RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Thank you Brent for the Mother's Day wish, and to everyone else for their wishes! Unfortunately, the hubby and I have to work (enforcing the law is a 24/7 job-believe it or not, Mother's Day and some of the other holidays are the busiest. Everyone starts "celebrating" and by the end of the day, they're all fighting. Keeps things exciting for us!) and the kids get to stay with their aunt. I do hope that everyone has a great day and big hugs to all of the other Mother's on the board!

Good Morning and Happy Mother's Day from Blueberryhill....
It is a cool 45 degrees with sunshine. Going up to 75 today with sun all day.
Today, I am taking it easy. Worked hard yesterday on the car and yard. I might take an hour and mow the back yard, later, but that's it. Never made it down to the train room, yesterday. I will take some time for that today. Need to relax and run trains. This is the time of the year, that I wish I had an outdoor Garden Railroad to run. That would be fun.
Dining Car has arrived and is ready for boarding. I guess " Points West " is sleeping late today.
Y'all have a great Sunday.
Chuck
Good Morning All from NE Ohio

It looks like a great day to make the MOM's happy!

Chief,
Spent about £20.00/$40.00 on a Wahl home haircut kit about 20yrs ago, a No1 dos fine when you get to my age, saved a bomb too, a haircut here costs about £8.00/$16.00.
Guys, you sure been been busy on the pot this weekend.
Have a good one. Especially you Zeke, Liza.
John Baker
hey thanks don..
them cars were inherited..although i put a lil wrench time on both....but very happy that they are in my possesion now..
my self i drive this everyday usaully...
and the only reason i do that is because it was free... i answered a craigslist ad here locally and all it needed was a clutch line..runs like a top..i normally drive a truck i have a 68 ford been driving since 95...grandpa gave it to me and he bought it new off the line...its not show room condition anymore but been good truck 350,000 on it original..
been working on cleaning some 027 track ..but dang its rough..about a hr each piece..is it really worth it....in the long run it will be....atleast thats what i keep telling myself...hope your all having or had a good evening...
Wow ! Been a busy day on the pot.
Zeke - I too applaud you for what you have been through. And those cars you have! Fantastic, I can see why you would have a hard time deciding which one to take out. I have a '87 El Camino, just finished painting it and adding a body kit. However, I am loosing control of it to my son. Oh well, I've had a good time with it, bought it new, and it has 220,000 miles.
Been busy today worked outside getting things ready for a big Shindig here tomorrow. Will undoubtedly be running trains. I took some pictures of the train room since its clean and will post in SPF tomorrow.
Got to go pick up wife, she's working at the LB Play House tonight.
Have a great Mothers Day, and BE NICE !!!
Don
well i am heading out to the garage to clean some track...i am determined to get this stuff in running condition...wish me luck!
cuz i'll need it!
and heres a pic of the mustang..i beleive its the right one...we had three at one time...
i will have to get new ones of the 2 cars this weekend mabye...
HI GIZ,
Went trout fishin this after and got skunked. Bro got three, I had three on and lost em. First time this year for the el skunko. Planted beans before fishin.
Oh well had fire ate dogs and burgers and had a few cold ones, all is well with the world.
Rockon,
Howdy folks, finally got a chance to get online and check things out. Zeke, very sorry for your losses and ordeals, but I really appreciate your outlook on life and hope things go great for you this year. PS - love the General Lee action shot (?). My wife esp wants to see a pic of your convertible.
I took pics of my new train stuff for tomorrow, but they won't show on my website, so I guess I did something wrong. Worked 4 hours OT this morning, then mowed the lawn and hopefully murdered some varmint cong with some stuff I bought at Home Depot. I nearly fell prey to a sapper, who ran a tunnel up my hill to a very steep place and then probably laughed it's little head off as I slipped in the mud/hole and rolled down the hill. I remember thinking "LET GO OF THE MOWER". Still here and have all my fingers and toes, so I guess I did! Then went to Qudoba for dinner, which was only so-so. I prefer a local place for Mexican food, La Pachaga, which is cheap and plenty of good food. Got my caboose and cows for the layout yesterday, don't think I posted that. I'm designing a new layout which will be more square, maybe 4.5 by 6.5, versus my current 8 by 3.333 ft layout. Want to leave room for action accessories, but be able to run 2 trains at the same time. I think the outer loop will be O27 42 inch diameter curves...
Doug Murphy, are you going to get the superstreets set with the Trolley? Watched another Harold Loyd movie the other day, Safety Last, and there was a lot of trolley action in the street scenes, plus a funny bit where he gets on the wrong trolley. I tivoed it I think it was on AMC?
NO rain today and supposed to be dry tomorrow as well. Have to get up early and get my wife her favorite donuts from Harters, a neat little bakery (was a small brick house, restored) just up the street from me.
Oh, My 4-4-2 is a lot faster than I expected, even on my tight turns. So fast, it jumped the track and landed nose first in the carpet. No damage and still runs great - had me scared for a second there!
actually he did install seat belts..havent used them yet but i will i think...safety first...and no it wont ever leave me...it means to much to ever sell...
i like a nice restored corvair...cute lil cars...
job huh....well i have had a lot happen and i only mentioned a few items to you all...i am actually starting a book about my life in the army and things i endured and the things i seen along with the losses i have suffered...i am about 1/4 of the way done.. i feel even if nobody buys it, that its important for me to get off my chest
but many good times are ahead for me...and i am ready for the ride....
