    The Conductress has tried to talk me into getting someone to do the yard, but frankly do the yard is probably the most exercise I get. I have a process I use, especially in July, August, that gives me time to recoup a little between yards. Throw in that I'm using a riding mower and it's not all...

    I do my own stunts, .......... of course, not intentionally. Good morning, all! A cloudy, muggy day. Humidity at 90%. Forecaster are saying that this is the season farmers in South America and Mexico burn their fields. The stoke eventually drifts this way causing a gray sky. On the plus side it...

    As for the RMS Olympic, it was about 100 nautical miles (190 km; 120 mi) away from the Titanic’s last known position when the disaster occurred. The Carpathia received a message from Captain Rostron of the Cunard’s RMS Carpathia, which had already arrived at the scene, providing critical...

    What do Mr. M. Hersey, Mr. J.P. Morgan and Mr. W. Finch have in common? Good morning, all! A nice day in the making. Temp started at 68 and going to the 80's but humidity is low. Our first 90 degree day could be Wednesday. Not a lot to report. I ran a few trains around the layout just to sort...

    Good morning, all! Quite an exciting early morning. Thunderstorms roared through around 3:30 AM. The intensity was something I haven't felt in a long time. The thunder was so deep it vibrated the entire house, one actually vibrated the bed. The entire front yard is littered with limbs, leaves...

    Good morning, all! A very warm and humid day, muggy that's the word. Dense cloud cover, no eclipse will be seen here. Guess I'll check on TV or maybe live stream from NASA. From the archives, STAY SAFE LATER

    Good morning, all! A really nice day on hand and I hope we can get out and enjoy it. Not much to report on. Eclipse - Lots of disappointed folks around here as forecasters are saying we will be very cloudy. AI - If you want to have a little fun with it try this, write a paragraph or two about...

    Good morning, all! A very cloudy and humid day here in Houston. Starting temp is 70. Grocery shopping is on today's agenda. Not sure if trains will see any action today. We took a short drive Sunday and found a few places with blue bonnets and Indian Paintbrush. Nothing like what you see in the...

    Good morning and Happy Easter to all! A cloudy start to the day, a slight chance of rain, the smell of charcoal in the air and cars already arriving at the neighbors for an egg hunt. I don't believe in conspiracy theories either. I do however question the sudden jag into the bridge support...

    Good morning, all! Chamber of Commerce weather. Bob, looks like I spoke to fast or I jinxed your repairs. Took 3 attempts to log in, and just as slow as ever "liking" or turning a page. Not sure if we are dyeing eggs or not. STAY SAFE LATER

    Good morning, all! A beautiful day, sunny with temperatures predicted to be in the low 70's. If I had a convertible, the top would definitely be down. Awaiting a call from the dog groomer to pick up my little buddy. I intend to try and mow the back yard this afternoon. Maybe a train or two after...

    Houston is already looking at bridges on the ship channel. The first bridge is the Fred Hartman Bridge. The stanchions for the bridge are outside the channel in 5' off water. They said the ship would run aground before hitting the bridge. Tugs are normally dropped once a ship has cleared points...
