Morning Coffee in the diner
GOOD MORNING!!!
Bill has provided the date.
When something goes wrong and we want to express it in writing, the word
AAAAAARRRRGH! Comes to mind, SO:
argh / aargh / aaargh / aaaargh / aaarrgh / aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh
(etc)-
exclamation, usually ironic or humorous (in this sense usually written and rarely verbal) - Argh, or more dramatically Aaaaaaaaaargh, is an exclamation - a written scream. Aaaarrrgh (there are hundreds of popular different spelling variants) typically expresses a scream or cry of ironic or humorous frustration. There seems no doubt that Aaargh is flourishing in its various forms due to the immediacy and popularity of internet communications (blogs, emails, etc), although actually it has existed in the English language as an exclamation of strong emotion (surprise, horror, anguish according to the OED) since the late 1700s. The OED prefers the spelling Aargh, but obviously the longer the version, then the longer the scream. In this respect it’s a very peculiar and unusual word - since it offers such amazing versatility for the user. Spelling varies most commonly in the number of 'A’s, and to a lesser extent in the number of 'R’s. Repetition of 'G’s and 'H’s is far less prevalent. If you are wondering what Aaaaaarrrrgh
Good Morning
Hmmmnn…gotta check that out…[:-^]
Going to be a mix of sun and cloud today…high of 62F…going for a low of 50F tonight…right now temperature is 46F…[:|]
Had a busy day yesterday involving a bunch of gardening scenarios…still have not seen what it was that messed up flowerbed though…[:S]
Getting some more pink schtuff today…and seeing about carving some of it up for a couple of steep valley walls…
Ummm…where is Ulrich?[:(]
The batteries are standard maintenance free lead acid deep cycle. Layout space is where you make it. I’m in a little 8x25 trailer and my layout takes up most of the front room. There’s just space for the door, a fridge and a tight standing room only kitchen that makes a postage stamp look big. I have the back of the trailer to myself, front room is for the trains. Then again I’m single so there’s no one that needs that space for a sewing space, useless flower print furniture, stacks of useless fashion magazines, etc. The layout is important so I made space for it.
Good Morning!!!
Coffee and a stack of Buttermilk flapjacks with real butter and Blueberry syrup please. Thank you.
Sunny, with a high near 75. Breezy.
Sue- tell Larry great painting!
Lee- $50 is a lot of money for a brush however……, considering the amount of electricity to run the vacuum cleaner almost hourly it seems, the wear and tear (though it is a Kirby so that is minimal. Durn things run forever. Ones 11 years old the other is like 30) and granted that isn’t much, but the bags filled due to the fact that you have to run it so much and of course my precious time, $50 doesn’t seem so bad. We brush her often, but obviously not often enough because well, let’s face it, we’re lazy.
Jim- [(-D]Not sure if the amount of things to do in a day is increasing, or I’m just slowing down[(-D]. I’m kinda leaning toward the latter[:-^] [(-D]. So, the pro’s have a quick project that took longer than they figured huh? Well I know all too well that feeling.
Well I got to check out the guys pick-up yesterdee and the generator is fried. I also said I think they (the body shop) wired the truck wrong. He took the generator in to the repair shop (yes there is still a place that rebuilds alternators and generators) and they said it was bad and that they’d check the truck out if he’d bring it in. Sounded good to me. One less thing to do right? Weeell not exactly. It sounds like he’s gonna get the generator back, have me put it on, look at the wiring, put in a cigarette lighter (doesn’t smoke so why he’s wanting that so bad…?) then he wants to take it to them. Ok, his nickel.
Mortar is still not dried so another day of odds and ends othern shower.
Ya’ll have a good day!!!
Good morning. It’s 58° with 90% humidity. Somebody up north left the door open. The high will be 82° and it’ll be partly cloudy.
Plan for today is to get the grass mowed. Anything else will come as it may.
Good morning, Diners. Chloe, I will have a large black coffee with a cinnamon roll, please.
Jim, If you look closely, you can see the side rods. He will probably try a side view on the next one. He just started painting this spring, so I think he is off to a good start.
I will hang out a little longer on Thursday.
Sue
Good Morning all,
Freaking cold outside for September, 52F, 594% Humidity, HI 63F (yes right), Rumors of Frost inland this week. Next thing you’ll hear is the Browns are going to win a game this season….
Jim I like to think I completed the required standards of one contract and I started another contract with the same organization. But if it’s double dipping then someone had to do it and it might as well be me, ha, ha, ha…
Todd, it will be the last dog brush you will have to buy…
Morning All,
I called off work today. Last night when I got off my temp was 101.6 and felt like dog doo doo warmed over. I feel better but still not right. The fever must be breaking though because I am sitting in the living room with the AC and ceiling fan on and I’m sweating like I’m outside in the sun. The only thing I plan on doing today is take a nap.
Hope everyone has a good day and prayers for those in need.
Morning All,
Currently 54 with an expected high of 89 under mostly sunny skies.
**Curt -**Hope the fever is nothing serious.
Wednesday is my normal day off, so I am heading to the hospital in a bit to see if the docs are going to give wife second round of chemo. Depends of how other things are going. Then do some food shopping, laundry, and house cleaning. If time permits I will continue to weather track.
Prayers to all in need.
Paul
Hello, everybody …
Jim CG … Glad to see you here.
Sue … I like Larry’s painting! [tup][tup][bow]
Bill T … I like that picture of the depot and steam locomotive.
Vincent … Looks like you are doing very well with the F units.
We’ll be driving through Illinois next week to HS reunion.
Cheers
Morn… Ah… Afternoon folks!
Chloe, just a refil on the coffee for the moment. Thanks!
Never got in here this morning as my son and granddaughter showed up early. Son had to drive to Penn Yan where he w*rks to get his annual hearing test. So I got to play with granddaughter #2 for a couple hours. My son got back here and called in an eye drop prescription refill for #1 granddaughter and had to wait for an hour to go get it. No sooner does he walk in the house than there is a pickup parking right behind him. The project engineer from Rochester Solar to get the installation inspected (So a car pulls in after him). The engineer had been trying to call me all morning and was getting a busy signal… My phone was off the hook down cellar. I must have bumped it when I shut everything down last night.
The guy from Rochester Solar was here to set up the internet access for the system through my modem and as soon as they are finished at his end will give me an URL and a password to access exactly what the system is doing on my computer. They will also be back sometime next week as some things need to be corrected in the electric box (Change out some of the breakers for slightly different ones, etc.). As of now the testing phase is in progress, so it shouldn’t be long before everything is OKed, NYSEG will be here to change to a different Meter, and I get to send a large check to Rochester Solar Technologies to pay for it! While we were down cellar the system was kicking out well over 4000 watts of power…
Tonight is Granddaughter #1s Kindergarten Open House which I am invited to so My son to come over for supper as well. BBQ Chicken (the Cornell Recipe), my favorite!
So… I have a couple hours to spend down cellar with the trains!
Later!

Good Lunchtime, Zoe - I’ll have a the lunch special, open face, and a Rio Grande mug for my RBF please. Thanks!
Galaxy, I tend to think of Charlie Brown when I see various forms of “Aaaaaarrrrgh!” (He’s usually saying that right after something to do with his ball team…) [:)]
Jeff, you’re absolutely right about making room for a layout. I have mine smack dab in the middle of my living room (which makes getting around it to a file cabinet back in a corner a wee bit awkward at times).[:-^]
It was another cool morning today, s’posed to reach mid-70’s (F) today, so not bad.
Sue, I don’t know that I’ve seen a prototype Shay in motion at normal running speeds (which admittedly, are slower than other locos), so not sure how ‘easy’ showing the rods (in motion) will be for Larry. That was just my curiousity talking as far as hoping for a side view. Larry probably can pull it off, though, based on that pic of his painting that you posted.[tup]
Ken, best wishes on Sue being able to get the stress test done (and on satisfactory results to that!).[angel][angel]
Lee, I figure that when somebody uses the term ‘double-dipping’, they’re just jealous ('cause they aren’t…). [swg] You’ve already finished one career; now you’re on your second one, eh? [:-^]
Curt, maybe w
Afternoon
Mountain Dew for me, thanks.
My welding shop got canceled today so I had an easy day and was out of class by 11. kinda a rip off for the cost of tuition.
Nothing new down here. So I’ll be in the corner booth for a bit
Good Afternoon
mmmmm…looking kind of busy in here today, I see…[:D]
Got some more gardening done this morning…and, of course, now I can has all kinds of modelling fun…
mmmmm…I need some more coupler springs again…
I can dig that. Mine takes all of what you could call the living room, and the dining room and a good part of the kitchen.
Afternoon folks!
Today has sure turned out to be a busy one… An old teacher friend (We call her ‘Ma’ for Mabel) who is organizing the annual Fine and Practical Arts Dept. get together, called to tell me she is heading into Geneva this afternoon with a pound of fresh churned Butter for me she got yesterday at a Mennonite stand on her way home from a trip!
The company that installed it will be monitoring for the next 25 years I think. If there is any problem, they will know before I would. There is a connection from the inverter to an internet box down cellar. In turn an Ethernet cable goes to the switch up here by my computer that is plugged into the Airport Express plugged into my Cable Modem… They are hooked up to the system 24 hours a day. They can monitor it for estimated output for the weather conditions, make sure it is perfectly synchronized with the grid, and make adjustments from their office when possible. I will be able to access the page my system is on at their website via a password and check on how it is doing myself as well.
Got a couple more feet of track ballasted and some rail painted this afternoon. It is light jacket weather outside already. Currently 59°F outside (High was at noon - 60°) and going down to the mid 40’s tonight. We seem to have gone from the middle of Summer directly to mid Fall around here. Nice not to have the air conditioners grinding away though. I do not want to have to turn on the heat yet! Not in September anyway.
Catch you all later tonight!

Afternoon Folks
Why am I off you asked Flo? I get to that in a minute but first a beer pleases.
Reason I am off today? While I was getting ready for work I was checking out my feet. Want to guess what is twice it’s normal sizes and is Purplish Red? [:-^] Yep, my right big toe that had the ulcer that had me out of work for 5 weeks.
Had some antibiotic left from the last time and took around. Silly old me was going to go ahead and go to work anyway. While I was heading to work I got thinking how any many respects this company has screwed me over and said the heck with this and made a right turn to the ER Clinch on the way to work.
Seems I have Cellists, a skin infection. (not the fat dimples you get on your fat butt) Toe is so swollen the skin has a shine to it! ER Doctor gave me a new scrip that I start tonight. I am to stay off my feet for the next 4 day’s and to contact my primary care giver.
My Primary Care Giver is the VA and waiting to hear from them. My guess is I will be heading to the VA Hospital in St Louis Thursday again.
While I am worried, this time I caught the problem quickly so not as worried as I was the last time.
Gary, so you heading thorough my neck of the woods. Any chances you coming close to Maryville IL 62062? Home of K-10 Model Trains

Ken! Get that checked out thoroughly! In diabetics it’s easy to misdiagnose the start of Charcot Foot as Cellulitis! Charcot Foot in it’s initial stages looks like Cellulitis and is very easy to misdiagnose. I started with a sore on the toe like you have. I then got an infection like you have. They called it cellulitis. By the time they realized they were wrong it was too late! My arch had collapsed and the damage was well underway! It was too late to do anything about it. I’m a walking talking example of what this misdiagnosis can do. You want to end up like me? Gety your doctor to get you to a podiatrist (foot doctor). NOW!
