Afternoon folks!
Flo, just a glass of Cherribundi Skinny right now. I'll go sit at the Rivet Counter for a while near the Air Conditioner....
Hot! 'tis hot here in the Finger Lakes today! Just hit the 90°F mark. I did a bunch of weeding in the asparagus patch late morning.. Was hot then as well, but tolerable. After lunch I started moving the last of the firewood from the side driveway to the back porch. This is the stuff that I never got moved last fall.... Sometimes I tend to be a little late getting things done. Did 3 wheelbarrows full so far and decided to come in a sit for a bit.
Got a call early afternoon from an dear old teacher friend whom we affectionately call "Ma". Real name is Mable. She was letting me know that a gentleman who the librarian at the Middle School back when I first came to Geneva died yesterday. Obit is in the paper tonight here. He was 85.
Think I'll head back out and do another load of firewood....
Later!

We'll get there sooner or later!
Tractor is running like a top. (why we say that, I don't know.) What else did I get done? I refuse to comment as I may incriminate myself
Jeffrey- I liked Night in the Museum even though I'm not a big Ben Stiller fan. Also, if you like the first one, try the second one (can't think of the name, but you'll recognize it if you see it). Not often a part two do I enjoy, but I liked that one also. If you don't like the first one, I probably wouldn't waste my time on the second. (though I think it isa bit better)
WAIT! Don't listen to Chuck. He's from Texas and most people North of the Motherland like their BBQ sauce a bit sweeter than he would. Probably tasted great. Myself, I like 'em both ways. Sweet for pork, not sweet for beef. But won't bat an eye if it's switched. Even like some Carolina's as l;ong as it's not too vinegary.
Time to get ready for w**k.

Just recovering from a nasty virus. Ended up needing a complete re image of my hard drive back to factory spec and then the inevitable rebuild of all my applications and files. Thankfully I take pretty good precautions when it comes to backing up, so nothing of significance lost. Still it is a pain in the rear end and time consuming to get things back to how I like them.
This particular Trojan defeated my normally secure protection. It came from an infected blog posting site. In other-words it is my fault for not practicing better Net hygiene. (Following some random link off of a BING search result and then clicking "Yes" to a question asking about running a program is a real dumb thing to do) It had one real nasty feature, where it "hid" all my files and programs. It is a bit of a shock to click on "All programs" and get the message [empty]!
To head of inevitable responses. I don't want an Apple, I can't use it for my business applications. Having used both, I now much prefer IE8 over FireFox and have not even bothered to reload FireFox on the newly imaged drive.

Hello Diners!
OK ... Time to decide. Where will the diner be for June? ... I suggested Nova Scotia because it is to be shipped back from Germany...... (Thanks to you know who ) ..... The Port of Halifax would be a good location. CN serves the docks there. .... Then we could tour Nova Scotia. Der John had some ideas for that. We could tour other parts of Eastern Canada, too, while we are at it.
Any thoughts?
Simon ... We finally got an I-Mac recently after fighting viruses almost continuously with the Dell. Good luck with your computer.

This would be a great time of year to visit Nova Scotia! Hopefully a bit cooler than it has been in the Finger Lakes today! Go for it!
Jeffrey wants it in Sundown..... Not unless the air conditioners can put out a lot of coolness. Sometime mid Winter would be good down in infernoland Jeff!
Finally! I have finished last Falls w*rk! Wood is stacked on the back porch. Tomorrow I hope to sweep the driveway and collect all the little pieces. Then people could actually park there again. Still waiting for some items I have on order to arrive like the new key for the mower. Hope it arrives before the next round of mowing..... Also have a few items on order from Caboose Hobbies to use in the engine house
Evening All,
Still pretty warm outside but just a hint of a breeze.
Actually I was thinking Strausburg PA would really be neat, but any place will be fine, after all aren't the diners more important than the location?
I did about 30 minutes of prep work on the layout. I printed a picture of the control panel, numbered the turnouts, used that as reference and numbered the back of the control panel, put up 7 cable supports and drilled 2 more 1 inch holes in fascia behind the control panel to ease routing of wires, and of course painted the holes Tuscan Red (or at least as close as I could find). I have to get a fan for under the layout, it is sweltering under it when working.
Howmus- Infernoland????....I prefer to call it Africa hot.
Everyone take care.

My family offered to pay for my next Star Trek series purchase so I've ordered Star Trek: Enterprise, the complete series. That's nearly $200. Glad they're paying for it.
Hey, sorry if I sound short but could someone clue me in as to how this place works? Seems I made a wrong turn somewhere...
Diner has moved!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
