Good Morning Modelers!
Another month is gone and a new one at hand. Already 70F here heading for yet another 90+ day by the looks of things; missing those Alaska 60's I has enjoying last week.
All the digital photos have been download and backups are in progress. Got 25.8G of video downloaded and processes which is about 25% and will still need to get a backup of that still. No travel blog entries yet for the trip posted but will let folks know when each are there.
My thoughts out to all in need...

Morning Folks
Flo, Coffee Pleases
Called last night and they did not get my car brake lines fixed. All well, I still have Sues car to drive. Break lines go bad was not a surprises, our first Town Car lines rusted out right at 120,000 miles. Seems a little odd. My Road Runners lines are the original ones.
Far as trusting the shop to fix the lines. 2 of the Mechanic I trust, the other one (Bob) is good with what he knows how to do. Throw his a curve, he may very well drop the ball.
Work today from 10:00 to 7:00, then I am off Thursday so I can have the Surgeon's look at my foot and see how the graft is doing.
Gary, good luck and hope all goes well.
Got some calls to make then off to work.

I hate Rust
Great diner, MrB. Chloe, it looks quiet in here today, I will take a large coffee, please.
If I make it through the work day today, I won't work until the 14th. WooHoo!

Good morning. Yeah, opening up a business is a lot of work, isn't it?
New England is under cloudy skies right now. It's not beach weather, but I'm much happier with moderate weather. The AC has been off for a week, and a couple of nights not even the fans have been running. And I'm waking up much more refreshed from a solid night's sleep.

Good Morning!!!
Coffee and a bologna sandwich with lettuce and tomato please. Thanks.
Sunny and hot, with a high near 98.
Garry- Prayers going out for todays surgery.
Barry- Hope you get some good news as well.
Paul- Hope your wife gets better soon.
I see DerJohn blew in just in time before they closed the door. Good to see him.
Ray- I think a cell phone is a good idea. I too hate the phone for what sounds like the same reasons you do. The intrusive calls that interrupt things and those that well, just annoy you. Me. Us. I just love those that ask you 'what took you so long to get to the phone?" or when they see you ask you "why you didn't answer the phone when they calle" like all I have to do is wait for their call. Or I have to drop what I'm doing because they are just that important. Oh the phone can be so rude. Rining in the middle of a show, interrupting dinner or a conversation with no regard for politeness. BUT I think a cell phone is a good idea as you are never far from assistance AND if the right plan is shopped for, cheaper than a home phone long distance included and you don’t have to be home to use it. Never more than a foot from the Grand daughters.
OK, today I get a good fling at the bathroom. No, the vinyl isn’t all up. I know, I know. No excuse, but after all my other shtuff was done yesterday I just didn’t feel like finishing the removal, which I easily could have, before w**k. Well that and the History channel had some thing about the real wolfman which turned out to be a Hyena. Interesting about the silver bullet though. But ToDAY! Today I have nothing to do but the floor…….. So far.
Ya’ll have a good day!!!!

Gidday All, Meridian , Mississippi , had to have a "google" , a town with a strong railroad history and a Naval Air Station, trains and planes, got to be a good place for a diner.
Just a quick hot chocolate before bed please. 1142 hours and currently 51 F with an expected high of 55 F tomorrow with more rain.
Thoughts and best wishes to all that need them,

Good Morning All,
Ken, good luck, my break lines cost me $1,053.00 but I had to have both front rotors repaired. Well actually they had a sale on the rotors so replacing both front cost the same as the replacement parts. The break line from the firewall to the rear axle had to be replaced. I had to have it done at the dealership so I’m sure I paid top dollar on labor.
I got the bill for my surgery in the mail; insurance covered everything except $25 of the $5,000.00 bill so I won’t mind writing that check. I was expecting a $67,000 bill or something.
I see we hit 71 pages last month….
Once I get the bill for the second mortgage (that I have almost paid off) I need to call them and see if they would consider loaning me the money for a new driveway. Not something I really want to do, but it is something that needs to be done.

Good Morning from KindaHotVille...
It seems to be already sticky out, even if it is only 70F....Going to a high near 85F feeling like 97F...and no rain forecast.
Today, later on in the afternoon I will find out if'n more ding dang fricking fracking treatments are needed...I hope not...
Then, maybe afterwards, going to go by the mall and pick up some things to make the evening go by with a good taste..

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Well, gee, young sakel,
When you move the diner, you are also to: polish the rivet counter, sweep/mop the floors, clean the windows, empty the trash, do the dishes, fill the ice bin, polish the side walls and clean the restrooms!!!!
I see you have DONE none of that! get to work!
ALso request from a moderator to LOCK THE old thread!!!! Darren {storubridge lion} is a user-mod..ask him to lok the old thread becasue otherwise some of us knuckleheads will still be posting there!
