    Forum still hesitated a few seconds when I signed in this morning, but it is much better than last night. Was preparing for a Sunday school lesson this morning where Joshua led the Israelites out of the desert. As they crossed the Jordan river,, the water stopped and they crossed on dry land. I...

Daughter and father are scratch building a highway overpass over the railway line for one end of the layout. We will only have part of the layout with scenery for the holiday show.

    I guess the knee I twisted about 3 weeks ago is going to heal at its own sweet time. I cut the grass this morning after 5 weeks of procrastination. The humidity is under 50% for a change and I mowed at 76 F this morning so I was comfortable. It took about a hour on the riding mower but the knee...

    Things are not quite so bad. My team won with 9 seconds to go, 17 to 16. The air conditioner just cycled off with the temp back down where the thermostat is set. And the whiskey did not melt all the ice in my glass.

    So far, this has not been the best of Saturdays. Attendance at the club was sparse today with most activity being wiring and structure assembly. No pictures today. About !! AM, my wife called and said the home A/C was not working. Call the HVAC guy! Had to dive 50 miles and take my brother to...

    Counting carbs was as effective as counting sheep. I nodded off about 6 AM and awoke at 8. I found the temp to be 81 F and the humidity was terrible when I opened the garage door. The dew was heavy on the grass so I made the decision to procrastinate on mowing today. and for the rest of the...

    Here I am, wide awake at 4 AM and counting the carbs in Bill's breakfast. I suppose counting cabs is like counting sheep, hoping for sleep. Since I don't have sheep, I will have to go cut the lawn if not above 80 F at 8 AM. Hope my knee will stand up to an hour on the lawn tractor.

    Running Bear's August 2026 Coffee Shop

    Well, it is official that August has been hot in Alabama. This is the 12th hottest August in Birmingham since 1895. We have had 90 degrees or more for 30 of the 31 days and 88 of the one day we got 2.5 inches of rain. I realize we are not the hottest place in the country, but that doesn't mean...

    The flat, barren plain of blue foam where cork and track were being laid has disappeared into a chaotic bedlam of structures, rolling stock, building materials, vehicles and plain junk. We are trying to plan what needs to be finished for our holiday display this year. One item is the Instatrax...

    Well, I have decided that I will not make it to the club room today. Short version, I fell at church Wednesday night, got up, and drove home. Found I had scraped my left shin and the right knee was starting to hurt. Started to bed later. walking carefully and twisted back to shut the door and...
