Yumm.

(Kidding... It;s not a breakfast meal.)

I believe the correct question is what are you doing up so early? Or for that matter, what am I doing up so early? I should find breakfast. I wonder what that is?

Ahhh................ a nice hot, humid morning here. Hi Jerry, what's up?

I think I will have a bowl of honey nut cheerios mixed with raisin bran crunch cerial and skim milk and a banana sliced on top, plus ED's OJ.

Anyone seen Jeff yet this morning?  Cape Jim, any TS's your way this morning?

ROB:, have the house plan changes yet from the neighbor/designer/draftsman?

MRR stuff: I found some nice info on the internet last night on the former Boston and Maine RR (B&M) . It listed the entire Diesel roster from the 1930's to 1980, the color schemes, the numbering, the dates purchased, retire dates, where some were transferred, etc. I also found a steam locomotive roster for the B&M. This is going to be a big help for my layout of parts of New England. I also found the Boston & Albany roster and the NYC roster ( NYC leased the B&A back in 1919, but the B&A pretty much kept their own identity in NE.) It was interesting to note that the B&M ran S5e  diesels, I didn't even know there was an S5 Confused [%-)]made by Alco. The B&M only had 1 S5.

Later guys,

Dick If you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got!! Learn from the mistakes of others, trust me........you can't live long enough to make all the mistakes yourself, I tried !!

Morning Zoe, I guess some of the crew are sleeping in today, except for Jerry. But that's not counting sleeping Rob in the corner booth here...Wink [;)]). I'll have a glass of Ed's OJ, glass of milk, and some waffles, please.

 

 

 

and you might just leave a pot of the coffee here. I'll prop up Rob on the one side, and refill his coffee IV drip...Whistling [:-^] Thanks for the breakfast, Gav!

At least you have a little help at times there, Gav. Good that the doggies are a little calmer this summer.

Rob, did you get some sleep last night? Zzz [zzz] Oh heck, I'll wait until he's awake before I ask him that. 

Garry, we're supposed to have a slight chance of a shower today, but more likely that it'll hold off until late tonight for us.

I'll be bookending Rob and eating my waffles if anyone else comes in, Zoe.

 

Blessings on your start of the weekend,

Jim in Cape Girardeau

Hello Jim CG .... I see what you mean on the Dopler Radar. Kinda wet there. Looks like its headed up the Ohio River Valley and Paducah will get it. Our forecast shows we may get some scattered rain through the week end.  Nashville's forecast says they might get some. They could use a lot of rain now becasue it's nearly a grought there now.

Evening, Chloe, I'll have a hot fudge sundae and a cup of decaf in a Santa Fe mug, please.

 

 

Thanks!

Hey, Ryan, not a problem (once in a while) to cover the TOP for you. But I don't want it cutting into my MRR'ing/LHS money, y'know...Wink [;)] 

PC, that was some batch of storms you had - glad your place survived. It does look like several of your neighbors will be rebuilding for months to come. Wow!! [wow]

We've been getting some heavy rains (with a few lightning bolts to go with them) tonight. I got the laptop unplugged for a while during the thick of it, just in case. Looks worse on the radar than it seems on the 'TowerCam' video on our local station. But anyhow, the worst of it is about moved through (around downtown for now, and will be across the river in Illinois (or maybe Kentucky - watch out, Garry, they're heading your way now!) by the time the 10:00 news comes on. South and West of us, they have a flash flood warning tonight. Luckily, I don't think the streams back there feed into the areas just south of Cape where they're concerned about flooding.

Tom, if you do go to get the antibiotic, it might not hurt to pick up another furnace filter, too. Luckily, since I have one of those wall A/C units for my apartment, I can wash mine out if it gets clogged up. But don't go out if you don't have to, until things calm down in your area. Hope you have a good supply of lemonade or ice water for you Mom once she starts reading those romance books. Blush [:I]

Rob, since I'm sure Garry didn't say anything about modifying those new house plans, I guess I can't second that idea, huh? Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]Whistling [:-^] Good that they got the trees cleared out for you and did some of the site prep. Also good that you have some more big trees to see from the house.Thumbs Up [tup]

Dick, I hear you about it being good to have clouds in the summer. A couple or three weeks ago, I was praying for some clouds for that very reason (to not have the afternoon pop-up storms).

So, Gav - are the sweet Angel [angel]Angel [angel] on a break for now (or just gone to a party)? T'would be nice to get a momentary respite of your own from riding herd on the critters, I'm sure! Cowboy [C):-)] [Yeehaw!]

I got the two plywood sheets for my addition out this evening, and started marking approximate locations for the turntable and the turnouts. Of course, we know that any plans are subject to revision once I get the benchwork done and the board in place...Whistling [:-^] I also got an email from our MRR club member/LHS owner, that my order is in and he'll bring it to the club meeting on Monday (He's heading out of town for the weekend). If it all came in, I was getting a couple of Woodland Scenics figures sets, and some Preiser ones also (including the Preiser 120 pc. RR personnel and travelers set, unpainted). Pretty much all of these sets of figures are passengers and pedestrians - got to have enough folks on the platform to justify those passenger trains and those Budd RDC units! Yeah!! [yeah] I'm glad most of the figures were on sale, too. I also got an email today, that my (direct) Walthers order has shipped out.

About news time, so I'd better get headed for home. Chloe, that was an excellent hot fudge sundae (as usual)!

 

Blessings and a good night's rest for all you Diners and yours,

Jim in Cape Girardeau

Cloudy and very humid all day today, but the good side of that was, with no sun, no heating of the atmosphere, therefore no thunderstorms, just 0.01" of mist.

TOM: I can't begin to imagine what you guys are going through out in CA, this has to be one of the driest early summer periods on record. I hope you get rain soon to clear the air and put out the fires.

PC: As Ryan said, I hope we see those photos on the Weather Channel. The ask all the time for people to email them in, why not, they are great photos Philip.

JEFF: The fence looks to me like it belong there all along, I vote to keep it.

ROB: When do you think you will be able to start building the new house? What style is going to be? Full basement ( Mrr layout, shhhhhhhhhhhhh ) ??

GAV: Don't party too much next week, ......on second note, what the heck, party hardy!

I just checked out Internet Model Trains, they have some great sale items this week.

Later,

Dick If you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got!! Learn from the mistakes of others, trust me........you can't live long enough to make all the mistakes yourself, I tried !!

Hello ...

WOW .. Phillip those storm photos are something.

Tom .... Take care of yourself and "Mom" in Smokey Valley. (Hey, that's the name of a mrr manufacturer.)... Those lungs are important. Take care of them

Rob .... as long as the house plans are being revised, don't forget to sneak even more square feet into the already nicely planned train room. (who said that? me? ... shhh don't tell) Whistling [:-^]

Everbody,  if you are interested I posted some photos with Burlington F3's in the 1950's.

Afternoon from SmokyCal. 

It's the worst yet, today, had to wear a face mask to even go to the store, and my chronic bronchitis is threatening to kick up BIG TIME.  I e-mailed my doctor, and I've got some Amoxycillin waiting for me tomorrow at the Kaiser pharmacy in Roseville just in case.  We're supposed to get a Low pressure system in here within the next couple of days, hopefully it will be strong enough to kick the smoke out of the Valley here, but unfortunately, it might also be strong enough to whip up the fires.  We've got 3 major big ones north of the Valley, one in the Coast range, the other north of us in Trinity county, and about six little ones up in the Feather River country that are threatening to merge into one BIG one.  Changed out the AC filters this morning--they were BLACK!  But at least the AC is doing its job and keeping it out of the house.  Wish I could say the same for the garage--I went out and tried to do a little work yesterday with the fan on, but all it did was blow the smoke around.  I'm sure getting tired of Red Sun.  Does anyone around the country remember what a blue sky is supposed to look like?

For that matter, does anyone remember what my BUTTES look like, LOL? 

Mom's here until either Monday or Tuesday, we're all getting Cabin Fever, but she's turning out to be a real trouper--just as long as she can watch her musicals on my big-screen TV, LOL!  Went out and got her a couple of books at the supermarket today--she likes those big, fat Historicals written by female Romance writers with titles such as LOVE'S SCARLET FURY--anyone ever READ one of those things?  Back when I was in college, they'd have been considered Pornography, LOL!  I mean--WHEW! Blush [:I]

Jeff:  I vote for the picket fence, too.  I like the look of it.  That's one really NICE park! 

Flash:  Prayers for your dad.  If it helps, I added him to our Parish prayer list.

Philip:  After seeing those devastating photos, I think I'll quit grousing about our smoke.  After all, it'll blow away eventually, probably within a day or so--it looks as if your repairs in that area will take MONTHS.  My sincere condolences.   

I see another round of storms for the Midwest on the weather channel today.  When is this all going to be OVER, for cryin' out loud? 

Best to all and prayers for those in need. 

Tom

Afternoon all.

It's a little chilly today, but still nice.

Jim: No more scenery as of right now. I need my backdrop to be able to do anything more. As for a job, I mow lawns. Brings decent profit, about $60 a month.

Nothing much is new besides that.

Stong cup of coffee in a SOUTHERN mug, please & thank you.

***Jeffrey, I like the white fence you set in there. That part of the park certainly benefits from having it there. That being said, if you decide to scratch build one, I'm sure it would be every bit as effective. Always enjoy seeing pics of your work.

***Philip, I love storm pics, especially as they are approaching. Some of those you posted are a little sad in the damage dept. though. Hate to see something like a historic bridge demolished.

Well, obviously the trees came down where they were suppose to. The largest of them came down with a thunderous crash, sending branches from smaller trees in it's path flying. Kinda cool actually. We have other big trees around the farm, so won't miss those removed. They finished the clean up and grading. Kinda strange looking up from the pasture and seeing an empty space where the house was.

After paying that builder (our neighbor) for the house drawing, we realized he made a mistake on the measurements. His mistake, so he is redrawing the plans. Sure not going to give him one more dime for his time on that, especially for something I could easily do in half a day myself.  

Oh Boy, or should I say, "Oh Bigboy"...it appears to be in transit.

I thought I'd provide you all with a glimpse of the storms that hit our area one, two, three, back on 5-30, 6-3, and 6-7 of this year.  Sorry the pics took a while to get up, but as you can see, it was a mess.  A lot of folks are still cleaning up.  These pics cover three different storms that all happened within a few days.  Anyways, here you go..................

Our church (and my family) has been busy assisting with cleanup and helping folks in need.  Some people lost virtually everything.  It's been a long few weeks for us, but it's been a lot longer for some of these other families.

Okay, Zoe, everybody's waiting for someone to come in and hit TOP, so it might as well be me, huh? Okay, Fajita bar's open, and it's on me, folks!

 

Time to chow down, Diners! Actually, Zoe, I think I'll have three for me, and a Dr. Pepper, please. No, on second thought, a RBF -

 

and better start making a few; once they hear I have the tab, I expect everyone will be in. Whistling [:-^]
