Banks - Never made it to Delgrosso (nor anywhere else this year).
My dancecard 'tis a bit full for that weekend, as it will be through October.
Morning all. A nice cool morning here. Weather’s been wacky lately. Sweaters one day and back to shorts the next. I guess that is the Fall for you. Love this time of year.
Went to the brother-in-law’s yesterday to watch football/tailgate. I’m glad my Wolverines came through. I was a little worried early on.
We’re going to another BBQ today. Fingers crossed with the weather.
Roy -Congrats on the retirement!
Hello there,
been a lazy weekend so far. Yesterday was cool and rainy. Kept the gas log lit most of the day. I had a couple of naps and went to a parade to see the grandaughter followed by a pleasant meal at a local eatery. Today was 7AM Mass and a trip to the flea market and more nap.
Got mom in a local home for rehab so we get a chance to rest. Not sure how long they will keep her.
No plans so far for a picnic for tomorrow. Maybe Mrs &I will have a hamburger and tater salad on our own if the kids don’t show.
So far I’m high bidder on 50 pieces of O guage straghts on the bay.
Best move on.
Prayers for those in need.
Good evening all,
Ruined Saturday by having a fender bender with Encore 
Worked all day Sunday in the yard. Listened to Indycar race. Foyt team was 10th and 11th. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Good evening all,
Roy, congratulations on retirement. Enjoy! I recommend it.
I’ve just been laying low with this heat wave for about a week. Been over 105 for over a week now. My son helped me fix a problem on the pool. We installed a new water intake pipe that goes to near the bottom of the pool. Now don’t have to worry about low water causing filter sucking air. I can still put my skimmer back on if needed. The ideal situation would be to have two intake pipes. One for the skimmer and one for the filter. It used to be that way but got dumped when they redid my pool years ago. At least now, I can go away for a few days without worring about the pool. Hope all are well. We are’nt having any problem with ash/smoke from the fire yet. Hope they get it out soon.

Evening all!
Had a great day with beautiful weather. Spent the day on the water and with friends.
Ray - thanks and glad you came up with a fix for the pool!
Mike C - sorry about your fender bender. Hope the damage is minimal to fix.
Banks - hope the rehab helps your mother. Enjoy the break as best you can.
Robmcc - thanks! 3 days in - so far so good!
Wish it was July 4th instaed of september 4th.
It’s kinda gray skies but suppose to reach 84 before late sfternoon storms arrive.
Still a little tired from a Saturday night wedding but moving along.

Morning all. Sunny and 84. Drywall folks puttingon another coat of mud. Subs seem to be dragging it out.
Took Wifey on a road trip to a town 20 miles away [around 3 PM yesterday]. first time I have driven on Sunday after meds on Saturday. Did good. Did get tired but a break at Cracker Barrel helped. [Y] [;)]
Rob, did not get where you are living. Must be a YANKEE by putting on a sweater.
That brings up a subject. Guy on rifle forum takes all comments about CA serious. Told him he would have a problem here as we joke on the CA guys all the time. All in jest. We do the Yankee and Southern thing on there and everyone picks back and forth. Oh well.
Have a good and safe holiday.
Chief…I remember while visiting Beaufort one August bout 30 years ago. We got up one morning and were relieved it was only 78 degrees. Coolest since we’d been there. The locals were wearing jackets and complaining of the cold.
HHave a good Holiday
Good Morning,
Took a ride with Jim back to Pontiac to pick up his tractor. A lot of guys loading out. Was a good show this year and the weather was perfect.
Very nice here 79 heading to 87 later then the bottom falls out for the rest of the week, The Shag-bark hickory are turning already. Winter is on the way. [:(]
Hello there.
Lots of signs of that here too. The high Saturday was 54 with a cool rain most of the day. All but a couple pairs of Barn Swallows left this week. Bet the rest will only be here a few days as they usually arrive a week or so before Memorial Day and leave around Labor Day.
Somebody wanted the O Guage track I was after as I got outbid. I only bid cause it was in really nice condition and it was cheap . Can any of you guys tell me what O track is worth ?
I’m planning on having a loop for Prewar O on my layout when it’s done.
No word from either kid so Mrs &I had burgers, tater salad and corn on the cob on our own.
Best move on. Mrs wants to make some no sugar peach jam.
Prayers for those in need
Good evening, Nice day today. Started out hot but a cool front came through about 1:00PM and it got real nice. Strange thing is we have had sweet light for about th
Today I went to a BBQ party in Pasadena so I went up the 210 right through where the fire was. Thank goodness the freeway was opened last night or I would of had to make a big detour. The fire had burned on both sides of the freeway for several miles right up to the freeway. The fire is out now except for smouldering spots and there were firetrucks along the freeway putting out some spots.
Good evening all,
Wife and I did a jigsaw puzzle. Weather warm. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Capped a great day yesterday with a final cruise on the lake. The boat gets winterized tomorrow. Got to pull it out of the water today. Otherwise taking it easy today.
Banks - prayers for your friends son and your mother [angel]

Only CheapClassica above since this morning.

Tonight I cooked for the 1st time a pot of Lentils, one pound, small beans I think. Not as part of my dinner, I’ll eat them throughout the day. They are more fibrous than prunes, well it depends on serving size.
A quick roll-by inspection. Damp and 60 in the Potomac Highlands. Gotta head to station for some admin stuff, then over to yard to start some clean-up.
Banks - Good luck with everything you have goin’ on there.
Aloha. It is nice cool fall weather downtown today. I am busy at the new job. Thinking about making some layout changes after hurting my back for the first time in my life a few weekends ago so that everything would be closer to the edge of the layout and I wouldn’t have to go crawling on top of it. Praying for Bank’s friend’s son. Dennis, lentils can be tasty!
