COFFEE POT Sept 2018. 14 years old. Coffee and lots of breakfast. The more of us that retire, the less of us that know what day or month it is.

Hey It is a new month!!! [:O]

Better put it here.

Morning,

So much for the tractor show in Pontiac today. Raining here and I called Jim our neighbor who is down there and he said they musta got 2" or better overnight and the place is a swamp. He said I would need every bit of the 4x4 to get into and out of the parking area. Oh well!

So don’t know what we will do today. Pay bills I guess. [:^)]

Rich, I tried all my life to gain weight, now I would like to shed about 30#. Felt my best at 160# If I could shave off my beer gut I would be there. [(-D]

Where is DougM?

Posted this in last month before I found this.

Morning. Mow and spray. Get cleaned up and run errands.

Have a good one.

Hello there, Chief musta forgot it’s the 1st.

Another rainy day Watching 2 littlest grandkids this PM/evening. Mom has a wedding. May take them to see other grandaughter in a parade.

Kev…I was 120 pounds at HS graduation. Got married 2 years later and a slow steady rise began. Been up and down a few lb’s the last couple of years but pretty steady at 250 lately. Great old pictures.

best get on with the day

Prayers for those in need.

Wow rain everywhere but here. 90 90 90 that’s the forecast.

No holiday travel plans, it will be a weekend near home.

As I tore down the Baltimore, Ohio and Wabash RR, I made some notes:

Train layout notes

  1. 6” tunnel and bridge clearances.
  2. Overkill on screwed connections.
  3. Overkill on braces

  7. The top of the L girder is to face the front.
  8. Drill 1/4 holes in center of L girder for electrical

Good Evening from Sunny / Rainy 85°F Southern Ohio

Off nightshift until December, yea!

Good evening all,

Hot and then rainy and then hot. Got yard mowed. Went to Mass and then to Frisch’s for supper. Oldest daughter and grandkids are visiting tomorrow. Foyt team did terrible in qualifying today. I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Evening folks!

Really nice day today. Lotta time on the river/lake with friends. About 30 of us for the weekend. Ended the day will all floating and enjoying company and beverages! More on tap for tomorrow.

Kev - neat layout photos from '65! And a good caption for this month!

Buckeye - good list!

SJ - hope the hand is healing well!

MikeC - enjoy the family visit tomorrow!

Chief - find a good punishment for the hoaxter!

Phish - busy busy!

Mornin’ boys. Train this AM. Cookout this PM. NASCAR/Darlington on DVR.

V8Vega - [angel] for Cooper; and you.

Buckeye - I embraced lightweight construction, and discovered Pergoo (foam side up) works well for subroadbed. I even incorporated a loop of AF to stay in Phish’s good graces.

88 - Good luck with home sale. Too bad I can’t get you out on the Panhandle; what your money can buy…

Chief - Yep, dealt with hoaxes over my 30 years. Yet, creates the opportunity to observe responses and develop strategies in the event the worst does happen.

Anjdevil - A lot of cruises lately in WM, always think of you.

MichiganRR - Congrats on the photo credit in this month’s CTT.

Hello there,

back from Mass and breakfast over. Not sure what the day will bring. Fish fry at the daughters place this evening.

Grandaughters were here till 915 last evening. They had a good time with no problems. Took them for a long ride in the trailer behind the Gravely, they loved it.

Best see what the rest of the day holds.

Prayers for those in need

I got a stent a year ago and trying,

but often failing, to eat heart healthy, I’m losing weight.

My layout is L girder open top and all drywall screws.

My slot car table is framed like the wall of a house and all nails. That was much faster.

Good morning,

The rain they were clamoring about never happened so it ain’t bad out. Someone to the south of us musta had a big bonfire because the deck is covered with ash?? Looks like it snowed some.

No plans today but I am going to prepare some of those Bali Maki Chinese steak on a stick for tomorrow’s cook out later today as long as all I got to do is get the flank steak. Already have everything else.

Watching mom and Bambi in the front yard eating acorns. Not much else planned for the day.

Good idea Buckeye, taking notes of the could have, should have items.

Dennis,

Afternoon. Hot and humid. Wifey has vertigo but is now medicated and asleep.

R&R this afternoon.

Good evening all,

Michigan RR, yes, congrats on the pic. Hot today. Daughter and grandkids helped pick up sticks in the yard. Played Monopoly Empire. Had a nice visit. Talked to Lucas and other daughter as well. Foyt team did better than expected but still no top 10. HAAS moved into tie for 4th in F-1 Constructor’s points, which is about as good as they can do. I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Another 90 day with chance of heat storms this afternoon.

Y’all stay safe today.

S.J.

Morning All!

It’s been a few days, so I figured I’d check in and see what’s up. I hope all is well.

Looks fairly decent out today. Nice to be off for Labor Day (for those of us here who are still working!!)

We had our big football season opener tailgate/BBQ bash at my brother-in-law’s for the Michigan-Notre Dame game on Saturday. My Wolverines aren’t off to a good start… [:(]

Yesterday, my niece got married and it was another big party. Her husband’s family is Portugese, so the food and beverages were flowing a plenty! After this weekend, I’m not even getting into the whole weight conversation!

Have a good one and prayers.

My much loved Border Collie Cooper passed away last night, he looks peaceful. He aged very rapidly and the last few days was so weak he could hardely move.

He was 12 years, 10 months which is the equivalant ov over 80. I had him 11 years.

He was the most active dog I have ever seen. He was a Super dog, he will never be replaced.

I’m very sad but I have been expecting it, I hope to be with him again in heaven.

Dennis, so sorry.

Hot and humid. Wifey was whinning about her feeling bad but has been on the phone 75% of the morning. [%-)]

Going to Lowes for mulch which is on sale. About it.

Have a good one.

Remember guys,NO labor on Labor Day!!!

Got everything made and ready to go for the cook out and now they pushed back the time till 2:00 PM, Glad I made breakfast.

We had a blast rain of .1" in about 3 minutes. Now the sun is out and the steamer is on. Going to 90 today… At least it will be a start on the new grass seed I put down up by the road.

Enjoy the holiday.

Dennis, so sorry about the dog. [angel] [:(] It hurts so much because they get to be such a big part of your life. Why I have not been able to replace our last one.

So sorry for your loss Dennis. Cooper sounds like he was well loved.

Dennis so sorry to hear. They become part of the family, that is why it hurts so much. It’s like there a son or daughter to a lot of us.
