I decided that since I was up anyway I would open a new diner. The old one can be found HERE.
The diner has been moved to Shreveport, Louisiana this month. Enjoy.
I got a little sleep but not much. Below is a photo of the paintball impact area after I cleaned as much as possible out of my hair and changed my shirt obviously. It was a very bright red paint. A partial bruise can be seen forming behind my eye. It hit between the eye and the ear just below my temple.
I have no idea who fired it, I didn’t even see anyone.
I hope Ken is doing well. Having doctors waving scapels in your direction can be a very thing. I know, I’ve been there.
Good morning, y’all. Jeeze, Jeff, you could have lost your eye or worse, had an accident. Who the heck doesn’t like you that much?? Hope you feel better quickly. Going to a Perkins restaurant for breakfast and the WallyWorld. Going to look for the WEIRDEST Folks . Thinking of taking a camera. lol
I never thought I would look forward to going to work on a Monday but after being cooped up in the house for 9 days I’m ready to get back to normal. Harbor Freight sent me a 20% off coupon so I’ll be headed over there today to see what they have that I can’t live without.
Jeffrey…I will have to take you to task if you don’t report that paintball hitting you where it did ASAP!!! I mean Like NOW!!! Today!!! This hour!!! Oh. BTW thanks for moving the diner…I though about it at 7 pm but thought I’d wait it was too early then, guess Ulrich either slept through it or wasn’t feeling well enough to move, or decided to let someone else move it…BTW- WHere ARE we???
Lee- I tend to stay away from such shopping unless there is something in particular I need. Because there are a WHOLE BUNCH of things “I can’t live without”!!!
Well, 1 load of laundry left adn a few diishes. That about sums up my chores.
will be around 90* today, I know some of you will be jealous. Hum-did-ity is higher today too!
Sunday Breakfast buffet please. Oh you betcha coffee……LOT’s of coffee thank you.
IT RAINED!!! Last evening and off and on throughout the night. Brenda looked at the gage today and said 1 inch. Haven’t seen it myself, so knowing her it could be ¼” . Supposed to rain today also. If it rains this evening I’ll laugh. Hasn’t rained in 6 months enough to make a sugar cube sticky, but the day of the 4th of July celebration….
Jeff- As far as the movies go, you had all the luck with the theaters didn’t you. Actually, I didn’t see many movies in the theaters myself. Most I’ve seen were on rental tapes. Wasn’t really a big Movie House goin guy. Still not. Your cable lineup sounds a lot like ours except ours rarely goes out[:-^]. Luckily what “Good” channels we have, carry most shows I like or enough I don’t care about the ones we don’t. There a rash of paint ball snipers around there? That’d juuuust about p*** me off. Not funny and very dangerous. I hope it was
Good morning. It’s 80° and partly cloudy. The high will be 95° with a 20% chance of rain. The expected heat index will be about 104°.
I thought about calling in a report on the paintball shooting yesterday but report what? All I remember is getting tagged. There was a dust cloud on the other road from where a vehicle had gone past apparently quite fast. I didn’t see the vehicle, only heard it. Crunching gravel, loud pipes, loud music. That describes 90% of the vehicles out here, cars and trucks. I don’t even have a color. There’s a bunch of pine trees between the roads so unless you’re looking more or less straight across you’re not going to get a real good look. But I’m going to keep an ear tuned for those pipes. I don’t care what type of vehicle you have, how big or small, what color, every vehicle has a unique sound. You can change the color and appearance but unless you change out the exhaust system and re-tune the engine that sound is going to be the same.
Going to mow the parents yard today IF the tractor doesn’t decide to have a Murphy attack and the heat doesn’t get to be too much too fast. That’s a problem sometimes in this part of the country. Sometimes it heats up slowly and other times it’s a bang-on full heat wave before 11 am.
I go to w**k at 3 PM today. Last night I built the 3 Accrual 55 T hoppers, put on Kadee’s and metal wheels, weathered and put coal loads in them. It took about 3 hours to get everything done. I will check the coal loads in a bit to see if they dried OK. Before work I plan on painting the parts of the PRR tower so that it does not look like plastic as much. I ordered AIM weathering powders yesterday for motive power weathering and Jeff gave me tips on how to do it.
Jeff- I’m glad you are OK. It could of been much worse. My first thought was teenagers being stupid.
I sure hope Ken is doing OK
Lee- I know how you feel. I’m glad you are healing so well.
Simon- France?
DerJohn- Sorry you have to move. Are you going to be able to salvage some of your layout? The VA moves slowly at the best of times.
Hope everyone has a good day and prayers for those in need.
Simon … Thanks for posting the pictures of the trip… Also, thanks for informing us about Ken. Please tell Ken we all care about him.
Jeff … I’m glad the headache improved, but WOW ! … My 2 cents, the police should be informed because if the idiots continue their “fun” eventually somebody will have a major injury. If they shoot somebody who is driving, they could cause a serious collision. Police need to stop them before it is too late. … Thanks for moving the diner.
Zoe, I’ll head over to the Breakfast Buffet, but would appreciate it if you could bring a mug of dark roast coffee in mt R&GV RR Mug. Thank You Ma’am!
Jeffrey, DO call in the incident as it may well be one in a series of similar acts. It may help somehow, and preserves your rights as well. You are very lucky it wasn’t an inch forward…
Will be another warm day here in the Finger Lakes Region. Currently 78°F outside with a high in the mid to upper 80’s later. Will be a good day to do laundry and play down cellar in the Train Room!
Good more-or-less lunch time Diners! A couple of bacon crepes with maple syrup and coffee please - Harry’s treat (unless this is your first visit Harry - I’ve been out so much I’m not up to date with who’s who any more. Really good weather for our 145th Anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867, in Canada), which united three colonies into a single country called Canada within the British Empire.[1][2][3] Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the name was changed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was passed. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as by Canadians internationally. (thanks Wikipedia!) Haven’t heard from our West Virginia friends - hope they weathered the storm OK.

Was this reported? Hope everything is ok…
