Two hour drive to do a one hour equipment move, then two hours drive back home.
I'm pooped...
Nice day, though.

Ok.....Just got the tractor put to bed.....Might be the last mowing of the season. If it is, it's a record for the least amount this season. I believe since we built this house.
Looks nice now....pretty and dark green, and very few leaves.
Got my mittens installed on the outside water facets...A little extra protection for the Winter. Have never had any freeze, and don't want any freezing.
Now if I could just find the half dozen spools of cutting string for my Worx edger / trimmer I know I have here someplace....I did order another half dozen, and perhaps will have them Monday...Then I can do the final edging to make it neat for the Winter.
Our day was certainly a very nice mild temp one and lots of sunshine.
Had lunch at our family restaurant today and no trains passed while we were there. Generally it's not unusual to see perhaps 3 pass during that time. Main CSX east / west in this area....Double track. Maybe the Saturday runs are different.
Item: Has anyone heard any news of the Roanoke hotel cam...It's been down since the storm hit the east seaboard. Just checked the other one...and it had a nice clear picture, but with a change every few seconds, not very interesting. There was one setting closest to the camera, and one passing on the other side of it...east bound.

Good Sunday morning all. Not sure of temps this morning, as local news isn't on yet, but it doesn't feel too bad outside. Kind of pleasant, actually. From what I heard last night, supposed to be another sunshiny day, with a high back in the low 70s.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And breakfast is ready and on the warmer station.
Other than that, don't know too much this morning. Everyone have a good morning, take care going to work, Church, railfanning, or whatever else you have lined up for this morning, and I'll see you all this afternoon, after I get home from Church.

Good Remembrance Day Morning.
We are going to see whether I can get some half decent shots of a group of Harvard Trainers that are supposed to fly over the ceremonies downtown later on...hopefully they will turn out...
Sunny and high near 66F today...
Have a good day!!
Good Afternoon...
Brilliant sunshine and nice warm temperatures...we got all the windows open so we could get fresh air in here and I finished off the gardening for the season out back.
Tonight I will be doing some testing of a couple of new-ish loco's I picked up from the LHS recently..and see if'n my handlaid track is ready for real testing through an OP session....
Welb...got the dinner stuff out on the buffet racks and such...have at it!!
Joe, we didn't feel anything here. The Church Warden, whom I have been riding with on Sunday mornings, said she was lying in bed yesterday morning, getting ready to get up, when she felt her bed start moving across the floor. She now has some white scratches on her wall from the bed (a big cherry/mahogany bed) sliding across the floor. She was going to walk around the perimeter of her house this afternoon to check for damage.
Here is our Sunday Dinner menu:
1. Fried chicken w/mashed taters, milk gravy, green beans, corn, apple sauce and buttermilk biscuits.
2. Roast, taters, carrots, choice of garden salad or slaw, and the above mentioned side dishes in #1.
Took a ride down to Fulton, NY to a small train show there today. On the way home, I took the scenic route, including a foray to the shore of Lake Ontario at a spot I've sailed past a number of times but had never visited from the shore side.
I was partially curious as to just how far down the lake is. It's pretty far down. After "rebuilding" a small bridge so I could get across a small stream flowing out onto the beach, I walked to a small point. Out of curiousity, I shot the GPS coordinates. The "tack" indicates where I was standing (at the edge of the water) at the time:
That's all rock there, and actually runs a fair distance out into the lake. Another fellow walking on the beach said he now understood why he saw folks hung up there every now and then.
At least it was a nice day for a walk on the beach. I was in short sleeves. The next couple of days will certainly change that...
Well, got some time to get back in the basement and stretch things out a little bit with another 4x8 sheet. Outta straight track now though, need to get on the ole ebays.

Good Monday morning all. 60 degrees here in Louisville at present, with rain and wind. Temps are to be dropping all day, going down into the 30s by morning. Highs rest of the week, are in the low to mid 50s, with overnight lows in the 30s. Sounds like thermal underwear weather to me, folks.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And breakfast is also ready and waiting on the warmer station.
Everyone have a good morning, keep warm, take care and see you all this afternoon.
cw thanks for breakfast.rain then maybe some snow.time for bed.projects to work on this afternoon.

Kinda dull out this morning..going down temperature wise as well.

Nice looking caboose in your picture, BC! Getting colder by the hour here in Louisville this afternoon. And the wind sure isn't making it feel any better outside.

2. Chili (medium or mild) w/crackers and grilled cheese or PB&J sandwiches
You all have a good afternoon, keep warm & toasty, take care and see you later.

Anyways ...off to check the rest of the forums out...
Have a good evening!!!
Good Tuesday morning all. 31 very cold degrees here in Louisville this morning. Don't think we're supposed to get over 50 degrees today, if that.
BOC, sounds like Spring is being a typical kitty. Our Trapper Kitty like to get on top of the printer, press buttons and watch the paper slide out onto the tray.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And for breakfast this morning:
Bacon, sausage, pancakes, scrambled eggs, buttermilk biscuits, sausage gravy, hash brown taters, bagels and bear claws.

Good Wednesday morning all. Clear skies w/temps in the upper 20s to 30 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Been up since about 3:15. Couldn't go back to sleep. Think it was too warm upstairs in the bedroom.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is ready also and on the warmer station.
Here in the southern part of the county, Dixie Hwy. is closed, from Hwy. 44 down to the Salt River, at least for 2 or 3 more days, as they empty the H F cars and get the rest of the clean up done from the derailment.That's according to what I heard on the local news just a little while ago.
Everyone have a very good morning, keep warm, take care and see you all later.
Matt is off to school.Saw one eastbound hopper train.I think it may have been loaded with iron ore.Unless they are planning on putting them in storage.There was a loaded coal train waiting to go east as well.he was on Track 1.The crane is back in the siding after working the night before.Cw thanks for breakfast.another busy day.
We is seeing some sun!! But it is CCCOLD out there!! We are sitting at the mighty 24F right now going to a high of ...34F later on...
Today I will actually get to go to the trainroom and get some work done in there. First time in...oh....a couple of weeks? Between my doctors appointments/chemo things/meetings/who knows what all else..I had no time for even the simplest of things...even making Yogurt...
After our first snow flakes this season....Monday, 12th, just 2 days different than last season, we're in a very cool week, but dry...and with sunny to partly sunny all week is the forecast. I'll not complain about that.
Just about one month from tomorrow, we will see the earliest sunset, and the time for it to tick up one minute {later}....And the long trip back to June 21th.
I have lunch/supper ready and on the warmer station. Just so you all know, its all Chinese/Oriental related. Very busy here at home, so don't have time to list everything like I usually do.
Everyone have a good afternoon, take care, keep warm & safe, and see you all later.
Good Evening.
Today is a bit cooler than I would like but it was sunny out here!!
I'm having fun with my cat right now...he insists upon coming up here to schmoose and I am trying to put my other computer to rest...I've been on my DAW all afternoon putting some new music together...
I'm a gonna go check the rest of the forum out...have a good evening!!
Good Morning to you all from us'uns in the great lakes region of Canader, eh....
whereupon it is currently 25F and actually coming back up to the mighty 45F later on, in the sunshine...
I'm up at this silly hour of the morning because my dear chemo treatments have insomnia as one of it's side effects as this....as well, I made home made chipotle chicken stew last night and it is getting a little warm in here
And all the breakfast buffet goodies are up as well....
So, off I go checking out what is up...have a good day
BC thanks for breakfast.ns crane is still in the siding.all the other trains have cleared out for now.work is busy.tonight is friday.I need a nap.errands this afternoon.
Joe; has the coal train in the siding moved out yet or the (shelf life test) still on going on??
Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
cannonball
everything is clear for now.I post the coal train information here so Mookie can keep track of her BNSF locomotives.She is lurking for sure.The problem is a coal train will fit in the siding but it will block access to the rails for the NS crane.A spur comes off the sidng right by our warehouse at work.I have to cross at an actual crossing to get to work.With the air getting colder they will leave to power on the train to keep the air in the brakes.Here is a picture of the crane in the spur at work as an auto rack train goes west.Time to go pick up Matt.
