Nothing new to report for a change.
Recovering from THE worst case of flu I can remember.
Doc Zephyrus: check your messages here or email me at readingchip@yahoo.com. I have a piece of Denver Zephyr memorabilia you might be interested in, FREE!
Later, folks.

If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, what is an empty desktop indicative of?

Quote from: Lashno3 on August 31, 2024, 11:16:50 AMGood morning all, and happy Labor Day weekend for my US friends.

I've got to take some time today to clean up and reorganize my work area. How does it get so messy when it's just me? Ha, no one else to blame...
After much scientific study related to "what happens", I've assigned the blame to gremlins. They then sneak up to our bedroom and put their bloody fingers all over my glasses which were clean when I put them on the nightstand.

Quote from: Jim Donovan on August 28, 2024, 08:38:18 AMGood Morning Everyone;

We have a new member, Ed, who joined yesterday, so hi Ed glad to have you join the group! Today I plan on continuing my testing on how best to get the lift bridge I am making rise and lower in the manner the original actually operated. I think I can make it happen but we will see.  I will post a picture if successful.

Other then that nothing on the schedule. Hope everyone has a great day.

Jim
For inspiration, check YouTube for films of the Bourne Railroad Bridge. Used to take the kids there for amusement while staying on the Cape.

Quote from: ACL1504 on August 22, 2024, 10:39:49 AMMorning again,

NO surgery this morning due to no communication from the Cardiologist and Surgeon. The fax # was wrong and no one reached out to me to let me know. The surgery was scheduled, we showed up as scheduled but the surgery center had no record.

I am more than pissed at the doctors staff and surgery schedulers.

Greetings,all.
Nothing to report from Reading country this AM. Great to see a crowd here today.
Good luck with the repairs today Tom. Remember to take it easy post-op.

Passing by for clean socks and underwear. Home from Columbus, OH last night to ready ourselves for a memorial service in Raleigh, NC Saturday. I foolishly thought "retirement" was when you sat around and did nothing. There is a lot of sitting involved with all of this, but in a car?
Have a successful day, all.

Road Warrior checking in from Columbus, Ohio.
Brought a load of "stuff" to our son's new digs Friday. Weather is incredibly cool here this AM. Monday, we leave to drive home and gas the car for our Friday drive to Raleigh, NC. Obviously, not much train time: that will come the end of next week.
Keep the throttle wide open and the whistle blowing!

Good afternoon!
My how time flies when you're having fun!!

Looks as if a bunch of folks are sleeping in this AM.
Haven't figured out the days accomplishments yet, so I guess that's the next task.
Hope the storm leaves all our Floridian folks okay.

Quote from: MartyO on August 02, 2024, 08:51:13 AMGood morning,

Jim, Trees! Pretty darn good looking.

I've had those "whooshing" sounds in my ears lately, maybe I should get it seen to?


Marty,
I have that same problem when the wind is blowing: in one ear and out the other with nothing in between.

Great ops session last night! The point was driven home though that bifocals and N scale DO NOT play well together. Strange thing is, the layout owner also wears bifocals.
Don't know yet what's up today. I do know I have a long list I can choose from.
Keep the throttle well open today.

Calendar says it's Tuesday, so it must be Round Robin night. A railroad distraction from the mundane and news.
I'm puzzled by, among other things, how do you take a vacation when you're retired? And why does it take so long to recover from a weeks rest? And why didn't all the things on my To Do or Honey Do list not get accomplished while I wasn't paying attention to them?
Need more coffee to figure all of this out.

Good luck with the surgery tomorrow Mr. and Mrs. Jim.
Back from taking a car in for inspection. Hope the fact we caught every red light and a train crossing on the way to the dealership is not indicative of what the day is to be like. Will stop and see the vampire on the way to get the car back this afternoon.
Can't take too much excitement today after vacationing last week.
Whatever you do today, do it with passion!

Checking in late. Parasailing off South Jersey cxld due to fog so we'll try again Friday. We did get a monsoon last night as a bonus.
