Well, time to head out to camp. All packed all the equipment and managed to fall down the cellar stairs taking a hand cart down to blow up the tires. I bet there will be some major bruises on my leg by tomorrow morning...... Just waiting for the guy with the key to the gate who will also help me unload equipment when I get there (we are co-volunteers for the week at music camp).
I will see all you good folks in a little over a week......

It turns out that it was a fiftieth birthday party for one of my father's friends. Talk about a big meal! BBQ brisket, BBQ pork chops, spiced sausage, BBQ beef ribs, assorted vegetables including homegrown tomatoes, sodas that I didn't know existed in this part of the country and that's just starting the menu.

Good evening,
Haven't been doing much around here other than lurking, because of 4th-Of-July celebrations and finishing my decoder installs. We got lucky weather-wise, they had been predicting rain but it stayed dry long enough to do the fireworks. Then today we spent half the day at a neighbor's daughter's wedding reception. Large amounts of pit beef and pulled pork BBQ, mmmmmm...!
Spent most of my Friday free time installing decoders in a pair of P1K Budd cars. Very labor-intensive process, but at least there's plenty of space under the shell for the decoder and wires. The NCE decoders I installed are acting totally weird; the motor functions are OK, but only the reverse light circuit (yellow wire) works - on forward(!?) I checked the relevant CVs (120 & 120) but found nothing abnormal, so I ended up running the yellow wire to the front. The two units are pretty much permanently MU'd to each other anyway, I can run them back-ro-back, so I really don't need the other light in either of them. [I'm too burned out with decoder installing to spend more time troubleshooting and solving this mystery.] Then today I repainted them from their 1970's era Amtrak scheme to Iron Belt colors. Right now I'm so exhausted I don't even have the energy to shoot any photos.
Tomorrow I'll be spending most of the day on the road, taking my son to his friend's sister's graduation party in Manchester. Not much mrr in the forecast for me tomorrow.
Have a great day everyone.

Good evening folks
I am just getting on the computer. We never made it to the Cub World Family Day scout event. My foot was feeling the effects of walking the parade yesterday and it me until about 1 PM before I could put much weight on it. My wife was also having feet problems. She worked Day Camp at the museum all last week and was on her feet for about nine straight hours each day. We took the kids to see The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian.
We went to the fireworks last night in Collingdale. It was raining a little. We stayed dry in the van in the Acme Markets parking lot. It was a good show lasting about 40 minutes.
I hope everybody has a good night!

Dang it!
I went outside today with the will to wash and detail our car and truck today. The sky was clear, blue, brite and sunny out when I started! I got my wifes Malibu washed and waxed first, it looked sweet . I noticed a few dark clouds forming over the gulf? First word out of my mouth is unfit to type @#$%^!
So I hurried to start and finish my 2500 Silverado Std cab Long bed, as I got further along washing the Truck the clouds started forming as fast as I washed! The Race was on.............Needless to say as soon as I finished the truck It started to pour down rain! @#$%^! I'll have to wait to next weekend to wax my truck
Moral of this story, "If you want it to rain......Wash and wax all the vehicals you own!"
BTW: one of the furry friends is for sure dead, Found him feet up in the train room! I just wonder where his brother is?

Good morning folks! Not a very productive weekend for me. I managed to go to a Twins game yesterday. I guess you can chalk that up as living a little.
I assembled a small portion of my benchwork the other day. I have half of one of six sections complete! Here I go, watch my speed!(Willy Wonka reference) I have to pace myself so I don't turn it into work. I tend to do that when I get started on a project. As long as I get the work done that requires a garage, I'll be on track. Come winter, the garage is actually used to house our cars.
I'm also assembling a war chest to purchase all of my track. I need twenty Peco turnouts and a box or two of flex track. Oh how I miss having a Hobby shop. Now I feel the need to purchase in volume! I think I'll finish the bench work first. Slow and steady wins the race!
I hope everyone has a good week.

Good morning folks
It was a foggy 74 F as I hit the highway this morning. High toady will be 85 F with a chance of heavy rain this afternoon.
We did some running around yesterday to a couple of stores and actually picked-up some Back to School supplies. We had our barbecue yesterday after the rain passed through.
No modeling. I am hoping to get some in this week.

Dentist gave me some antibiotics to fight the infections but boy it knocked me out till even now I'm still not right . looks like evry one had a nice fourth . Mine was quiet with just my kids over for a BBQ. Gotta try and cut the grass today . Well bette get going before it geets too hot. Oh yes The vet informed me that my dog has kidney and live failure and should be put down . My dog was an active healthy dog but started acting funny after I gave her a new bag of food. Will try and get the food tested to see if it is bad . See you all soon. have a nice day ! just some random photos fo the weekend . Ray my catus are blooming , four brothers hanging out. A small tribute to the fourth. Enjoy !!
