D. Baker, nice to hear you are driving again. Must feel great to get your independence back after so long. Keep up the healing.
Need to work on tax preparation this week prior to seeing tax lady. No fun but necessary.
Got something in the mail a while back from firefighters who say new microwave towers over fire stations are causing illnesses. Article in paper today disputes it saying the radio waves given off are below federal standards. Who are you going to believe? Fireman claim the danger is up to a three mile radius from the station. That puts me in harms way if it is true.
Went for walk this morning in park and some yahoo with a leaf blower was out there at 8:30 in the morning blowing dust all over heck. Which is bad for my COPD. I have been coughing since I got home.
VA Durham NC a zoo!! Took 1hour and 15 minutes to get a parking space [double parked until one came available]. 10 minutes to get photo for ID card. Folks were extra nice. Some pitiful sights there. [:(]
Ray, they start at 7:00 around here with the leaf blowers, etc. Even the trash trucks (3) start working the neighborhood at 7. Seen them queue up just outside our street, and soon as it strikes 7 there on the way.
Yep, drove Bob and I to a train meet in Buena Park last Sunday, what a relief! Picked up 3 GN box cars for $10 ea, wouldn’t have bought them except Kay’s relatives are coming out next month, and they all worked on the GN. So will have a GN train running around.
Chief, that wasn’t a bad wait. Just think what it would have been if you hadn’t texted me you on the way there, and I wouldn’t have told you to go ahead and use my name. You would still be there, being counseled on Buckeyeisms the entire time. See its all in who you know, not what you know.
Stayed off the feet all day at work, but when I got home, they were throbbing. Soaked them in epsom salts and they feel better. Work went well today as I got the labs done for once in one day. Watched the Flash and Izombie. Not really liking the direction is heading with this time shift thing. Did get my Indy GP tickets ordered very late last night. I hope everyone has a good day.
A 16 month old female mountain lion made famous in a series of remote camera photographs left the Santa Monica mountains early on a recent morning and somehow managed to cross the 8 lane 101 freeway near Camarillo.
Scientists hope she will find a genetically unrelated mate on the other side of the freeway.
I mowed both the front and back yards today, it wasen’t to high so not to hard. Tomorrow I will apply Weed and Feed the little white pellet kind. I have used this before and it really makes the lawn grow to give it a good start to better withstand our hot summers.
Gloomy and damp on the North Bluff today. 37 going to 52. The rain they were ranting about all day yesterday never happened… On a good note: Looks like I will get the mini cigarette lighter video camera today for making movies of the trains running around the layout. That should be fun. Thinking of putting it on the roof of the K-Line speeder.
Aloha. I’ve spent the week home on a sort of spring break staycation (we’re still open but the bride and youngest were home). It turned out to be ‘decluttering’ - a word meaning throw things out. I don’t mind the chance to discover things and clear out more space for train-related things. Might tackle the basement (shudder). Hope today is better, MikeC. Kev, I’ve used an old Flip brand camera in a wagon pushed by Thomas or Ivor to take a layout film. It’s fun!
Went for the echocardiogram this morning. Tech wouldn’t tell me anything but after the first imaging was done she consulted with the resident cardiologist and the took some after giving me an IV loaded with something that really lit up the heart on the screen. Hopefully my cardiologist will get to review the results and give me some info later today.
Need to figure out what I’ll be taking to the museum tomorrow. Haven’t run the Challenger with the woodside reefers for awhile, perfect !
DougDG, Best of luck with the test. Hope you don’t glow in the dark now. [:O]
Well that video camera was a bust. Did not work. China,what can you say???
Hope I get my money back. [:S]
Cooler and some rain the past couple of days here. Been really busy at work lately. Seems like I have not escaped before 6pm for many days.
I’ve won a #30 water tower and an operating stock car on e-bay recently. They should be arriving in the near future. The operating stock car was listed as ‘operational’. We’ll see when it gets here.
TGIF boys. Cool, rainy 38 in the Mid-Atlantic region. Gotta go to the Tuxedo place to get fitted this morning. Big shindig for oldest princess this weekend.
