~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, so glad you found a provider. Thats a good start for now. Your view is absolutely stunning! Jude, glad you are taking the class. We can never be too safe! Cowboy I would also love to see pics of your trains. Mr. R had quite a train garden but since moving to a smaller home there is no room. He does have several trains displayed on shelves in his office. I saw on You Tube that you can clean the grates of the grill with rolled up tin foil. Well that was a failure. Little bits of foil are all over the grates. Today is a rainy day so we are going to see the new movie Twisters. I will be eating buttered popcorn under a comfy blanket in the recliner chairs. (I am actually excited about that! LOL). 24 more please and thank you!

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

Loved the pictures Ginger. We have had smoky air for the last week or so, there's so many wildfires burning and a few towns have been evacuated. I see on the news this morning that the historic town of Jasper is now on fire, not sure how much of it they'll be able to save.

I heard a neat trick was to put your grill grates in a self-cleaning oven Rava. Not sure if that works for the ceramic coated grates though if that's what you have.

I think it's pretty important to take any course you can when it comes to motorized vehicles Jude. Safely should always be #1.

I started expanding my railroad setup on both ends. One end will be my rail yard (partially completed) and the other end a rural farming area. I'll tale some pics today and get them posted.

[Ginger999]

Oh no! That's terrible about Jasper, ABC. Praying for all those affected by fires and those fighting so hard to stop them.

Dr ordered an xray of my back and blood work. He seemed fine. We will see.....

Rava, that sounds like the perfect day. Enjoy!

Let's all have a great day! I'll take another.

I'm waiting on a couple of more buildings and worker figures to get here then I can finish laying the gravel in the parking/yard area. I've got lots of wiring on the lights and track switches to keep me busy till they get here lol.

Those pictures are beautiful, Ginger. And I'm so happy you finally got in with someone. I thought you mentioned he is a Nurse Practitioner at first. Is that correct or is he an actual doctor? I'm glad you like him and you are getting treatment!

Cowboy, your train set up is fantastic! Thanks for sharing those pics. You are amazing....but we all knew that already.

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. I overslept and had to hustle in the morning to get to my volunteer job. Afterwards we had plans to have lunch with a friend and celebrate Mr. D's birthday. It was actually two weeks ago but we had a time coordinating a time until yesterday.

Jude, I think you made a good choice in taking that motorcycle course. We need you to keep safe!

Rava, that outdoor movie sounds really fun. Hope you enjoyed the show.

I am really disgusted with myself this morning as I let my guard down yesterday and bought wine on my way home from volunteering. I drank every bit of it and feel awful this morning. It isn't so much the physical aspect as the psychological aspect. Not only did I not really enjoy the drinking, but now I have to spend time getting past the depressing effects. I could kick myself.

So, 24 more for me, please and thank you.

[Jude58]

Cowboy, that's some set up you've got there... Very cool!

Rava, let me know how the movie Twisters was. I loved the original one.

Ginger, hope that the new doc can find some answers and a solution for your pain.

24 more for all of us please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. The movie Twisters was good. I think my blood pressure might have been elevated for some of it. Pretty intense but good! Cowboy, Your train set up is quite professional. Looks amazing. Ginger, hope that X-ray shows no major issues. So glad you found someone in your location. It’s really hard to keep ourself together when we have 2 residences. I am actually getting a dentist in both locations. Our primary will do telemedicine over the phone and for anything else we go to an urgent care center. Finding a dermatologist here is almost impossible yet in florida they are on every corner. Crazy! Dill, I feel ya loud and clear. I have done the exact same thing numerous times and also drink every last drop. It’s almost like it’s intentionally planned and I do it without thinking it’s wrong until I wake up. Then it’s all regret and despair. Hang in there, you came right back and you got this. We are all here for you and literally in the same boat! Today is a new day for you. 24 more please and thank you.

Glad you're getting checked over Ginger, lets hope whatever they find is minor and easily treatable.

Bubba and I are anxious to go see the movie when it gets to our theatre Rava, and you've just made me want to see it even more.

Put it behind you dill where it belongs, you came right back and that's what really matters,

Thanks y'all for the positive comments on my train set-up. It's something I really enjoy doing and keeps me busy when I'm home all day. Off to Mannville this morning in the pouring rain and high winds for a Dr appt for my regular thyroid and cholesterol check. We really needed the rain as did all of Alberta.

[Ginger999]

Wow, ABC! That's awesome. I'd love to see it in real life. I know the pictures don't do it justice!

Sweet Dill, I'm so sorry that happened. Was there a trigger or just a WTF moment? You're back and that's all that matters! It's nothing but poison and we all know it but sometimes that truth slips away. It's the DEVIL!

Well, still dizzy and now I think I have shingles! I'm having a WTF moment myself. No AL for me though! That's all I need. Bahaha I'll take another!

[Jude58]

Geez Ginger, sure hope that you don't have shingles, it's no fun!

Dill, don't beat yourself up about one mistake, learn from it and move on.

Heading off to my motorcycle class this morning, sure hope that I don't run anyone over!

Another 24 please and thank you!

[dill]

Thank you all for your understanding and support. I will continue to move forward.

Jude, I am sure you will do great with your lesson. Can't wait to hear about how it went!

Rava, Twister sounds like a good one to see on the big screen. I bet Mr. D will be wanting to see a matinee soon.

Cowboy, hope your checkup went ok.

Hey, Mulburry.

Ginger, I think my mistake was not managing my anxiety level. I was putting myself in to too many social situations and over time it just caught up to me. I wanted the escape. I am not a particularly social person. I like alone time. Unfortunately, you have to do both in this life and sometimes the balance between the two gets lost. I found myself in that moment where I thought I needed the escape and surely I would be able to stop after a glass or two.... I proved to myself, once again, that is just not possible for me.



Feeling better today and would like to keep it going. 24 more please and thank you.

[abcowboy]

5:17am in Alberta, I'll have 24 more please, and thanks...
