Well I found a box in the mail today that came in from Illinois. Must be from CudaKen! In it I found a paper bag of turf, a plastic bag of clump foliage, a bag of flowering trees, a bag of deadfall that will look right at home under the pine trees if my nephew doesn't try to roll it and smoke it first, a box of eight nice looking conifer trees, a bottle of green blended turf, half a bottle of gray blend fine ballast and maybe a couple of other things.

Thank you Ken.

Good Evening fellow Diners!

I have been busy for a couple of days and see that there has been a lot happening here at the diner, like they say "when it rains it pours". I will be kepping you all in my thoughts and Prayers.

The bench work has been done for a couple of days now and I have cut up some sub-roadbed, but other than that I just keep looking at it and have yet to come up with a track plan I like. I am doing this old school, graph paper and pencil, I have tried to use that atlas free program and it just seems harder than it is worth.

Well it has been a long day and I need to relax, so Good Night All.

 Evening Folks.

 Flo, I will take a BLT, tender of Fries and a Beer Please.

 Work Front Looks like I might of made around $675.00 in commission this month and will have $40,000.00 in delivered sales. But this is a guess at this point, found out 10 minutes before closing there is a commission report I can run. Boy they have great training here. Whistling

 Lightning Storm Front Lightning Sue woke me up around midnight last night. We where having straight line winds between 65 and 85 MPH. This morning it looked like the neighbor hood had dodge the bullet. The houses around me and mine had some small limbs down and that looked like it. Lightning Wrong! As I was leaving for work I saw  what was left of a neighbors about 800 feet from mine. 3/4 quarters of it's roof was laying in the front yard. Hum, free lumber? Whistling Hope they are all OK.

Jeffery I was hoping you get the box today. With the trying times you are going through with your Mon, working on the layout make take your mind off of it for awhile. Is there any thing else you need? I can send more trees if you need them. Boy the dead fall does look like pot, does it not.

 If you can send the flat car, I could still use it.

 Ulrich I hope the best for you and your family. You are in my thoughts. If you ever make it to the states, you have a places to stay as long as I do.

 Galaxy Where is you! Big Smile Still need your help with this SSI Bull Stuff.

  See you all Tuesday Night!

Good morning,

Pouring down rain all night and will continue until it changes to 1-2” of snow this afternoon.  Adjuster is coming out Monday to inspect wind/ice damage to roof.  First contractor said around $2000 for repairs.  Insurance liked that number…  Might go to the Erie train show Sunday (weather permitting).

Robby, good to hear things have improved for you…

Ray outstanding back shop there!

I’m behind on posts…
