I thought it strange.
Luckily my daughter’s teeth have stayed straight. We had her checked a few times and they kept saying no action needed. We probably should check again but a non-professional look by me sees everything still straight. And she’s 17 1/2 now so past the prime teeth moving age I think.
She had 2 stubborn baby teeth that wouldn't come out on there own, so the dentist pulled them this spring, but
then we had to wait for everything to heal, then it was several more weeks to get an appointment.
You know how all that goes!
Probably not its main intended purpose, but...
Thank you for keeping us safe.
Those wisdom teeth are expensive to remove if necessary. My daughter needed two surgeries to remove them.

Everybody’s workin’ towards the weekend…
Got a four day weekend coming up. Yesterday, picked up my second case of code 83 flextrack. The shop had a case of cork too, so naturally I grabbed that while I was there. I’m using all new Walthers switches on the mainline and reuse what I can for the yard. Unfortunately I bought all the #6 switches and I don’t know when they’ll get restocked. Might have to go on a road trip to another train shop that over 100 miles away. But it’s worth it. Stay tuned…

Good morning all!
Happy Friday!
Currently a very cloudy Northern Illinois morning. Currently 71F heading up to 87F. Had a couple big thunderstorms come
through the area late last night into early this morning. Had 1.3" in the rain gauge as of this morning. This is maybe the single
biggest rain event in the last couple of months. If you listen to the forecasters we can expect more tonight into tomorrow. Lets
hope, we are well below where we should be.
Going to be a busy day today. Have the usual Friday morning household chores. My daughter has her first Orthodontist
consultation this afternoon. Be interesting to see what the insurance pays and what our cost will be. I'm sure its still going
to be a chunk.
Did manage a tiny bit of layout work last night as well.
Have a safe day everyone!

Good morning from a sleepy head in Wisconsin. Man for me it was a tough night. But my diet Dr Pepper should kick in soon but already feel like I should have another. Normally 1 bottle of 16.9oz is my self imposed limit for the day but special circumstances call for different measures.
69f degrees now maybe 80 later but the rains should be starting soon per radar and the severe storms around 2 hours later at 10am. The forecast and radar says those storms sometimes severe will continue through the evening. I wanted to work on a segment of the layout, well today is that day unless the kids decide today is the day to assemble the slot track at the new house. They worked well together as I basically stayed out of the way. Less than 3 hours and it was apart, put on the pickup and unloaded onto the floor in the space it is going to.
I mentioned yesterday the grandson and his 2 friends have an addition to their trio. She’s 11 turning 12 in November. She’s a goalie on a different team than the grandson or the 2 buddies but in the same Summer League. She lives with her grandparents who have the property across the County Road from the grandson’s new place. In a game a few weeks ago the grandson’s 1st shot is always high. He was playing her. Seems she took exception to the shot thinking it was aimed for her head and she went after him pinning him to the boards before the referees got there. She told him next time he fires a shot at her head she will shove her stick so far up his a.. they will never find it! I heard the story that night at dinner but didn’t meet her until yesterday. Turns out all 4 ride their bikes to Park and Rec every afternoon and the 4 really connected there. She seems nice but typical she is ruling the roost, even at 11. All will be in Middle School together, this should be fun to watch if she stays around.
Enjoy the day

96°F for a high today with HI in the low 100s. No grass cutting today or tomorrow. Maybe Sunday.
No plans for today. I might start a kit I've had sitting around for 6 months. I haven't started it yet because I don't know where I'll locate it when finished. It was supposed to be co-located with the new(er) Schwarzburg Bahnhof, but I decided on a platform extension and trees at that location instead. I really have no place for this but it's an interesting structure.

Good Morning All. Mostly clear and a warmish 75°; looking for 95° again today before a cooling pattern hits us this weekend. Might bring thunderstorms with it.
Yesterday's grocery trek went off without any issues, wife wanted Jersey Mike's so we stopped there to get a couple of subs to go. Pharmacy stop didn't go as well, as they had not gotten a response from one doctor regarding refills. A more important one was ready though. I had called them in on their automated system on Tuesday, so there was plenty of time. After we got home, I looked at the old bottles and realized that the prescribing doctor was not my regular cardiologist, but was the hospital resident from my recent stay there. I had to call my guy's office to ascertain that he still wanted me to take those medications and send the pharmacy a new prescription. I'll check this morning to make sure that things went as planned before making a trip to town. The rest of the day was spent catching up on household tasks that I was behind on due to the back to back medical days earlier in the week.
Today I hope to catch up on outdoor tasks that I seem to be behind on as well. Need to deal with some kind of algae in the pool that chlorine doesn't seem to control well. Fortunately the algaecide that I need was an item on sale on Amazon Prime Days this week, and it will be here today. About half the cost as the local pool supply store. Pool has unfortunately warmed up since I had to lower the shade umbrellas due to higher than average winds right now, lasting for another day.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I cleaned the first three structures that I removed from the layout Wednesday. Nothing critical to repair and I didn't add any details to any of them. All three were already pretty detailed to begin with. I did reattach a protruding sign that I dislodged during cleaning on the bank.
For Dave who asked and others who might be interested, here are a few shots of the maintenance train as it travels the main through Charlottesville, with a unit Ethanol train in the background. It took more shots than I thought.
We start with the motive power, which today is an older SD45, followed by an equipment boxcar, a gondola with discarded stuff and then a flatcar with some random pieces of rail.
Following the flatcar is the sleeper/dining car and a boxcar labeled as "tool car".
Another flatcar with ties and stuff and a diesel fuel tanker.
Then I have the 250 ton crane and the crane tender caboose.
I know that it's not the most prototypical, as that crane would probably be a "burro crane" in a track maintenance train. All of these cars are Athearn blue box, except the tanker which came from Roundhouse and the second flatcar which is a Walther's model. Engine is a Scaletrains model.
Mike - I don''t use that hand-held shower head either, but all hell breaks loose when it's broken. Just once and it was actually because she turned the head partially.
Louis - I cannot believe that I was remiss in not mentioning Rainbow as one of Ronnie James Dio's bands during his career. He and Ritchie made a great pair.
Tom O - Directed at you only because you made the original post: I only put the seat down in the master bathroom, I leave it up in the main one. Of course, living in the country, I usually use trees!
Today is 7-11, free Slurpees nationwide if that appeals to you. Everyone have a fabulous Friday.

Good luck. My son had to get braces and it was a good chunk o cash. Even with the “insurance”. (Most dental plans are just discount plans and have a very low payout limit).
Luckily my daughter’s teeth have stayed straight. We had her checked a few times and they kept saying no action needed. We probably should check again but a non-professional look by me sees everything still straight. And she’s 17 1/2 now so past the prime teeth moving age I think.

Regarding hand held shower heads. You guys really don’t use them? They’re great for rinsing armpits, groin area, b*tt cracks, and for the dudes with a gut, under the “abdominal fold”. I only switch to it to rinse.
Our new Kohler shower has a really nice one.
But I’ve been a convert since the 80s when I learned about them in Germany.

I wish we could of started this process last year. Most of her class already had braces put on last year.
She had 2 stubborn baby teeth that wouldn't come out on there own, so the dentist pulled them this spring, but
then we had to wait for everything to heal, then it was several more weeks to get an appointment.

I shouldn't say I never use it, I do use it do cleaning the tub/shower all the time.

82 here right now and HUMID, yikes. Heading for 96 here with my Nephew and his daughter heading in today and she will be staying here with us prior to the rest of the family getting relocated here. She's a great kid, 17 years old and is already signed up for the volleyball team, so she is getting here for the practice.She's been my buddy since she was old enough to walk and she absolutely loves my wife.

72 and filtered sun.
I already ran my trains this morning, having my coffee break then doing body work on the 88 suburban until I loose my shade.
Easy day,

That is why you are the moderator and I'm just a visitor. Like the crazy uncle that stops by too often and doesn't know when to leave.
Thank you for keeping us safe.
No worries, you said, "and others" Don't be so hard on yourself. Even Babe Ruth struck out sometimes. (nowhere near as much as Ohtani does!) Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. I enjoy it and I'm sure others do as well.
Once the wisdom teeth come in you have nothing to worry about. They usually come in between the ages of 18-25. If they have enough room, great, if not they will push the other teeth to make room.
Those wisdom teeth are expensive to remove if necessary. My daughter needed two surgeries to remove them.

Good morning, all! A hot start to the day, with a low chance of rain. Mowing is on the docket for today. Our tour of the grocery store yesterday went well and expensive.
Some more photos added to my thread.
