Afternoon All!
Another rainy ,drizzly Fall day here. Like Marty, I’ve been busy doing nothing!
Rich - Hope the folks house situation works out.
Ray - My sympathies to you.
Kev- I hear ya. I had an MTH order due in the end of September. Now, it looks to be the end of March!! I was hoping to have it before Christmas… [:(]
Banks - Nice pics! I like that PRR certificate.
I guess that’s it for now. Thoughts and prayers.

Evening gang!
Another day at 86. Puffy clouds so pretty pleasent out today. Son and I sat outside at lunch today! Nice low level breeze.
Banks - great photos! Esp like your fathers retirement letter. I have my grandfathers retirement letter signed by one of the Schlumberger brothers, two letters giving him permission to be on leave from Ellington Field in 1919 (he was a lubrication ‘engineer’ in the aircraft ‘engine’ section of the Army ‘Air Service’, and his Ellington Field 1918 yearbook which has pictures of all the soldiers/squadrons, Ellington operations, layout, etc., even wrecked planes (one in a tree).
Marty - I hate missing your Legacy sessions due to other commitements!
I dunnu Chief - you always appear to explain there is a sign for Rosyville and yet no one ever sees it [:-,]
Kev - glad the damage wasn’t any worse!
Good evening all,
Quiet day for a Tuesday at work. Took it easy tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Evening all from Southern Ohio,
Where did September go??? Lots going on at home and at work. Nothing bad just all time consuming.
May God bless
Jim
Marty and Banks,
The Monroeville show is November 10-11. I’ll be there if work doesn’t get in the way.
Phish,
I got the AF bug again. First, it started with finally getting a 372 Union Pacific GP-7, then it was a very clean set 5423T The Mountaineer (1954 version) from a local through Facebook, followed by a decent 1953 version (5323T) from ebay.
Going to be HOT!!! 74 already heading to 90 today, Nuts. Glad I did not cover the AC unit yet like Brain down the lane did.LOL
The leaves are starting to fall in earnest now. Did two loads yesterday, some leaves but mostly oak acorns,walnuts and hickory nuts and you can’t tell I did anything this morning. Won’t be long now and I will be doing leaves everyday.
This site just gets worse! Can’t log on, then can’t log off and un-safe!!! [:(!]
Got my scrip renew in the mail last week, Guess I will hold it to see if they ever fix this site! [8o|]
Good Afternoon from hot 93°F Southern Ohio
I’m at work and currently in the monitoring mode in both buildings. In addition to overseeing the crews I’ve been asked to complete another qualification. This one is a Nuclear Facility Manager. A lot of regulatory type stuff. Lots of reading and digesting federal regs. Ever have trouble sleeping? Read this stuff.
I’ve not worked on the layout for a couple of weeks. The last days off were spent working the Honey Do list. Got quite a bit done so maybe can justify a few hours on it this weekend.
Update on the oldest girl from the neurologist not sure if her seizure was a seizure or “just an episode”?. More tests later this month. Wife’s heart doc says for now just keep an eye on things. Wife’s mom continues to downgrade, she will be 89 next week. Her siblings are in denial of her failing health and question every decision made for her care, but are too busy to help. Rant over; I feel better.
Jim - Great pieces you have gotten. The Mountaineer is a great set.
Kev - We’ve had the AC off for the past few days but I’d say it
Good evening all,
Weather warm. Work quiet. Boys lost 3-2 in a close game. Considering pre-season expectations, a good season. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Mornin’ boys. Cloudy/foggy and 65 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. The newlyweds return today. Wifey and I have been playing care-takers at their “estate” since Monday.
Tuesday, as the train was pulling into Ridgeley Yard, the crew at Diversified had 1309 fired up, for the first time in 60 years. The burning coal smelled great, and the sight of smoke flowing from the stack had everyone smiling. My best moment at the WMSR thus far. You can check out the images on the TRAINS news sight.
Where’s rt?
Right here
Good. Stay there. Don’t worry me like that…[Y][Y][8D]
the TV was going on and on about it was suppose to rain yesterday. Rain at this time would be highly unusual. It did look like it might rain for awhile. Like so often here when they say it’s going to rain, not a drop.
Evening all!
Warm as usual and 88 right now. Ready for some cooler fall temps!
Been very busy so tough to stay up to date.
Phish - prayers for your daughter
Fifer - that is very cool about the 1309 steaming up!!! Whoda thunk that could ever happen?
Hello there, so far this week in between rains got 2 more of the small ash trees down and the brush burnt. Cleaned up where it will be stacked. 2 more larger trees to go and the big one. Fife…good news on 1309. Do they have a target date for the maiden voyage??
Best try to sleep.
Prayers for those in need
Good evening all,
Quiet day at work. Nice weather for walk and last high school game of the season as “my” soccer girls got pounded as expected 7-0. Actually only trailed 2-0 at halftime, but two goals in the first minute of the second took away any hope of a comeback. The ladies played hard, but lack of speed really did them in. They face a long uphill climb to being competitive again. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

SStupid softeare will not letSuper tired. Walked over 8,000 steps with bucket of seeds and food plots seeds. All food plots sown. Goodnight.
Stupid software. Who made this junk?
Goodnight.
Good morning,
The lack of quality does little to enhance the reputation of the owner, CTT.
If it were my magazine website, I’d want lionroar88 to fix it…[2c]
[oX)]Of course, if it were my magazine website, BK would still be around.
Sorry boys, no launch date for 1309.
Gloomy and 47 this morning. As for CTT well Bob was the one person that felt like family. Now articles that we expected to see in the mag are offered as seperate sale soft cover books. My scripts go way back to MR but will end in 2020.
