A little early, are we?  Perhaps this should be Chatterbox 3.666666666........

It'll be a third, but that's all right.  As long as we're here!

I was bored.  And tired of 3.0.  And checking to see if anyone was even paying attention.  If I don't get to see a train pretty soon, I will start a small bonfire in the corner!  Grumpy

What-ever!  'Sounds like a Valley Girl.  Gag me with a spoon!  Like Mr. Goo-foo!  Gnarly dude! Like totally grossing me out you know. 

     Some of us are paying attention, or whatever.

Good!  I am too poor to pay attention, so will you pay my part, too?

Joe - I hope this was sitting on level ground?  Otherwise, here we go again?  I will say no more.

 

I got to see about 3 trains today.  Finally!  A cup of coffee; a train....doesn't get much better than that! Even in 90' heat!

Mookie had a catfit.  Decided quarters didn't work - so wanted to see if whatever would work.  If anyone would like to take over the Chatterbox and rename it, rework it, wad it up and throw it away - be my guest. 

I just think it is nice that we have a place where we can come and talk about "whatever".

Ms Mook - I think it's just fine where it's at...  

A little good natured gibing never hurt anyone.  Around here you gotta have a pretty thick skin sometimes anyhow.

Fire meeting done.  Tomorrow it's set up for the train show this weekend.  They're talking highs near +90F Friday, but a significant cooldown for the weekend...

     Sounds like a threat  "Cut the humidity boys, or there's gonna be trouble right here in River City! Cowboy

    We, on the other hand, have 65 degrees, and fairly dry.  'Must be living right. Cool

We're hot and muggy today, with rain forecast tonight and tomorrow, brought along by cooler temperatures.  Maybe the rain will give people a reason to come to the train show!

Preheat oven to 350, bake Randy on center rack.
