Duke: Rumor has it that visiting mrr'ers to this area get a layout tour. Ask Inch.
Speaking of Inch, that was very bad news he posted about cancer patients in his familiy. I hope he can give us an update.
Jeff W. Sorry to learn about your loss of a neighbor.
Yeah, Al's bored again.
You'd think he'd have something better to do with his time.........
Afternoon all
John
are you taking a camera?
Paul Will say HI to all and I hope you have a good turnout for your meet.
Fergie I don't worry about my riding but I do watch as close and as much as possible for the 4 wheelers. It does make you more of a defensive rider (driver) because you learn to look and watch for anything that makes some kind of move. Thanks for the thought.
Good to hear that Teffy is doing alright.
Garry I am going to have to try to make it down that way for sure in the future for the ham fest because that is a special time of year for me. That is if I don't forget like I have in the past.
That's about it
Best to all on sick call and those recovering
Talk to you later

in a SOUTHERN mug, please & thanks.
***Jeffrey, there are a few of those folks (in their 90's) around here who we still see tending their gardens, working on big farm tractors, etc... That is the way to go, still doing what you enjoy right up until the end.
***Jim, just checked on the geldings this morning and all are doing well. Mini donkey is by far the most swollen, but he's a tough little guy.
Plumbers came and did their thing on the build the other day. They will need to secure the outside faucet and redo 2 bathroom pipes (to fit the sink/cabinet we picked up yesterday). Also, the roofer came by and added the rubber boot thing (for bathroom vent pipe), and added flashing where he had only put "glue". Thank goodness wife spotted daylight and told our contractor. What kind of roofer uses only glue where the roofs meet? Yikes! Other than that, all is well.
Wait on a funds transfer from bank into paypal to clear so I can pay for wife's circus haul. Except for the few train items infront of the computer screen, everything is packed away waiting for the new train room.
Hope everyone is having a great day. Rob
Hi, Zoe - I'll have a BLT, cheesey fries and a RBF, please. Thanks.
Sawyer, WAY TO GO! I'm sure your entire team is feeling pretty good today. And I'd second PC's comments - keep that attitude and playing going, and it should continue to be a great season!
Tom, you had me wondering there - I thought you meant you got rid of your TV! Good to hear a few jars of Gerbers has picked up Lowell's mood. Hey, he's worth the , right? (Even if he does eat you out of house and home...) That tank train sounds like you're moving along there.
Jeff. I'd have to agree - I like this Rio Grande paint mod better. It does look like the prototypes would do (well, if they were conserving their paint money).
Gav, hope your bunch this term and year continue to be an improvement over the previous tenants you had. Raise a cup o'tea to that (my treat for ya)!
TrainsRMe, you're remembering that you need to leave room in the suitcases for the LHS stuff, right? Sounds like an enjoyable trip so far (and you haven't even hit the LHS'es yet!).
Rob, what can I say about your new Cub Cadet, but... How are your geldings doing today?
Fergie, hope you get rain all weekend, so those 2-10-2's will have a place to roam soon enough. Oh, and I guess Rob's awaiting the ultrasound results...
PC, thanks for the update on C&O Terry - good to know he's up and kicking. Oh, I'd say you should be well-equipped to deal with this Diner bunch, having been present at a couple of our... uh, parties...!
We're having another warm/hot day here (not as bad as Tom may have), temps in the mid-to-upper 80's (F), but not much humidity (thankfully). I may not get much MRR'ing stuff done/read tonight, depending on how busy my on-call is.
Blessings and prayers for those in need or just MIA on us,
Jim in Cape Girardeau

Hello ...
I hope everyone is making plans for the big ham festival: http://www.hamfestival.com/
I'm glad PC could tell us a little about C&O Terry. I've been wooried we have not heard from him. Maybe Terry can get on a computer soon and visit the diner.
PC ...CONGATS! ..... "Pastor Philip" I like that. It has a nice sound. It sounds much better than "Dr Phil".
Jeff .... I like what you did to the GP40! You might consider weatehring it becasue many of the Rio Grande locomotives I saw were dirty.
Dick ... it's good of you to mention the log splitting risks. I recall getting a huge splinter stuck in my leg when I split logs years ago. Not good. Don't forget that ladders can be hazardous too!
Fergie .... Good! I bet you will waste no time. Big curves are coming to the MESS!
Jim CG .... you mentioned something about Dick and a Blomberg article. What was that?
Tom W... I'm glad you like your Audi. This Porsche was a really nice car in its day, but it's over the hill now. It'll be fun to mess around with it I hope. Meanwhile, I have my Chevy truck and it's great with zero mechanical problems over thesix years I've had it. Shelley's current car is a Caddy and it too is very well built. In years gone by, she had 3 Audi's, 1 BMW, and 1 Infiniti. The Infiniti was the car before the Caddy, and I did not like driving it at all because it gave me leg cramps on long trips. Audi's were comfortable to drive. My vehicles have been mostly GM products.
Actually, there was one mechanical problem with the truck. I had it parked outside one night. I started it and the surpentine belt broke. Shelley's bloody furless cat raced away. Under the hood I found tons of cat fur with the broken belt. The cat used up one of its nine lives.
Happy Model Railroading

Never use a wedge that has been damaged too badly on the edges with folded over metal.

Good morning gents, fading sun this morning, copius amounts of rain headed our way for tonight and Friday as a coastal strom arrives, and maybe "Kyle, if he becomes a TS on Saturday. Up on the staging in a few minutes to finish the molding installed late yesterday then that job is DONE! Back to MRR'g hopefully in rains on Saturday.
PC: That is fantastic news!!!!! Congratulations !!! We will have to watch our language in the Diner more now Pastor Philip.
JIM: Glad you enjoyed the article, I found it very informative also.
And speaking of wood, an article in the paper this morning said that Pellet stove purchases are UP 133% across the country, and wood stoves are up 50% in sales. But also the cost of Pellets have risen to $440 a ton ( 50 40lb bags ) Cord wood is over $300 a cord also.
Later guys,

Hi All
Rob's Pregnant?!? Did I miss something when I was away? like a medical breakthrough.
Boy or Girl? Due date? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
Anyhow we'll here or read more on this as the story unfolds I'm sure.
Well what can I say I'm home but in a haze. Just plane exhausted and sore all over. Probably the change in beds and the fact one doesn't realizre the stresses three days of storms puts the body under.
Well I added pics of my Arctic Travels to my webshots account and these can be found on this link.

Sorry can't get the direct link to function. I think it's a Firefox issue
Duke: Take care as my former Commanding Officer was involved in a Pickup/Motorbike MVA 5 weeks ago in California. His bike was written off but he walked away from it with Broken Ribs, Torn ligaments, pins shattered bones, etc etc. Glad to here about the fat burner I have to dust mine off and get riding again as it's been 4 weeks.
Der John: Yes nice to know we got the Bad Guys yet again!
Phil: Good on you. I suspect this will be a time burner but I'm sure with your enthusiasm the time will fly by!
Garry: I'm planning on it as I have a formidable MR Ta-Do list. 1st project is to get the Curves rebuilt to handle my ever expanding 2-10-2 Fleet.
As to projects at sea... Well I started a Bars-Mills kit, which now requires painting and detailing. It is one of the Half building kits that sit along walls to save space. The Shipyard Brewery. Would have liked to have made it a working model but the amount of piping required to make it happen was prohibitive
Anyway it's sunny so I think I'll be heading to the garden and start the Ta-Do list. Rain this weekend and Rain=MR'ng
Later All
Ps I talked with Teffy's wife yesterday in Beaumont, Tx and they made it through Ike but the surrounding area took a nasty hit. Ha anyone heard from C&O Terry?
