Mornin’ boys. Sunny & 48 (sposed to touch 70’s today) here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Taking a ride out to Catoctin Mtn trains later on. Anyone need something?

Good Morning from Blueberryhill…
It is a cool and foggy 48 degrees. Going up to 68 today with sunshine. The days are getting colder.
Today is a busy day. I have paperwork to do and a project to work on. I will be busy for a few hours. Maybe, I can catch a nap this afternoon.
Dining car is here and it’s Cheerios for breakfast.
Y’all have a great Saturday.
Chuck
Blueberry - I checked out that LIONEL #7 on jayski. Cool looking car, very “busy” though.

Good morning all,
It is cloudy and rain may be on the way finally for SE Indiana. It was a terrible, terrible day at work yesterday. One of the ladies I work with was heading out for lunch when she came rushing back in to get her stuff. She had gotten a call saying her grand niece shot herself in the head. The grand niece was around 25 and unfortunately did not survive. Another co-worker proceeded to tell me about finding her brother when he checked himself out several years ago. With all the case reports that I have to deal with that are depressing enough on their own, the balancing part of the day is the laughter we generate among ourselves. Yesterday there was no balance. It was a very long day. Many tears shed by all. I do not have any more information for now. Just about everybody I work with has either been in the hospital or has close relatives with severe illnesses lately and this was the straw I think that broke the camel’s back. Sorry to ramble, but mood is not the most cheery for now. Have to go ref youth game and watch “my” soccer girls but my heart is really not in it today. I hope everyone has a good day (we need it).
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Hi GUYZ,

FIFE,
Love eating the Crabs along with the NATTY BOHs!!![B][B][Y][B][B] That sweet tea rots your teeth.

Morning all. Mike, we all go through seasons like that. Hard to be “up” all the time when we are in such a season. Anyone who claims it doesn’t get to them is either lying or not able to face the truth. Our confidence comes from knowing God. and knowing that we will get through these tough times. Still, it is sad to be in such a time.
Have a few chores to get done. I told my bride I have to go to the Honda dealer to pick up a “climate control Knob”. She tells me: “good, you can do the grocery shopping while you are out”. Also, I have been trying to figure out why the rear blower in the Mercedes doesn’t blow like the front…I got the information on tracking down a disconnected vent, so that will be later today.
We are hoping to get to that movie I mentioned in the other pot tonight. Need to secure child care. Some days it can be tough though.
One of my friends up north just retired as a Deputy Chief out of Newark FD. Perhaps one of the smartest Firefighters I have ever known. He was on his way to being a dentist when he quit to come on the job.
Well, gotta run, waisting daylight as they say.
God Bless,
Dennis
Great video’s Laz. Morning all the dinning car has been and left heading to points west had bacon, egg, cheese biscuits with hash rounds and OJ
Not a lot happening here. Wife adopted another cat from outside that was a stray so we have new member called little man someone has been cruel to him as he has some scars that look like someone dumped hot grease on him but he’s healing fine and loves us to death till we get him fixed hes living in the den with my trains and computer so I spend a lot of time there so I guess hes going to bond with me also. darn a few pieces of bacon fell to the floor from my biscuits I wonder how that happened [:-^]
Hope all having a good weekend. I’m off today and tomorrow but then work till the 11th then of 12 work 14 off thru the 16th ( but don’t have the funds to even drive to PA let alone go to the train show.
Well talk to you all later have a good afternoon.
Good Morning

Watch this video of Pulaski Salmon river to the end and see this guy land a fish through his bed room window. Enjoy.

LAZ - Good size fish caught through the BR window. I hope the window doesn’t end up in the river.
LIONEL # 7 NASCAR is interesting. Intended to look like a train engine. I am glad he made the race, starting 24th.[au]
Pat
Laz, thanks for the video of the river flooding. The only place I can remember where catching fish out of the window like that was on a bridge tender’s house right next to the drawbridge on the Elizabeth River where I grew up in Virginia.
Ray
Too cool about the guy catching a fish but what a bad situation up there hope it is all getting better
Successfully reunited with my MTH SD70MAC. Turned out to be a bad speaker and battery (Proto 1). Picked up a couple items for a future project, and my favorite train store owner handed me a new LIONEL catalog, gratisimo. Had a nice meal with wifey and littlest princess at PlumCrazy in Westminster.
Good Evening from the Jersey Shore,
Busy day around here. First thing this morning, My son, Brother in law Dan and myself, made some improvement /modifications to my wife and sister in laws store. Counter tops, sink mod, reroute freezer drain line. We knocked it out by 11 and they opened up.My son and I then went to work on his truck. He changed the heater core and I did body work to get it ready to paint next month. When he got done with the heater he cut the grass as I continued with the body work. In a little bit we are heading for the store to decorate it for Halloween.
Mike C, My thoughts and condolences for the family, friends and extended family. A few years ago, one of the guys that I work with, his son jumped off the Driscoll Bridge on the Garden State Parkway, that crosses the Raritan River. What made it worse is that whenever he goes out a back door into our yard, he can see it in the distance.
Dennis, I wish your friend all the luck and happiness with his retirement. Newark is such a lovely, peaceful town. I am sure that the 2 of us can swap stories of adventures there.
RT, I had a female cat adopt me a few years ago. She is fixed and house trained. She comes and goes as she pleases. I take her for her shots every year.
Fife, You had a perfect day.
Laz, You are having too much fun.
Thoughts and prayers for all in need.
John
I’ll have some crab cakes and a tall cold one - thanks Fife!
Laz - OMG! Ditto on the hopes for those involved though.
Mike - sorry for all your office is dealing with, we have that every once in a while at work also - seems when it rains it pours.
Worked 6 hours OT, took son to his game store, then hit Walmart for some odds and ends. Had a burger for dinner and woke up just in time to see RT IM me [tup]
Found a guy on youtube with like 400 plus videos of him building an n gauge layout step by step. Each is about 6 minutes long. I’ve watched a few and it is interesting. Also has a project for making a static grass device for just a few bucks.
Tardis will be ready soon, have to get some supplies loaded up. TTFN!
Hi Guys
50 and gloomy all day. I never got to the mags. football instead with a nap in there someplace. Brutus banilla is ready so swing on over this a way…S.J.
Evening all
Hard to believe it is October already. What happened to summer??? I bought a pressure washer this morning. I had borrowed one from a friend and wished I had one dozens of times, so now I have one. Pretty cool.
Mike I’ll keep the folks you were talking about in my paryerw this evening.
Good night and may God bless
Jim
Good evening all,
A very comfortable day outside today. The windows are open and the AC is off. I’m hoping I don’t have to turn it back on. I did not accomplish much today; I am still battling some sort of crud. I forced the two older children outside so they could enjoy the great weather, then I enjoyed some football and baseball games. However, this evening’s PSU game was a big downer.
Last night, the wife and I enjoyed a great dinner alone together. We found another German restaurant in Moore, OK, which is outside of OK City. The schnitzel was fantastic and the large German beers were quite tasty as well. It was a great way to celebrate 16 years of marriage.
I need to down some more cough medicine and get some sleep.
Good night,
Joe
