Rain today and tomorrow, at least the weekend is looking nice

[FiatFan]

Greetings, gang.

30 under clear skies this morning in the remote reaches of northern Iowa. Low to mid 50s for today and warmer into next week with no rain in sight.

Quiet day yesterday. On Thursday when I was out and about I purchased a small item that, when I go home, I could not find anywhere. Finally gave up yesterday and went back to the store for another one. After I got home I was walking through the dining room and happened to see the first one in a sack that I had overlooked. Not that big of a deal as I will use both items eventually. Otherwise the only activity yesterday was to make sure the batteries are charged on the string trimmer and the leaf blower. I'll need them later today or tomorrow at the cemetery. Other activities for today are laundry and leaf herding.

Gas was down to $3.84 yesterday when I was out and about.

All stay safe.

Greetings, gang.

A little warmer this morning at 38 degrees. High for today around 60 and upper 60s tomorrow. Then a slow decline for the remainder of the week.

Got the laundry done and rounded up two large yard bags of leaves. Ran out of steam so I'll dispose of those on Monday. Only item on today's agenda is a trip to the cemetery although I may also mow the yard.

All stay safe.

Good morning Big Blue.

     I have been thinking about our friends that no longer are with us and the many folks that just quit posting for some personal reason. I thought a good way to remember the fallen is to remember them here.  I realize a lot of the suddenly silent members may be to passing away.  

     If you are a member, say hello, just to let us know you are OK.  If you are not a member, join, it is free, and if you are not a spammer your membership will be for life. If you know the well being of a member that hasn't posted, let us know, ad pass along the message that we care. 

     We have a beautiful day here in southeast Ohio with full sun and warming temperatures. I intend to put the snow plow on the lawn tractor. The snow blower has been tested and is ready to go, and the back up generator has been tested.  I am hoping being prepared will eliminate the need. The 48 inch plow will handle 6 inches of snow if I keep up with it but above that I run out of room so the snow blower will throw the snow out farther.

     I got a decent buy on a pair of Stewart AS616 in C&O livery so I may install decoders and the small parts tonight.

     Enjoy your day

We went to a railway show today. There were a number (small) of people selling their own products (computer printed, I think). Another table with photos taken by a young boy.
I bought a book by Lucius Beebe for $1, and found that I had another copy at home!
I think the show has contracted a bit -- we went into the next room which is usually full of layouts and it was all Pokemon.

Jids under 12 free (if they bring an adult).
I remember in first year university a gang from the residence went there for roller skating. On of the girls came back terribly affronted. Ticket seller had asked how old she was; the break in ticket prices was age 12.

Greetings, gang.

36 under clear skies outside my window this morning. High for today near 60 with only light winds. Then the temperature deteriorates to the low 20s by Friday morning. Brrr!

Yesterday was productive. I got rid of the yard waste and then stopped at Walmart and the grocery store. Then decided to fill the gas tank before prices went down further. good choice as gas dropped another 3 cents later in the day. After restocking the cupboards I rounded up another batch of leaves. After lunch I mowed a friend's yard and then filled the SuperCruiser for the winter.

Today I'll mow my yard and put the storm window in the front screen door. Also need to talk to the neighbor about storing the SuperCruiser in his garage for the winter. Other plans include possibly the last pollution solution vehicle ride of the season. Maybe tomorrow I'll get my semiannual season shed switch accomplished. Put the summer toys away and get out the winter toys.

Gas was down to $3.79 late yesterday afternoon.

All stay safe.

Hello Blue. Sun this morning, 60s for the day. Looks like a wet one tomorrow. We did our grocery shopping on Friday, that should be good for about ten days. Gas is flirting just under four dollars. No special plans for this day so I'll just wing it. I know I don't add much to this forum but I'm trying to help keep it going.

Jim,
that sounds terrible.

thinking of you, hoping things get better for you.

Greetings, gang.

41 at the moment going to maybe the mid 50s later and a little breezy with winds near 25 mph.

Yesterday was another productive day. Cleaned up another small batch of leaves before mowing the yard for the last time this year. With a hard freeze predicted for the end of the week (21 0n Saturday morning) the growing season will be over. Also got the window in the front storm door and took a 17 mile bike ride. While I was working in the yard the neighbor came out so I was able to get his permission to store the SuperCru8iser for the winter. All missions accomplished yesterday. Only item on the agenda for today is to put the summer toys away and get out the winter toys. I'll also need to change the oil on the snow blower and test fire it to make sure all is working.

All stay safe,

Tom

Good day

    We have sun and 60 degrees F in southeast Ohio. 

     I talked briefly with DrWayne last night. He has gone downhill rapidly. He acted like he knew me but I think it was confusion.  His wife doesn't have much help and she says he needs to be monitored 24/7 now. I am heartbroken, I have lost a great friend and the Gauge has lost a great contributor and modeler.  Here is a photo taken June 11, 2009 at the Kiski Junction, 6 months before I retired. Wayne is on the left and CNNutbar is on the right. Adding to my sorrow is the railroad we worked so hard to build is now a bicycle trail. The railroad only survived a few years after I retired, losing all of its shippers and bridge problems drove the spike through her heart.
