Hi Chuck......  "today is a busy day."  It is your birthday!  Happy B-Day

You need to have some Beer to drink while dusting the layout.  Three Beer will make the chores go faster and provide you with a sound foundation for a nap later. 

Sorry there are no Cheerios left for you to eat on the dining car this morning.  Someone stole the entire stash.  So you are stuck with a choice: grits, spackle, or drywall paste served up with Red Eye gravy, compliments of the Chief.  Or you could just eat Cake for breakfast.

Happy B-Day  Re your age on this glorious day, I have #51 in the POT pool, and the over/under is 3 right now. 

We tried to get a copy of your birth certificate to verify your place of birth and date; but the President has invoked Executive privilege, secured it in Fort Knox, and won't release it until you announce you are running for President in 2016.  Smile, Wink & Grin

Have a good one!!!!!

Good Morning from Blueberryhill....

It is a Cheerios morning. Holy Cow, everybody is up. I never saw so many boxes of Cheerios before.

Thanks for the Great Birthday Wishes. You Guys are a wonderful bunch of Friends.

I plan to take it easy today and enjoy my day. Run trains this afternoon. A TooT for you.

Dining  car has rolled in, loaded with Cheerios. Guess what I am having for breakfast. YEP.

Y'all have a great Tuesday. I will.

Call and wake the old codger up. After all, its only his birthday. Laugh

Off to the lake house with contractor.  Taking "old" [which was fairly new] counter top and sinks from kitchen to install there.  I will mow while they work.

Yesterday was a "day and a half".  In the AM, sawed up a BIG pine tree at the pond.  It was blow over and was 4 foot off the ground.  Then in the afternoon, trimmed all the shrubs.  Had pickup loaded as high as the cab top.  Did not haul to the pond woods.  Used my chipper shredder and ground it all to mulch.  Mulched my garden middles between the beds.  Will keep down the weeds and grass as wells as hold moisture.

Later.

Morning to All,


CakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeHappy Birthday ChuckCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCake

Had a great belated Mother's Day dinner last night with our son. Chicken Scallopini....Yum!

Evaluation with my boss went fine.  Guess I get to work at least two more years.  This will most likely be my last evaluation under the old system. The next one will include some version of student achievement data as a large portion of my evaluation.

Well I better get moving. I've got a busy day ahead.

Take care,

MItch

Good morning all,

It is dry so far in SE Indiana.  Happy Birthday to "Points East" as "specials" from all over the country are making deliveries in Ohio today.  Congratulations, Toots as it is good to celebrate your day here on the pot.  Took the wife out to dinner last night for her special day as well and then played a card game with the kids.  I had the regular fare on the dining car before it headed out in the usual direction.  TBIL after "Glee" and I can drive.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on trainng,

Mike C. from Indiana

Now, I know there was sumpthin' I was supposed to do today but it just seems you get another day older and you tend to forget things.  Confused

Oh, now I remember what I was supposed to do. I was supposed to order a Cheerios Birthday Cake. Oops, Embarrassed

Will this one do?
