Good evening all,
Windy in SE Indiana. Reffed two games today and played in a coaches/ referee game. Going to Kentucky Speedway tomorrow to cheer on SFR and “Special Ed”, who is starting fourth, AJ’s team and Vitor, Swiss Miss and Pippa. Should be a dry day weather wise. High school boys finished regular season 13-2-1, which is pretty good. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Good evening all,
I was up early this morning for the half-marathon. It was pretty cool when I first stepped outside; it warmed up a little by start time and it was a great morning for a run. I ran with another guy from my class in order to keep him on track for his goal. I left him at mile 11 and ran a little faster to finish out the last 3 miles. I am pleased with my results: 1:58:16. This afternoon I donated blood during a Red Cross blood drive. PSU squeaked out another win today and the Yankees have a nice lead right now going in to the bottom of the 7th.
Laz - The course had more hills than I expected with two of them within the last half mile. My legs were smoked as I crossed the finish line. We had BBQ afterwards. I passed on the beer since I was scheduled to donate blood afterwards. Shenandoah may not be the town it once was, but I’m glad I grew up there.
Dennis - I’m glad to hear the movie did well.
Good night,
Howdy guys - man, I see Swiss Miss and it’s October, just think about hot chocolate [:)]
Had a pretty nice Saturday. Cut down, chopped out, and dug up all the rest of my bushes from the front of the house. They are all bagged up and ready to go - I’ll put them out with the trash a few bags at a time for the next few weeks. My old spade I’ve had for like 25 years broke. The blade is pretty beat up too, so I’ll just find a new one I guess. I had country fried steak and okra for dinner from Cracker barrel. Tomorrow is the big day as my buddy is coming over and we’ll swap out my hot water heater with the new one I bought. I’ll take a few minutes to fill in some drywall while there is an open space for me.
TARDIS is ready and I’ll drive, SJ said he has some banilla [tup]
ps - congrats on the movie, Dennis!
Good Morning from Blueberryhill…
It is a dark and wet 52 degrees. Looks like we may get some sunshine today.
Today is a busy day. I have exercises to do and then, rest this afternoon. I watched the playoff games on TV and they were pretty good. Wish the Indians could have made it.
I’ll be glad when I can get down to the train room. Another month or so. I have a brand new car that I want to run and take pictures of. Given to me by a dear friend. Will look good next to the Cheerios car.
Dining car has rolled in and it’s Cheerios for breakfast.
Y’all have a great Sunday.
Chuck
Mornin’ boys. No. Great mornin’ boys. The mere fact that my post is following Blueberry Hill puts things into perspective on many fronts. This is the best place on any forum.
Cool and damp in the Mid-Atlantic region. Perhaps dinner with friends later on. Dover race. Jets vs Ravens.
Went to cousin’s wedding last night. New bride (whom we all love) side of the family came from Persia. There was a belly dancer with a sword at the reception. Yes.
Good morning
45 and sunny, feels cold though.
No breaking news this morning, I’ll watch the Lions game or take a nap depending on how the game is going. Tigers didn’t do well yesterday and to make things worse their best pitcher can only play in 1 more game as he was the starter in the 2 inning rainout…S.J.
SJ - As long as we stay away from Valverde in this series I like our chances. Cano “almost” had two homers last night, he is really rounding into an elite player.
Ray
Morning all not a lot happening this am. just taking it easy today may try yard work tomorrow lol. might get to it this afternoon. Its in the high 50’s this am being 58 at present. Suppose to be sunny today and tomorrow in the low 70’s both days.
Well still waiting for a couple of buyer’s to pay for the goods but its the weekend and it ended Friday night so maybe the first of the week so I can get them out to them in a timely order lol. trying to get rid of all non scale items ( basically O-27 size and keep scale and semi scale items.)
Need to goto dollar general today to see if I can get a couple of boxes and more tape for shipping lol.
Dennis [Y] on the movie
[angel] to all and any who needs them.
I see pat avoiding us again lol guess hes just being a little busy with farm work. This is usually a busy time of year.
And Fifey has very sore eyes. [:O] [^o)]
Morning from the best Carolina. Cool but not as breezy. Pretty day. Wifey and GF’s came home early. One had to meet hubby at airport. They had fun. Lucy was glad to come home but was stuck up as she was with the “girls”. [;)]
Lazy this AM. Slept good as cool. Had to hit the heat button this AM to get the chill out of the house. Watched TV and drank coffee. Vacumed with the new Dyson. Makes it easy. Time to clean and sterilize the greenhouse for winter. Busy time this week. Meetings and trip down east to the farm to put up another deer stand and a new feeder.
Sure Pat is cutting and bailing hay. Everyone is trying to here when not raining.
Have a great week.
Hi GUYZ,
RAINY AGAIN! I think I’m begining to oxidize(RUST)! I feel like the tin man and need some oil. Gee we got to send this rain to ROY they need it more then we do. Not much going on today gonna run on treadmill again. Run trains a little today and watch some football on the tube.
JOE, glad you had a good run. Yea I hear you on growing up in Shenadoah, same with me growing up in Hazleton. Glad I did when I did but wow have they changed in just a few years.
DOUG M, GO BEARS!
GO RAYS!
Stay frosty,
laz57
RT and Chief - Not avoiding you. Hay is in but busy bush hogging in and around the pastures getting ready for winter rotational grazing. Rain today so I had time to check the Pot.
Train room? What is a train room? Must be that building I haven’t been in for weeks.
Pat
Like I said pat its your busy time of the year geting the farm all set for the winter.
good to see you posting thou.
Wow the Lions came from behind to win. It wouldn’t be news if it were any other team. First time since 1980, 4 wins in a row.
EDIT: And the Tigers just won. OK banilla and root beer for all, belly up to the bar. We had sun today but it stayed in the 50s. I will wait for the thingy to swing by…S.J.
What a crummy weather weekend with North Carolina fog and drizzle. Yech!!!
Well I guess I better catch up on the pot postings.
Good evening everyone. We had a great church service this morning, followed by lunch with friends. Quick run to the store and then we went to see the movie. The place was packed out and we had to sit three rows back from the very front. I guess it is a good problem. You could hear all the laughter, tears, etc., through the theater. Afterwards, my son’s teacher came to thank us for the tickets and for the effort in bringing the movie together. Felt good, but it is really God that gets the glory.
Chief, hope the bride and GF had a great time. They seem to get along very well! You are blessed for sure.
Fife, watch out for belly dancers with swords…they probably know how to use them! I have only seen one belly dancer and that was in north Africa back in the early 80’s. My wife may not like me to go see another…
RT, stay off the roof, or at least know your limits. One of the guys I am on rotation with for the cameras at church fell off his roof while trying to get the pine straw off. Crushed a few vertebrae. Even though I used to be a firefighter many moons ago, I know our roof pitch is too steep and I leave it to the guys who are used to it…and are bonded.
Well, I have to bring the kiddos to school in the morning and head in. At least I am not on call after 0700. I have to bring one of the cars in for brakes. Also have to take son to get his braces adjusted. My wife has to take a class for the hospital. Something about crisis intervention.
Does anyone know how to get chocolate milk out of a persian rug? Daughter had a minor mishap tonight…ug
Good evening all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 60s. Once after a rainy cold day with traffic snarls and another Team Red win at Indy, I told my kids there will be a day when Traffic is no problem, the weather is warm, and the “good guys” win. Today…after many, many, too many years, it finally happened,
“Special Ed” Carpenter, the last sprint and Silver Crown driver left in Indy Car racing, driving for new mom, Sarah Fisher, and SFR, WON at Kentucky Speedway!!!
There was much rejoicing at the track today. Manly tears flowed freely as I told my wife that I think my dad was pushing Ed across the line ahead of Mr. Ashley Judd. The last 25 laps were side by side racing at its finest. On the shuttle back to the parking lot, there was a guy who said he was a NASCAR, but he had never seen a race better than that one. There is no voice left in me, and the ride home from the race was one of the best I have had in a long, long, long time. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
765 was looking good on Saturday.
About to fall asleep, lol! My friend and I got that hot water heater swapped out and it’s working, although now my family says the water is too hot! While the old one was out of the way, we put in some drywall too. Great chats with RT and SJ tonight. Jim is buying, so let’s get a move on 
We had a great Ohio blue sky day. Wait a minute. Carolina is blue and Ohio is red. [:-^]
Spent most of the afternoon at the pond and lease just sitting on the tailgate relaxing. Did spend some time fighting fire ants [“Orthoing” them and watering it in] at the lease. Had a couple of new nest in the back but “Ortho” takes them out.
Sleep tight.
Almost midnight on the East Coast…sooo…HEY!
Busy weekend…Princess’s debut at the Corner of Chaos was ok, dance floor is old knotted wood and she caught her toe on a knot…she sore, but ok. Performance was cancelled Saturday as it did rain during the night. Saturday was the Harvest fair, I was on water patrol, driving the boat…it was cool and threatened rain, but was dry. I liked driving the Zodiac up and down the lake…easy duty! Left for the NJ Devils preseason game at the Rock in Newark. Beat the visiting Flyers 2-1…nice victory.
Today was easier…Giants won, Yankees lost, Dodge wins at Dover then napped on the couch. Princess went in at 4 and was done by 1030.
Tomorrow, back to the usual grind, shuttle Princess to school and look for a job…
[angel] - for our intentions…
Happy October!
