Morning folks!
44, sunny, 56 for a high today. Sweet!
Everyone here has mostly recovered except the wife. She is still down, got it worse than any of us.
DonB - nice trip Chris had!
Dougsnotta - [(-D]
Kev - prayers for your wife’s procedure [angel]
Morning. 46 and thats up from 25. Cloudy and breezy so it feels colder. Rain moving in this evening for a few days.
Had early meeting with Charter School Principal and its Board Chair [my developer GF]. Wifey now excited on gardening projects and teaching gardening to the kids.
Got dermatologist appointment this afternoon. Followed by political event this evening. County Commissioner friend has her campaign kick off.
Buckeye, tell your two bucks to come to deep woods lane and feeder in Edgecombe County, NC. Plenty of good corn and no snow. Green food plots too. [:-^]
All stay warm [except Shake and Bake, who has perfect weather].
Good afternoon
Well Plan B kind of worked,
I replaced Humidifier cover and motor with the one I got off E-bay that had everything but the controller. Should of took right off but did nothing. So I had to install the old transformer board into it to make the fan work. Seems okay now and I still have all the other parts for spares. What a PITA!!! [banghead]
It may make it to freezing today.
Buckeye, If you can’t get that leaf blower working, get a Stihl BG86 gas, best hand held leaf blower you can get, hands down!
Thanks Roy, things are falling into place. Dr said yesterday the operation only takes an hour and twenty minutes and will leave a 5" cut. WOW! She will spend the night in the hospital and come home the next afternoon.
Good evening all,
Busy two days at work. Went to see Midway Wed. night. Good flick. Did not get good reviews, but I thought it did a good job of portraying what really happened. Showed some events I was not aware of. So you still learn stuff. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Rainy and 46 degrees.
Retirement party this afternoon/evening.
Something wrong with my new handheld Stihl leaf blower. Took three pulls to get it to crank. Usually Stihl only takes one. Guess it was because hadn’t been crank in a couple of weeks.
Later.
Chief, My BG86 usually takes 3 to 4 depending on how cold it is. 1 when it is warm. I have had it for close to 10 years now. Never let me down.

Thing is just plain good.
It is all the way up to 40 degrees today. They said today that so far this is the coldest November in history here. [:S]
Wife had her pre-op blood draw and EKG today. I have been leaving old CTT and Lionel catalogs at the waiting rooms just to see if they are still there the next time we go back. [swg] One way to get rid of them.
Hello there,
Mrs and I spent the last 2 days doing house stuff. Due to temperature in the 40s this PM was washing windows. More tomorrow.
Buckeye…18mm…OUCH!!!
Ready to crash.
Prayers for those in need
Good evening all,
Busy day at work. Enjoyed a terrific performance by older daughter’s 8th grade class musical. Did a great job with Alladin Jr. Well worth the trip. I hope everyone has a good day.

Mornin’ boys. Cold out. Working two trains today, and long hours at the yard during the week. Keeping my good shoulder down, and doing what I can to get us over the hump. No time for anything else, as I’m usually passed out by 7.
Youngest Princess came home for the weekend, so that picked me up. Wifey headed back for the grandsons’ birthday today.
Yes Banks, the stupid stone was measured at 18mm. The doctor will make a small hole in my right side, insert something into the kidney, break the stone and then suck out all the pieces. I will be in the hospital Friday and Saturday nights. I’m so looking forward to this. NOT!!!
Sun and 30 today. Soared to 35 yesterday but no sun so no snow melt. Fall Saturdays are my football watching days. Much better games than the lowly Lions can play. Our last club meet was at a members house five miles north of Toledo so we made a beer run for a truck full of Yuengs. They are not sold in Michigan. Kinda reminds me of the days when people would bring home Coors from out west.
S.J.
Santa Anna wind makes it warm 90 this is likely the last of the nice weather, 67 by Wed. and maybe rain.
Good evening all,
Mulcehed leaves again. Weather was sunny. Dressed for weather. Got the John Deere 21 inch self propelled back from neighbor after he got it running when it had been sitting idle for 2+ years. Purrs like a kitten. Over 30 years old. Will use next summer as back up for Toro. Watched Frozen again tonight. Hope the sequel is good. Good luck, Buckeye with the procedure. I hope everyone has a good day.

Morning. No 90 degrees here, Dennis. 44 and real windy. Wind chill in lower 30’s. Warming later this week. Staying in and no Church. Will try and get rid of this cold. More nuance than anything.
Have a great week ahead.
Hello there,
today supported a local VFD turkey dinner and a visit with Mom.
Mrs and I are slowly doing Holiday prep. Weight restrictions are getting really old.
Blew a brake line coming home from hunting last December. Bought a set of stainless brake lines but never got around toit. Yesterday broke down and had it towed to my GM mechanic nephew to fix.
Buckeye. …with all the attention on your kidneys how did they miss that stone when it was smaller.???
Best move on.
Prayers for those in need
Afternoon all!
Quick stop. Ms is still under from the stomach virus. Friday - Had to take her to our health providers new local urgent care center (not an ER with the attendant billing). Open 7 days a week 8-8 6 days and 12-5 Sun. She is slowly recuperating and I am still sketchy, but ok…have a great day all!
Good Evening,
Wow, lots of pukies going on, hope it all clears up quick! Hopefully will all be a memory before the holidays.
Had a couple of Dr visits Fri, seems like its getting to be a weekly event. A CT Scan done on my right leg and ankle, just to see if all is well. Then eye tests for Glacoma and field vision tests, all good there also. This week Sleep center mtg, they want to give me an CPAP mask, but dont know why, I sleep well. Then Retna Dr Friday, another injection. I think I’ve lost all the color in my eyes with all the drops, injections, etc…
Buckeye, best of luck on your upcoming procedure! Doesn’t sound like ANY fun at all!
Chief, what are you going to do with all your free time after all the appreciation celebrations are over? Congrats on a job well done! Bet your succssesor is a bit nervous.
Weather was really great here today! Patio was 86! (Maybe because the sun is getting through with all the trees gone.
Enjoyed the NASCAR races this week-end.
Not much else to report on, so take care all!
Good evening all,
A good day. Got outside lights up. Wife and I split a meal at Chilis. Gave out shirts to soccer girls tonight. Wife and I did a jigsaw puzzle. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Mornin’ boys. Overcast with a winter weather advisory in the Alleghenies. Need to get a haircut today. That’s it.
Hope Buckeye is mending nicely.
88 - The Walkersville Southern folks picked up our WM #7 switcher, so it’s out there now.
Quick pass through…
Dad is home, not 100% but he’s still breathing…We had is birthday early, today is his day, but he enjoyed himself as best he could, he did eat yesterday and that is a bonus.
Busy at work, may have news about the job later this week…
Back Later
