If the tardis landed inside a K-mart store would it then be considered a Blue light special???[:D]
I guess the moral to the story is don’t have the weekends last cocktail and drive the trains at the same time.

Home, all OK. Went to sleep as soon as I hit the chair. Now to bed.
Good morning all,
IIASBSDISEI with temps in the 90s. This is being posted just after breakfast, which was the usual fare from the dining car. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Morning to All,
Been super busy with work. Will try to catch up and post some photos, etc. later this week.
Take care,
Mitch
Good Morning from Blueberryhill…
It is a sunny 73 degrees. Going up to 93 today with lots of sunshine.
Today is a busy day. I have a lot of errands to run and then, a few things around the house. I will be busy most of the day. No time for trains. Maybe tomorrow, I will get some train time in.
Dining car is here and it’s time for breakfast. Later.
Y’all have a great Monday.
Chuck
Mornin’ boys. HOT! (That’s all you git!) Gonna be some miserable citizens at a local High School tonight at a rally against a LNG facility at Steel Mill. Speaking of schools, ours are closing 3 hours early due to heat. (BTW, most have AC…)
<— Anyone notice anything different about me this morning…? anything…?
Happy 2k Fife!
Kurt
101 here yesterday and more of the same today. Glad the train room has A/C. It’s been dry as a bone here for the past two weeks and wouldn’t you know, we’re taking the granddaughters to Blue Ridge, GA for the train ride Thursday and the storms in the mid-west should be here by then. I had hoped for good weather and booked open car seating, guess I’ll see if I can upgrade if the weather is bad.
Good morning all,
Still, IIABSDISEI with temps in the 90s. Congrats to Fifedog on 2,000 posts and J&J on 1,000 posts. Both are memorable events. Stayed up way too late doing a treasure hunt (or wild goose chase) in Second Life. It gets to the point where you just want to get it over with because you do not want to start over. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
HI GIZ,
WOW a HOTTIE yesterday today tomorrow, hope it starts to stop? Ran yesterday 6 miles, nice and slow took me 58 minutes. Today ran a nice 2 miles at 615 still very humid. Now I sit here at school, no kids just putting in my time cause I have to.
BRUTUS, hope DA TARDIS has that super duper AC system?
B GOOD or B GONE,

LOL! Bimmers are running great - need to find out why my A/C isn’t operating so I signed up for an online service manual site. From what I can deduce it appears the expansion valve is bad. So have to arrange for the mechanic to check it out. Now the Toyota is another story.
Not much going on around these parts other than an excessive heatwave! My plans include a lot of staying indoors!
Morning. Fifey, you have grown A hair on top of your head. [:O] Congrats on the 2K. [^] Hot here but work to catch up on. Chat later.
How many more days are you required to go in? Do you have any projects to work on while you are there?
Just noticed, I haven’t made it to five hundred posts yet.
Oh well, I better get back to submitting resumes to that great void called cyberspace. I think they are all ending up in the bit bucket. lol
GOOD MORNING
Well Laz, there are some schools closed here today, but not the end till Thursday. Yesterdays storm left them without electricity.
90s today with more storms forecast because of the heat. A little cooler after today, High 80s. I usually like to take a short walk in the morning but I went outside today for a few minutes and changed my mind. We don’t have Reb humidity but its high today. At eight am it was 78%. Well the basement is cool and trains must be waiting so that may be a good call for today…
TTFN, S.J.
Morning all. Stormy all weekend. Tornados sent from Iowa all around. Hope Jon is OK. Never got on the computer. Come to think of it, I got a few old computers to add to the washer/mailbox, freezer and water heater in the front yard - thanks guys, think of the scrap value!
CSX, $4.50 a gallon for gas - it’s been that for a while now here in Chicago.
Roy, Happy Anniversary! Daughter and I have an appointment with a judge tomorrow afternoon.
Congrats to Fifey on his milestone.
One of our dinner guests last evening has an interesting job with the Railroad Retirement Bd. - as you probably know, railroaders don’t participate in Social Security but have their own arrangements. Very conversant with RRs, she enjoyed running the trains.
Sunday’s crossword had this clue: Lionel product - answer: trainset
Good Morning (late elsewhere),
Biggest question – Where’s Doug, hope he isn’t in trouble or anything, storms in the area? Unusual ? Might have to call and check if don’t here soon. Or did he get left in the Tardis? Brutus you better check.
(EDIT- Well talk about responsiveness, got my answer, glad to here everything OK. Speaking of a judge, I got a ticket when I was in HS for Exhibition of Speed, parents took license for 2 weeks, state took license for 2 mths, insurance dropped insurance for 1 year, all concurrently. Hope tomorrow works out WELL !!!)
Glad the Chief made it home safely, and not get stuck anywhere.
Congradulations on the 2,000 posts, and there wasn’t any repeats, I checked.
Our weather here is in the upper 70’s low 80’s and no humidity to speak of.
No significant purchases made here this week-end from either the train show or computer show. Did purchase another VHS to DVD recorder. I have one that is integrated into our computer that works well. This one is stand alone, just connect the VHS player to it and push one button. Best part was only $39, so want to test this out. Might be able to use it in the train room and would be a lot more convient, we’ll see.
Chris wants to take Wife and me out for dinner tonight. The restauraunt is kinda expensive located on the side of a hill, with a great view. I’ve tried to convince him a lesser restaurant would be fine, but no doing. The reason is “just because”. Another one of those positive parenting moments.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Surprised no one mentioned this:

Fife - sorry but I didn’t get down to take pics.
“(The freight cars) came loose, overturned, and they dragged them a little bit,” Shook said. “The accident happened on the line about a mile back and it’s when they got here, they came loose. Between Brunswick, Jefferson, Point of Rocks and Carroll Manor, we’ve got the most railroads in the county. It’s a very busy track.”
Really? Could have fooled me! [;)]
GREG, 1 more day. I did all my project work last week when kidos were here for only half a day. I cleaning my office.

Thanks for the “kudos” everyone.
88 - Probably caused from heat (downfall of welded rail). Since you’re closest to this incident, I think you should do a little photo-journalism. It would be kinda cool to see the cranes and MOW forces upright that mess.
…and speaking of derailments—>sarpilot - NTSB investigators are on their way to FLA, and ask that you do not touch anything until they arrive. Counsel is also advising you to make no further statements about activities prior to collision.
