I WAS NOT EATING PIE ALL NIGHT!!!!
Chow time, think I'll have a cheesy grease burger, onion rings n iced tea. Hey Zoe whats this rumor I heared bout me being in here eatin pies all night. Oh, it weren't me, never left the place last night [less I was sleep eaten]. Wonderin who bribe who and got me in trouble with PC. He wouldn't he'd do it, then again blame me, would he?????. Just a thought, hasn't he been known to eat all the pies before??
Gotta another hot n humid one here today, 90 plus a 65% chance of rain, mostly north n east of me through Sat. Hopefully, we'll get more than enough to settle the dust, like the last time, getten mighty dry round here.
Nothing new, just kids n chores, only one here today and she's old enough not to need much watching [17].
DUKE,, great pics you posted from ST. LOU, and GARRY you too for the IC layout. I enjoyed both sets.
JEFF,, glad your moms doing some betters, hope they figure out what's going on soon. We've still go her in our thoughts.

Hey PC there are 50 stacks of dishes 20ft high. You will be glad I got the bigger dish washer, cause now you have 2 dishwashers, or did the Fergimister chuck the other dishwasher that came for the old Diner?
What's the Cloe?
He did!? When?
Last night when our beloved pie man was on his 300th Pie and Jeff was taking all the Canned mashed potatos he could carry to the depot? Amazing.
And it looks like I might be joining PC.

Good morning.
Severe drought conditions continuing here. If it continues another few weeks, I may change my moniker to "Death Valley Scotty". Seriously. This area needs folks to pray for rain here. It's impacting the livelihoods of farmers and their employees.
Our local phone service (or lack there of) was disconnected for maybe about 14 hours or more. I hope that's not an indication of what to expect now that AT&T took over BellSouth. Just got reconnected.
Yesterday, we (Gus & I) went to see Clay's layout under construction about 40 miles from here. Really neat L&N layout.
Duke ....... nice photos. If you took one of B&O #50, I bet Bobk would appreciate that. When I was at the St Louis museum the MILW bi-polar electric (your picture) was coupled to B&O 50. Of course, the neatest engine there is "Silver Charger" in my opinion. I recall seeing a UP Big Boy and Centenial diesel, a Santa Fe Texas type, and a NYC Niagra. Also, quite a collection of passenger cars. I'd have to dig through my photos to refresh my memory for some others.........and yes, I'll try a T. H. hot choclate......... a T. H. donut, too but don't tell on me to Bill.
Hoople, I'm glad you like the E9. It's a nce engine, and with Life Like's life time warrantee, you should have no problems in the future.
Colby's playing baseball and James in Oz is playing cricket. Have fun, guys.
Philip. Careful. Your credit card is gonna melt. Reminds me, last year, Shelley took 5 year old grand daughter shopping and was about to make her purchase with a Master Card. Grandaughter said: "Grandma, you can't use a credit card. You have to use a debit card because a credit card will make you pay interest." ......... Obviously, Son and DIL are teaching the little kids about family finances at an early age. Anyhow, it makes a cute story.
Happy Model Railroading

Good morning all. Coffee please. I got called in to work for a coworker who is ill. So I guess another day away from your stimulating conversation.
Duke, Warm weather here has been in the 80's, but a light drizzle this morning. Great photos.

MAN!!!!

I guess you can call them anything you want, except late for dinner.
I'll have the same as Jeff.
Jeff: Good to hear that your mom is home. I'll keep her in my prayers on getting better.
I got some of the far back yard mowed today. I had to stop mowing and trim trees and bushes. I trimed all the way down to the Scottsbridge bridge. Thats a couple of hundred yards. I'll have to get out the Round UP and spray the weeds on the track. I did get to the shop and do some work on the hopper car kit that I got several months ago. I laid out the parts and checked to make sure that everything was there, it was. I need to get some 1/2 inch fender washers that are 1/8 inch thick. I use these to space the trucks from the frame.You need to have about 1/8 inch clearance on the side rub points of the trucks. I also have to add some more frame spreaders at the car bolsters. The bolsters don't go all the way to the side frame.
Time for bed here.
Ed: when you get NOB give me a call.
Good Night All

Hope she gets to feeling better. I've been praying for her.
Hey guys,
Well tried to go to that yard but it's NS property so we couldn't. =[ So we went to the local commrence building (an old station) to go railfanning there because less than 15 ft from the back of the buliding is active freight tracks. No luck there.... I went with my parents because they don't want me to go railfanning I tried to act responsible and alll and be safe. When I got home I asked my mom "So what do you think about me railfanning every once in a while?", her response "Absolutly not." I'm upset at her but didn't act like it. I guess the reason she won't let me is because her freind commited suicied on the tracks.... I want to railfan very badly but I don't know what to do. Anyway at the commrence building they had a retired caboose on display it's a NW caboose. Got some pics. of that. I'll get them up later.
well be back later...

Afternoon all
JimCG No it wasn't mud,it was just the glass was fogged up and wouldn't you know it,the one I needed to get those pics.
OZ Good to see you back and the reports are all false that you fell of the bottom of the world.
PC That is the unfortunate facts of the new privacy laws that have been enacted.
Garry Yup,Timmy Horton's are up this way and would you settle for a cup of their hot chocolate as I am not a coffee drinker. Their HC is some of the best I have ever had and the donuts aren't bad either, but we will let Bill keep his job in that department.
Ok,now we will start getting into some of the good stuff,in pics that is.
Oh TrolleyRob where are you
That's about it for today
Best to all on sick call and those recovering
Talk to you later
