Good Morning All. Still here where I don't want to be. I'm still feeling OK but they still don't have an idea what's up! Sadly the echo person has not shown up yet. The stress test this morning seemed to go OK, but the tech lady is not allowed to tell me, but she said that she didn't have to call the emergency room so that was good.
Apparently it rained here all day yesterday but I don't have a window so I couldn't tell. BP is still high and I have a new med to take. But pulse and all other tests are good. Hoping for a release this afternoon.
I still hate typing on this phone!
Willie,

Most of my posts are from my phone, takes twice the time and posts are half as long,

A few times a week I crack out the laptop and do my photos. Our internet comes through the Android and my wife does not like the computer set up all the time, it normally resides in the closet.

Hopefully things will be back to normal soon!

Yes, tender picks up one side and loco the other.

Pretty sure I figured out a fix, will be tuning it up this morning..

Good morning all,

57f and foggy this morning,

Did not find out until today the Army celebrated 250 year anniversary over the weekend.

My hat is off to all who served!! Many in my family are Army vets.

Reveals what a problem it can be when my main news sources are the mainstream media and my Google newsreel.

We were supposed to have had rain overnight, that did not materialize...

The train shed is on today's agenda!!!!

More later,

Dave LASM
I found a series of videos from jerseyhighlandsbruce who restored a ten-wheeler so i understand what you are looking at now. Awesome that you can get it to work. Hope you get more videos up!

Bruce is one of the good guys but has been living in Michigan the last many years. If he has done a video it will be a good one to learn from. He was the main guru and moderator at The railroad-line forums that closed up February 2025 and is missed as a forum.
 


Good Evening All. Thank you all for all of the thoughts and prayers, they worked. Sunny and still 92° at 6:30 pm. As promised, I have returned after a quick run through of the estate. Seems that the rain yesterday that wasn't in the forecast, left me 1.5" in the rain gauge and topped off the pool just right. Pool water still had the proper chemical balance and the grass/weeds are growing rampant already.

After two days of tests and stuff, my cardiologist decided that my BP medications needed adjustment. He made a few, but I will follow up with my primary care guy tomorrow, since he is an internist and has always seemed to know the BP stuff better. The echocardiogram, a fancy word for sonogram, showed no issues; the stress test showed no abnormalities, the EKG was clean; numerous blood draws and tests showed nothing amiss; so that's his prognosis. The A1C even dropped to 5.8! Glad for the results, but some of the 45 hours was wasted. My cardiologist just happens to be the on-call guy for the hospital that I chose, because I already knew it. He saw me Sunday morning after the overnight stabilization, and again today to release me. In between, I had almost all good nurses, including a couple of really pretty, well-qualified youngsters, and overall treatment was great. One nurse Saturday night/Sunday morning spoke in low tones with a thick Turkish accent and I had a lot of trouble hearing her. That was despite me explaining my hearing and asking her to repeat everything at least twice. My wife even had issues with understanding her and the admittance questions. Damn, and the food was excellent. I had filet mignon last night. That menu is probably not available to folks with little or no insurance. Lunch today was roast beef and Swiss cheese wraps on flour tortillas (yes, plural) with a delicious Mac & Cheese. All came with salad and rolls as well. There's probably 40 items on the lunch/dinner menu. I think that my wife brought it home, so I'll snap a screenshot or two for you to see.
I'll catch up some more tomorrow when I have had time to reread some of your posts. Right now I'm headed for the pool, and then a little body-rubbing later.

Just being confined there is enough to elevate your BP. Get well! Still Praying for ya!
 
You have a link to that feed? I also like to watch live rail stuff.
