Mornin' all!
Another brisk morning here. Guess thats about right for January in Indiana though, huh?
Gotta get that morning cup!
Well, I've been making room in the garage the last few evenings as some of you know. I'm trying to make enough room to get my hot tub shell in there so I can work on getting it up and running. See, about a month ago my wife came across a guy who had this hot tub shell that he was looking to get rid of. She bought the thing for $200. It needs plumbing work and since it originally sat sunk in a deck and we want a stand alone unit, I need to build a frame and cabinet for it (Never worked on a hot tub in my life and I know virtually nothing about them!). Well, last night my son and I got that shell into the garage. We were going to bring in the rest of the framing stuff, but it was frozen to the ground. Should be warm enough today (barely!) to free that stuff up, so I'll get it in tonight. Then this weekend I get to start looking in depth at that shell. I get to go through all the plumbing and all that stuff. Joy of joys, right?
**And you guys thought you had Hunny Do lists!**
Speaking of guitars, I have a few myself. I'll have to post a pic or two soon.
And what say the first person to hit page 200 gets to open a new Coffee Shop?
I AGREE, but the person that opens the new diner is responsible for the trail of bread crumbs as well and going back to fetch the stragglers.
I think PC should do it; last time we changed we also had the modernization of the forms and the birds ate all the bread crumbs and Rob’s wife announced she wanted a circus train, my girlfriend demanded a creamery built on the LS&W, dogs and cats were living together, it was horrible! I think PC can give us a smooth transition to the new diner and be completely responsible if things go bad.

PS: PC your welcome.
Phil; I think that would be a good idea----could we?

Oh man! You guys are lookin' to hang me out to dry!
Good morning. Off to work.
Jason, Stay safe working in those flood waters. Remember to sanitize things well. Larry's normal run is between Ranier, OR, and BC. Sounds like they may open I-5 as early as this afternoon. My brother may have dodged a bullet. Looks like some of the rivers crested sooner than the prediction.
Later,
Sue
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Mornin" everyone!
Flo, COFFEE!!! Please. And a hot bowl of Cream of Wheat would be nice with brown sugar. Pretty please (sorry for yelling). I am not awake. I didn't manage to crawl off to bed last night until well after 1AM.
Tom I am glad the service went well. Those are always difficult to do when it involves a close friend. I've done my share over the years................. The family is lucky to have you there to help. You are a gem!
Currently 21°F, the high for the day, here in the Finger Lakes. Forecasting a few scattered snow flurries for this morning and this afternoon. Low will be around 15°F tonight. The next week is forecast to be bitter cold. Glad I got the extra 2 cords of wood last year. By the end of next week I will be burning that wood......
Have to get going and do some cleaning and some shopping today. Have a client coming over tomorrow to do a recording as a present for her kids Grandfather. Birthday present I believe. Shouldn't be terribly involved once I figure out what miking will work the best for a flute trio....... (Mother and two daughters).
Have a great day, and please leave directions to where the dining car gets set please.

We'll get there sooner or later!
Lunch time here. I'll just get a cheeseburger to go. Friday is always busy here. Hope I don't have to work the weekend with the weather we are expecting. See everyone after work!
Eric

Good FRIDAY Morning, Zoe, Diners! Zoe, I'll have a glass of Ed's finest OJ, and a cup of coffee, please, 'n' thank you, ma'am. I'll sit a while and then order lunch.
Eric, I think you're 'preaching to the choir' in here. I have a work cell, but don't even want one for my own. (But that's because I think pretty much all cell plans suck. Of course, that's just my ). What'll get to me is people who are in some meeting or small group at church and someone's texting them or calling them. (It is okay to not answer it, y'know?) As others have said though, the law will only slightly slow down those who don't see it as a problem to begin with. (okay, stepping down off the now...)
Jason, I'd agree with your thing - I don't want it to be easy for work to reach me when I'm not at work...
Jeff, with those pumps out front, that Shell station still looks like it could stand a couple or four more pumps. You're right, you might be able to fit a small switcher in there... (Just teasing you a little). Will that be a full-service station?
CN Charlie - I have confidence in you, Johnboy and Barry to be able to out-freeze PC. Heck, winter hasn't even got started up there yet, has it?
PC? Charlie will see your (+)5 F low, and raise (lower?) you another dozen degrees!
blownout cylinderOh and BTW we used to refer to London as the Miami of the north---because we have had a lot of really mild winters at one point-----
Sue, the way your weather up there has been, maybe we should send you the plans for that ark. Hope you get some clearing up of your skies there before too long. Though from the weather stuff I'm seeing, things aren't looking too promising...Hope things clear up so Larry can get back sometime to work.
Todd, now you have me drooling over your D-28 - I have friends who have Martins (one has a 000-28, and I think another has a Dreadnought of some kind). My current guitar is an Epiphone Texan, got it back in the late 60's - traded my Gibson 'folk' guitar (the one they made with the white half-pickguard) in to the guitar store; the owner's daughter wanted it, so I got a good deal. Needs refretting, and (if I have the money when I do that) I want to install a pickup in it with a jack at the bottom. But that's on the 'later' list for now.
Tom, I'm sure you and the others did your friend Jim proud, as you said. Good that you were able to get a little more of the music he loved 'in' the funeral service.
Unca Roggie - great job on the photo (is that the model, or the original depot?? Guess you're good enough that I can't tell...).Around here, no passenger stations, but we have the SSW/SP/UP (with BNSF trackage rights) that goes alongside our riverwall downtown. Only has crossarms on the road that goes through the wall on the north end to a small area (smaller when the river is up, and non-existent when the floodgates are closed in the spring), and exit out the south gate. I can hear the trains at night sometimes or in the mornings when I go out to my car, and I'm a couple of miles or more from downtown. And [#ditto] Barry's comment on 'modern' train stations vs. (Ahem...) REAL train stations.
Ryan - , when we get a bunch of Diners going (and more lately, since we got some new folks in), the pages mount up, don't they? And you've prepared another fantastic lunch menu, Chef! That was a great story about the writer and K-19, too.
JR, maybe we should ask Jason about those 'submersible' carriers?
pcarrell Oh man! You guys are lookin' to hang me out to dry!
Terry, good to see you back - we were thinking if we moved, we'd have to leave you a note on the post to tell you how to find the new location! Whatcha been doing on the layout and other stuff?
Zoe, I think I'll order that Blue Plate Special, and a bowl of that veggie soup, please. Oh yes, and a root beer float, thanks!
I'll let my food stop my mouth a while...
Blessings,
Jim in Cape Girardeau
Jeff,
I have some spare HO-Scale gas pumps if your interested.
Well alrighty then, guess I'll grab this bull by the horns and see if I can ride it!
OK everyone, grab your drinks. They're coupling up now to move us over a few tracks!
Here's a link to the new place!
See you there!
Got the dreaded Timeout Error message - and posted a copy of it for Bergie. Maybe we need to move the Diner before page 200...
JimRCGMOMaybe we need to move the Diner before page 200...
