Mother Nature sent us more rain.Ns has a westbound waiting in Archbold.Matt's turn to get ready to go to work.We have a meeting tonight about his upcoming trip.We do know he is leaving next Sunday at 0600.
Another weekend on the railroad in the books. Got to run on Saturday, conductor on Sunday. Decent ridership for this time of year.
Joe - I think all your rain went well south of us. MD was under flood watches. We're supposed to get another day or two of decent weather.
The NYS Fire Chief's show is this coming weekend. Time for a little training, some bargain hunting, and checking out that latest big, shiny trucks...

I got to run on Saturday, too. Wasn't really my first choice of how to spend a nice Saturday, but it was a pretty easy job.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

lThis is truly amazing! Enjoy. Wonderland in Hamburg, GermanyRemember the two brothers, in Germany, who had a wonderful model railway that was something to see? This is an update of their German Wonderland. A short review, it was started by two brothers as a place to show their hobby began to grow by leaps & bounds. Soon they were joined by other 'Model Railroad Clubs' and other craftsmen. Some were electricians, model makers, carpenters, computer programmers. Their wives would stop by to see what they were doing and usually bring them a lunch.One thing led to another. Three of the ladies had worked at a bakery, several visitors would ask if they had a snack bar. The idea was planted; some of the carpenters came and built a nice restaurant area for the bakery and a kitchen, too. If the fresh coffee smell didn't get you, then the bakery definitely would Over 400,000 man hours were spent making this dream come true.This was about 5 years ago. One of the breweries came and furnished all the tables and chairs, serving counter etc. Their latest finished area is the airport. Planes look like they are flying and landing.

During the summer, my "weekends off" tend to be mid-week...

If your weekends have been mid-week around here you would have been in luck. The last 7 actual weekend have been rainy with chances of flash flooding.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
And, it is dry and 50 degrees here this morning.
More rain today.Possible thunderstorms tomorrow?? Matt went uptown and got his painting supplies for the trip.Ns had trains running but they were hard to see due to an autorack train in the siding.Chores to do.

We had a whole summer like that a few years ago. The sun went down on Friday night, and came up on Monday morning.....
Ns was clerar when I left work.Got the swamp mowed before Mother Nature could rain again.Chores to do.
That was my experience there a few years ago.

Ns was clear when I left work.Since Matt has to work tomorrow we took him out to eat tonight.He didn't have any fries.He did have a big plate of Chicken Parmasian.Matt did go over to New Haven today.He saw high hoods and the Ns Veterans unit.Chores to do here at home.
Nice line of storms came through about three hours ago. Small hail, high winds. Right in the middle of it we got called out for a large tree down with wires involved. Had to close the road for a bit. As I was leaving the house for that call, my weather station was alarming for a rain rate of 4" per hour. Fortunately, it didn't last that long - we only got 2/3" of rain from the storm...
Filed a report with NWS Buffalo. Nice part of being a known spotter is that your reports get some credence that John Q might not.
Did you notice the OWLS diamonds at Durand? How that place has descended to the depths!
In other news, happy birthday to Matt!
Ns was clear when I left work.Chores to do here.Need to send Matt to work too.
Ns sent a westbound when I got off of work.Matt is at work now.We are now on vacation.Will be looking at trains in various places.Chores to do for now.
Well, two days of shiny fire trucks and miscellaneous geegaws.
Spent too much money.
But it's all good.

Darned slingshot rubber band isn't stretched out yet. Wile-E-Coyote and the ACME bunch seem a little sluggish this morning. Must be the heat and humidity.
