Good morning, Zoe - I'll have some scrambled eggs with ham, glass of Ed's OJ, and a cup of coffee, please. Thanks, Jeff!

Had a fairly quiet night last night. Only called out once (1:00), to the ER, and that was all done and back in my bed an hour and a half later. Luckily, I'd gone to bed earlier than usual, too.
Weather for Cape G. area today is possibility of rain, 61 F currently with 90 percent humidity and the barometer at 29.72 inches and rising. Supposed to reach all the way to 69 F this afternoon (clouds will be keeping the temps down, I suppose), and isolated thunderstorms. So Inch, PC, Dan and and those east of me, you may still be getting (more) rain today.
About my time to get ready to go work do the day shift thing again. Hope everyone gets a break in the clouds so the sun peeks through. Hope Hoople maybe gets a chance to play with the Consoildation today (without younger brother's "assistance"). Prayers for those awaiting word from the doctors and those in need of healing.
Blessings on your day,
Jim in Cape Girardeau
Hello everyone,
Just oatmeal and orange juice for me this morning. Worked on the layout (wiring) until late last night. We're leaving today for a few days to visit family in Ohio and in Michigan. I'll check in here if I get a chance.
Have fun.

Good Morning All,
A regular and the farmers special sounds good this morning. Rain has stopped and the sun is trying to break through the clouds so lets hope. I see Bill and Inch were in already and Inch has gone out to get his honey-do's done. Hope you get a couple of minutes in on the layout Inch - pics showed a lot of progress.
Still beavering away on the Lotus 11 and speaking of that I'd best get this breakfast finished and move back to the shop. CUL, J.R.
mORNIN, I have coffee an the farmers special Zoe
Haven't gotten the rain like was forecast [less than 1"] so far but it's not over yet. We still have a chance for more today into tomorrow.
COLBY, interesting pics of the bridge, I think I remember seeing that on the news.
HOOPLE, good to hear the engine arrived, if it you can't fool with it right now.
No kids today, inbetween school bus runs,, and with the weather forecast, I figure on some time in the train room. I could use a break from every thing else. Couse I still have the have to choirs and a couple honey-do's to get done. Hope ya'll has a good day and stay dry.

Good morning ! from Indiana.

Near a cornfield in Indiana...
Good evening gents, just got on the PC after a long day. We headed off to Warren, Ma to my favorite HS, bought two cars and two new books, one book was a guide to all the depots and freight houses in Southern NE, the 2nd was a new book on steam in Southern New England, many pictures of locomotives and their history that ran on the lines in this area.
We ate at the Palmer Train Depot, now called the Steaming Tender, right at the Diamond. While we were there an 85 car train rolled east carrying all car carriers. Later , 4 Diesel units headed back west.
JEFF: Good progress on the layout, looks like you put in a full days work !
PAUL: The weather news on the Boston station here said that a tornado did some sewrious damage in Texas in four counties, 7 people dead, was that near you?
TIFN
Good Eveniing All,
If there's to be a pie throwing contest I could be persuaded to be the target though I much prefer my pie - ala mode.
Paul - I like the modulars as well. Easier to build as I needn't bother with the directions and none of the easily available stuff was big enough. I might see if some of the newer high rise jobs are good but in the mean time I have an eye on the DPM modular on sale with Walthers and I think it's Vickies' Fashions from City Classics. I like the look of the brick buildings a lot so once the large factories are done more of those might sprout in town. I'm also thinking of a small commuter station at track level on the elevated section but I want to wait to see how the rest works out for space. The other thing is finding a small station that is made in a style that fits the area. Most urban stops are block or brick and most model stations seem to be wood.Lots to ponder anyway while i get back to it for a bit before turning in. CUL,J.R.
Evening Gang: Well I was wrong about the lakes being full. We checked out Lake Weatherford today and it looks like it's still 4 to 5 ft. low. I saw on TV that a bunch of the lakes in N. Texas are still up to 6ft low. I guess we still need rain. It's going to take a while yet to break this drought. It is looking a whole lot better though.
Hoople: I hope that the consolidation got there. If it didn't it will be there for sure tomorrow.
JR: The second factory looks good. I made a building out of DPM moduals. I like working with the moduals but sometimes I get builders block. One of these days I'll drag it out and finish it.
The storm last night didn't cause any damage around here but some homes east of us lost there roofs and some trees were down. The best news was no one was injured. With that I'll head for bed.
Good Night All

Hey, Chloe - a cup to go, please. Thanks Jeff - and the 'concrete' apron and road look great. You have been busy.
Dan, haven't seen you for a while - have you been in the Diner since we moved here? Good to see you again. Oh, that might be enough pies for PC, but we're gonna need bigger ones, I think.
Got to go for now - see everyone in the morning!
Blessings and a good night,
Hey guys
I thought to stop by for a quick cup of coffee
I've been just a little bit busy today.
What pie?
I don't even like pie!
Good evening, Chloe - I heard some hollering and what sounded like frying pans banging against something.... Oh, I brought a gallon of vanilla ice cream and one of chocolate ice cream. There wasn't any last night, so I skipped having any pie without ice cream. So if there's any apple pie left, just put a scoop of the vanilla on it, please. What?!... PC!!!

Well, I don't know if Hoople got the Connie today, but my computer stuff arrived. Already have the drive in place, formatted, and copied my files from the smaller (original) drive over to it. Hopefully, Mark's not being in since earlier means that he got his package and he's trying it out.
JR, we got some blue mugs for those wanting a different color, too.
Ed, hope you have a fun trip and reunion (and trip to the N-S-LHS).
I'll probably be looking over some MRR books tonight if I don't get called out (and I hope to have a calm evening). Hope everyone has an enjoyable evening.
Blessings, and a good evening,

There is a pie filling shortage and the cooks (cloe and Zoe) have resorted to using used rail spikes.
No wounder why the pies taste rusty
Better leave before the twins get the frying pans

What is it about pie.
Shouldn't we be railroadin', not talkin about food?
How much did that ice cream cost?
