Good Morning,
Starting to warm up, might be 72F today. Everything is 1 month behind up here this spring, the April flowers are in full bloom and the May flowers are still dormant. We have had so much rain that I’ll have to pick about 5 gallons of rhubarb next week. I’ll load a sugar beet car and ship it to the diner, now where did I put that portable cleaner conveyer...
Curt, Nice Bowser K-9 and K-11’s. I would have to double check but I have about 20 of them total. Not sure where or when the doors went from silver to box car red, maybe you can shed some light on that? All my locomotives with sound are turned down, you can hear it when it goes by, but you can’t hear it at the other end of the layout unless its dead quiet in the room. I have the horns and bells set so you can hear them from across the room if it’s quiet. Right now the drumming of the locomotives traveling over the non-ballasted sections of track is almost louder than the locomotive. Except for the T-1 that 4-4-4-4 is just plain loud.
Ulrich, thoughts and prayers for your mother…
Thinking about going to the Pittsburg NMRA Convention next year...

Strong coffee in a SUNNY SOUTHERN mug, please.
***Barry, that engine is so filthy, have you ever considered spending some time cleaning it up a little bit?
Going to try working a bit this morning before it heats up. Have a good day y'all.
Rob
Mornin' everyone!
Zoe, I'll have a breakfast bagel w/ cheese and a cup of dark roast coffee to start the day today. What? Oh, use the R&GV RR Mug.
Nice bright day outside today here in the Finger Lakes! Currently 56°F with a high in the upper 60's this afternoon. Puddles are drying up little by little and farmers just might be able to do their early April Plowing by next week.... everything is a bout 3 weeks behind around here this year. Will mean some iffy late crops for them.
Rob, hope the cleanup and repairs from the storm are going well. If I lived down there I'd be over to give you a hand, but the commute from here would be a little much....
Barry, go start up that contraption and run it a bit. Needs a couple hundred thousand on it with a few oil leaks... then it will look right. More like this:
Best get moving, got lots of stuff to do as always today.

We'll get there sooner or later!
Need several strong cups of coffee this morning...been raining and I just discovered we have a leak or maybe seepage in our basement. Fortunately the railroad room is bone dry. Anyone have a spare sump pump I can borrow?
Jeff, I'm sorry to hear about your foot, I had no idea it was that serious. Best wishes and hope your Doc can help. Nice photos, thanks for sharing.
And these car photos are bringing back fond memories: my dad used to have a 65 Chevelle with a 283 and I could practically climb into the hood to do tuneups. Today, I look into the hood of a car and can't even see the engine.
We're expecting out of town guests today and will be very busy for a few days,

Good Morning!! Cup of Dark Roast and a waffle with bacon please. Yes butter and maple syrup thank you. Didn’t sleep well last night. Stayed up watching some show called Criminal Minds ‘til one. Probably shouldn’t have gotten up at 6. A nap may happen this afternoon. Who knows. Miiight have to turn the AC on for the next day or two. Pushing the 90’s is just a bit too warm for the windows only. Temps should drop to more seasonable on…Thursday. I believe. But for now there is a cool breeze wafting through the house and the AC remains dormant (except for the pre season before it gets hot trial run to beat the rush should it decide to not work after it’s winter slumber firing up) Today I must go out to Mom’s house and get the door from the small shed that blew off and rebuild that then put back on. I’ll do that when I leave to do the grocery thing at 10ish. I did get down to the train room last night and built a bridge support. One more to go. I have do some trimming on the wood for the concrete abutments. Measuring for one end was spot on, but the other end needs trimmed. Hmmm, I could cut into the foam…. Nah. The I’d spend four months leveling. Jeff- Nice scene. We’re getting to see the rebirth now I guess. Just don’t show the graphic scenes ok? Weak stomach. Ken- Nope, wouldn’t mind posting more pictures at all. Right now it is about 12’ (not counting the closet which will be urban with no trains) by 13'. Roughly half the projected size of 12 X 24 or 6 depending on the disposition of my reloading bench. I decided to do it this way because….well, I don’t remember why originally, but I do know now, I’ve started having second thoughts on the track plan for the second half. Some of my railroading wants have changed. Glad I didn’t put up all the bench work and lay track. Ulrich- Prayers for your Mother. Welp, starting to rain, gently for a change, and a rumble or two of thunder and the humidity in the house has risen noticeably. Hands are sticky. The radar shows a small thunder boomer heading over us so guess I best get a movin. Ya’ll have a Great Day!!!

Morning again
After 2 cups of coffee I have some ZIP in my git-a-long. COunted out bottles for return.I have coupons that give me a 6 cent return on a 5 cent returnable and a card to get stamped once daily that when full will give us 7cents per bottle/can we bring. SO I count out 175 bottles { a minimum is needed to cash in the 6cent coupon} and have a few extra glass bottles to take today and get teh card stamped. Then tomorrow while doing errands we will do more and get another stamp onthe card and repeat on thursday. {yes we have that many saved over time}. Only can get teh card stamped once per day. Must get 10 stamps to get a full card. Then we wiat til we have a mother load of bottles and cans to take back and THEN we cash in the stamped 7 cetn per card! The coupons come from the back of a grocery store recipt WHEN they print out on them and the coupon is intact. I think they are out cuz lately its been only plain paper receipts. Still I will get $10.80 for my bottles today. and get $10.80 tommorow and get $10.50 on thursday. and three more stamps ont he card. I don;t know how many bottle will be left after that, but I wil also be out of the 6 cent coupons too unless the store starts giving out more. I HATE it when the coupon pops up at the tear off part and is incomplete, Durn it! The money will pay for 1/2 tank fill up or OTC medications, probaly both split down the middle. Now if only they would print more coupons on the back of the receitps...
Gotta clean off the front porch. Getting rid of some bottles will help with that project. Must do in the early AM before gets hotter for the day as the poch is enclosed with rigid plastic walls and the sun just bakes it in there. MOH wants GRILLED steaks, NOT broiled as I do during winter. BUT gotta find the grill on the porch first!!!
Well don't know what other trouble i can get into today. could work more on t he porch but dunno. HATE doing that as the proch is NOT toatlly closed off and the neighborhood cats get in there and pee-mark everything!. I put the first bag in the Kia and when I went to put the second bag in I could smell the cat$1****$2 so I stacked up the bags outside the porch so as to not smell up the cehicle too much. too much activity means I could in bed the rest of the day with my back screaming insults at me as Jeffrey W. Would say. I could get sweaty now before I take my shower! Its a waste to get sweaty AFTER a good shower....Im late at getting to that too.
well I could also do some work inside where it is cooler. Have a bunch of stuff to clear out of the junk/train room I could do..or a section of the kitchen that is rather overrun with "shtuff" Maybe another day. Today IS garbage day.maybe i can get some SHtuff out to the curb. DOing laundry right now.
Well i will leave you all alone and to your own devices. That could be dangerous!
Havea great day!

Hello guys, i messed up my laptop?? The wife got me up and running again, I have been getting alot done around our house, The weather is wet and cool, I am starting to wonder if spring will ever come? We may have some flooding around the state if it warms up to fast. (glad i live on a hill.) I saw a neat looking loco/engine looking thing the other day while driving across Wyoming. I was wondering if any of you railfans had a guess at what i was looking at? It looked kind of like a brand new caboose and it was between two UP locos, It was either brand new or freshly painted? Looked like some kind of power unit to me? I see alot of trains up there but I have never seen one of these. Any ideas?
Thanks, Thayne.
Todd I presume you have a proper Coast Guard Bridge Permit for that bridge abutment you’re working on?!?!?
LSWrr Todd I presume you have a proper Coast Guard Bridge Permit for that bridge abutment you’re working on?!?!?
I'm sure he consulted the Army COrp of Engineers first on teh best way to build that awkward second abutment, too ?
He'll spend four months leveling if he cuts into the foam? Boy, he'd better have some engineers and permits handy, a derailment could cost him!
Did I say I was making abutments? I meant planting trees. Sounds the same I see how you misunderstood. (Whew! That was close. I forgot what Lee did for a living)
Well G, between leveling and lowering the "hole" and filling to raise and lowering said "hole" countless times to get the right height, four months may not be all that accurate. The way things go for me, let's just say some where between the first and last try. Which could span 15 minutes to 4.....ever.
Back with the shed door. Now, do I want to do it today? Or put it off and pack it around in the back of my truck until I need to haul something else. Decisions, decisions.
Here's a couple of photos I took last night:

***Jeffrey, neat progress pics. I like the way the new layout is looking.
***Ray, I know you would. Thanks for the kind thoughts.
Put out 3 hay bales and got the sprayer ready for weed control. However, there are some seriously large chunks of tree in the way and a smashed gate to remove before I can drive out into the front pasture with the sprayer. First priority remains working on the shed roof, to keep the wife less depressed. Just wish it wasn't up around 90 degrees outside. Whew!
Good Evening Folks,
just a quick update. My Mom´s surgery went well, though not without a complication. She had an aneurysm on the main arterie, which had remained undetected for decades. She could have died any moment - a horrifying thought! She is still in the IC unit and sleeping. Tomorrow they will restart her breathing and her heart. Hope everything goes well .
I don´t know whether I have top honors or not, but Janie, will you please bring the guys wharever they would like to have? Thank you!
My shipment still "rests" at the Franfurt Aurport customs office, awaiting clearance - for 5 days now
CU tomorrow!
Janie, just a RBF for me to tide me over to dinner.
Ulrich, so glad to hear your mom came through the operation well, and WOW! sure glad they did the operation and caught that aneurysm!!! Hope tomorrow she will be get everything up and going with no problems. You and yours remain in my prayers!
I am tired out at the moment, mowed part of the lawn (will do a bit more in a few minutes), and weeded the asparagus patch to remove a very large crop of wild morning glory that comes up every year. Once it is established about all that can be done is try to keep ahead of it. Still have 2/3s of the patch to do in the next few days. Have a 50th. class reunion committee meeting to go to tonight. Reunion isn't until 2014.... We just started early so we could have more fun!
Catch you later!
Hi All,
Now for the third try. I think the issue is IE9. I have tried loading it 2 times and both times this site will not allow me to post, so I went in and did a system restore and viola it works again. Bad IE9
A t w**k today. High was around 95 F with zip for rain. Tomorrow has the highest chance all week at 30%. I have decided to have a club member help me wire the layout. He has electrical expierence and has been wanting to help out. I figure when I run into problems he will be invaluable.
Howmus- their lifespan in captivity is 8-10 years, but it really depends on their diet and weight. The closer you can get to a natural diet the better it is for them.
Ken- you do know that drag racing is on ESPN 2 right?
Blownout- Great job on your car and engine.
Todd- I'm sure Lee bought your change in your story
Jeff- Once again great pics of your layout.
Ulrich- I am glad your Mom came thru the operation fine.
Lee- I have been doing research into your question. I looked online and PRR data bases and could not find anything definitive. I did find one bit of info that implies that the silver was first applied during uprades in 1959. I have posed the question to a PRR modeling site I am a member of, hopefully I will get a answer. If I do I will let you know. I actually like the straight red color best, but will change it if it is wrong. One thing I did learn was the K9 is based on the 50 ft X-32 boxcar and the K11 is based on the 40 ft X-31 boxcar.
Thanks to the members that provided me the modeling tips on plastic buildings.
Everyone have a great night.

Ray - I can assure you that your 50th Reunion will be great fun. We had ours in 2008, and I can't begin to tell you how great it was to see everyone. There were only 68 of us when we graduated, so we all knew each other very well. I hadn't seen some of these folks since the night we graduated. The funny thing was I recognized the guys right off, but the ladies, well, that was a different story. One even had to remind me that I took her to the Prom. Kind of awkward for me. But what a terrific night. The sad part was talking about those who have passed away over the years.
Got up early today and worked until about 2:00 on the car. Got it washed, waxed, wiped down the interior and gave it a good vacumning. Looks really good. I will take it to the dealer next week for an oil and filter change, tire rotation and other services that are due. The wife will be very nervous as I have a habit of trading in while I'm waiting. I know, I know, being an impulse buyer is not too smart. But those new ones look so great sitting there crying out, "Take me home, take me home."
This afternoon UPS delivered an ExactRail 64' Trinity Reefer that I had on pre-order. I have to say this is a really nice model. Great detail and the printing is beyond description. I couldn't be happier. Well, I could be happier if I had a layout to run it on.
The wife and I went railfanning this past Sunday. I was happy to see a NS slug on one consist. This was the first I've seen one except for spotting some from time to time sitting in Conway Yard. So that was a good day.
Everybody have a good one.

Great to see you Guys. Chloe, bring on a bag of Bar-b-qued wings and an RBF, Thanks much.
For those who were questioning my health after my fall and black-out (or was it the other way around )
I thought I would give you a quick update as I have been peeking through the windows here but didn't feel like responding for awhile.
All the tests came back OK, all the blood work, pulse, BP, and ECG said normal, so for that I am thankful. They believe that I pinched a major nerve in the right side of my neck that shut everything down and then the fall. I feel pretty good right now, had lingering head aches for a few days, but they have diminished. So I am only left with some pain in my right shoulder that went through the wall. But thanks for all your concern Fellas, and you to Rayne.
I had this written twice before and when I went to send it, it completley disappeared
I felt good enough that we decided to come down and visit my youngest Son here in Spokane for a few days. We arrived on Saturday evening and will stay for about 10 days. This will be our last visit here for awhile as he will be going to Grad School in Missouri for the next couple of years starting in August. So right now we are helping him get his house ready to rent while he is away. He has a renter for it.
Had a few parcels waiting for me here when we arrived. Items that sellers wouldn't ship to Canada so I had them use this address.
I got a couple of Atlas Locos. a U30B (WP) and an RS11 (NP).
Two Athearn 40 ft. flat cars with the new boat loads.
A Exactrail 50 ft. Gunderson Box Car (SP&S) slimmey green in color, with yellow lettering.
a Jar of Roberts Mortar wash.
And that is before going to Sunset Junction or the White Elephant.
I am really pretty well done my RR purchases other than some more scenery goods and maybe the odd loco upgrade, I have all I need. and more in some cases as I have accumulated a lot of kits that I will probably not have time to build in this lifetime.
Glad to hear that most survived the wicked storms that tore through the southeast and north east.
Sorry that you had so much Damage Rob, but glad that you and your wife and critters escaped.
ULRICH, Good news this far on your Mom, really hope that continues in the same vain. You and yours are on the prayer list.
GARRY, has that river ever risen to the point that you did have water in your house ?
Galaxy, We are keeping the fingers crossed that you and your wife will come upon a home that will suit you to a "T". Glad your medical worked out for you as well.
JEFF, "You be one good Medicine Man" Better decisions by you than by your Doctor. I am sure glad for that.
JR. Hope these week-ends have proven to be winners for you.
Cape Jim, How is your Courting going, there hasn't been much news on that front lately.
Gerry & Sallie, Hope you are doing well and the weather is letting you get out and about more now. Is the Illinois Southern still showing a profit?
All you young uns. Time to slack off on the modeling and concentrate on your finals, that is really more important than trains and cars right now. Especially if you want to do more of this in the future.
Well my wife and Son just took off to the bank and to do some grocery shopping so I think i will take this opportunity to have a little nap.
Blessings to all.

Evening Guys
Helped my father install some pistons on one of his 302 blocks. Stopped for dinner, but haven't gone back out.
Work stuff, Got a number from one of the girls at work. Today was the first time I saw her, lol. Today was also the last time I will have to set foot in the other store with the other girls. The one I used to like is acting like the one that threatened me now. Good I got out of there (family says I seem happier), but I'm gonna turn them into the police for human trafficing. IIRC, florida will pay $ for info leading to arrests. And I have enough evidence.
Johnboy, I always like the NP RS11s. Is the U30B in the silver or the green WP scheme?
Vincent
Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Evening Folks
Flo, egg salad sandwich and a beer please.
Packer Good to hear you like working at the new store. Did you see the picture of the fogger?
Barry Nice Dart! Guessing it is a 69 from what little I could see of the grill. If it happens to be a 67 Dart GT, I have chrome for the hood I will never use. Think I all so have some small bolt pattern rally wheels as well.
Far as N02 system, did not install it. Like I said, when I saw the Dyno numbers I could see blowing parts all over the road with me using a stock 74 casting block. I have never blew up a Mopar because I know there limitations.
Curt I sometimes watch Pinks all Out (or what ever it is called) and the show where you guess the cars ET. I surprise my self most of the time on how close I get to the time they run.
Ulrich Glad things seem to be going well for Mon. What concerns me is when you stated "Wednesday they will restart her heart"? Guess they are using a pump to move her blood.
On the package sitting in customs, which one? I am starting to worry a little about the one I sent, hope I filled the label right. I did a copy and paste of the address you sent me. There has been no up dates from April 30th at the Post Offices Site?
No new Mattress for me at this point. Finally got the prices Berry will let me buy the mattress I wanted for. Berry buys mattress from the manufacturers that have freight rub and or line they close out. He buys 5 to 6 semi trailers at a time. Some will be junk, and they junked. Some will not meet are standards and will be sold to mattress liquidators. Rest are sold in the stores and a great discount with a 10 year warranty.
On the Blemished Mattress, he will normal let employees but them for only 10% over cost. Of course the Mattress I want is a new in the bag (close out) Sealy True Form Memory Foam called the Crysta Sea. Retail on this mattress was $1400.00 for a twin if you can believe it! Berry cost was $55.00, yep that was a steal! But you have to wade through a lot of crap to find one at this caliber. Berry will let me buy it for $200.00, a fair prices but far from the $60.50 I was hoping for! With the way this month is going, I will not be able to afford it soon.
Needles to say "I hate when customers tell me this" I need to think about it some. I can do a layaway, wonder if he will let me Lay on it while It is in layaway?
Only Memory Foam Mattress I have ever laid on I like! If I was given a New Temper Pedic I would sell it on E Bay!
See you all Wednesday
Ken
I hate Rust
Mixed nuts with M&Ms, please.
Worked on yanking strait the curled up tin on the main barn roof and then went to work on much of the remaining roof with nails & screws. Will get some tin on the horses run-in shed tomorrow. After that, back to work on the hay/tractor shed roof. This is my life now, but one day it will all be a thing of the past and I can get back to more fun stuff like MRRing.
Have a good night y'all.
Packer Johnboy, I always like the NP RS11s. Is the U30B in the silver or the green WP scheme?
Hi Vincent,
The U-boat is in the silver and orange scheme of WP, the RS11 is in the black and yellow of NP.
Congrats on getting to that other shop, really hopes that works for you, as Dr. Phil would say.

Good Morning from Red Lodge, MT
Up before the roosters this morning, need plenty of coffee and a nice plate of hotcakes sounds pretty good right about now.
Our rain finally stopped and we're trying to dry out and get the flooding basement dried out. Geez. we even had a little bit of snow yesterday and it's almost the middle of May.
Good Morning Folks!
Mug ol' coffee please!
Have a great day all!
The temperatures are getting more “summer like” finally; we may hit the upper 60’s today with possible 80’s in the near future. This has been a very slow start to summer for us. Normally that means a rough winter ahead.
Curt, I prefer the box car red/ red oxide straight through also. I asked because I have a mixed lot of silver doors and red doors and wasn’t sure what was correct for the 1950’s. Maybe I’ll leave them a mixed lot. Once I get a few projects finished I plan on adding sound to a couple cars just for show. I need to do some research on how those cars were used.
Jeff, you really need a vacation from everything. Nice progress pictures looks like you came a long way since the tear down.
Rail Road Bridges, the Army Corps Of Engineers (ACOE) issues a dredge and fill permit then that comes to us for the environmental assessment (EA) and final permit for the structure over the water. Then we issue a lightening permit. I don’t really do the permits; I do the waterway use (past, present, future) study, then the coordination during the construction of the bridge. Right now I’m working on a new rolling lift RR bridge and the possible replacement of an AMTRAK bridge. Not to mention the removal of 5 center swing RR bridges built in the 1880’s. I have a ton of kinetic work on my desk, just waiting for the bridge owners to pull the trigger and launch the construction crews.
Diesel has peaked at $4.29/gallon. I remember complaining when fuel hit 85 cents/gallon. Never mind that was 1999 and not that long ago.
Good Morning All,
Just a regular to go please Zoe. Been ok, just incredibly busy of late. We are out every weekend between now and August save one and have several two events at once weekends of which this is one. Was going to Elkhart Lake,now Summit Point instead then back for a day and off to Birmingham. Getting good results so hopefully the craziness is worth it. Won't have a chance to touch the layout or catch up posts for some time. Cheers, J.R.
Morning all...will take all the calories and coffee i can. I took ambien last nihgt to sleep and it always leaves me groggy so forgive my typing if amis htis Am.
TMarsh Did I say I was making abutments? I meant planting trees. Sounds the same I see how you misunderstood. (Whew! That was close. I forgot what Lee did for a living) Well G, between leveling and lowering the "hole" and filling to raise and lowering said "hole" countless times to get the right height, four months may not be all that accurate. The way things go for me, let's just say some where between the first and last try. Which could span 15 minutes to 4.....ever. Back with the shed door. Now, do I want to do it today? Or put it off and pack it around in the back of my truck until I need to haul something else. Decisions, decisions.
Previously Todd said:
Sure sounds like "if you measured for one spot on, but the other needs trimming, then you cut the foam, but NAH...you'd spend four months leveling" CERTAINLY sounds like you are tlaking aobut leveling the faulty bridge abutment FOR FOUR MONTHS!!
That was why I picked on you todd!!!
Jeffrey. SO glad you got a good ckup at teh Drs. the foot Dr will be a pain I am sure. SOmetime the patients know whats best for their bodies. I take 29 prescritptions, nto really a single one I can do without or I fel eh consequences. They are now saying I may have to many and want to try to combine some, bu they are so different in what tehy do. I commiserate with our decrepitude and yo are worse off htan me I think?
last mountain & eastern hogger ...I had this written twice before and when I went to send it, it completley disappeared ... ...Galaxy, We are keeping the fingers crossed that you and your wife will come upon a home that will suit you to a "T". Glad your medical worked out for you as well.

Two things Mountain: 1} I ALWAYS Copy { control c} and hold it til my post gets posted. If it fails, I just have to paste in back in {control v} so I DON'T loose or have to retype what I wrote if it doesn't get posted.
2} WE will hopefully find the "perfect house" but market is very dry here, inventory is low as people are not trading up leaving first timer houses open andon market adn there are no help or incentive programs anymore. It is a Buyers market and some won't list in a buyers market where theymay take a hit on what tehy COULD get.
3} three things actually the colonoscopy went fine, but stil ahve no idea on the cramps cause. One new med eases thepain, I have increased fiber dosesa nd teh gastroenterollgist wnats me and my Dr to go over with fine tooth comb to see what meds can be combined as he thinks maybe all the scripts I take are taking a toll. Thank you for the well wishes.
ULRICH-glad to see your mother improving. You are on the prayer list. MY MIL seems to be doing fine here during hte 6 months of in home Hospice care..but I fear she will go down hill again whent ehy stop the hospice care. ANd FIL is slipping his gears. MOH is ready to tell him to go fly a kite in the woods with lotsof trees to snag it AND to tell him where the bears do their "business" in the woods and HOPEs FIL steps mihgty deep it !!! FIl will be very difficult I think once MIL is gone. MIL is the one from whom all blessings fall, FIL is a grumpy old bitter man.
well what else? will take back more bottles today and put it in the gas tank to top it off. Got $11.20 yesterday promptly spent on 12 hour Sudafed {the good stuff} relief. AS the store MOH works in is in a construction zone as the build a new store in fornt of the old one, so its a mess and the HVAC filtration system doesn't seem to be working well and they of course are going to put ZERO dollars intothe old store! It is not a healty store right now won't for another year until new one is open.
Dunno what else yet. Gotta schedule a 2 year Psych eval appointemnt for update.
Finish some laundry...MAYBE attack that junk/train room again. Or the porch some...should do proch now while cooler temp then do inside a/c'd later.
Well that is enough from me.
Prayer candle is lit for those in need of special thoughts and prayers!

Good Afternoon Folks,
it took me over half an hour to be able to enter the forum - no idea why.
Zoe, a big mug of dark roast and a handful of oatmeal cookies to munch on, please.
My Mom´s still in the IC unit, but her motor cranked up after coughing a little. Docs say that this is not unusual. I know she is in good (and God´s) hands, so I am not worried too much. I am more concerned about my father, who is not able to cope with the situation much longer. He is close to a nervous breakdown. I wish I knew something to cheer him up a little.
My shipment has left customs, so it should arrive at my place tomorrow or the day after. I won´t be there to enjoy its contents ...
TMarsh:
Todd - hey, first signs of age? Closing in on 50, aren´t you? Cheer up mate, there is a life beyond that magic figure, and not a bad one!
Galaxy - take your time! I know for sure that the house you want to have is around, waiting for you. Unearthing a treasure always takes a little time
We had a little rain this morning, not enough to kill the forest and swamp fires we have in this region. It did wonders to my hay fever, though.
Jeff - I am in love with those littles scenes you have posted.
Well, I´ll be out again. Have a good one!
Morning all,
Flo I would love a cup of coffee please.
Not much going here. At w**k again today. High today is supposed to be 94 and humid. The Pennsy historical society is having their annual meeting this week and I was not able to attend.
Well, I'm off. I will talk to you all later.
