General Discussion

Off doing research in Golden today and while driving back to the office watched one of Uncle Pete's semi's delivering a freshly painted DRGW narrow gauge pile driver #O-B to the Colorado RR Museum. Not exactly something you would see most days.

Mookie:

CW - I lurk occasionally.  Haven't completely disappeared.  (Actually, I have been next door reading the new Trains magazine to Iowa Brian!)

Yeah, didn't you know I can't read?

I've been pretty busy lately working on the latest remodeling project- the Master Bathroom.  So far I've removed the vanity, put a new layer of drywall on the ceiling so I won't have to try removing the popcorn texture, and replaced the old light fixture with two new ones.  Next up, finish off the ceiling drywall, install crown molding, and paint.  Then I have to refinish the vanity and reinstall it.

Off to the dentist this hour....Morning fun.

Light clouds today....72 projected.  Still no rain.

morning

Good Thursday morning, everyone.  Really good to see Mookie and Brian in last night, along with Justin and Adrian!!  (Mookie, I sometimes lurk myself.)  Although, some may not realize that, because I usually try to keep logged on, in case the trains computers are down for updates, or some other problem.  

Temp's not too bad this morning:  somewhere in the low to mid 60s, but no wind like yesterday morning, so the air is very comfortable.  Supposed to have a high today in the mid to upper 70s.

Coffee, juices, lemonade, iced teas, and hot water for hot tea, and icy cold Gatorade for mudchicken are ready.

Been busy in the kitchen fixing breakfast:  sausage, biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs, and we've got fresh cantaloupe chunks and watermelon chunks (seedless, so no one has to pick out the seeds, or try to spit them across the room.

I heard/saw on the internet that we lost two more actors yesterday:  Karl Malden (Streets of San Francisco, and American Express commercials, and movies) and Harve Presnell.  I remember Mr. Presnell from several movies, although I can not remember the names of the movies.  Let's see, does this bring the total up to 8 or 9?  I'm losing count already.  

Mookie, I have your coffee mug ready, if you'd like to join me out in the garden this morning.  

Wet.  Good in that it waters the flowers and I don't have to drag the hose around.  Bad if it keeps it up over the weekend.

The usual, in the corner...

What is up with all the Tim Taylor's here?  IA Brian and Houston Ed both into remodeling. 

Well, if you insist - I will pull up a crate and sidewalk superintend.  It's what I do best! 

Joe - are you one of the states out of $$$$?  I think I read that somewhere in my pile of papers this morning.  Also we will be doing a benefit for CA. 

CW - I drink my coffee and then feel sleepy.  Any suggestions?

Little moisture in the area, but looks to be a great long weekend.  In the 80's.  Usually so hot you can't breathe, so this is very nice.

Tree - we have a set up that automatically waters the lawn and flowers.  Landlord. 

Back to lurking.  Maybe catch a passing chicken.

Good Morning

We got another 30% shower this morning---it dumped for 1/2 hr. We're supposed to go up to a 70% chance of showers for today/tonight. It'll clear up after tomorrow ---to a mix of sun/cloud for the weekend.

Got some stuff to do in the basement----

Have a good one

Same here, in a way.   I see my landlord every time I look in a mirror....

On watering--I used to move sprinkler hoses around the front and back yards until about four years ago and we had a sprinkler system installed. Now, I just have to check the control and make sure it is getting enough water to the grass. As Larry, I see the landlord if I dare look in the mirror.

Ricki lived in Boise for ten years before we married. About a month and a half before we married, she visited me in Reform, Alabama. While there, she looked at the lush grass in the yard and asked me, "How often do you water?" I answered, "Never, and it still grows."

On the move to the July Version--Tom, you apparently got Larry's corner set up for him; he has not complained about it yet.

On dentists--Quentin, I hope you came off better than Tom and Willy. I think it was the last time I had my teeth cleaned that the hygienist noticed a discolored spot in my mouth; it turned out that the spot was an opening which allowed the pressure from decay to be eased so that I did not know that I needed work done on a tooth. Incidentally, has anyone of you read Ogden Nash's poem about visting the dentist? I had it copied out on my computer, and had not backed my hard drive up before it crashed. If I can find the book, I can copy the poem out again,

We are having occasional light showers, with the high in the eighties, and the low such that we can sleep almost comfortably with the window open.

I'm not even watering the plantings here---we get barrels of rain by the looks of things

Some tortures are physical
And some are mental,
But the one that is both
Is dental.
~Ogden Nash

Is this the one?

No, Mookie, that's not it; I had forgotten about the one you remembered. Mine is much longer, and, among other things, he wrote of how the dentist fills your mouth with all sorts of tools. I will have to look for the book. I gave a copy of the long poem to my then dentist; he did not make any comment on it.
