Good morning folks
It was a chilly 54 F as I stepped out the door on my way to the office. We are supposed to go up to 81 F today with some clouds. Then it is downhill from there with showers and thunderstorms moving in tonight and through tomorrow.
My FIL is doing well. His doctor visit went well and my wife spoke with the office about our experience with the bad doctor. We have to get copies of his records from the hospital so we can send them to the VA so that he can get his new maintenance medications through them. I have to call the township and complain about our neighbor’s yard and its three foot high grass. The people who own the property purchased it two years ago with the idea that their jobs would be transferred to our area. They would visit on weekends and most of the summer. However, the jobs never materialized and they put the property up for sale about two months ago. They were here a couple of weeks back and cleaned up some things but did not cut the grass. The realtor apparently doesn’t care because who is going to look at a house with 3 foot high grass in the front yard.
Tonight will be busy. My daughter has flute recital practice and then we have Cub Scout Den Meetings.
I got out my next project. I am going to weather two PRR Walthers USRA gondolas, and a C&O and NYC PK1 USRA 50-Ton Drop Bottom Composite Gondolas. I need to change put the couplers on the Walthers gons. Then I will start with weathering the wheels and trucks.
I hope everybody has a good day.

Morning!
Well, another new project arrived yesterday! Lionel UP 2033 Alco A-A units! Been looking for these for quite awhile, and finally found one(s) I like with an agreeable price. Now I don't have time to work on them. One broken wire to the motor. The power unit seems to run and the e-unit cycles well, but the pick up rollers, and the dummy's wheels are a bit bound up, in addition to everything being a bit dirty. I still can't wait to hook these up to the 2400 passenger cars! The best thing is no battery leak damage!
Still wiring and soldering.

Morning all. Had busy day yesterday. Cleaned and tuned Ranger boat. Ready to go. May go to Kerr Lake tomorrow for a "one dayer". Mowing today. Later
Hello from O'Hare airport where it is raining and my flight is delayed - not eage r to get on the plane anyway as I am in a middle seat in the back unlike the Chief's big chair. LOL. Thanks, Brutus! Great find, Kurt. The bride is worried since our home connectivity went down ("Your area is experiencing difficulties - thank you for calling.") and she can't update her blog and no one would visit it again so I told her I'd tell you about it. Hope to check in later tonight - $7 to sign on for a few hours - sheesh.
Doug: Tell her not to worry...I'm sure there are many faithful readers beside Brutus and myself. I tried signing up to make comments, and Yahoo wanted too much information. I finally forced myself to input what it wanted, it crashed on me twice, so I gave up, but I still read the blog.

Good Evening Y'all! Hope everyone is doing well. Got a email from that friend who is on a mission to an undisclosed location. Kind of criptic, not sure exactly what it was, but will check when he returns. Got Thomas on the TV for the kids and getting ready for bed time.
Tom, document everything with as little emotion as you can. Make a list and submit it to the state medical society/ state licensing board. Here it falls under the State Board of Medical Examiners, but it may be listed differently where you live. If you go online, you should be able to find the information regarding filing a complaint. You may find that he has a history of complaints....if so, they will have to act. It usually takes quite a bit to make things happen, but you should follow this up. You may also find that he has a history of litigation against him and may be able to join an existing case.
Well, I hope everyone has a blessed night.

Chief the MTH cat had a NS SD70M that was sharp looking.
The MTH catalog has a lot of nice stuff in it this time around. :yep:
I don't think the Chief buys much MTH.
The nice weather that we have had for the past several days is about to end with 4 days of not so nice predicted.
Went to sleep watching news. Worked hard outside today. Fertilized yard after mowing. Sidedressed garden plants. Mowed pond path and bank with JD. Usually use weedeter for that project. Sprayed garden, roses, trees and grapevines. Then sprayed Roundup along pond path. Shot squirrel with .17HMR when he stole a peach from peach tree. Yes, the D*#* rascal was eating little peaches. Next is the groundhog that is now eating my lettuce.
On MTH engines [Miss Edna gave me caalogs two weeks ago]. Do not buy. Sounds are bad and horns are horrible. If I do buy them, they are dummies. Only Atlas and Lionel engines for me. I do buy a few of "Mikey Boys" rolling stock. Find them with hard to close couplers or they pop open under a load. I do know he makes sorry A** switches.
After that one, I had better as forgiveness and go to bed. Sleep tight.

Good Morning All from NE Ohio
where we have a cool day on the North Coast.
John - the Chief has a tin ear. Remember he doesn't even live close to real trains to know what they really sound like. I live only a 1/4 mile from both NS and CSX mainline tracks and hear them all day and night long.:thumb: MTH have the most realist sounds I have ever heard.:mrgreen:
This is an original Lionel 400E that was visiting our museum. :mrgreen: Vintage from 1930 and it still runs. :thumb:

Good Morning everyone. Should be a easy day today. One case, not mine, and so I just have some rounds to make and then go home. Bride had her last day at the Breast Center yesterday. She will be going to the cardiac floor, but will only need to work 1 or 2 days a month.
Chief, be carefull cutting with the tractor too close to the lake! Had a friend (living in GA, but moved here from CA) who rolled into the lake. You just can't fix stupid. Anyway, it has been on the warm side here lately. Temps in the 90s and I haven't felt much like working outside. Steve has inspired me to get the layout much further along than it currently is. The MIL is coming tomorrow night, and leaving Saturday afternoon. When that happens, I will get back to the layout.
Well, Happy Friday Eve to everyone. Hope it is a good weekend for everyone.
God Bless,

MORNING ALL
I just read the Chief's wee hour post, I knew he had some good in him somewhere, just took awhile to come out.(MTH)
Cloudy 48, looks like rain but none forecast. Still waiting for sons to come and help me move the boat so I can plant tomatoes and cukes, gave up on pepers as the rabbits eat the leaves off the plants and then no good.
Enjoy your day,,,,,S.J.

Good morning folks
It was 62 F and raining on the way in this morning. It is supposed to reach 77 F with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Tomorrow is supposed to be real nasty with 1 to 2 inches of rain.
No modeling last night. My daughter had flute recital practice and we had Cub Scout den meeting. Since I am a civil engineer I talked with our Webelos about engineering. They are working on their Engineer Activity Badge.
Tonight we have a Scout Leaders meeting to discuss our upcoming camping trip.
I spoke with the township about our neighbor’s three foot high grass and they will be sending someone to look at it. Our township code enforcement is pretty tough on these type of things. They will give the owner and the realtor so many days to fix the problem or they will site them. They can and will post the house. You can’t sell a house that is deemed unfit for habitation. Also the township could send a crew out to cut the grass and then charge and fine both the owner and realtor. Not only is the grass unsightly it can hide vermin and such. Since we have problems with lyme disease and West Nile encephalitis they do not fool around. Our township has in the past been a hotbed for crows and cardinals dying from West Nile. Several have been found on our block.
I hope everybody has a good day.
