Thanks Doug! Now that DOES look interesting!
Happy 4th to all. Stay safe.
Happy Forth o’ July everyone!!
Mornin’ boys and girls. Sunny and 72 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Steaks on the grill today, and I believe Ms Kelly wants to check out the fireworks at Deep Creek this evening.
Had a very nice trip on the train yesterday, as it was my first as the conductor (I cleaned up pretty). Weather couldn’t have been nicer, and had a lot of nice chats with the ridership.
Careful with those sparklers…
Happy 4th y’all !
Let the festivities begin !
Happy Birthday U.S.A. and many more to come !
Happy 4th of July, and thanks to the Vets who have made it possible!!
Happy 4th of July everyone!
The flags are up and flying in the driveway.
Hello there, Hope all had a good 4th. The clan gathered here at 7 for Burgers and Dogs followed by fireworks at dark. Bed is calling.
Prayers for those in need .
Afternoon. Back in office on PC. No drugs and no extra O2. Doing better. Did the shower and shave and blood ox was 88. Reclined on couch with no supplemental O2. Blood ox was 90. Climbing out of this hole. 
Dressed for the first time since hospital. Been wearing slip on gym shorts and tees.
88 and sunny. No rain for a few. Gardens and grass growing.
Back to the den.
Glad your doing better Chief.
Tue.95 Wed. 96
I dropped a Gargraves track pin right at my feet on the kitchen floor. No big deal, I have lots of them. but it annoyed me to no end that It just dissapeard, couldent find it. 3 days later I see it on the floor. I had swept once during that time.
It would be OK with me if the goverment banned fireworks sales or posession.
I have another scenery book but I ordered Realistic Scenery for Toy Train Layouts on eBay. Counting shipping and tax $13.83
Morning all. Had an uneventful 4th except for the pups fighting for the best spot hiding under me and the bed on Sunday.
Daughter, boyfirend, and grandson moved out on Friday. The house is way too quiet. I miss that little guys. Fortunately they’re not too far away. Still like having him around.
Did some upgrades to some DCS units for a friend over the weekend. Other than that haven’t done much with the trains. Spent a good amount of time in the pool.
EVeryone stay safe and cool today!
Mornin’ boys. Hot (heat index 100) over next couple days. Took advantage of Hot by filling cracks in Fife Drive with liquid driveway filler. Easy to use, but hard to do so neatly.
Youngest Princess has a dental appt, so Daddy-Daughter breakfast afterwards. I’m thinking pancakes.[dinner]
Good Morning
My brother and my nephew have left for Texas - my nephew will be going back to Kuwait for work by years end.
Work was slow, but got paid for the regular work day and the holiday - which is cool…
After work, went to Jenni’s on the bike, we took her car and went shopping for food, had dinner late and I was home by midnight after watching “Employee of the Month”…it was eh…
Line/Exec meeting tonight, I’ll be running it as the president is out. He’ll do the regular meeting on Thursday as myself and Jenni will be heading to Carlisle.
County Meeting tomorrow - may miss my softball game I have to attend the Trustees meeting prior to the regular 8PM meeting
Fife - my next Daddy-Daughter day is Monday the 26th - I’ve already been told - lol
Chief - one step at a time -
Mornin’ all!
Setting up to be a horrible week. Got pinged around 5:40 yesterday that we had a 9AM meeting this morning with that lovely Canadian client of ours. At 10:38 last night the owner emails me telling he wants me to “be the key person in this meeting”. WTF? I don’t know anything about what the meeting is going to address, it’s about penetration testing against our API. What does this involve? Has it been done or is it being done? Did the client do it or a third party? And on and on. Worse the client is using this Microsoft Teams software for the meeting, which is an absolute dog, won’t work on Firefox, and I have to use Microsoft Edge to get on it. Which will now start continuously bugging me to be the default browser on my machine. Ugh!
So I keep taking 2 steps forward, 1 step back on this project. Yesterday I got out my palm sander to smooth out grain marks on these bridge abutment pieces I’m cutting. I noticed when I painted the first prototype they really stand out. Anyway, I’d been using it off and on over the span of 25 minutes or so, and the rubber on the pad underneath shreds. Damnit! So now I’ve got to buy a new one of those. I hate it, I’d finally gotten the design down in my head for how I want to build the next set for the underarch bridge I posted earlier, about halfway into cutting the pieces, and now I’ve got to wait.
Gonna be a hot couple of days - mid 90°’s. Blech!
Today’s Meeting Monday, moved to Tuesday because of the holiday, so I won’t have any blocks of time free until after 1:30-1:45. Yay.
Have a good one.
85 degrees and sunny. Went to sleep as soon as read emails last night. Slept till 6:30. Slept in the bed the whole night for first time since hospital.
Shoulders hurt right now. Time for some meds. Not on aux. O2 right now. Getting better. Will take portable tank to use in truck but not in restaurant [bb-q and fried chicken] and Tractor Supply [black oil and corn].
Spent and hour and a half at one of our Chevy dealers yesterday. Looking at new Colorado. No aux. O2. Did good.
Hope all have a good one.
HOT is the word!
Well it is going to be mid 90s today so, you bet, the new AC that is yet not three years old, took a crap last night!!! [:(!] Called the guy at 10:37PM to leave a message for him to call me and he picked up. He said he will be here at noon?? We will see.
Chief, I am happy with our 2017 Colorado. Seats are not as comfortable as the Silverado but okay.
Turned on the AC in the shed so I have a place to hide that is cool. [swg]
Mornin’ boys. Sunny and 72 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Working on a new project in Fifedom, because Wifey discovered a leaking sink trap under the bar sink. A little plumbing. A little carpentry. Picked up a tray of supertunias while we were at Lowe’s as well. Little black bugs are murder outside.
Good to hear the Chief is feeling better.[Y]
Morning folks!
Some sprinkles, 80’s today. I’ll take it!
Not much to report - just takin’ it easy for a few days.
Chief - glad you are better [angel]
Good Morning - and it IS my Friday-----
Line/Exec meeting last night - I waited 15 minutes, we had 5 show, ran the meeting and out by 7:25 - ran home to close the windows, then met Jenni for dinner at Taco Bell.
Storms blew through here last night about 9 - mucho rain and thunder - Sunny now and up to 95 again.
County Meeting tonight, I need to get there early to discuss the new 2nd assistant Fire Marshall. 7 PM start time.
I should start packing later today - I have a lot to do tomorrow, cleaning and prepping the car, need the oil changed prior. Not sure if I’m doing it or I’ll head to a Valvoline place.
Still discussing Honeymoon plans, either OBX or OC, MD. She want to be near the beach and t
