January Coffee Pot, 16 Years Strong, Eggs, ham and lots of Coffee. Later. blackeye peas and pork. Happy 2021.

Good evening all,

We are getting SNOHIO! Everything is white. Windy as well. Supposed to go to rain and back again. Glad I do not have to drive to the office. I think I know what will kill magazines…slow postal service. Still have not received any of the March Kalmbach issues and usually they are all here by now. Did watch a comedy of errors today in the “footie” match. Usually when there is a tie (especially 0-0) you say it would have been a shame for one team to lose. Today it would have been a shame if one team had won. LOL. Did go to Mass and did see the Honda train on the way there. That was a win-win. Watched the start of the Daytona 24 and will watch the end tomorrow. DJ, sorry to hear about your friend. I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Mornin’ boys. Snohizo in Wild, Wonderful West Virginee. Hopefully the boyfriend can get the Youngest Princess back to college safely.

After dropping Middle Princess off at hospital, went to visit my mom, and share pics of the new kid. She had a care package made up for baby already. She and Jamie are close.

PickEd up all the women’s, and headed to Middle Princess castle, so Alexis could work on the nursery. I managed to really clamp down on the fingers on my right hand, forcing open a metal step ladder. Won’t be picking on the ukulele anytime soon. Man.

Good news, my long awaited engine finally showed up in the mailbox. It had been mailed before Dec 16, from Alabama. American Flyer (Lionel '84) Chessie 8459 in like new condition. Barely had time to lube it up and run it around the layout before I had to play chauffeur.

Rainy and cold [33] morning. Slept till 9. Sausage biscuit and sweet roll. SisterIL calling. Bet it, “Lets go somewhere.”

TV Church.

TV folks disappointed no freezing stuff around here. They are running around the VA border looking. Now all they need is for a tree to fall in Raleigh and they will be happy. Actually not a lot of news this AM.

Spanky, so sorry.

Snip, I took it and was fine. Shoulder mussle was sore for about 12.

Yeah, we’re getting snow here in the Richmond VA area, too late for Christmas when it might have done some good! You know, making things look picturesque and reflecting the lights nicely? All we had at the time was rain and mud! Jeez!

Four inches so far and it’s still coming. Well, I guess I know what I’ll doing today.

Mornin’ all.

Still coming to grips with losing my friend. Been thinking about her a lot, same with Linda. Didn’t sleep well.

Actually went up to the attic last night to do some work to get my mind off of it. Screwed down the boards to the supports, then pulled and measured the extra board I have that will go into the back section. I’ll cut and fit that today, which will finish this off.

Looks like major snow headed our way. Here’s the forecast as of early this morning:

Have a good one.

For your listening and watching pleasure:

Is there a risk in taking the vaccine, yes. But in

my case where I essentially have one foot in the

grave already the risk of NOT taking it is even

greater.

I have had to send out condolences to far to many

friends and acquaintances from here and

especially from the cancer website. It’s really

playing hell on trying to get motivated to do

anything.

Very well put DougDG! [bow] I agree. Sorry it has to hit some in the eyes before they can see.

The snow is heading east and good! We had hard rain before it turned to snow. Woke up to about 5" to 6" of very heavy heartattack snow. We may get another 1’ today yet. The Rusty Ranger and tractor did the job on the 1/2 mile lane and I also opened up everyone else’s drives while I was out there.

Wonder how much Doug M got?

Sorry about your friend Spank. [angel]

Hello there,

Rich…Spanky condolences.

Roy …keep getting better

Predicted snowmageddon has begun. Supposed to be 12 inches on the way, an inch so far.

We had preordered curbside ham loaf from a local eatery. Main roads good, side roads not so much. Snow is the kind that turns to ice as soon as it’s driven on.

Dinner is over, time to reclinerize.

Prayers for those in need and the end of this pandemic

Had to walk Youngest Princess down to the state road, but boyfriend got her back to college safe-and-sound. Now I can just sit back and enjoy the lovely snow in our sylvan setting. And play trains.

Just finished clearing four inches of global warming off the cars and driveway. Enjoying a mug of hot chawklet.

“Chawklet?” Well, I AM from New Jersey after all!

Maybe some cawfee later to go with the banana bread Lady F’s baking!

This is a little bit of what we had in the local mountains to the East of San Diego. Look up towards the mountains while throwing another burger on the grill. [C=:-)]

I am certainly jealous of all the snow some of you have. It’s been mostly rain here.

Lady Firestorm just got off the phone with her niece in Lansdale PA (Henning’s Trains territory [;)]) and the snow’s just starting there now.

Must be a very slow-moving storm.

So they are now prediting in excess of 20 inches for us.

Whoa Nellie, this is some snow !
