tree68 Q - Home is good. I'm all schooled out. EMS classes Thursday evening and all day Friday, then NORAC rules class Saturday. Add to that working at the PBS auction Friday night after class, and a two hour drive to get to (and back from) rules class, and I'm beat. I made the mistake of stopping in at the TV station on the way home Saturday night and ended up "selling" a half dozen boards since the expected auctioneer didn't show. Looking forward to sleeping in Sunday morning. Time for bed.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Well, niece is finally awake, although she is not talking to anyone yet, not even the doctor(s). Apparently, she took something, and she ended up under her daddy's truck, shaking uncontrollably, from what I've been told.
For supper tonight:
Items from the grill: hamburgers, brats, steak, pork chops, chicken, and some veggie kabobs.
Side dishes: potato salad, mac & cheese, baked beans, tossed salad, fresh sliced tomatoes and some cantaloupe chunks or slices (have both)
Desserts: "Death by Chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake w/white icing, peach cobbler w/vanilla ice cream and homemade banana split sundaes
Hey Joe, watched the last half of the Reds game: glad to say they won, 6 to 5 over the Astros. It was a good game, at least the last half that I saw.
Everyone have a good evening, take care and see you all tomorrow.
.....Paula....I hope your Prayers are answered for your niece.
Our recovery struggle continues, and appreciate all Prayers.
We are home. Jean wanted so bad to smell the fresh air outside today, and we managed to get that done....Walk from front door around on the sidewalk to the back patio, and back. Temp then was 62 degrees.
This coming week is to be in the 70's and maybe low 80's....with possible rain at times.

This is a picture taken of the parking lot next to our house, by our sidewalk, about 1 1/2 hours after the hail storm Saturday night. Sarah's Jeep barely visible. And will have to have a new soft top put on. She and I spent part of this afternoon with a roll of Gorilla Tape patching the top. The hail was marble size mostly, and some slightly larger.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Wow, I go away on my usual 10,000 mile trip for work, and everybody goes to the hospital or passes on. Thoughts and prayers to all involved......
Home for a much needed vacation this week, will be spent getting projects done around the house. Plans are to clean up the landscaping around the house, redo our garden area, repaint our living room and finish some trim work (swapping the last of the pine for oak), and possibly get the bathroom repainted. Already got about half of our retaining walls in for the garden, dad and I spent five hours doing that Sunday. The old railroad ties definitely needed to go, one was so rotted out that it came up in pieces.
Weather for today is clouds and a bit of rain, so will probably spend today in the basement getting the new trim stained and varnished, and probably working on a small railroad for around the christmas tree.
See everyone later......

Good Monday morning everyone. Hope you all had a very good day yesterday. Slept in this morning, only been up almost an hour. But I've got coffee going, and have the juices made, along with other morning beverages. Even have some iced tea ready for today. It was 65 degrees when I awoke, and we're to get up to about 85 degrees this afternoon. We do have a chance of the hit and miss showers/thunder showers, will be more likely tomorrow afternoon towards evening.
Quentin and others, thanks for the prayers for my niece. Haven't heard anything new, since around 5, 6 p.m. yesterday. At that time, she still wasn't talking to anyone. Will check in later and see how she's doing.
Q, with this nice weather, maybe Jean will feel like sitting out in the sun/shade a little bit again today.
Everyone have a good day, take care and see you all later.
Good Morning Railfans!
It's Monday. Can you say Monday. Sure I knew you could.

Randy - truck driver turned house flipper? Sounds like you could do better than what I see on tv!
Waiting to see if our resident chicken reacts to the chicken through the window thread.
Cold & damp yesterday. Just could not warm up at all. Today sun is back and supposed to be in 80's all week. I would have settled for just 70's all week after only 50 yesterday.
SLion - "Mundaney".......no plans for all week. Get to pick and choose what we want to do.
Q - I knew mah cheeseburger and chocolate cake would help Jean. It always makes me feel better....
a tad muggy here in nw ohio.chance of rain but warmer all week.work is busy busy again.a detroit edison coal train was still in the siding when I left work this morning.Modelcar great news for your wife.Cw thanks for supper.
Seems like Louisville getting more that their share of storms lately. We need lots of rain on this side of the river.
Mookie Randy - truck driver turned house flipper? Sounds like you could do better than what I see on tv!
Whilst growing up on a farm does make one pretty handy, I do know my limitations, and I won't hesitate to call in outside help for things. I do let my sister pick out the decor, though, I'm not a big decorator.....
Dad came over with two yards of pulverized topsoil for the garden today, he has a nice one-ton dump truck that made placing it easy: Back up to garden, dump, and spread. Now just need to get his rotor tiller over to till up the upper half, and I'll be ready to build the upper retaining wall.
See everyone later....
Wow,
I gotta check in here more often...
Walt, duct tape will last about a week, had to do top, rear roll up window on my old Wrangler, went whole hog and got fancy half doors with sliding windows and new sun visors to boot!
Of course, down here the top is off 9 month out of the year, but...
Paula, the Astros are always on the outs, its normal for them!
Quentin, let Jean set her pace if you can stand it, at some point she will get tired of being "tired" and improve faster than you imagine she could.
Mookie, tossing mudchickens at windows may not be good for the tossers health, I sure wouldn't want him PO'ed at me!
Johnny, so sorry to hear of your Ricki's passing...I won't tell you it gets better with time,(it really doesn't) but it does become bearable and you do start to remember the good times more and more.
Glad you had her for as long as you did, most folks don't get that, and I hope Aimee and I have as long a run.
Been in the lower 80s all last week, sporadic rain on and off, more off than on, and pollen form just about everything there is growing here all over everything.
The swamp is getting ready for summer...there are only two seasons here, summer and not summer, which lasts about 2 months, (February and March)....

Maybe the Gorilla Tape will last about a week and a half then! She was wanting/needing a new top anyway, just didn't want to have to get it this soon; and this way. Although......this one is about 10 years old. She got the Sliding windows last year.(and sun visors.)
......Jean back to E R and admitted around noon.
She could not eat nor drink to gain strength, and terrible pain when she tried to do so...
Had to take action today....
They now found an ulser and she had gotten a Pottasium pill stuck one night in the hospital, and they are saying that burned it to an ulser or opened up an old one. Xrays showed it..
Small camera to take a look at it tomorrow morning....Then treatment.
She was elated tonight they somehow got hot soup, and with I V's going, and she called me after I got home {after she got settled in a room}....Before we got to the hospital, she barely could keep her head up and eyes open.
So that has been our terrible pain maker.....and now we Pray we're on the way to really get that fixed.
Prayers welcome please.....Thanks.
quoting Ed Blysard: "Johnny, so sorry to hear of your Ricki's passing...I won't tell you it gets better with time,(it really doesn't) but it does become bearable and you do start to remember the good times more and more.
Glad you had her for as long as you did, most folks don't get that, and I hope Aimee and I have as long a run."
Thank you, Ed. As you say, it does become bearable, but there are many things that remind me of her and our time together; some of them are difficult to handle, but the difficulty does pass. I think of our leaving Washington on the Cardinal three years ago, sitting side by side in our bedroom as we crossed northern Virginia--it was far more delightful than our crossing Canada in the drawing room on the Canadian on the same trip (she had long wanted to travel in the drawing room (only one on the train, ordinarily), and I made our reservations far enough in advance so that we had it from Vancouver to Jasper and, after a driving loop in Alberta, we had it from Jasper to Toronto). Two years ago, we visited several places from her early days she had longed to see again (including all the houses the family had lived in in Evanston, Ill. and in Memphis), and we stayed in a few historic hotels that she and I had wanted to stay in. I give thanks that we were able to enjoy our travels together.
My oldest brother and his wife had sixty-one years together, and my next brother and his wife had forty-four years together (they were both in their late thirties when they married). My three other brothers had less than forty years each.

Modelcar ......Jean back to E R and admitted around noon. ... Prayers welcome please.....Thanks.

Here is hoping for a better day for both you...
Quentin, I am sorry to hear that Jean has developed a new problem which requires much attention. It seemed that matters were going well for her--and this came up. Potassium is good in its place, but this tablet was definitely out of place. The two of you are in my prayers.
Good Tuesday morning and Happy May Day to everyone!!
1. Welcome back Houston Ed!! It has been a long time since you graced us with your presence in here. Hope you can manage to drop in more often.
2. And Randy, welcome back to you as well.
3. Quentin, hope Jean gets to feeling better and can start eating and keeping it down, so she can improve and come back home.
Anyone with May birthdays, let me know. Thinking I may have missed some when I put notations on my 2012 calendar at the beginning of the year. Don't want to miss anyone's birth date.
Coffee and juices are fresh and ready to go, as well as our other morning beverages. And breakfast is on the warmer bar.
Everyone have a good morning, and I'll try to get back in sometime this afternoon.
It's 59F currently heading for the high 70's as we make a slow march into 80's for the rest of the week. Hoping to finally get in some Railfanning soon so need to get the camera equipment ready for the 2012 RRAdventures season.
Quentin; this is shocking news to us. Thank goodness the problem was found in time .Calling the prayer matron after this post. Keep your faith .
Respectfully , Cannonball & Shirley
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
CW as I reading the rest of the posts , I saw the prayer request for your neice. A call to prayer matron in addition to prayer for Jean and Quentin. We were absent after church, went down to the flat to see the girls and came home Mon.

Cannonball Jim, going to need a lot of prayers for my niece: Report I got from her Mom earlier today (after I got home from Produce), was not good at all. She is now talking, but it isn't good talk. I'm really glad her Dad, my twin, has her son right now.
Unless the Produce truck is late on Tuesdays for awhile, I should be home much earlier for awhile: the Bread/Pastry truck won't be coming for awhile, as they are going to sell the bread, guess to bring in some money for Dare to Care. Wonder how long that will last.
Here is our menu for the rest of the afternoon, our Mexican Fiesta:
1. Tacos: soft shell and hard shell
2. Burritos: beef, beef & bean, and beef enchilada style
3. Enchiladas
4. Chimichangas
5. Fajitas
6. Spanish rice
7. Mesquite grilled steaks--rib eyes, T-bone and sirloin
And we also have the tortilla chips and dips: picante sauce, salsa and con queso.
Everyone have a good afternoon, take care and see you all later.
rain showers on the way. work isn't as busy now.time to get some chores done .will keep the prayer chain going.Our nieghbor is now called "pinky". formica is tuff to work with.Cw thanks for supper.
Joe - Pinky. I am sure there is a story in there somewhere.
Nudge Randy - he might just be a formica king!
Harsco playing on our rails. Had to replace a broken arm on our crossing. Hasn't been windy, so someone closed their eyes before going thru the crossing in front of a train. Hope it dented something important!
MookieJoe - Pinky. I am sure there is a story in there somewhere. Nudge Randy - he might just be a formica king!
Mookie, I won't touch that stuff, next kitchen that gets remodeled is getting a quartz countertop.....
Another day of outdoor work today, we moved some plants around and mulched around the house. 24 bags of red mulch later, the house looks a whole lot better. Still have an area to do, but will have to wait until two cedar trees are removed first....
Project for tomorrow: Painting the living room.....
Excuse me while I go rest my sore muscles.....
....Thanking all the good people for the Prayers.
Had Ulcer.....dealt with today....Now to get it healed, etc...
Maybe we bring Jean home {again}, tomorrow....
Good Wednesday morning everyone. We in Louisville have a temp of 73 muggy degrees this morning, going for a high of 90 for today. July is 2 months away, and we're already getting July temps. Guess we can look for a "long hot summer".
Quentin, I'm glad they found Jean's problem. Will she be on a special diet for the ulcer? Will be continuing to pray for her and you, along with anyone else who needs extra help.
Coffee is ready, and juices are freshly made and in the fridge, keeping cold. Other morning beverages ready also. And breakfast of bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, toast, etc. is ready and on the warmer bar.
Will be leaving the house about 11 or shortly after, for a 2 block walk west to the doctor's office for my checkup. That is going to be a very warm walk this morning. So I'll have some cut colds and other sandwich fixings ready and on the warmer bar for you all for lunch. Any suggestions for supper tonight?
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and see you all sometime this afternoon.
