SeeYou190OK... if no one else volunteers to move the diner... I will hook it up and drag it to Oregon!
Sounds good to me!
Cheers!!

Top of the page! It is Fall and that means that we need some good comfort food. How about beef bourguignon?!? Dianne and I are going to a cottage with three other couples in mid October. We are all foodies so we have to come up with something that sounds (and hopefully tastes) exotic. We will make enough for everybody. We just hope that it will turn out as well as Julia Child's original recipe.
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Good morning
Early to rise over coffee this morning after nodding off in the recliner last night No three month weekend in the planning department this week
Oregon sounds good to me, Kevin and Dave. I've always liked that whole area out west. We were thinking of moving out to the Twin Falls, Idaho area at one time. The waters appear green out there, like alot of the other western states.
Was replacing all the worn out recepticals and switches yesterday. I've come across some interesting stuff in my time, but this one was a doozy.
Someone ran a 20 amp circuit with the dishwasher, all the lights in the place, the recepticals in the bedroom and a receptical over the bathroom sink that was the tail end of it. And all with a mix of 12 and 14 gauge wire.
Lovely, I'd hate to be the guy shaving, while the wife accidentally knocked her hair dryer in the sink reaching for her mascara. That potential load shock could most likely kill ya.
That circuit gets a 15 amp breaker, the dishwasher switched to another circuit, and a GFI over the sink would be good
It's storming up here. Where was all this rain we've been getting, back when all the farmers needed it? Think I'll go revisit the rack for awhile and see what happens. These thunder storms can be some really good sleeping weather sometimes.
Have a great day gentlemen

I am spending the day building contingency routes for an upcoming trip. Some of my riding buddies and I have a national parks trip (Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Natural Bridges National Monument) on the calendar for next week. We have had it scheduled for about six months. Now we have no idea which parks, if any will be open next week. We will still ride but our route and activities might be significantly impacted.

Living the dream.
Pizza anyone? We were invited to a pizza party. The host, now a retired dentist, built this with $30 plans from a guy in Canada. I should have gotten a better pic of the front, but there is fire brick and field stone. That is Mrs Big Daddy waiting for her pizza.

Henry, a good pizza oven sure can make all the difference. That looks like quite a project.
I wish I could join you for some.

Henry, that's a pretty amazing pizza oven. The stone work is impressive. I think I'd wait until the weather cools down before standing in front of that oven watching the pizza cook.

I asked my doctor if I gave up delicious food and all alcohol, would I live longer? He said, "No, but it will seem longer."

Great looking pizza Henry, and I'm always up for those. Our best pizza here is Broadway, or Delano's
My Grandson was seriously hurt unnecessarily at his college football game.
It was ruled unsportsman like conduct, as the player that tackled him was already known for this, and suspended from the game.
It's the risk you got to take playing football. The guy that brought him down, did a gator roll. He knew exactly what he was doing.
My Grandson just had an ACL surgery done today. A lot of torn cartilage loss. Six months on crutches, and no weight on the leg.
Apparently the rules have changed since I've had multiple surgeries on my ACL injured knee. My surgeon wanted me to walk on it right away.
He's young and I'm sure he will bounce back. We're all wishing him the very best, but my Judy has been a bit hysterical.
He'll be fine. Remember Anthony in your thoughts and best wishes tonight if you will please.

Hi TF,
I'm very sorry to hear about Anthony's injury. I hope he is able to make a full recovery.
If the offending individual was already known for poor conduct he should never have been allowed into the game. In fact, he should be removed from the sport entirely! It's no longer a sport when people are being deliberately seriously injured.
Wish Anthony well for us!
Good morning, everyone. Time for the best meal of the day -- bacon and eggs.
TF, that sounds like a rough time for your grandson. I hope he will have a recovery that will amaze even his doctors. Tell him there are some friends online who are praying for him.
It's the last day of September, and also the last day of painting (I hope). I've one wall left to finish, and some work on the the back garage door. Years ago, I converted our garage into a drive through by installing a garage door on the back. I can drive my truck through the garage into the back yard. It was one of the best things I did, but it also means more upkeep on another garage door.
Thankfully, we are having great weather for painting and for all the harvesting going on. The combines are all out in the fields bringing in a bumper crop. The BNSF hopper cars will be getting a big workout this year.
It will be nice to head to the beautiful state of Oregon. I have some relatives living there. They have some interesting things to say about their state lately!
I hope everyone has a great last day of September. It's a good day for watching college football.

We went for another picnic off the lake yesterday. Judy's been wanting to try this new soup and sandwich place called Bo Diddley's. The chicken wild rice soup was really good I'll be back.
It was kinda nice not having to grill for once, even though grilling is part of the fun.
Thanks for the well wishes Dave, I'd have to agree with you. This player was already know for being a poor sport, for things like talking smack, frequent late hits, and what may have you. The gater roll was deliberate.
Your absolutely correct, someone unsporting like that shouldn't be allowed to play football.
Last day off here and Judy's trying to decide what we're gonna do. One of her guests at the hotel gave her a new coffee maker, he only used once for a tip. It's the one you push down on the little cup. This coffee is really good. The only problem is ya gotta buy those spendy little cups
Enjoy your Saturday gentleman
Thanks John

Good morning everyone. Chloe, this morning I would like to have a strawberry pastry with lots of sweet icing on top. Thank you.
At the wargmaing convention I made a few purchases, quite a few actually. I found some great bargains, a great price on a classic board game, and some hard to find old-school Orks.

One afternoon, me and a few buddies drove into Orlando for a feast at my favorite Brazillian Steak House.
It was a great time.

My nephew plays football for Western Michigan. We worry about him all the time.
I love watching football. I was thin and kind of under-muscled when I was younger, so it wasn't the game for me. But, I must admit that if I had a son, he wouldn't play the game. There are just too many chances to get hurt. In her years of playing lacrosse, swimming and skiing for high school, the worst my daughter had was a sprained ankle that sidelined her for a couple of weeks.
I got hit with a puck playing goal back in the days of the old Gerry Cheevers masks, but that was my only hockey injury in 50 years on the ice. I tore a rotator cuff skiing, but those were my only take-time-off injuries in many years of what can be rough sports.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Since it appears that this is a bad habit, exactly what penalty was assessed upon the coach that allows it?
Exactly, ya got that straight Dick. It doesn't seem that leaders are held accountable for anything anymore, ...from a simple coach of a small scale sports team, to a much bigger scale in today's world.
What you said reminds me of that good old classic movie Karate Kid. Mr Miyagi had nothing but integrity and honor in his teachings. In comparison to the other coach, ...there was no comparison.
