***Jerry, hope your son didn't have any damage done from the natural gas. Had plenty of exposure to some chemicals myself over the years and they can mess you up.
***Scott, I'll send you Barbara's cell phone number, because we usually leave the land-line phone unplugged. It is very rare I leave the farm, so even if you just showed up, the chances are I'll be here. See you soon and have a safe drive down.
Power went out this morning. Nice to have it back on. Have a great day all!
Rob

Amen!
Good Morning, Zoe! Cup of TH please.
We're supposed to get some rain today or tomorrow. Down in the Missouri Bootheel (south of me), a few places have already got a little rain this morning. We're ready for some moisture here (even though I, unlike some of you, don't have a garden that's parched).
Ed, good to hear you didn't get drenched by Felix, and will be able to get to the orange grove soon. Think our supply of your good OJ here in the Diner had been getting a little low, so it's just in time.
On the topic of the Diner in (HO) scale, I'd been debating about using an old Model Die Casting/Roundhouse kit (Harriman passenger car) for a Diner about like this, though it'd be rather smaller than the Diner's abundant space. Now, maybe I could find another MDC Harriman kit on eBay to put with the other one, and...
Time for me to get going. Prayers for comfort, peace and healing, and rain for those of you whose areas are needing it.
Blessings on your Hump Day,
Good morning ! from Indiana.

Hey, Did Philip save any pie? It looks pretty yummy.
We had a wild thunder and lightning storm here last night. There was water standing everywhere this morning. We had almost a wopping 1/2 inch. For this neck of the woods, that is plenty this time of year.
It is my bed time, so I will be off.

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Hey y'all.
How about a nice mug of chocolate milk? Thank ya.
NORFOLK SOUTHERN UPDATE:
Only a week and a half until I head down to McDonough, Georgia to start training. Got The Cherry Bomb, my car, in the shop gettin' new tires, brakes, oil, coolant, belts, and a good goin' over to make sure that she's ready for the 700 miles down, followed by who knows how many miles around Georgia, and then 700 miles back home. I'm gonna say 1500 miles plus easily on my ROAD TRIP for trains.
Rob: Yes, I still plan on dropping by the farm when I'm down there. I don't know when exactly, I'll have to see how the whole training schedule goes. But I'll be down there from the 16th to around the 29th or 30th.
I'm out y'all. Have a good one.

Good evening everyone, visited the LHS today in Warren, Ma, Bob is back from vacationing on the coast of Maine. I picked up a couple of Atlas Trainman New Haven 70 ton 9 panel Hoppers, $12.95 each. The detail is surprisingly good, metal wheels, weighted nicely, hard to beat for the price. I also picked up more ME code 83 track and another book to read, Steam Locomotives of the New York Central Lines.
The garden is turning into a "dust bowl", I have one soaker hose going night and day so that the Butternut squash develops properly before harvesting laster this month. The Broccoli is hanging on nicely, as well as the Green Peppers, but everything else is just about history except for two Zuchinni plants.
I finally settled on a swing gate for the layout, I was inspired by whay Ryan had done. I was unable to use this type until I reorganized the work area to allow for a swing open gate. I picked up the materials for that today and work starts tomorrow pending any changes in the HDJ.
JEFF: I missed that thread, what was it? I don't recognize the coding. I like what the new camera is producing, you will be very busy with that model.
ED: Glad to hear that even the rains will miss you. From what the WC was showing yesterday, it sure looked like the heavy rains would get you.
STEVE: Glad to see you back in the Diner ....what have you been up to??
I have a thread in the General Forum that seems to have many of the MRR's stumped. I am trying to find if anyone makes/has made, 2-6-6T and 4-6-6T in HO scale. I am not having much luck searching, and it seems like no one else knows anything either. This were Double Enders, used on the B&A ( later owned by the NYC ). You can see a photo of the engine and integral tender on the thread that I started.
The wife is all excited...the Red Sox just scored 4 runs, I have to go see hwat that is all about.... later guys !!

Good, cause I've got a coach in mind. (And because it came up on one of the first pages, a caboose as a church. :P
Evening Gang:
Jeff: I missed the goings on at WPF. I'll say this though. I think that you have fun and enjoy yourself. Your photos have given me a shove to get some things going and besides that I enjoy them. As for those others there they can suck an egg. You just keep those photos coming here where they are appreaciated. We'll be richer and the others will be poorer. Most important take care of yourself. Just consider the source. By the way, how did those Uncle Petes sneck in? ( I clicked on it. )
I spent another day playing heavy equipment operator. That big wheel loader bucks like a bronc going down the road. We have moved about 300 yards of fill and finished the washout. We may go back later with the dump trailer and add some more fill to the creek side. Tomorrow we have to clean out the creek crossings and patch some spots that are rough. Well I'm going to bed. My upper back is aching so I'll give it a rest.
Good Night All

well, there;s the messier alternative...

I'll have the usualin a Southern mug tonight,

***Duke, those are neat autos. What fun! I remember when I was a wee lad, doing a rally with an Unlce who had a cool MG & numerous Minis. I loved riding with him in his custom MG. He had his friend take me down Brea Canyon (I think that is what the steep windy road was called) in his racing Mini and it was definitely a rush.
***Jeffrey, extra nice pic there.
I was going to find a train headed west, but the tracks are too far away. Then the wife came home and gave me a present she found while out with "It" today. She gave me a Train Flag. It looks like a green European Loco, even though it says Southern #32 on it's side. Looks like an 0-6-4 with built in mini-tender area under the rear trucks. It's pulling three small passenger cars. Although not something I would have spent any money on, it shows her big heart, (and maybe some guilt for bringing "It" here). I know, I'm not being very kind, but YOU try walking on eggshells in your own home, wondering what will set off that Jekyll/hyde switch Rant is over now. Thinking HAPPY thoughts.
mmmm...excellent pie! Rob
Best of luck on the crop.
hey, would the Elliot mind if the Diner were to be homaged on my HO&N line? (if we ever put track down...)
Good Evening Coffee Clubbers,
Another beautiful day here in Paradise. And, unfortunately, another day with no progress on the layout, although I did make up a train and ran a few laps, just to keep the railheads clean.
CG Jim: Hope Ed isn't getting too much of Felix's rains and it's way south of him (and stays south of him). Actually, for the sake of the folks that way, hope Felix fades out ASAP!
Now that we haven't had any significant rain in a couple of days, and with the threat of a visit by Felix gone, we can start thinking about heading out to the orange grove and checking on the crop. I'll keep you updated.
No more photos today, I need to edit and upload some more.
Later
Ed
