Flintlock76 pennytrains I just looked, there's still a York Steak House in Columbus! Google them to see the dinner rolls! I just did! Wow! Reminded me of the Ryan's rolls! This is the first I've heard of the York Steak House, I don't think they made it to NJ, at least to our area. They've never been to the Richmond area either to my knowledge. I've heard of the Ground Round though. I think they might have been to NJ but I'm not sure, I've never been. I remember the commercials though.

Ground Round was a Howard Johnsons brand. Popcorn and peanuts for appetizers and you were encouraged to throw the shells on the floor! There's still one of those in Ohio too, South of Toledo. I need a driver who wants to do a "favorite restaurants tour". The nearest Stuckey's is about 30 or 40 miles away so I haven't been to one of those in ages either. Too bad there aren't any Roy Rogers or Red Barn restaurants around anymore.
Same me, different spelling!
fifedogneed to pick up a small can of Dullcoat
Wow. Better move fast, the Testors line of paints have been discontinued by their owner, Rust-Oleum if I'm not mistaken, or so I've been told by the folks at Hobbytown who were just as shocked as I was. Testors was the standard for decades.
In lieu of Testors I've been using Tamiya paints. Their versions of Dullcoat work very well. The rest of the paint line's pretty comprehensive as well and the quality's excellent.
Chicken pot pie? Yum! I'll tell you though, for a great over-the-counter CPP try Marie Callender's. Excellent quality but DON'T microwave them, do them in a conventional oven, they come out MUCH better that way. M-C's turkey pot pies are excellent as well.
Mornin' guys and gals. Clearing and 70 along the Alleghany front range. Pretty good rain overnight, and FifeMax had his usual meltdown...
After dinner (homemade chix pot-pie), lettered my project flatcars, with a combination of Herald King decals and Woodland Scenics dry transfers. Slow and steady, as the materials were all 2 decades old. Very happy with results, but need to pick up a small can of Dullcoat to seal my work.

pennytrainsNewest Dr Who episode I've ever seen starred Sylvester McCoy! Well, not counting the Fox movie.
Yikes! That's 35 years ago!
The most recent revivals with David Tennant and Matt Smith were pretty good! The Peter Capaldi ones were strange and got stranger as time went on. The last Doctor we didn't bother with. Well, actually Lady F watched one or two but lost interest quickly. Still strange.
We watched the Fox TV movie though. I don't remember who played the Doctor but I DO remember Eric Roberts as The Master. He did a good job with the role too, funny like Roger Delgado and scary like Anthony Ainley, a nice combination.
I just looked, there's still a York Steak House in Columbus! Google them to see the dinner rolls! I also saw a picture of a sign advertising a Kansas City strip steak dinner for $3.99!!!!
I miss the Ground Round too.
Getting hungry yet Fife?
Flintlock76 pennytrains my Doctor Who connection, We get Doctor Who on BBC America but we've got to pay for that one. Lady F says after the 60th Anniversary special she may just drop it, Doctor W's not as good as it used to be. Gotten downright weird.

Mornin' guys and gals. Cloudy and 78 along the Patterson Creek cut-off, with some juicy for the afternoon. Need the rain, just not 1-3 inches all at once. Oh well. FifeMax has vet visit this morning.
We attended the Diamond J rodeo at the Mineral County Fair last night. It was the bovines' night. By my count, the score was Bulls 18 Cowboys 6. And quite a few of those walked away holding some body parts. Wifey loves watching the rodeo clowns.
pennytrains York Steakhouse, great dinner rolls.
Sounds like Ryans with the dinner rolls, we LOVED that place. Then one day they were gone and we don't know why.
Golden Corral took it's place but we gave up on that one. Let's just say it attracted some rather bizarre people. We're not snobs by any means but when we started calling the place "The Freak Show" it was time to move on.
Oh, I don't know. I just picked up a new channel yesterday: Story Television. Monday was military history day so being June, a lot of the episodes were D-Day and WWII related. Today is science day and they seem determined to find as many ways as possible to blow up the earth! Unfortunately I had to lose Retro tv, my Doctor Who connection, to get Story TV.
fifedog I thought train fans were all old, like Daddy...
Not at all! There's a whole rising generation of young railfans! Here's a few worth watching:

All well worth a look, especially on those nights when there's "Nuthin on!" which seems to be the case nowadays.
Morni...y'all making' me hungry. Stop it.
Train of Thought***
Wifey and nurse princess took grandson for hike Saturday. They arrived right after 1309 passed by, at Helmstetters Curve. Parking lot was full. As they walked, they saw a throng of photographers walking back to their cars, to which my daughter said,"Mom, these guys are all young. I thought train fans were all old, like Daddy..."
I miss Ponderosa, great buffet. York Steakhouse, great dinner rolls. Mister Donut, donut a stick. Fanny Farmer, in Cleveland Union Terminal's basement. Howard Johnsons, Frankfurters and malts. Arthur Treacher's, loved the crunch pups. T-bone steaks at the grocery store that cost less than $20 a pound!
Texas Roadhouse is a great place! Much better than Longhorns.
Evening folks, and happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there!
Not much going on here. I did give my father a Texas Roadhouse gift card. Might go bowling with some friends tomorrow.
Evening all.
Happy fathers day to the fathers in here.
Many, many moons ago my oldest brother was an asst. manager in one.
I have been working on getting the second floor into my storage room. just about done doing so. My neighbor is going to come over and help me put the attic steps in tomorrow. Then I can finish getting the floor down and the rest of the insulation in.
Otherwise not much going on around here.
Last time I was there, we (mom and I) were the only customers. The food was just as good as always. I loved, loved, loved their chicken noodle soup! I always also had their chicken strips with their rice on the side. And of course, a big malt! We always went home with at least 3 cartons of ice cream too.
But the ice cream started showing up in supermarkets and I think people stopped coming to the restaurants when they could buy their favorites on their regular shopping trips.
Unlike Howard Johnsons, they gave the power over the disposition of their restaurants to the franchisees. So many of them started selling out to land developers that the whole chain collapsed.
pennytrains Oh! Friendly's! How I miss them! They closed all their restaurants in Ohio several years ago.
Oh! Friendly's! How I miss them! They closed all their restaurants in Ohio several years ago.
Yes, we too! There was a nice one less than two miles away we went to at least once a month. They made a chicken pot pie during the winter that was fabulous!
The Friendly's collapse was a shocker. I suspect a MAJOR corporate foul-up on somebody's part. It usually happens when a holding company buys a business they know absolutely nothing about and then try to run it thier own way. Either that or they bleed it white of profits trying to keep their other concerns afloat.
Happy Father's Day. Sunny and cool along the Allegheny front range. Heading up the mountain to have brunch with stepdad after while. Other than that, just a nice quiet day will do just fine.
Good Afternoon
Yeah, Jenni is opting out of seafood for a bit, lol and I do not partake.
After work, I brought Jenni her Charger to the local cruise night and I drove her HHR back home after. Had dinner at Friendly's, who is the cruise night sponsor.
Weather will be in the 90s today and in the 60s tomorrow --- like, what?
Sunday we'll need to find ou where Jenni's Dad is and my Princess will spend time with me on Monday when shes off.
Not much else - Happy Anniversary, LionRoar!!
I am the monster in your head...And I thought you'd learn by now, It seems you haven't yet.I am the venom in your skin --- Breaking Benjamin
Mornin' guys and gals. Sunny & steamy in the Potomac Highlands. Wifey said something about a hike today, if so we'd best go early...
We held our local NRHS chapter at the American Legion's pavilion in Cumberland, right beside the Amtrak station. Nice turnout of members to enjoy and trains.
Becky - not to worry, no lobstahhh west of I-81.
Fife, you may want to hold the shellfish!
anjdevil - Sunday-Monday works for us. The "Parisienne" room awaits.
Congratulations to you and Jenni 'Devil, and my sympathies to Jenni and her lobster experience. Sounds like what happened to me the last time I had crab.
Good afternoon!!
Wedding was great - thanks for the congas!! - Honeymoon was a washout and Jenni got food poisoning from some bad lobsta'. She's ok now.
Jenni is back at work today, first since just afore Christmas - so she's nervious and all that. She'll do fine.
I have a fleet of beeps, a bang and a beef - they run very nicely.
Kev - glad you are back on your feet - sucks about the nerves, though.
Softball tonight - went 1 for 2 with an RBI on Monday's loss.
Now that things will be slowing down a bit - we'll be discussing living arraignments - I will be definitely selling my house in October, that leaves Mom's and Jenni's. After that, who knows.
Fife - Visit is very overdue - we're discussing finances and trips now. Sunday-Monday since we both work on Saturdays
OK back soonest - I'm minding the "store" at work
TheWaysideRailroader Evening folks! well, the RMT Beep from trainz.com arrived and it's running great! I love how much it can pull!

Those Beeps are pretty good little engines, I've got six! (It just happened)
Put two or more together and they'll pull just about anything!
Mornin' guys and gals. Clearing and 71 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. PT at noon, and will probably work on the flower beds today.
Did finish the caboose window "patch" up at WM station, by prepping plexiglass to fit over the smashed glass on CRR 1072. Chapter Prez happy with the fix. Talked to a lot of nice folks FRI-SAT, most notably Pack 266 from Indiana.
Train room projects included affixing a Concord Miniatures engine crew in my Williams 4-6-0, and prepping a couple Lionel truss rod flatcars for painting. Can't decide on color, black, brown or oxide red.
Good guy finished 1st at Sonoma yesterday.
