Good afternoon. It’s 79° with 80% humidity. The high will be 85° and will feel like 90°.
Had a rough night and didn’t get to sleep until after 2am. So I slept in this morning and really didn’t bother getting up until I heard my nurse knocking on the door. No progress on the game thus far today. I really don’t feel like messing with it right now.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Galaxy … Sincere condolences for you regarding the passing of your MIL. The Chapel Car is now coupled to the Diner with prayer candles lighted. Please tell Mrs. Galaxy, we Diners care about her, and we are sorry she lost her mother. I read the posts here expressing condolences, and each one may be comforting to you, Mrs. Galaxy, and other family memebrs…
YGW … Sorry to hear about your ordeal with the car license tags. Your feelings about government and its petty little rules are understandable.
Richard … Thanks for telling us about your model railroad. I recall visiting the model railroads in the San Diego museum, and they certainly impressed me. If you have questions about how to do things, this forum is a good place to ask.
JohnBoy … I continue being very concerned about you. I Pray for you, and hope you get the medical treatment you should have already had.
Karl … I like your Mikado so far. Can we look look forward to photos after it is painted?
Well, erm
MOH greatly appreciates the outpouring of sympathy! Thank you guys very much.
So many condolences from so many of you, MOH really enjoyed all the thoughtfulness.
I made a “card” of copied condolences to go in a “rememberance book” for MOH when we get around to making one. Thank You.
Went to the funeral home to do some planning. FIL wants to be buried in the Veteran’s Cemetary, which is 3 hours away in Bath, NY. Can’t make all the arrangements today as it is closed for the holiday! We picked out a casket that MOH and I both automatically gravitated to in the room. It was left up to MOH {and me} by my FIL to pick which one. SInce we both gravitated to it, we picked it, though it was straight across from the door at the far end of the room, so I am not sure whether it’s location was the draw, but to me it had a glowing positive aura around it. FIL liked it and agreed to it. Silvery gray with chrome “jewelry” and pall bearers bars. No hassles on any front today. It will be a private funeral, just the 3 of us.
We went and informed the one job and then to FILs to pick out her outfit. Both MOH and I thought of the same thing, and FIL Smiled when we answered as to when he asked what we thought, as it was his choice too. SHe was always very fond of her embroidered German shirts, and we picked one with roses on the collar and rings of roses on the placket {the button row}, and her favorite "going out’ light weight Embroidered jacket.
MOH asked one more time to do a calligraphy “name plate” for her in the fancy wirting I do. It will go with her.
Now just a waiting game for us, and FIL has his hands full with what to do Estate-wise as Executor.
I hope so Garry. See,I decided today would be the day. I Shot a light primer coat, then after it dried I started with the engine black. Got the tender done, turned my attention to the boiler and that heavy cast metal boiler slid off its stand and fell to the tabletop.[:(!][8o|][banghead] Scratch 1 headlight assembly and bracket!!! had it been a brass or plastic boiler it might have been ok, but the headlamp appears totalled. [sigh][:(][|(] I did get the rest of it painted, it’s hanging from a heavy wire in the shop right now. And yes, it will get fixed, just not as fast as I intended. At least none of the plumbing got messed up.
Well despite not feeling well today I did some more work on the game. Native Fury is growing slowly. Today I added in the subchart for the rural airport. That only has six blocks which cover three parts of the runway (center, north end, south end), the airport office and pilot’s lounge. It’s advisable to look around on the runway for a certain object BEFORE entering the pilot’s lounge, otherwise bad things could happen to the character. I added a bit of mystery by throwing in an unearthly shimmer at one end of the runway. However the character can’t enter this shimmer - yet. The programs size is up to thirty-one diskette sectors.
Well it’s time for me to call it a night. See y’all tomorrow.
Good evening, everybody .
Galaxy … I know those decisions are the kind nobody wants to make. Prayers for your family.
Jeff … Your creativity is remarkable.
Karl … I hate it when stuff like that happens. Sometimes its is hard to keep from losing religion. A suppose you can be philosophical and say it could have been worse such as a fall all of the way to the floor.
Speaking of mishaps, I had to take apart some of my new benchwork this evening, and put it back together as I corrected a measurement error. Sometimes I make extra work for myself when I am a doofus. Galaxy knows about that word. To coin a word, I 'dooficated" my measurement. [sigh]… Galaxy, do you like the new word, “dooficated”?
Have a nice evening everybody.
Thank you Garry.
I don’t know about “dooficated”…it sounds too much like “deficated” - } but then again, you might have expressed words meaning just THAT when you caught your error!!!
*deficated: {bowel movement;*Slang:pinch a loaf; poop; crap; turd; dump;dump a load, take a dump,etc.etc, etc}
You are free, of course to use any words here that you would not mind any young MRRer to read. They might "dooficated’…though probably for the reason i mention!
I DID look into something and Found “Doofusistic”-[fr. doofus, a stupid, incompetent person]
**done by a doofus, or with a doofus, or to a doofus, or in the name of a doofus, or in llieu of a doofus, or just with a doofus-like flair**
morning coffee in the diner…
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING!!!
Today is Tuesday, October 14th, 2013!
MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!
Today’s fun limmerick:
Amazingly, antelope stew
Is supposedly better for you
Than a goulash of rat
Or Hungarian cat;
But I guess that you probably gnu.
There was an old shark named Gramps,
Whose Jaws had once been like clamps;
But these days he hums
'Cause his jaws ar
well back to work for me today fellas, after 3 months off I am not wanting to go there at all. I have started to put resumes out again in hope you finding something better. I go in at 6, about 45 minutes from now so I will try to catch up again with you guys later this afternoon or tonight.
Also forgot to mention, I’m going to be looking at new phones tonight. well, seeing how I feel after a ten hour day,lol
Morning all! [C):-)]
Flo, Can I get another fried egg, bacon & scrapple sammich this morning. Yesterdays we deeeeeelicious![dinner]
Wazzup everyone? This place was a ghost town last night. Is Monday night football that powerful??[*-)]
Not much planned for today, a couple of phone calls, gotta send money to MR for another year, gotta renew my web space contract too.
Hahaha, losing religion, thats funny. [(-D] When we were kids, when one of us got in trouble my Mother would go on a tirade, yelling and griping for hours. The rest of us would giggle that someone was being read the “Book of Hebrews”. [swg][(-D][:-^]
But it was my fault for putting on the same jig that I use with plastic models, knowing it wasn’t a good fit.[D)]. Once the Floquil smell dissipates (a few days) I’ll take another look at it. I know already I can save the bracket, and maybe, just maybe I can straighten the visor on the headlight.[angel]
Well see!
Good Morning!!!
Coffee and a stack of flapjacks with some of that NYS maple syrup please. Thanks
Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 1pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 1pm and 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 71. [^o)] Wouldn’t that pretty much be “chance of showers and thunderstorms today until 4pm”??
Richard- It sounds like your Model Railroading experience is on par with the rest of us so…[Y]…you’re off to a good start.
Got the yard mowed yesterday and about half the rose of Sharon bush trimmed back before Brenda who has been on me to hack that bush back and says that she doesn’t care if the thing dies but didn’t want it dead, came out and said (ahem) “just don’t cut up my Rose of Sharons. [:|] “woulda been nice to know that you changed your mind before I started”, She went on to say she meant bleeding hearts which were buried under the branches of the RoS. I asked what were they and she said they have flowers that look like hearts. Nothings blooming now. I asked if she’s setting me up. She said nothing.[:-^]
It’s raining now and a light in the kitchen at the restaurant needs replacing so that’ll be a project for today along with the groceries then wo*k at 5.
Ya’ll have a good day, ya hear!!!
I’ll have the same as Todd but drop the coffee and bring me a Tabasco Lemonade.
Good morning. It’s 72° with 94% humidity. The high will be 85° and will feel like 88°.

Yesterday I got some work done on the game with getting the airport module tied in starting at line 3000. Today I’ll be going back to line 2000 to start tying in the rest of the trek through the forest and it’s perils. After that will come an abandoned motel, a series of dunes, a lakeside park. That’ll finish off the first file of the game and thus completing the first flowchart. There will be two more files, thus two more flowcharts and a lot more trouble for the games character (I haven’t picked a name for him yet) to get through or die trying. The goal of the game is to find an as yet unnamed Native American artifact.
I have no other plans today.
Galaxy- My deepest condolences and sympathy to your family on the passing of your MIL. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Mornin’…
Harumph… Not in a good mood this morning. Blood sugar is up where it shouldn’t be (145) and I don’t know why… Well, yes, I have been eating things I shouldn’t be eating I guess, but… [|(][sigh]
Zoe, just a cup of dark roast coffee I guess. I’ll go sit in the back and be grumpy!
I got all the upper windows cut out on the walls of the Blacksmith’s shop last night. After checking specks I will need to pour one more wall for it as one is not right. Making progress, little by little though.
Sun has peeked through and the clouds seem to be opening up a bit. Might turn out to be a decent day after all.
Later!

145? Is that all? I’m sure my father’s is higher than that. His doc has him recording his levels so he can work out the meds for him. He’s been averaging 173. My doc is happy if mine is below 150.
Morning All,
Currently it is 34 with an expected high of 64 under sunny skies.
Woke up this morning with a swollen left side of my face, from my lip to my cheek. Inside of my lip feels like I bit it. Daughters want my to go see the doc or dentist if the ice does not bring the swelling down, so we shall see what happens. No pain and feels a bit numb like a shot of novacaine.
Prayers to all in need.
Paul
I have to admit, I was a bit worried about speaking up around all of the old timers. Thank you for all of the “welcomes.”
My plans for the day are rather mundane. W**k and maybe get a haircut. I am also trying to decide if I am going to go out for a bike ride over lunch. I am still a little sore from the ride on Saturday.
Edit: Sorry. I edited out the objectionable word. I won’t let it happen again.
Yeah… But I like it be 110 or under in the morning (120 absolute high) and under 140 before bedtime (150 being the limit). My Doctors like it in that range too… [(-D]

Afternoon Gentlepeople …
I’m up on Colpoys Bay in our cottage getting some rest…so called.
I’ll sit with Ray at the back. Hopefully he is not too grumpy…
Welcome Richard. My philosophy is more the merrier. Oh Richard W_ _ K around here is spelled w**k, that word gets a few of the crowd all worked up.
Well guys it has been blue skies cool weather finally here in NOVA. The VP here is giving me an ulcer. Had a testy argument yesterday, received a call this morning at 7am, multiple calls during the day. I think it is all settled. Now maybe I can get back to regular stuff. Phew!!
Howmuss- you know the saying how do you eat an elephant ? One bite at a time. Some projects I take on take are like that little by little, Which does NOT suit my personality but it is the only way I can make any headway. You are making progress ! Hurray for that !
Galaxy - I am sorry for you all and yesterday I had a running battle going on at w**k and did not get a chance to pass along my sympathies. I have already offered up a [angel] for you and yours.
Jeff - did you paint that bus ? That is pretty incredible ! Love the John Wayne picture. Made me laugh. My dad and I used to love to watch the Duke.
Gary - Thanks . I felt bad for the gal on the other side of the counter. You could see it in her face that she felt bad for having to enforce a horrible bad requirement. But she did it with Grace which made it go easier.
Well guys got to get back to w**k TTYL.
