Good Morning All!

50F @ 76% and slightly cloudy. Should get to 72F later.

The pressure switch and gauge took a little longer than I had thought it would - wire needed replaced from the pump controller as it was not quite long enough to trim the ends for better connections. Oh well. Anyway, why did the thing work with the switch pipe plugged as shown?

Geesh, all of this started with a leaking toilet. Water is/was more or less poring out of the top of the input pipe ( with float ) when flushed. Just happened to see the water pressure go to zero for a few seconds while playing with it; hence the pressure switch fix. So that toilet now has a brand new kit for a rebuild which is getting done today. I mean everything is getting replaced in the tank, and interface with the bowl. And y'all think that you learned from MR'ing! Wait, probably MR'ing got me learning all the basic stuff for the house hobby.

Maybe get back to flattening the spot we are gonna move the RV to. It is in the way for the garage ground work. Never ending battle it seems.

Willie: Glad you are well and with good spirits. Even with the 2nd storm hitting you have a great attitude. I don't like roofs either - well it probably is the ladder part. Keep up the good work.

CHET - Love the layout photos - I still am at a loss as to why you "ditched' most of it.
DANG WILLIE! Getting hit twice in the same storm should be criminal!
PATRICK : Congrats on your anniversary!

Short and sweet -- I passed the Creatinine test (praise be) and have Chemo at 1 PM today.

Is this the Inland NW Rail Museum in/near Reardan? I went by a few years ago and saw signage and a few old box cars. I have not been back there ... yet but in the plans. Looks like they have been busy. Remember those passenger cars you found in Parkwater/Yardley? Those and a lot of the stuff there went to Reardan as bnsf wanted the room. Think the 'City of Spokane' is still at Yardley as bnsf runs it once in awhile.

Link if anybody is interested: NW Rail Museum and the 2024 hours are 10 to 5 Thurs - Sun

I didn't know the town name because it seems to be in the middle of nowhere.

The 'They' people say it's going to be a scorcher today. - I don't think so, with all the cloud in the sky.

TomO - I've been watching those Oilers playoffs, as well. Sometimes, I think it's just a big fix for entertainment. Win one, lose one; keep the show on the road. - Game 2 the Oilers were brilliant, and game 3 they look like children playing on the street.

Went on another greenhouse visiting roadtrip yesterday. I've made a deal with the wife, that if we go for greenhouses, then she be patient while I do trains along the way, as well.
Photo captured this container train twice along the way; once in Edson, and once in MacCay:

BillT - If I ever found an HO model of that GM Aerotrain, I would buy it. I'm a sucker for that 1950's streamlined Dieselpunk look.

Kriegslok - You post excellent photos. Well done, indeed.

Patrick - Happy Anniversary!

The dog knows what time it is, and is bothering me to start walking. Have a wonderful day!

Appears the cars are from two different sets. Different numbers on the wheels and bottom of the roofs. Missing wheels, pieces that holds wheels, and couplers. Bodies have stains and wear.

No it's Taxable Chadbag. I was once part of a horse betting party that yielded a net profit of over $600.00 but yielded only a $1.25 profit per member for a 11 winning bets and they sent me a separate W2_G from for each wager. I forget what the tax amount on the $1.25 was but it cost them $,50 to mail each of the 11 tax forms out. So I know when I close the account, I'll be paying tax on the $5.37.

Hello again. I'm stuck at the house right now waiting for calls on the land line and can't go to the phone store. Maybe someone here can ID this problem and offer a simple at-home fix.

That's all that I can get on the screen. I am getting some of the usual noises in my hearing aids when I am obviously getting messages.
It's a Samsung Galaxy-9 if that makes any difference.

I would like to see the greatness of McDavid honored by his name being engraved on the Stanley Cup. But there are mixed loyalities. The son played from Mite youth hockey to Junior year in High School against Joe Pavelski of the Stars. He and the son are still friends. It’s getting to be one of his last go arounds and he seems to have an overall more talented team.

I not a believer in too many conspiracies but sometimes you need to wonder

Link does not work on a PC - no valid domain name. Is this what you linked?

This is about 2 Miles East of Reardan just North of US2. Looks like the small gauge loop is operational. Pix was taken at about 100' per inch so they have ~1200' of ride space. I do not remember where the TT came from but do remember people at River City Modeler's talking about it a few years back and the problems getting it out of the pit.

Guess that I need to go and visit the place again. We are going to Spo on the 15 of July ( I think ), so maybe.
