Morning, all.  Been occupied for a while.

Resting up today for two ops sessions tomorrow....45 miles apart.

Getting shot #2 in about an hour.  Wonder what my reaction will be, or if I'll have any?

Been AWOL for a stretch.  Bet you never missed me.

Chilly in Philly today following front that moved through midday and dropped temps 20 degrees.

All be well.

Checking in from SE PA.  Catching up with BandO Guy later today.  Lawn getting to the point the lawn mower will need to be utilized soon.  Still better than snow and ice.

Late crowd this AM I guess.

Nice day in store for SE PA.  Phils pulled one out last night after the Mets removed DeGrom.  Somehow, even with only 11,000 tickets available, Met fans were there, annoying as ever.

Catch up day at the house after puppy sitting, Easter weekend, and a day taking the missus to Phila for doctor visit.

All stay safe.

Heading out shortly for shot #1.

Chilly, breezy today.  Still in the mid-30's last I looked. Didn't bother the pup though.  We'll keep him with us until Sunday now while the someday daughter-in-law recovers from ankle surgery.

That's all that's planned.  Keeping he dog busy keeps me busy.

Here it is!  Opening Day of baseball season.

And there's snow (no accumulation) in the forecast later today.

Up early (for me anymore) to get the puppy out and about.  He went back to sleep.  I really kept him moving yesterday and wore him out. He even decided to splash through the water that rose through the pool cover.  Apparently not too cold.

More of same for a couple days.

Everyone else can focus on other chores and diversions.  Be safe doing it.

Puppy sitting today while the missus goes to doctors. 

Finished dismantling our late friend's layout yesterday.  That's all I'll say on that. Took care of the 270 or so bricks as well.  Nice to have them gone.

Otherwise, marking time with the pup.  One long walk already in the books.

Happy Tuesday.  Next to last day of March.  Baseball season starts very soon.

Have to move 1300+ lbs of bricks today.  Been trying to unload (give away) them since last summer.  Finally got a taker.  Somehow, previous property owner had accumulated them for some reason and left them along with a few dozen cinder blocks (which were given away over the years).

John:  Condolences for losing your mother.  An especially hard one for everyone when that time comes/came.

My mom is still with us, but unable to get visitors as her assisted living in Fla is locked down (wisely).  Not being able to travel and visit her is a tough one. 

Another breezy, chilly one here in SE PA.  No rain though.

All have a wonderful day.

Hi everyone.

Heading to my late friend's house shortly to hopefully finish dismantling his layout. Bringing a turntable back for BandO Guy (Chip) to peruse later. Sold off the lot of Atlas code 83 track/switches for his widow.

Have a good day, all.

Sleepy-head checking in on this cloudy, soon to be windy Friday.

Email this morning advising my "shot" is next Friday. At last.

Made a lightning trip yesterday over to where Jersey Jerry lives (Toms River) to pick up some discontinued tiling for son #2.  Left at 7:10, back home at 11:20. Nice drive, but lots of tolls.

Now to figure out what I have to do today.

All be safe.

That gator looks like he got rolled by the (crimson) tide.

I've been selling Jim Miller's stuff on Ebay and that requires some time.



I can attest to that.  Dismantling and trying to sell off a friend's layout who passed away unexpectedly.  Spent the afternoon organizing sections of flex track and switches.  Hope to sell a bunch this week.

Looking at the costs involved just for supplies, quite an expensive operation.  And labor costs weren't mentioned.  No wonder dining cars were early casualties as trains and crews were cut back in the 50's.  Read many times that dining car service was a loss leader/PR service.  But the limited menu is very appealing, especially the leg of lamb. Nice article, your honor.
