little slow but got er done.
My wife PAM had a great BDAY. had to treat her last nite,beer and crabs and ice cream cake.

Congrats to Alexis! LOL! Funny... I'm getting worried about the Bimmer... still no word from the mechanic... the longer it takes him to call usually means the larger the bill!
Grayson - some of us Yanks have been served real Southern GRITS, but that is another story...
laz57 - Did SWMBO have a good birthday? Any pile-ups...?
mitchelr - Perhaps the school system could approach the local P.D. for some Secondary Security. Too many goodies laying around until everything is up and running...
Y'all have a good day now. CHIEF, good luck with the rain.
Good morning all,
This is real quick because I have to get to a meeting, but I have a new grandson. Abram Michael Cleary was born at 6:29 AM and is seven pounds, 12. ounces and 21.5 inches long. Mother and son are doing fine.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good Morning from Blueberryhill....
It is another beautiful day in S.E. Ohio. 60 degrees. Going up to 85, today with sunshine.
Today, I will make the weekly trip to Cambridge for groceries. And, I will buy the paint for the steel bridge. Still want to go with a dark blue color. I wonder how Metalflake, metallic, candy apple blue would look. Hmmm.....That sound like a car color. 50's style. Anyway, then the painting process will start. I need some train time. Maybe later.
Here comes the Dining car. It is time for breakfast. Later.
Y'all have a great Wednesday.
Chuck

They are on the way!Zeke - I'll be sending you an email... the saga gets stranger...Grits? I thought we've beaten this dead horse already? Why would anyone want to eat something that you have to add flavoring to to make it edible? Just doesn't make sense. Grits are like sandy Tofu...1 DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I painted some more Ballast last night. Sometimes it goes fast, other times I don't get much done.

Zeke,
Get a second cup , it's on me. We are installing motion detector cameras at the gate and around the building. It's sad, but a fact of life.
Enjoy your day.

Morning All,
Fresh pot is on, nice and strong. I take my java plain, none of the girley stuff like cream or sugar. Today we have an early dismissal, so kids leave at 1:15.
Went to a construction meeting on my new school building yesterday. Some stupid criminal/hoodlum types broke in over the weekend and were ripping out 2 inch copper pipe from the walls. I guess they were trying to steal it to sell it for scrap. (Scrap copper is bringing $3.00 a pound) They had no tools and were just grabbing pipes and bending them until they broke. Did about $5K worth of damage. Left the pile of pieces in the floor. They must have run off before they could load it up. Stupid fools should get a job. They are begging for laborers and workers everywhere around here.
I'll post a construction pic of the school when I get a chance.
Have a great day.
Zeke, We use Gentian Violet for crabs, clears them off in a couple of days.
Grayson, Welcome. The pot has a small dedicated following this side of the pond, only difference is we like it hot (tea as it was intended to be. it's impossible to brew it with cold water), as for grits, the word says it all, like chewing a door mat. Yeeuukkk!!!
A good sense of humour is a handy tool and you will find plenty of use for it here.
John Baker
Welcome Grayson, (The southern guys need all the help they can get)
Been busy today, talked with John and Keith today. Nice to talk to friends regarding trains. Poor Keith been trying to call and didn't have the right phone number, so got that all straight. The 1688 he is having done for me sure sounds good. Will get some pictures of it up when I get it.
Got about 1/3 of the framing done for my benchwork. Then went to Home Depot and got a couple of sheets of plywood. sure makes it easier to have them cut the pieces right there! Normally I prefer Lowes, but HD was closer and I was concerned about time. Brought the pieces home and they all fit perfectally. All that needs to be done is nail 'em down.
Probably won't get the next section done for 2 weeks, Graduation partys coming up. So will just get things straightened out for the party, and maybe do some minor scenery.
Did have a couple of issues, having to double check everything. (Can you believe with all the planning I have done, I've lost 3", which is critical!) Didn't allow for the thickness of the mini-blinds! Then realized that the portable work table that I built will end up "land locked" if I'm not real careful. SURE WILL BE GLAD WHEN I'VE GOT THE TRACK ALL DOWN, KNOWING IT ALL FITS.
Will put up some pictures when I've got something worth showing. Right now just a few boards screwed together.
Doug - How are you doing on the G scale track?
Hope you all have a great day.

nope havent seen anyof them, wasnt a tv watcher when i was young or old i guess, except for the dukes of hazzard, i never missed them
jim f- the train club is not really a club there are three other members and all they want to do is get drunk and talk bad about their wives, not much fun thier, did it twice, once cuz i didnt know the second just to give them another shot. Looks like i will be riding the rails solo around here. unless i go over to charles house but hes 85 doesnt move to well and i would love to run trains but i can see he is in pain when he walks. Dont want to have fun at his expense.
took the beagle and went to the lake, threw his butt in, swimms pretty good, had a heck of a time getting him out of the water, cant blame him it was 102 today...
well im out to the train room, its only 80 out right now......
Okay, how about Deep Fried Corn on the Cob? Dennis will probably kill her, but my wife LOVES that! BTW - She lived in Atlanta GA for several years and found that the one thing she really hated was boiled peanuts.
Grayson, you better lay off that anti-Splenda talk! Chief will set you straight. He told me my learning was just beginning, but I guess I'm pretty slow.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
