A unique experience at Tuesday Night Round Robin. We had a lady attend who is determined to learn how to operate and maintain an HO layout. Her husband recently died and she wants to pass his model train legacy on to her grandkids, rather than tearing the layout down and rid herself of it.
Bravo Zulu!
Wet here this AM but the lawn guys are mowing anyway. Not what I was taught growing up.
Go get 'em!

Passed through. Thanks for the spread, Tom. Someone else can have my grits ration. With all the time I spent in grits country, I never learned to enjoy them. Taylor's Pork Roll? Now that's a whole new ball game.
Hope it dries out here today.

Overcast in Reading country this morning and chilly. Waiting for rain later this afternoon. Clerking at a church rummage sale today so the trains are idling 'til after dinner.
Enjoy!

Up, with coffee, waiting on the arrival of a plumber. Long To-Do list for today. Waiting patiently for the caffeine to kick in and awaken my motivation.
Onward!

Stopped by.

Jim,
Hope everything comes out all right and the doc doesn't find any surprises. I'm certain you'll be glad to get this behind you.
More prep for Timonium today. Good to make it to the basement yesterday. Will try to make this a new habit.

4 days and a wakeup ... in military speak you're a "shortimer"... you're so short you can walk under a door without bending over....
Terry

He's so short, he can't reach up to mark the Days Chart.
Been there: done that!

I hope Bob's scrapple agreed with him yesterday.
Got to start concentrating on preparations for Timonium next weekend. Have several locos that need maintenance prior to next Thursday. I'll save all the rolling stock checkups for our late June presentation at Strasburg, PA
Chilly here this AM. The furnace just started.
Keep smiling: it'll make the populus wonder what you're up to.

Greetings!
Scrapple, Bob? You're the only person I've met who will admit in public to consuming scrapple! Must be something in that Pennsylvania heritage you have.
Today's saving grace is it's Ops night. Challenging layout based on Appalachian coal roads. Big crew, lots of fun.
Behave yourselves out there today!

How appropriate, Bob!
Two weeks from today we'll be hauling the Reading Company module to Timonium, MD for display. Can't think of a better way to celebrate your freedom.

Jeff,
Thanks in advance for the thread.
ITLA kits have fascinated me for quite some time, so broke down and bought one at Springfield this winter. Now all I need is the courage to try and build it. (Know that's backward.)
Thanks for you documentation.

Gang mowers are back! Surprised they're able to run through the swamps created by our recent bouts with rain. In addition, neighbors roofing crew arrived just after 7 AM, so I'm up. Coffee seems very effective this AM.
Enjoy your extra darkness today.

Just topped the gangway. Sorry for being AWOL, but I haven't found an appropriate way to make my entry from an iPad from church. Maybe the name Ridge Valley will give you an idea of our cell phone reception from the choir loft.
Basement day today unless the Woman's Final Four distracts me. Focusing on the fact that the Timonium show is less than four weeks from this weekend and there's a lot of repair, tuning up and maintenance to be done prior.
Gotta' run. Hope to great you all on the flip side tomorrow.

Morning all,
Had to fumble around to find my key this morning, but here goes.
Up early this morning as the catering truck needs to go for state inspection and I've got "stuff" to accomplish before my wife gets home from her week in New England.
Have a wonderful day, and remember, no glue sniffing.

Three-peat.
