S.J.

A very Happy and Healthy New Year to all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Has been real windy and cold, now the wind has died down. Wed 67 Thur 69

In Calif. the license plate stays with the car. The new owner is suppose to transfer ownership over to him. With this car I sold last Oct. the registration renewal was due in another month so if he didn’t transfer ownership and renew registration then he is driving around with expired tags and you would think he would have been pulled over by now

Mornin’ boys. Sunny and a breezy 39 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. When every one else was celebrating the New Year’s, yours truly was performing a class 3 brake test, in cold snowy weather. Didn’t walk into my house until 0230 hrs. Just another day. But, it was the last trip for 3 weeks. Gonna take several days to just try and get healthy. Getting back on keto too.

Good evening all,

Good weather today. Went searching in the attic for train stuff and found lots. Nothing implemented yet, but have material for lots of projects now. Watched “The Two Popes” on Netflix tonight. Even if you are not Catholic, it is still a good show. I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Hello there,

hope all had a Happy New Year. Spent last evening at daughters place.

Great room

Daughters new great room with about 3/4 of the mounts installed, a few are grandson’s. I was standing in the kitchen area.

Was home by 10. Mrs and I went to 9am Mass today, watched the parade, took my Tahoe to AAMCO to have the transmixer rebuilt, a quick visit with mom then home. The whole clan was here for pork & sauerkraut this evenin and were all gone by 7.

lights

Farm house and town house lights. probably the last year for the trees, they’ve got a hard to treat fungus that will probably kill them.

While on pictures…all three granddaughers a couple weeks ago.

Best get to bed.

Prayers for those in need

Happy New Year!

Collards??? Let me check my list. That’s what I thought the Chief is trying to do me in again.[^o)] Collards can cause kidney stones. [:'(]

Going to try to work on the layout today. I need to purchase more screws to connect the joists to the L-girders.

Banks…Great photos.

Mornin’ boys. Chilly here. Speaking of chilli, do kidney beans cause kidney stones…?

[D)]

Banksie - Nice pics.

Chief is sending nice temps north to WV. Buckeye, please keep that snohizo in Ohizo.

Chilly here on the North Bluff as well Fife, but full sun helps.

Taking wife tp PT at 10:30 then no plans.

Dennis, that is weird that the plates stay with the car when you sell it. Seems it leaves you open for all kinds of issues.

Nice pictures Banks, The great room freaked wifey out… [(-D] She won’t let me have one deer head. SIL wants to give us that 12 point he got here last year but she is having no part of it. [:S]

Re-uped my CTT seeing as thet dropped the price an extra $10.00 to get me back.

Get to have my throat opened up some more tomorrow with that ballon thingy. It sure helped the last time so this time should get it back to the right size. It was so small the last time they did it they said I would need a secont shot at it to get to size without tearing it open. He said it should be around 22mm and it was at 10mm so they went to 15mm last time and will do the rest tomorrow.

We have a 5" lift mattress wedge coming today to help with my Gerd. Hope it helps.

Best get!

Morning. 52 and going to mid 60’s. 70 tomorrow with some showers later.

Dennis, agree with KEV. No transfer means you still own vehicle. Hope you have bill of sale to prove you sold.

Fifey, warm up from that day in the cold.

Banks, Wifey will not let me have mounts. Will put antlers in Train Box.

Country ham biscuits, blackeye peas and turnip greens [no collards yesterday].

Buckeye, Knob Creek is better [get the stronger version 120 proof].

Anyone heard from Brent?

Mike, you still chasing that round ball?

Later.

Good evening all,

Always, Chief, always. Busy day at work, but not overwhelming. Good weather again. I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mornin’ boys. Wet and 42 along the Alleghanie front range. Took Christmas down inside and out yesterday. Tree still up, as well as North Pole, and I’m being told that’s being put away this weekend.

After a nice fried chicken dinner, spent the evening in the train room. I’ve been running a mish-mash of equipment this past month, so it was nice to return the “old tyme” choo-choos to the 4 lines. Youngest Princess is supposed to finish painting my canal before she heads back to college.

Cloudy and 51. Suppsoe to go to 70. Rain later.

Chores to do.

Have a good one.

Good evening all,

Not as busy at work today. Weather still nice for this time of year. Watched Bluebloods. I hope everyone has a good day.

Mornin’ boys. Foggy and forties along the Patterson Creek cut-off.

Took Wifey and youngest princess to Lowe’s yesterday. They are having a 40% off/free delivery appliance sale. New GE fridge and dishwasher will be headed to Fifedom. Wifey happy. Went to Applebee’s to celebrate.

Perhaps I can get the youngest to help me set up a Shutterfly account today. Would like to fire up Sunday Photo Fun again.

Morning all. Rainy and 58. Busy cleaning house. State Senate candidate announcement here in our house tomorrow. well. got compounded. Wifey’s BrohterIL’s Dad’s funeral and her close friend’s Dad’s suneral at the same time as the announcement is here. WOW. Will do the BrotherIL’s visitation and rush back here from across the county to great folks here.

Have a good one.

Hello there,

Spent most of the day watching the PA Farm Show on PCN. Would love to go but crowds to big. Almost a phobia for me.
