I really can't afford one!
Chris: I know you can't really afford an attorney at the moment, but there are a couple of things you really need to look in to. Your first major concern and priority is Ryan...and from what you have been telling us, by staying with his mother, he's being subjected to a very abusive and hostile enviroment. Neither one of you needs this. You need to go down to the County Court House and file for an Order of Protection for you and your son. My GF has just gone thru a similar situation, and it shouldn"t cost anything but a little time on your part. And when the child is involved, they should walk you right thru it.
First of all, the wife left you..that's abandonment. Second, the FIL threatened you with severe bodily harm, and the wife is living with him. Therefore, you do not want Ryan subjected to anymore mental, or possible physical abuse. And Ryan is old enough to be able to voice his feelings to the court. When the GF went for her Order, this is what happened. First, they gave her Soul Custody of her son, as he was still a minor at the time. They also gave her the house, because that was where the Minor was Domiciled and needed to remain in his school district. The Ex had to move out. The Ex could and can not come within 1000 yds of either of them, or he's going to jail. It can also be stipulated that she CANNOT alter or change bank accounts, insurance policies, or enter into any other financial transactions until the divorce is final. You can also stipulate a NO Contact policy if you feel that it would be detrimental to Ryan's mental health. Shje got this done in about 2 hrs, and it didn't cost her a dime. If the wife or in-laws brteak any part of the order, they will be subjected to jail time.
Also, the Family Court may be able to help you find a reasonable attorney that would be willing to work with you and your financial situation. There is help out there, so just ask. But go to the County Office, and go for the Order. You've got to tell yourself.."Enough is Enough!!" The FIL drew the line in the sand...now it's time for you to step across and draw your own. If not for you,,than for Ryan. We're all here for you my friend...
I'll look into it!
I'm on Metropolol and Coversyl -- both of which do good for my BP. I'm always around 110/70 anymore. I'm going to see an ICD specialist next month for an assessment of my hear condition. I'm getting a defib put in sometime in October--
Today's agenda will feature me going to Eric's house and working on his layout--while running some trains on it--heeheehee
Have a good one---

Chris, didja get that lawyer yet???
I really can't afford one!
Thank you William for your condolences. That was a very kind thing to say and I passed it on to Carolyn.
Chris: I hate to write this, but you are sticking it up yourself by not getting legal help. You can afford a lawyer to get you started by setting up a payment plan with him. Besides, most won't charge for a first consultation and those that do won't charge much for this sort of action. Listen to all these guys: sooner than later, it will get nasty and you could easily end-up with nothing.
STILL DANGED HOT DOWN HERE!

Good morning folks
It was 72 F as I rolled out of the driveway this morning. Our high will be only 78 F. I am not sure I will know how to react to it not being in the nineties.
We spent a good portion of the weekend shopping. We had grocery shopping, Back to School, fence, and bedroom stuff. The fence shopping was for a new picket fence for around the fish pond area. My son is redoing the fence as part of his Family Life Merit Badge. Speaking of merit badges he also had his Personal Fitness progress check. One more and he is done except for a final sit down with the Merit Badge Counselor.
He and I worked on cleaning up the layout. He got things running again during the week. We are hoping to take a few more test photos this week with the Canon Rebel.
My daughter got her uniform for volleyball on Friday. She gets her first chance to wear it on Thursday as they have a scrimmage. The rest of the week is practices for her.
I hope everybody has a good day.

Good morning. It's 75 and partly cloudy. The high will be 100 with a heat index of 107. There's a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms.
I got an automated call from UPS yesterday telling me that there's a C.O.D. package coming in today. I got some more work done of the layout. Spreading the joint compound can be messy but it's fairly easy. There's more layout work on the schedule for today.

The steering column for my van came in by UPS today. My nephew says he'll be on hand to help change it out tomorrow. If he shows up I'll pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.

Well, I've had an interesting couple of days. Kinda stretched a muscle in my back that started protesting, and then my BP started doing strange things, like drop to really low levels. Didn't present a problem unless I stood too fast, then I got a little dizzy. Called the MD and she said, don't take your BP meds, drink a lot of water and caffeine, and of course, monitor the BP.
Well yesterday afternoon after doing all that stuff my BP was actually a little elevated and I decided I wanted to go to the store. Drove there, no problem, got out and locked the car, no problem, walked into the store, no problem. Next thing I know, there are about 10 paramedics, ambulance drivers, and firemen around me. The store owner said I said hello and hit the floor.
Well now I got a bruised hip, two hyper extended fingers, and a broken rib.
The DR had a fit that I was driving, (she didn't say I couldn't), my wife took my keys and it hurts to even barely breathe. Now I get to also worry about getting pneumonia from not moving enough air, coughing, BP.....
Ain't life grand???

That low blood pressure reminds me of what I used to go through when I was young. I lived with low blood pressure pretty much all through my first 20 something years then around 25-26 it went through the roof, around the 150 over 95 range. After a few months it settled down in the 140 over 85 range. Now I use meds to keep it in the 110 over 70 range.

Metoprolol is one of the blood pressure meds they have me on. The other is Fosinopril. They put me on that one shortly after I experienced a mild heart problem some years ago.

Good morning. It's 83 and sunny. The high will be 96 and it will be partly cloudy.
I got a little more joint compound spread on the layout extension and the front edge of the main part of the layout yesterday before emptying the first gallon gallon bucket of compound. Later today I'll likely get started on the second bucket. This will be used to secure the track on the rest of the layout as well as build up low spots under the track. It will also make for a less steep embankment from tie level than the built-on roadbed of the EZ-Track provides. Also today we'll see if the impossible occurs. Namely that will be if my nephew shows up to help change out the steering column in the van.

Well I'll be darned! I just seen a pig fly! My nephew showed up like he said he would and we got the column changed out. It had a couple more wires than the old one though. The van the new one came out of had cruise control and mine doesn't. So that explained the extra wires. They're just tied up out of the way for now. Except for that it was a perfect fit.

CJ- Easy bud! Thank your lucky stars that happened in the store where people were around and not a few minutes before when you were cruising down the road, we might have had a coffee shop funeral 
Jeff- Good to know one obstacle is out of the way!
I guess were going to dinner tonight, i havent heard anything else about great grandma, one thing parents, keep your kids in the loop!
Are there any stores like lowes or home depot that sell styrene sheets? Generally speaking, whats the best thickness, i just need to shim something but i have a bunch of other uses for it as well.

Dang Carey, that's scary and a good thing it didn't happen while driving! GOOD move on Pam's part; that's the only way to keep you locked down.
Karl: I have my bags packed, just clear out a corner in that basement. I was going to have CJ fly me up there in his Gulfstream, but we would probably end up in the woods, north of Barry's place. Guess I will stick out a thumb along the NS mainline.
