Good Mornin', bucket of coffee to go... we's be gettin' ready to go see THAT 'bout some "face-time" here shortly.
"Good morning Asphalt" Hmmmmmmmm, Perhaps the King of Toddland was expounding some profundity lost upon us mere mortals???? I don't think it was word salad...
I suppose, we'd best follow suit, so:
Good Morning, Tarmac.

Good sunny morning.
Off to work in a few minutes . We got the house appraisal back yesterday and the house is worth $70,000. That's the second time the house came back at that price. So hopefully we can get it refinanced by next month and get some things paid off!!
Lee........Didn't get a chance to say anything yesterday about the article, but it was very touching.
Hope everybody has a good day.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Lunchtime in hot and humid northern Germany!
Janie, I´ll have a Lasagne and half a bottle of Montepulciano d´Abruzzo, 1991 year, per favore.
Temperature is "hovering" at 28 C, with a humidity of 95 %. We are expecting some nice thunderboomers later in the day. Here it is not as bad as in southern Germany, where there is some serious flooding.
Nothing planned for the rest of the day, maybe I´ll watch the opening game of the soccer championship in South Africa. I won´t be rooting for that arrogant German team, my heart is with the Bafana team of South Africa!
Asphalt? Isn´t that the sticky, black stuff which they smear in the roads?
Have a good day, y´all!
Morning guys!
I'm the first up at 5 am? HMM.
I know a lot of you guys have to be up this early to go to work. My ohter half gets up this early for work too. I usually get up to have some morning "us time" before we are separated for the day.
TMarsh Good morning. Asphalt
Good morning. Asphalt
Good morning Asphalt? Asphalt?? Asphalt??? are you greeting us this way or answering a question about your scale roads? Is "Asphalt" the "word of the day"??? {Or did you party too much the night before and woke up "kissing asphalt" so you said good morning to it???} LOL I puzzled over this all day yesterday so I had to ask today, made me laugh when I read that greeeting though.
Hey there's a new idea---"the word of the day"! Here is the word for today: "discombobulate"- meaning "upset, confused" according to Websters New American Dictionary.
I hope your day goes well, and nothing is "discombobulated" for you!

Janie just a cup of decaf in a FGLK mug to relax me.
Lee, I didn't have time this morning to mention..... You probably are aware of this but, RIT has a very large and active group of students involved in model railroading. I am friends with the RIT Model Railroad Club adviser who is a member of the R&GV RR Museum. He is also a member of my division of the NMRA. More info is here. BTW a couple of the photos that show on the page are of the 1/1 scale stuff out at the museum. They do a lot of volunteer work out there and several of our younger members are RIT grads. I find the students in the Model Railroad club are just great people to hang with!!! If you get up this way, look me up. I love to give tours of the SLOW...
I spent most of the afternoon over at church. We no sooner got down to checking sound levels on the mikes than the fire call goes off. Since the other guy working with me is a fireman and the call was for a car accident, he takes off on the run. I decided to go run a few errands I needed to do, came back an hour later, found he wasn't back yet. I left a note for him to call when he got back to the church. No sooner get home and doing some other things, he calls........ We did make all the needed adjustments and check out the differences between to big board which was fried and my little 1202 Mackie.
We only have 3 services left before we go on the summer schedule and combine services with the American Baptist Church across town. Month of July will be at the Baptist church, month of August will be at the Presbyterian Church. So..... We have a month to get everything fixed and running without having to worry about Sunday Services.
I found out a couple days ago that an almost 90 year old Master Model Railroader will be driving up to visit his son and family first part of July. His DIL is a member of the board of deacons and has told him I am into model railing and working on the AP certificates towards MMR. He wants to stop over for a while while he is in town. I have some major cleaning up and progress to make by the 1st. if July.....

***Ulrich, your waste management description brought a chuckle here. Are you sure your Chancellor's last name isn't Gore?
***Lee, wonderful article. You must be very proud of your son.
Had a scarey morning here when I awoke to the smell of smoke. Running downstairs into a smoke filled workshop, found the heat lamp had fallen into the tub of chicks (guineas,chickens,peafowl) and was burning the shavings. Lost 1 baby peafowl that was unfortunately trapped under the fallen lamp. All others seem to be OK thus far. Just depends if breathing that smoke hurt their lungs. Time will tell.
All for now, Rob
Evenin' guys!
Went to help a friend do some things, Now, of course, my back is screaming at me and oxycontin and hydrocodone and the muscle relaxer are now my new best friends.
I know this ain't the beer barn, but could I have a glass of WHite Zinfandel wine to relax with please?
At least it gave me something to do and got me out of the house for something other than a Dr.s Appt.
By the time we get an answer from the guys at Overhaulin' in CA. I think Jeffrey will have it all rebuilt for himself nicely. Besides, it would be no secret, I'm positive he read my posts! Nice idea though! Hey Jeffrey! If you decide to give up let us know we can all still write those letters about a deserving guy who "needs new wheels to get around and get to Dr/s APPt's with and he needs wheels to volunteer in his community FD even with his limited physical abilities, but smarts in the brains!" Just pretend to be "shocked" when you find out it's been "stolen"!!!!
WEll the N scale Kato GG-1 in Tuscan Red I orderd for my other half got here the other day. I don't think I mentioned it yet, if I did I repeat myself. I know I mentioned order it, but not sure if I did say it got here. Sure is "Purdy". It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It should run on the 11"R oval, but might be stretching it on the 9.5"R oval under the tree. HHMMM. While my other half is at work, I will have to dig out some N scale track, wire and a transformer and test it out make sure it works. Tuscan red ones are the favorite, but any thing red is our favorites. WE are making a new under the tree layout so that is why I have no track "RTR" to test it on. sure hope it works well. My other half wants a white snowy scene and I want a regular "green scene". MAybe I can convince as it {a green scene} shoudl remind us of days to come.... {spring/summer}! AMybe that idea will fall flat on its face but...
well you guys all have a great evening.
galaxyjeffrey-wimberly galaxyTHis may sound stupid, and you may have already covered this route, but is there an auto restoration company somewhere near you or in a bigger city within 1-2 hour drive of you? They may have contacts that could get you what you need, or they may be able to fabricate it for you. Just a thought. There aren't many auto restorers in this part of the state. Only place around here like that is less than a mile up the road. He focuses on mid 70's to late 50's as a hobby, so what I have is somewhat out of his realm. The newest Dodge van that he has on site is a 79 B250. It's a junker that he uses to store auto body parts in. He has to do some research on it but he's sure it will fit mechanically. The problem is that the wiring on it is a bit different. He has to find the proper interchange manual to see what it says about adapting it to an 81 wire harness. It's not quite as simple as just changing out a harness adapter. Design engineers sometimes have a nasty habit of changing the color codes on the wires. He is looking though and I can't ask for more than that. I KNOW, I KNOW! EVERYBODY: Lets all chip in and have Jeff's van stolen off to the guys at the Cable TV Show "Overhaulin'" in California!!! There they will totally restore and update it for him and he won't have to worry about gastanks or steering columns or bondo or paint jobs or anything else!!!! What y'all THINK?

Good afternoon.
I've been painting the garage most of the day, and then I ran out of paint. No MRR for me today. Maybe this weekend.
Also thanks for the comments on my gas station. I got some road poured out yesterday. Maybe I can work on it also this weekend.
Hope everybody has a good evening.
last mountain & eastern hoggerJeff, I feel so much better now that you are going to keep that fuel system stock. I really didn't feel comfortable about the CELL idea, although I'm sure your precautions would have made it safe. If the time comes that you ever need to get rid of it, it will be much easier to sell with the stock tank.

Bridge Tom, I have been eyeing up some of those Cripplebush rock faces, they really look good and I would like to use a larger one for an access hole into a tunnel area. What is your opinion of them and do you think this might work ??
Well, we are enjoying our visit with my Son here in Spokane. His Convocation is tomorrow , this is a great milestone for him in what he has been through the last three years (other than school). Then two more years for his Masters.
Picked up a few items from Sunset Junction yesterday, a GN Gunderson gondola with the stamped steel sides, from Exact Rail.Some spare trucks, some forest floor ground cover from Timberline Scenery and some other odds and ends. (You know how it goes, you don't need anything but you find things to buy anyway.)
We brought the Wife's Chevy HHR down this time rather than my truck, (Sierra) so that saved quite a bit of fuel but really limits what we can take back with us.
We will head home Monday, always sad to leave our Son, but he is living the life he has chosen and that must be recognized and accepted.
Ulrich, we are still praying for you, Petra and your Folks. It is time that the sun starts to shine for all of you. Blessings to you Buddy.
Also prayers for all others standing in need today.
The good Wife is ready to head out so must go and keep track of her... Lol.
Keep smiling ya all.

Mornin' everyone!
Zoe just an English Muffin with strawberry jam and a cup of dark roast in a R&GV Mug please and Thank You! I'll be in the front booth soaking up what sunshine is coming in the window and watching all the activity outside.
Lee, That is great and I know you are proud!
Jeffrey, I can understand what you have gone through with the hearing. Only big difference is I lost mine as an older adult. I can hear most sounds, but speech without my being able to see the person speaking is mostly unintelligible. An inplant has been suggested for my loss, but tempered with, "You won't like it as a musician!" So I limp along on what little hearing I have left. The toughest thing is people including family members who get upset with me because I can't get what they are saying. yesterday my granddaughter was excited being down in the train room and she would ask me to run something or do something with the trains, and it came out as, "PaPa ndsjw djfj kkjdf ks nfokjkkj, OK?
Well, I have a Cub Pack Meeting with their new Carter Organization (Methodist Church) to get to and I don't want to be late!
Later!

Lee: That's great news about your son. Getting an implant at that age meant he had a lot to overcome to get to where he is now. He had a whole new world opened up to him and he grabbed onto it. I have a fair idea of what he went through growing up. Many people just don't realize how important being able to hear is until they lose it. While I've never been deaf I might as well have been when I was a child since I couldn't understand any speech I heard. I have a condition called global aphasia in which what I hear is scrambled. It also effects my speech. After 9 years of special ed schools you'd be hard pressed to tell that I had (still have) a problem with speech and hearing. I use a bit of lip reading to help me understand what someone is saying, but if the voice is coming over a PA speaker - forget it. I'm lucky if I can pull out 1 word in 4. The aphasia is still there but I learned how to cope with it and unscramble what I hear and make sure that what I say is understandable. However it still sneaks in once in a while when I'm tired or I'm not paying attention.
Lee, Thanks for sharing the newspaper article with us. It's always nice to know or read about the many fine young people out there. I get tired of only reading about the losers. My best wishes on his graduation and my hope that all his ambitions are fulfilled.
A couple of weeks ago I picked up a really nasty virus on my laptop. No way was I going to do any banking or make any purchases on it, so I ordered a new laptop from Dell. Two weeks ago I read an ad in the paper of a local outfit which advertised that they could take care of problems like that. They had to wipe everything out and reinstall the operating system, but that was okay as I had transferred all my files to the new laptop. They were reasonable in their fees and very quick in the turnaround. I also had them come to the house and install a wireless router as well as take care of an issue I was having with an external monitor. Now all is right with the world and I'm back in business. I'm glad I spotted the ad and feel fortunate that I've found somebody reliable to help sort out these issues when necessary.
It's a beautiful, sunny day here around Pittsburgh. Supposedly, the rain won't be back until the weekend. I'll have to get the grass cut this afternoon before it's a jungle again. I think I've cut the grass more this spring than any other.
In the township where I live, each household pays $62.00 a quarter for weekly pickup of trash, garbage and recyclables on a weekly basis. Unlimited amounts with certain restrictions. Around here, I think it's one of the better bargains.
Just thinking I better wrap this up and maybe wash the car while I can.

Good Afternoon,
Flo, I´ll go for a mug o´ coffee and a slice of that cherry crumble pie, topped with vanilla ice cream and cream chantilly. A sprinkle of hazel nut flakes on it is quite OK, as well. Thank you.
Chris - "Yes, I'm STILL in a foul, grumpy, anti-social, fed up with the human race kinda mindset..." - you and I must be brothers, you are just describing the way I feel already for some months (years?) now. Especially, when your fellow countrymen are Germans - egad!
Todd - the US are a tax heaven compared to Germany. Taxes are killing the economy and killing the people, and guess what our elected representatives are discussing right now - yes, you have guessed it right - more taxes! If you add up all taxes, a middle income is taxed over 70 % ! That´s more than double of corporate taxation. I´d be happy with signs in German and Spanish - here, the German language is on the retreat, it is Genglish and Turkish nowadays.
Lee - congrats on that smart and handsome boy of yours! I am glad the docs could help him with his hearing! Sometimes I wish, though, I´d find the button to turn it off - there is just too much garbage I have to listen to!
Saturday, we will be going to Hannover to see my son. He just moved into a new flat a month ago, and we are eager to see, how he and his girlfriend have settled down in this place. I am really looking forward to this, as we do not have much of a chance to go anywhere else than our local supermarkets these days.

Ulrich- Hang in there. Not much better in the land of milk and honey. No honey unless someone is rolling in the milk and is willing to share by hiring. Like Jeff said, since the government said that the cost of living did not increase, they gave no increase. Odd. The cost of insurance coming out of the check went up. Guess that doesn't count unless they want it too. ????? Your description of your waste program. I need to check something here. Go outside and walk around the block. Do you notice an unusually large amount of signs written in English and Spanish? Cause Hoss, it sure sounds like something they would dream up here in the States. Sounds to me you are about as close to the U.S. as you can get without having to pay our taxes.
Ray- We don't have to divide, or separate here really, just set out the blue tote box and hope they don't recycle that as well. They drive this separate compartment truck around and separate as they pick up. Probably like your place. Yup, sounds about like the government. "We'll save tax money by not having to support the waste service" means just that. It does not mean they will not spend it on something else like oh, I don‘t know, Twizzlers. But they won't be spending it on waste service. So that saves you money. See?
Chuck- I hope things get settled soon.
Jeff- wise move on the tank. I've gotten used to doing things by myself over the years using knees and elbows, head , feet and even some items designed for the purpose, however, given the choice, I believe I would have preferred to have an extra set of hands.
Lee-Great article. You are surely proud of him. Good lookin feller too. Must take after his mother. It's all in how you interpret the storm drain service. You see, the ones who have one get charged to have one. Those who do not, get charged because your runoff gets into a storm drain....., riiiight, oh where is that..... well, somewhere. Besides, they never said YOUR storm drain. See? Makes perfect sense.
Well, JP got me all misty eyed again, guess I better get moving.
Have a Great Day!!!

Ray, we now pay $65 a half for trash removal. Use to be included with our taxes. When I lived in Texas we were charged $25/month for storm drain service. The subdivision I lived in didn’t have any storm drains since we lived on top of a large hill near the river we didn’t need them, but the city charged us the $25 anyway.Chuck, I hope things work out for you.Today: Sunny, with a high near 74. West northwest wind between 8 and 10 mph. Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 55. North northwest wind around 7 mph.

Zoe, a dark roast coffee in a Northern Rail mug, please, and a breakfast bagel - thank you!
Good Morning,
a wet day with nothing to do. There is not even a HD-list to work down. Ideal for working on a layout, if you have one. All I can do, is wait for something to happen. No news on the job, which is bad, no news on my Mom, which is good.
PC - my belated condolence on the passing of your dog. It is always hard to lose a family member and long-time companion.
Sawyer - I enjoyed very much your recent pictures. As I stated earlier, your model work is very mature and your layout one of the best small layouts I have seen Keep it up, mate!
Talking about recycling, the Germans appear to be the world champions in waste separation and recycling. each household has 3 different bins - one for packaging materials and plastics, one for paper and cardboard and one for "regular" organic waste. Three different companies take care of waste collection, bringing the stuff to the same waste treatment plant, where they dump it in the same storage. This system has added a lot to the cost, but did not decrease the waste, as it was supposed to. A very intelligent solution, indeed!
Have a good day!

Good evening, RBF to go...
JP: Sorry I didn't get the opportunity to say this sooner...but our deepest condolences to you. Your tribute got to me...I'll admit it. I had to go give Rerun an extra hug. He too, as near as I can tell, was a "runt," and was the only one to walk over to me. I think I know exactly what happened the first time you looked into those big brown puppy dog eyes... May you find comfort in this difficult time.
Tormorrow, I gotta gotta gotta do some stuff for THAT...this whole week has been shot to Satan's Home with "other duties as assigned" on the home front. NOT a "honey-do" list exactly...just a lot of crap THAT had to be taken care of...
*Grumble grumble grumble*
A good night to all, and here's hoping for a better tomorrow for all of us.
Evening all.
Haven't been in in a while. Just to catch you guys up a bit...
I decided I'm not going to ask my friend out just yet. I'll probably wait till after summer.--------------------------------------I have a problem. I now have not one, but TWO jobs. Yep, I was told I was hired for the badge checking job too. The problem: both jobs want me to work on Saturdays and Sundays, but I can only work 8 hours a day. Fortunately, the job at the pizza place is also other days as well. I'm going down this weekend, so I'll try and negotiate.--------------------------------------Tomorrow is our last day of classes! Today was our last day of Theology and English (aka Janis or just Jan...) because I don't have those on Fridays (yes, tomorrow is Thursday, but it's a Friday schedule because we don't have school on Friday...And then next week we have exams. I'll have a lot of studying to do... Ugh...
Well, I gotta go. I'll catch ay guys later.

Evening gang -
Todd, Ray, and Lee - Thanks for the kind notes.
Hunter has always lived with my mom and dad ever since I got him. Why? Well, I was still living at home at the time and, as life goes on, I met my ex and every place we rented, we could not have pets. So, when she and I split, I was religated to an apartment and still could not have him. When I bought my house 2yrs ago, there was no way that I could remove him from their house because he had been there for so long and they were very attached. My dad just retired back in December, but when he was working, Hunter very rarely left my mom's side. And that's also through a few years of chemo treatments for mom as well. So, yesterday was very hard on all of us, but especially more so for her. And eventhough I miss my buddy like crazy, I do know deep down inside that he is in much better hands now and that it was the right thing to do.
Take care!

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017
galaxyRained all day
Took the new gas tank put of it's box this morning and put in the fuel tank vent plug and the fuel flow and sending unit assembly. That decided it wanted to be a pain in the rear. The assembly has two (2) indexing tabs on it that are supposed to align with two corresponding notches in the side of the tank. Guess what! Old Murphy must have been around because only one of the tabs lined up properly. The other one was off by just a 16th of an inch. After fighting with it for about thirty minutes I got out the Dremel and fitted it with the diamond cutoff wheel. I then carefully but quickly ground off the 16th of an inch from the tab that was causing the problem. After that the unit dropped in and locked into place just like it was supposed to. After all that putting the lock ring on it was child's play. The tank is of pretty good size and being made of steel is quite heavy, therefore it's quite a job for one person to lift. My nephew and I will fit it into it's place under the van between now and Monday. I just know that if I try tackling it on my own old man Murphy will be there beside me howling with laughter as I juggle the tank, the straps and the tools. Just one more step to getting the old girl road worthy again.
Flo, I'll have a white hot with all the trimmings, and sides of potato chips and coleslaw and a Dr. Pepper. I go sit at the rivit counter for a bit.
Yep here too! Cold, wet, damp and icky! High got all the way up to 57°F earlier today. Only good thing is we do need the rain. Sloshed out to the garden and have some squash and beans already popping out of the ground. The transplanted peppers, calliflower, and Broccoli are doing well also.
Just got off the phone with #2 son from Chicago. He is coming home for his niece's 3rd. birthday party this weekend. So I will get to spend a bit of time with him. Sunday is officially Olivia's Birthday but there are parties on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is the family celebration.
Welp! Best get eating supper.
