Good Morning!

Welb--I's be rather busy of late--3 reports due in on Thursday and I have a whole pile of things to do before our house gets decorated for Xmas!!:eek::eek:

Audrey done signed up our house for a Xmas lights/house tour!!:eek::rolleyes:

Better get cracking here!!;):D
 


Good morning. It's 72 and cloudy. The high will be 87 and it will be mostly cloudy. There's a 30% chance of rain.

From what I could see the cable crews worked long into the night trying to resolve the latest bout of cable problems plaguing the area lately. For now it seems to be working. We'll see what the story is this afternoon as by then any problem has made itself known. The fun part of it is that when they fix one problem the next weak link in the system goes down and it may be down the line or somewhere back up the line where they've already been. Welcome to the digital age where everything has to be 100% or nothing works.

Good morning folks

It was 55 F as I headed out his morning. High today will be 73 F with a chance of thunderstorms.

It was not easy getting to the office this morning. There was an accident on I-476 (the Blue Route) that had things backed-up. I had to do some bushwhacking to get in. I was only about 15 minutes late. Some other folks were close to an hour late.

Last weekend of Scout Popcorn sales is always busy. We had three Show and Sale locations running this weekend. Now we just have to get the last bunch of personal orders together.

It was a scout weekend. My son had his Road Clean-up for Boy Scouts. My daughter had her Venturers meeting where she was elected Administrative Vice-president. She is in charge of recruiting. My wife had Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts classes at the Museum.

Not much else happening. No trains.

Boy scouts tonight. My son is getting pumped. Tomorrow is the big football game against Beverly Hills Middle School which is the other middle school in our school district.

I hope everybody has a good day.
 
Rex- I will agree with you that AUBURN doesn't deserve to be ranked #1 in the BCS poll. I think a top 5 spot, but not #1, yet.
The Tide and Tiger fans are getting a little loud and long-winded around my office this morning. I guess it just increases the intensity of the anticipation for the Iron Bowl. Alabama is a college football crazy state!

I managed to pick up a HO 18-wheeler and Trailways bus over the weekend from a guy thinning his collection of vehicles. Now, I just have to find a few more bucks to get a couple of his '36 Fodor cars.

We started our HO layout move from McWane's basement to the Holiday display area last Saturday. Tonight, I get to check out the damage to the old N-scale layout and make repairs. We will be open to the public from Nov. 6th thru Jan. 2nd this Season.

Y'all have a great day!

Good morning. It's 73 and cloudy. The high will be 88 and there's a chance of rain starting at 20% this morning and reaching a max of 50% by 2 pm.

Didn't get much sleep last night. Neighbors dogs kept barking all night and the power went out 3 or 4 times and was out for a total of several hours. Pain in my back and knees didn't help much. Usually the sound of the fans in here drown out any dog barking. The fans don't disturb me as I'm used to their noise. But when the power went out the dogs woke me up in a hurry and after about an hour I was about ready to go hunting for the buggers and shut them up permanently. The neighbor got smart and called them in. Have to go into town this morning and get some gas or the van will be running on fumes before Saturday. I only have $20 but that will get me a little better than a 1/4 tank. That'll be enough to last till the 1st when my Social Security money comes in. As the as the recently vacated property goes, my niece wishes to purchase it but she is disagreeing with the price my parents want for it. She believes she should get it for half of what they want. I keep telling her to get a survey crew to come out and see much property there is and if it will give her enough to build a house on. By law she needs an acre. I've cautioned her on rushing in and buying it as she could get stuck with less than what she needs, but she's never been known for her patience. The battle lines have been drawn and I seem to be caught in the middle somehow. We'll see who gives in first.

Good afternoon folks.

Holy cow is it windy and crappy here today. I saw snow flakes on my way in to work!:eek: There has been a steady misting rain all day with gusts up to forty miles an hour. The good news is it's been good for business!:)

I had a half day off yesterday so I didn't get much modeling done. I glued some detail pieces to my passenger and freight depots. Then I started adding a few generic signs here and there. Every time I see someone else's layout that looks more realistic than mine I wonder why that is. Their track may be just sitting there with no ballast and their trees are right out of a toy train set. Then I realize it's because there is no life to my layout yet. There are no signs, people, cars or any other signs of the real world. Just building after building with some ground foam and trees. Well, I decided that it's time to start adding some of those missing details. I'm not going to add them all at once, just a few here and there while things dry. That should move me in the direction of a believable little world.:)

I think I'll go watch people try to walk through this wind and rain!
 
Corey, shame on you for laughing at folks braving the weather!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Trust me, I'd do the same. :D We've had it rough here,,,,,,it's been lightly raining and 70 degrees!:rolleyes:

Worst thing I've had to endure is those pictures of Chris that have been popping up! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!:p

Not much going on here, other than the fact that my 14 year old son and his mother can't get along, so now he's living with us!! ;)
Could be worse, my ex-might have wanted me back!!!:eek::eek::eek:
 
Karl my brother had the same problem with one his son's in the teen years. Dad had the same basic rules as mom but they got along great. Sometimes a change of scenery is all that is needed. My nephew was very much like his mother and me thinks that was the main reason for the discord between them but what do I know I am just his old fuddy duddy uncle. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Yeah fun! We had an unannouced visit from Social Services today. It seems my ex had my youngest son tied to a chair one day last week, and hit him with a frying pan. Even though she had a bum leg herself from an earlier altercation, supposedly she tried to kick the boy , missed and boogered up he ankle. She is now being investigated now for abuse along with my 21 year old son. Saturday night I am traveling to my 19 year olds College for a parents affair with his fraternity. I'm going to pump him for what information I can. When he's not a college He stays at his Mom's, so he may be of some use. Next week I'm sitting down with my favorite pirannah in a $500.00 suit to see what I can legally do to keep the young one out of there, permanantly!:mad:

Oh, one other thing. I quit smoking this week, after 30 years of a pack a day:eek:

I feel like Lloyd Bridges in the classic movie "Airplane". :eek:
"I guess I picked the wrong week to stop smoking!":cool:
