evening
went to new haven and garrett to see what was going on the yards.found a set of keys in garrett.Turns out they were for the museum and layout. caused some excitement but we waited for a member to come and identify the keys. As a reward Matt got to run trains on the layout. Mom and Matt are worn out. Church and Sunday school tomorrow.

Indeed, it was.
All is in readiness for Sunday's chicken barbeque. Hopefully we'll sell out quickly (but not too quickly) and can get packed up and home fairly early.
The net has been erected in central New York. Expecting to find some dirty feathers in it Tuesday.

Joe - cool! Next time I go track-side, I am going to have the Driver show the engineer his keys and see if he will let us run the engine! Think?
Tree! A visit from Sir Chicken and Boss Hen is always a delight. Make sure it is a reinforced net - he travels very fast, even when she is riding shotgun.

MookieMake sure it is a reinforced net
It's a scheduled stop, so I'm pretty sure the net will hold.
While I'm here - Need some help. Kindly head over to this site and cast a vote for completing the restoration... You can read about the "battle" in another thread here on the forum...

I just voted Larry.....
Done.

Hopefully, Tree won't have to repair the net after I've gone through......
Had a chance to run through the house last night, so stopped by and slept in my own bed for a change. Got a load of QuadGraphics fodder for the post office in Rochester for Monday morning, then because of my hours that I pick up, things get sketchy after that. Can't run much on five hour days....
Little chilly here this morning, mid thirties right now outside. Read the forecast discussion for our area, going to be a cool and somewhat wet week, with the possibility of a freeze for next Sunday night. Fall is here......
Better get my tail in gear, it's just over 11 hours from here to Rochester, and will have to spread it out over two days......

Just letting people know I'm still here. We are now on Colpoy's Bay on the west side of the Bruce Peninsula.
Larry: Is the voting for all or just American voters? Just curious.

blownout cylinderIs the voting for all or just American voters?
I don't know that there is any restriction. I've never run one of those surveys myself, so I don't know what restrictions can be added.
I'm sure the other side is taking all the votes they can get, so why not?
I cast my vote.MC has a good appetite, if you're looking for suggestions on bait...

Dogs!
I am an all animal lover, but today in the park I saw something I have never seen before. A family was having a picnic at a picnic table and they had their Mama Basset Hound and her puppy with them. I am partial to Bassets - so would glance over every so often to watch the dogs.
I happened to look over there only to find Mama sitting up. Just like an overstuffed chair. Dogs sit up, but I have never seen one look so comfortable doing so. No balance problems for her. She didn't look like she was begging, just like she was really relaxed sitting that way. Looked just like a fire plug with fur. Maybe she likes the height to help her see the world better?
Monday is done. Matt got a treat for handing in a paper. I had to sign it too. The teacher was doing a test on how many parents look at their kids papers and newsletters. I asked for my cut but Matt said he only got 1 sucker. Mookie with a dog's sense of smell being great maybe mamma hound smelled something good. ma nature is going to bring some rain then open the cooler door. Time to get some chores done before bed.

Tree! You would be proud of moi! I checked my batteries list for everything in the house - including 3 smoke detectors and one CO detector. I need 23 batteries when I go shopping this weekend.
Going to the bank to get the loan for them this week!
Moo....
MookieTree! You would be proud of moi! I checked my batteries list for everything in the house - including 3 smoke detectors and one CO detector.
While I'm sure one of the regular sponsors of "Change Your Clock - Change Your Battery" - a battery company - sees some dollar signs in the campaign - it's a task that does need to be done. Somehow the campaign has gone from beeing fall-only to both the spring and fall time changes, but too often is better than not often enough.
Setting the alarm clock for an early rise tomorrow morning - gotta go check the net...
Right - and safe - thing to do Mookie. I was told the smoke detector batteries in my apartment are good for ten years. That must mean they are Lithium Ion. On the dark side, they are useless to me because after working around running airplanes for over thirty years I have no high pitch hearing. I need ones with a much lower tone.
At least my sense of smell still detects low concentrations of smoke.
Norm - isn't it ironic that women usually have reasonably good hearing as they get older, while men, even with hearing aids, still can't hear. (My Driver)
That was brought home to me in a doctor's office a few days ago. Older men and women both and when the nurse would call the women, the husband looked startled when the wife jumped out of her chair. Almost to a man, the men needed the wife to nudge them to go with the nurse.
Tree - I am excited for you. Checked his itinerary and he seems to be doing a rather extensive tour of New York State! Scare him to death and give him a hug for me.
OK - I suppose that won't work for either of you, so just pat him on the back and hug Boss Hen for me!
Joe - the dog didn't even need a good sense of smell - we were parked about 5 cars away from them and they had tacos. The hot sauce made my eyes water!
However, that dog was so funny. She looked like a really comfortable chair for a little person and sat motionless for quite awhile. I think she thought it made her look taller....
I like that teacher. Too many people think of their children as furniture, so it is nice to see someone involved with their child and school as you always have been, and she proved it.
Norm48327On the dark side, they are useless to me because after working around running airplanes for over thirty years I have no high pitch hearing.
Norm - it's been found that sleeping children often to not respond to blaring smoke alarms. Some research has found that the parent's voice gets a better response. I believe that there may be some movement toward smoke alarms with voices. If one could guarantee that Mom and/or Dad didn't whisper when recording, an alarm that would allow such recordings could prove useful.
Too, it probably wouldn't go over very well if Dad recorded an alarm message along the lines of "MOM BURNED DINNER - AGAIN."
I'd imagine that an alarm with a selection of alarms (either user selectable, or varying sounds, like many car alarms) might find a place in the market. I believe there are alarms that include light. Most fixed (commercial) alarms now have both an audible and a visual alert.
Part of the problem is finding the right balance between waking you up and damaging your hearing.

Found MC. Enjoying his presentation. Have to refrain from adding to it...
He was lost? If so, I am glad you found him, else he would be missed around here.

work was busy.Had a safety meeting about fire hazards and how to PASS at work.(pull aim squeeze and sweep).Also talked about how important it was not to park forklifts near the exits of the building during an emergency. Read on the newswire about an engine that was vandalized on Larry's railroad. Talked to Matt's teacher today as well. She said only a few kids brought in the signed paper. Time to get chores done.
Deggesty He was lost? If so, I am glad you found him, else he would be missed around here.
He's doing a series of lectures across NY state. Met him at the Syracuse presentation. Even learned some stuff.
Also met Boss Hen. Both were headed further east for more presentations and some family time.
The purchase of a new pumper for the fire department was approved tonight. It'll be delivered in about a year...
