    Cold this morning, about 57 when I got up. I think it got up to the high 60's - I guess it's getting close to Fall weather?

    Man - that will be a job getting rid of that tree, I hope the bridge is okay. Glad nobody was hurt. I just worked on the basement all day. I have the walls of the play room all drywall'd. Need to finish a piece of wall going up the stairs and some overhead stuff for the drop ceiling to go...

    Mikey - I was thinking I could have a 4 ft by 10 ft screen over/behind my layout if I planned things right.... Man, the projector set him back about 650, but then he also got the screen, a replacement bulb, etc. I think he is probably out $1k on the whole setup. It was 720p, which is more...

    Just the usual run around today. I did get to talk trains for a couple minutes with a co-worker. Daughter got a big bump on her head at school playing "state tag". They have a big map of the US painted on a parking lot and the kids have to run to the right state before they get tagged out...

    Hey Jim, can ya change my oil? I'm past due on both vehicles but need to find the time to get it done. I'd do it myself, but have to get them serviced anyway, so it's all part of the deal.

    Prayers, Ozzman - hope this works! I'm home today with a sick kid. My son woke us up around 3 with a migraine so bad my wife thought it might be a brain hemorrhage or something and wanted to go to the hospital. We gave him some Advil and that helped within about 1/2 hour and now he seems to...

    Good to see you made it Jeffrey - hang in there. Nothing much going on here today. Somehow, I ended up with two copies of the August/September OGR mag? How did I do that?
