One thing, if you knock it off your workbench onto the floor, you won't have to crawl around with a flashlight looking for where it went.

Good evening all,

Been awhile from the last time I posted,

Storms here in Ohio(central Ohio)were straight line winds but still did a ton of damage just to the south of here. I was at work when the storm hit and moved on through pretty fast. No damage at home or at work.

Hopefully when the busy season passes at work I can do some modeling and pick up on some projects that are waiting to be completed.

Also need to get truck checked out as service engine light came on I think it may be just an O2 sensor as it drives fine may check oil level before taking it to a garage.

Hope all on the board made it safely thru the storms.

Oliver is almost halfway through the coach now. I've programmed in a yellow lock box that contains an orange key. Oliver has no idea what's in the box and he doesn't have a yellow key. See he's going to have to keep his eyes peeled for it. When or if he finds it he'll have to come back and unlock the box as he can't take the box with him. So far there are two very dangerous elements in the coach. A goon with a knife and an evil woman with a big bad 44 magnum. What these two do depends on what Oliver has with him (or doesn't have). Either the goon will kill him or he'll defeat the goon. The woman with the gun will either kill him or her gun will jam and she'll have to beat a hasty retreat. I never said this was going to be easy.

Now I'm calling it a night a little early tonight. See y'all tomorrow.

Hello Blue
10pm temp. is 35
We got through the storms safe and sound, but the high winds got us.
Power was out for about 16 hours. The news tonight reporting 150,000 still out.
I can tell you one thing a Michigan house without heat in November is not a fun thing.
Oh and I had to take my wife out to eat. Electric stove.

Morning. Big change in temps this AM. 70's yesterday and 50's today. Colder tomorrow but 60's to 70 by weekend. Friend Fred went deer hunting at farm yesterday. Did not see a single deer. Hit one not far from farm and demolished the front end of his Ranger pickup. Got it pulled out enough to drive home. Mayor stuff today and tonight.

Thought Kev would drop by and tell us he is OK from storms.

Later.

Good Morning Blue
We have sun and 33 degrees.
Train news this morning: my favorite train store received 57 packages from Lionel yesterday. A lot of it was Christmas items.
No news here on the home front except a hot shower, small valium to calm me down and a warm bed gave me a good nights sleep.

Good morning. It's 54° with 53% humidity. The high will be 68°.


Today I'll see if I can get Oliver a bit farther along in the Kings Port and Western passenger coach he's making his way through. There are still things to find and bad guys to overcome and he still has to get to the lead loco to stop the train.

No other plans for today.

Good afternoon all. Nice day here today, staying in the 70' for the next few days, and they're keeping rain and lower temps in the forecast starting this Friday.

We know winter is here, our streets are jammed with traffic, parking lots are full and the lines at the stores are backed up. Just about all our winter visitors (they usually stay a few weeks), and snowbirds (they stay until the snow thaws back home), have arrived. One other thing that just made my jaw drop is an email I just got from the City. Tickets for Spring Training are going on sale in a few weeks. Man, we just finished the World Series and now this. Where has the year gone?

Greetings, gang.

Cloudy and windy this morning in the remote reaches of northern Iowa. Right now it's 43 headed for a high of around 50. Winds are gusting up to 30 mph and will continue throughout the day.

Not much activity lately. I may go out and round up another herd of leaves. Also planning a trip to the gym. Tomorrow we head over to our son's mother-in-law to help with some routine chores - vacuum, dust, etc.

All stay safe.

Tom

Morning. Thanks to Fiat, real cold. Warming thru Sat and then dives again. Mayor's stuff today and tonight. Hope to get walk in before the routine starts. Have a good one.

Good morning. It's 46° with 67% humidity. The high will be 68° and feel like 71° with some clouds.


Maybe today I can get Oliver through the rest of the coach and into the next Kings Port and Western coach with further incident or maybe I'll throw another surprise or two at him first.

Nothing else going on here today that I know of. Seems like it's too quiet.

Good morning all, a bit chilly here right now. It's just about 8 AM and we're still just below 60. Our high for today is in the mid-70's. which is just about normal. The forecast calls for rain starting tomorrow, with an 80% chance on Friday. I started to clean out a storage shed a few days ago, I think it's time I got all that stuff back inside today.

As for rain we have a similar forecast here. 40% tomorrow and tomorrow night, 60% Friday, 50% Friday night, 40% Saturday.

Good Morning Blue
We have 35 degrees and some sun.
No train news this morning so I am just checking in.
