Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
I'll have a #2, medium well, thank you. Baked tater and tossed salad.
Wet right now, but the temp is only in the low 40's and there's pink and blue on the radar just south of here. That's a good place for it.
At least we're not running grass fire calls today. All outdoor burns in NY are illegal right now, so we call the environmental conservation cops when ever we get one. They've written a couple of tickets that I know of...

Afternoon folks. We do have the muddled sunshine, and temp is about 45 degrees at 1:45.
The menu for the rest of the day:
1. Tomato soup w/grilled cheese sandwiches, fries and your choice of slaw or salad.
2. Your choice of grilled pork chops (bone in) or grilled rib eye steaks w/your choice of baked taters or steak fries, tossed salad or slaw.
Hope you all are enjoying your afternoon. Take care, keep safe and see you all later.

.....Right you are Cannonball....No peanutbrittle. Might need some adjustments. Decided to try and ride it out until at least Monday when everything should be back to normal place / size, etc....Then decide if we need some grinding / polishing, etc....permanent one, not until April, 20th. So don't want this to continue very long if it's too sharp on the cheek, etc.....
Thursday morning here is hazy sunshine.....and now mid 30's. Looking to see if it makes it up close to 50 by this afternoon....If so, well we just might do our first mowing.

Well, as CW mentioned yesterday, I did go over to Louisville Union Station to try and catch the RBBB animal cars-I rode my bike over about 2 miles and waited until CSX respotted a box car and then brought in the animal cars. (rest of the train at Osborn Yard.)
It was Cold, windy, trying to rain/snow/sleet, etc. I'm wondering what this elephant was thinking as he/she was leaving a warm(er) car than the outside.
I Did NOT stay around and watch them and the horses making the walk from the station to the KFC Yum Center!!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Good Thursday morning everyone. 36 degrees and cloudy here in Louisville this morning. Going for a high of about 47 today, w/"muffled" sunshine, according to the guessers.
Coffee, juices, milk, choc milk, hot water for hot tea are all fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy.
Other than exercises, think I'm just going to relax today. Mookie, have a great time soaking up some natural Vitamin D; everyone enjoy your day, keep safe and see you all later.
good morning
Today is opening day!! breakfast is ready.Juice and coffee are ready.Going to take Matt swimming at the Y this morning then watch the Reds play this afternoon.We'll look at FC to see what CSX has running in between.

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Checking in: youngest granddaughter (17) is now here in the big city and planning on staying thru college. Middle granddaughter is looking into maybe moving here to go to college. Can the oldest be far behind?
For the few people that still read the forum and have visited here, we checked our watch site today and find they have closed the east end crossing permanently. They are in the process of making the main crossing a quiet zone and have done all the concrete work. Should be a done deal in about a week. I imagine the residents will be relieved - there are two xings within a block in a medium density area. But, I will miss all the whistles.
Maybe a sprinkle tonite, but by Sat we will be in Disneyland Weather. Clear, sunny and warm! I am so going to go outside about 2 pm and bake in the sunshine. Going to really soak up the vitamin D! Maybe I will go from lily white-white to lily sorta pale pink? At least for a few hours.

well the guessers guessed wrong.had some snow squalls to drive through today.We saw locals working in leipsic and deshler.The y101 had to sashay around other traffic and mow to get a training car for the new intermodal terminal.(its in their switching limits).Hope tomorrow is brighter as its opening day for baseball.Cw thanks for supper.
switch7frg Quentin , oooh pain and agony ~~~ pain pills on hand?? Respectfully, Cannonball
Quentin , oooh pain and agony ~~~ pain pills on hand??
Respectfully, Cannonball
Cannonball.....Pain has not been too much of an issue with this process. First phase was about a month ago, by a specialist, and now today, back to our family dentist. They prepared and installed the "post" to fasten the {now}, temp. crown...Next, and hopefully final visit for this...will be April 20th. Then the new porcelain crown will replace the temp one I have now.
Of course these operations, do disrupt the system, and now since the Novicane is just about worn off, one feels it here and there. In fact just took two tyleniol to knock that down a bit.
Bright overcast skies now, but it doesn't feel much like Spring today...Mid 30s. Had a few snow flakes flying around this morning.
Good afternoon everyone. Physical therapy this morning went well. Not quite as sore today, doing them. So hopefully, it is beginning to help both my hip, knee and lower back.
Walt just got home from Union Station. He went to catch the Ringling Bros-Barnum & Bailey Circus Train. From what little bit I heard on the scanner, I heard them say something about the Circus Train. About 20 minutes later, Walt is coming in the front door.
It is very chilly here. When I left this morning, it was 39, 40 degrees outside. It is now in the mid 30s, 36, 37 degrees. After I got through with therapy, and went downstairs to wait for my ride, saw it was raining. The snow flurries were north and east of Louisville this morning. Now, it looks like the rain has left, but it is still very chilly and breezy out.
For lunch/supper menu:
1. Grilled boneless chicken breasts w/grilled 'baked' taters, fresh salad, peas w/corn or you can have brussels sprouts w/butter sauce.
2. Tuna melt subs w/fries, regular or curly, salad or cole slaw
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep warm, and take care.
Good Morning.
39°F with a high of 52° forecast for today. Partly Cloudy.
No local RR news.

Sun is shining, birds are singing, it's up to +46F so far and it's only noon. If that nor'easter stays on the coast it probably won't bother us.
I suspect some folks on the east coast would prefer a root canal to another snowstorm...
.....Overcast and dry here this morning....Mid 30/s temp. Tomorrow, believe some sunshine headed our way....Hope so, if I'm going to start yard mowing in March this year, that's my last chance.
East coast looks like it will be hit with a late season Nor' Eastener on Friday....Talk of a half of foot of snow or more going up the coast from Phila. on up....And that will be April....!
Now....must get ready to go for next step in root canal and crown....Already past the first step....
Edit: A few snow flakes in the air.
Temp. Crown now in place.....Check book is hot.
Good Wed morning
weather guessers say the precipitation will be to our south today.Another day to work on some projects.Breakfast bar is ready.Juice and coffee are ready too.
Helloooo, I finally made it back in. And I'm glad there's been several of you in here today. Dan, welcome back! Good to see you back in here.
Made it to therapy a little bit early, and they managed to get in early! Today, after I did the "home exercises", the therapist put weights on my right ankle, and just above the ankle for a couple of exercises. I really felt some movement, and said something to therapist. He said, "Good, You're doing it the way your supposed to. That is exercising the hip." May be, but with those weights, it was really pulling on my leg muscles. Get to go back tomorrow morning. Appointment is at 10 a.m.
For supper tonight, there's plenty of vegetable beef soup, and there's also still plenty of Walt's spaghetti casserole left.
We had close to 70 people show up for Produce this morning. We ran out of food (and they didn't bring that much to us): potatoes, lettuce, oranges, 1/2 pint containers of orange juice and individual packets of strawberry yogurt chips.
Rain is supposed to be back in our area around 9 p.m. tonight, thru noon tomorrow. Possibility of snow flakes mixed in with the rain. Everybody have a good evening and take care.
afternoon
able to get outside and level out where the snow plow left some rutts at the end of the street.Sunshine feels good outside.Cw thanks for supper.have chores to do inside.
I hit areas with quite a bit of snow still on the ground enroute to Utica yesterday - but they are areas where they get a lot of snow. Only piles around my house, and we got into the 40's today, so they'll be disappearing soon.
My tulips and lillies are starting to peek through the mulch - always a good sign.
A little scare first thing this AM, though, as it was "spitting" snow for a little while. No accumulation, fortunately.
It'll be a bit before I have to mow here, though...
Good afternoon everyone. Great day outside.
Sunny, and 46°F. First sunny day since the 19th.
I had a lot of errands to run yesterday and when that was done I had to lie down for awhile. When I finally felt like checking in here I could not get on to the site.
While I was out I did get a chance to see CN moving empty intermodal cars near their Sarcee yard. Considering we are at the end of their line, off of their mainline from Edmonton, I understand they do a pretty good business here. They haul domestic containers from central Canada, at a rate that compensates for the roundabout routing, by providing a single railway service. It seems to work because they have been doing it for years. CP can't possibly pick up from every loading point down there, so once CN lifts the cars, they carry them all the way here.
Everyone have a good day.
Talk about a slow response....

CNW 6000 Modelcar: A little frustration setting in: Our planning of having the lawn rolled has not happened yet, and....In a day or so, I want to mow....It really needs rolled too....Seems the type of Winter we have had, roughed it up pretty good. So many yards in this area have so many "brown spots" from the Winter too....Mine is not as bad as many, but does have some. Still keeping the snowblower ready to fire around here. I still have 4-6" of snow on the grass. It's been so long that I'm thinking Mow is only a railroad term...

"MOW".....Sorry your Spring is slow in arriving. Just hope we can get our "green" settled down nice and smooth, and growing and covering those Winter induced, brown spots.

Well, good Tuesday morning everyone. Everything has been cleared and washed up from supper last night. Now, that everything has been straightened up:
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Regular breakfast menu items are on the serving station.
There is a pot of vegetable beef soup on the stove, simmering for lunch today. Just in case I don't get back in, before I have to leave for my physical therapy. (And I'd better see that a whole bunch of you have been in, when I do get back.)
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and see you all later.
Wow! It took me 20 minutes just to get in the door here. Kalmbach really needs to speed things up, so everything isn't so slow!!
Anyways, Joe and others here, the leftovers are what Walt fixed last night:
His grandmother's Italian spaghetti casserole, w/a tossed salad and fresh steamed broccoli, and bread sticks.
Tomorrow, is my first appointment for this next round of physical therapy sessions. My appointment is for 2:00 (set my pickup time for 1 p.m., so I can actually be there on time).
This afternoon, I actually got out and took a nice walk. Then, came home and did my back exercises along with the new exercises for my right leg/knee and hip.
Mudchicken, thanks for letting my know about dining car! Our predicted "snow" last night didn't make it out of the clouds last night/this morning. And we got up to about 50 degrees today for our high. Maybe we're beginning to get back on track for spring weather and temps.
Everyone have a good evening, be safe and take care. See you all in the morning.
Well, helped adjust the brakes on a car today. A baggage car. Not terribly complicated, but everything is just BIG. And dirty. Time for a shower.
matt and I went to get some replacement timber for or shed.Some of the boards were still frozen together in their barn where we pick them up.We can't paint until we get some days above 50 degrees.Cw leftovers sound good for supper tonight.Feels great being on spring break this week.
