OK Flo, it is Beer thirty!
OK, got to go! Just sat down from cutting the backyard and Sue want's me to start cooking.

I hate Rust
Good afternoon everyone! I'm sorting through all of the detail parts that arrived with the HO layout donated to the museum. I never got the chance to see most of the locomotives or rolling stock since the family was allowed to pick through it first. This means that we will have to use our own locomotives and cars, but that's ok, we have a lot of extras we're currently not using anyway. My oldest son Shane and his friend took our brass BR&P steam whistle to a steam and gas engine meet yesterday, and they rigged it up to the steam line from an old tractor. Shane said it worked great and still has a terrific sound to it. I haven't heard it yet, but he has a nice video for me to see.
Ken, I know the feeling, sometimes a few beers are needed! I as well have to get mowing hopefully tomorrow, plus a lot of other things that aren't getting the attention that they did when dad was around. Now I have two cars to care for, something I haven't dealt with since I had to sell my old Corvette 8 years ago. Oh well, life goes on!
Have a good evening, all!
Stan
Afternoon folks.
Flo, Diet Dew pleases.
Gang, sorry for the silly stuff I did yesterday. I was really down in the dumps and crawled in to a beer can. I am paying for it today! I woke up last night around 1:00 AM and could not fall back to sleep till 6:30 AM. When Sue got up, I went back to the bedroom and sleep till 10:00 AM.
While I feel like warmed up death, I am in a better frame of mind.
Just got the front yard cut, what a mess. I have sitting own now for only 20 minutes. Wife has all ready came out and asked when was i going to cut the back grass. Then i have to BBQ. Oh well.
Curt, happy belated
Good morning. It's 73° and partly cloudy. The high will be 85°.I won't be doing much today as I'm light headed and somewhat dizzy and my back and chest are hurting. Throw a bit of confusion into the mix as well. Just some of the possible side effects of the meds I take everyday. Usually they don't bother me but some days, like today they make themselves known. They can cause worse side effects but fortunately they rarely appear. I think this would be a good day to turn off the phone and crawl back into bed. I hope everyone else has a good day.

Good morning, Chloe. Coffee with my cinnamon roll. I will take the one that has the extra frosting on it.
Terry, We made flat car loads the the extra plastic wheel sets. A little glue and you have removable flat car loads.
The art show at the WWFair was huge. Today we plan to chill.

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Morning All,
Got less than 5 hours of sleep last night between our daughter being in the ER (dropped a can of paint on her already injured foot) and driving my son to class this morning. I used to handle that a lot better than I do now. We had ops night at the club last night and I ran a couple of coal drags using the BF-16's.
The deadbolt on the front door quit working last night (key part). I took it apart before leaving the house this morning but still couldn't get the key to turn so before returning home I stopped and picked up a new deadbolt. The family will be over around 6 PM. Today I would like to decal the cab numbers on my American 4-4-0.
Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes.
Hope everyone has a Good day and prayers for those in need.

Morning Coffee
I over slept, and the one eye that is open now tells me it is Sunday....
We often say "O.K. or OKAY, Or OK"...do you know where it came from???
okay/OK/O.K. - Okay is one of the most commonly questioned and debated expressions origins. 'OK' and 'okay' almost certainly had different origins, although the meanings were all similar and now have completely converged. There are various sources of both versions, which perhaps explains why the term is so widely established and used:
-G .
Just my thoughts, ideas, opinions and experiences. Others may vary.
HO and N Scale.
After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Good Sunday morning, Diners!
Jeremy, you are correct! The real season starts at 3:00pm my time. GO PACKERS
Anyone want 60 cars worth of plastic wheelsets? Spent the day installing new IM metal sets. Only need 3 more 100 count bulk packs to finish my fleet! Boy, am I ever glad I GLEAMED the track 3-4 years ago. I haven't run trains much since April and besides a little dust and cobweb wiping ( all of 10 minutes), all I did was fire up the Digitrax and away we went! FUN! The new wheelsets seemed to improve the derailment count, too. Only had 1 and that was a lead SD40 because somebody missed returning a switch to the main.(me). Love those IM sets!
Today's a new day, things will be better. Hope and prayers for those that need'em.

What PIE? Where? I'se innocent I tell you!!
Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow if I'm feeling up to it.
Evenin' folks!
Janie just a decaf please...
Currently 59·F outside... Fall is now here in the Finger Lakes. My crab apple tree and the neighbors have already given up and lost all their leaves. Got some strong storms through here today. there were a few limbs down around town, but nothing I saw major around here. Got a half inch of rain out of them though.
Galaxy, hope your trailer held up to the storms and the inside didn't get too wet with the roof problem.
Barry, glad to hear the wetlands are back.. or was it you that has the wetlands in the back of your property you don't like...??? Put the pie down!
Ken, you sound depressed! Drowning it won't help... In the long run, anyway. You do want to keep your toes don't you... Watch the sugar levels, my friend.
I used up all the packages of railbars I had left today. Guess what is not back in stock yet? The first two don't count, BTW. I did get enough done so I can get about half the hand laid track weathered before moving one to installing a grade and more track that will go over a gorge and become the return loop in the new room.
I will need to be out at the R&GV RR Museum tomorrow, so I think I will call it a day... Prayers for everyone...

Hi Guys
Stopped in for a quick Visit.
It was really coming down this morning, couldn't see the house across the street in fact. It cleared up this afternoon and its nice and cool out there ( 63F) really starting to feel like fall. Anybody else excited that football starts tomorrow? well I guess it started last Wednesday but the Packers play tomorrow so tomorrow is my opening day.
Had my RC tanks out after the rain today, got the tracks caked in mud and weeds real good. So I am off to clean them up and maybe grab something to eat.

Afternoon folks
Flo Beer Pleases
Have not done a single thing today that i should have! Giving my Y6 B (pulling 40 cars) a work out and my liver! (on beer 8 and no where near stopping) Plus I have not ate a darn thing today. When I die, I just assume to have do me in.
pascaff*Ken - Don't you hate working on commission? I sure do. I think it is an outdated concept, especially in the business I am in. Too much focus on $ and not enough on customer service in my opinion.
Currently 64 with an expected high of 91 under partly cloudy skies
Been absent for a few days here, mostly do to work schedule and hospital visits. Some good news there though. Wife has her appetite back, she can taste food and is enjoying it. All infections are in check and only one anti-biotic is being administered. She can get up without nurses assistance. Surgical masks are no longer required when entering her room. So far no adverse effects to the chemo, but she has only gotten one round, the next will be in about 12 days.
A/C guy fixed the unit. It blew a capacitor. He only charged me for parts and labor, not a service call. We are about 35 miles from the shop.
Curt -
Ken - Don't you hate working on commission? I sure do. I think it is an outdated concept, especially in the business I am in. Too much focus on $ and not enough on customer service in my opinion.
Jeff - Sounds like you may have over done it. Take it easy.
Today I have to do some grocery shopping, laundry, cut the front lawn, and maybe pull some weeds. If I have the time I will also go to the hospital and visit my wife.
Prayers to those in need.

Mornin' I think? Yep it is morning gthough almost as dark as night out there....
Galaxy, thanks for the warning! I would have slept right through the drenching downpour, thunder and lightning, and 40 MPH winds we just had... It was coming down in buckets about the time I sat down for breakfast this morning, and I thought the neighbors tree would come down on top of the trailer from the electric company parked in my driveway! Wind was out of the South, very unusual for here.
Zoe, already had breakfast, but I sure could use more dark roast coffee, Ma'am.
Oh:
Hope you have a fine day Curt!
Jeffrey, it sounded last night that you would be moving slowly today... Take care of yourself!
I think today shall be mostly spent in the train rooms. Tomorrow I w*rk as a Docent/Museum Guide so I hope the weather is a bit better...
I best get moving as we are under a severe thunderstorm warning for the next hour or so!
Later!
A little point of comedy. Like the ant that moved the rubber tree plant I think there's high hopes at play here!
Morning Fellow Dinners
Flo, pleases.
I am not sure if I am disappointed or not this morning. I was asked to work today, I was scheduled off but I need the hours so I said yes. This morning I got a call that I was not needed today. Seems the new shop opening has been postpone till next week and all the people that where going to be working at the new store getting it ready are working in the current store today. Eric (New Manager) said they have 7 people working up front. (counter where I work)
I was counting on working 50 hours this coming week, so I am disappointed about that. But, on the other hand this would be my 7th day in a row so i am all so glad to be off. Plus I am off Sunday, first two days off in a row after going back to work.
Grass is looking God Awful so I know what I will be doing today.
See you all later!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO THE BIRTHDAY BOY!!!
with lots of and , even though you don't want to "make a big deal out of it"!!!
Happy Birthday Curt !!!
Curt!!!
Curt WebbTomorrow the family is coming over for supper because it's my 56th birthday. I did not want to make a big deal out of it-just another day but MOH has other plans.
Good morning, Diners. I need a black coffee before we run. I slept until 6:30. Write that down, because that almost never happens.
It was in the high 90's yesterday. When I got home it was only 93 here.
Today, we plan to go to the Puyullap Fair. We are checking out the art exhibit. Larry might enter next year.
He is still tweaking on my Shay painting.
Happy Birthday, Curt.
Sitting here drinking some coffee. Only plans today are to go to the LHS and then to the club later on, so a nice MRR day. Tomorrow the family is coming over for supper because it's my 56th birthday. I did not want to make a big deal out of it-just another day but MOH has other plans. The good news is I get Swiss steak and Blackberry cobbler out of it-both favorites of mine.
Hope everyone has a good day and prayers for those in need.
