To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world
I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought
All this talk of food and it is still breakfast time here. Time to slice off some bacon to have with the eggs this morning along with tomatoes straight from the vine and I still have an onion from Rick up the street. I'll grate some mozzarella as well.

Very nice, enjoying those fall color railroad contributions Ed.
I'll have what David's making tonight, instead of potato soup
Bacon and eggs with fresh Vine tomatoes and mozzarella cheese doesn't sound like too shabby of a Contraption either Brent.
Now my mouth is watering and I have nothing made I'd better get cracking!
I'm due for a fall colors railroad contribution here myself.

TF, the fall rust colours in those rails and plates is stunning!
Okay if you guys can torture with food photos, so can I.
The wife planted cherry, Roma, and yellow pear tomatoes this year and there are a lot of lbs still on the vines.
The wife intercepted my bacon slicing this morning and I got four thin slices instead of two fatties like I normally cut. But other than that it has been a perfect morning and I am going to sit outside with my fourth mug of brew.

I've always been a big fan of rust as well. Everywhere it can fester and bubble up except for on my Mustang

Dang Brent! I wish I was over at your house for brunch this morning.
I see you're quite liberal like me with the Wisconsin culture sprinkled thickly over the top
I cut cholesterol in other ways but not with the cheese...
There was no bacon in the recipe Judy left me for the potato soup today. Are you kidding me??? I found a whole package, cooked it up, cut it up and threw it in there...

Track fiddlerI cut cholesterol in other ways but not with the cheese
Fatty foods have very little to do with cholesterol levels, as do genetics. Fitness and weight management determine cholesterol levels more than anything. High blood pressure and high cholesterol levels are a symptom of a poorly maintained machine.
Cholesterol medication is horrible stuff long-term, reading about it should make anyone get with the program. Walking 5 to 10 miles 5x a week is free to do and is the best workout going for high BP and high cholesterol.
All that food in the frying pan is "out of the dirt" food. Nothing manufactured, it's all good for you. Weight issues will be highly unlikely eating "out of the dirt" foods.
Nothing beats feeling really good.

POST HOG!!!
I might as well post before the pictures get too old.
Judy and I went on one of those extended weekend getaways last weekend. We had drove through Rochester and got the red-eyed flight to Laughlin out of Rochester three times but never spent any time or saw downtown Rochester.
Forget those pictures. My favorite part was visiting the little satellite towns around it and finding the last wooden covered bridge in Minnesota.
It was built sometime in the 1800s and moved three times but I don't want to get into the history of it. You guys know I like Bridges and this was one Cool Bridge. The only other wooden covered bridges I've seen were in Iowa when Judy and I took our bikes down there years and years ago.
I do believe the construction of the structure was the Town Lattice truss design.
That Bridge was Too Cool and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
There were carvings in it that the lovers did that carved their initials that carried a lot of history that made you wonder about who they were and when they carved them.
Across the street was a more modern army tank than the Sherman I looked at last year. I couldn't believe how much bigger this tank was then the Sherman when I stood beside it and had Judy take a picture.
They say you never smile standing next to an army tank, so I didn't.
I will go back to Rochester again because we had so much fun and we didn't see all the rest of the surrounding suburbs.
The worldwide famous Mayo Clinic in between these buildings at the end of the street was a magnificent short skyscraper and much too wide to fit in a frame of a picture from my phone camera when we got down there.
We stumbled upon it by chance because I didn't know where it was yet but I took a picture of Judy by the dolphin fountain in the front of one of the three tiers of the huge complex.
The Mayo Clinic was huge!
Good evening
I'm sure some of you guys think Judy and I are a little Wacked. And we are! But we always find a way to have fun as life is short.
She asked me last weekend, What do you want to do? I said, I don't know, What do you want to do? She said let's go to Rochester and check out the Mayo Clinic because I've never seen it before.
Who does that? It was funner than our trip to Bemidji and closer to home. She got a Hilton Garden 3 star Hotel room for $40 on the skyway. I didn't know Rochester had a Skyway.
Long story short we had a blast. Three of the best restaurants and pubs were spitting distance from our hotel room.
Saturday morning when they wanted to charge us $13 for a hotel breakfast with the instant eggs. We went across the street to the Hotel Indigo to pay $3 more to have a chef prepared mighty fine breakfast worth remembering.
We told three other guests about that and they thanked us for the next day.
I sure enjoy talking to you folks here
And I'll fly by the seat of my pants on Judy's whims anytime
1800hrs, who will join me and have a snort of GlenFiddich?
TF, Judy looks like a sweetheart and a lot of fun. I always wondered what the Mayo Clinic looked like, I am on their website a lot when I want to find out about stuff, it is really good.
That covered bridge looks pretty skookum, very cool.
I drove a tracked Bobcat once, not very exciting as I recall, I think a tank would be a lot of fun to try. I think you can drive one in Las Vegas for a hefty fee.
My sister just got home from Argentina, an 18hr trip with a pit stop in Houston. 9:45 min flight from Buenos Aries to Houston and she slept for over seven hours of it. She loved it there and is going back for a vacation.
Don't feel like dinner tonight so I'll take my Glen out to the patio where it is 21c and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Chow.
I'll meet you and Glen out on the patio to enjoy the peace and quiet in a few minutes Brent
The coffee and donut were good in the Diner the other day. So why not You, Glen, the Fiddler and the Fiddich? ...
And as always, Thankyou
I'm beyond Post Hog here Kids!
But I do know how to post a Good Tune!

For my Friend Brent
My good friend Blaine could darn near pass as Gordon's brother.
Got back from my Southern Command. it was a peaceful trip , except for the squirrel.
Friday I head something chewing in the attic, went up there and found nothing but heard a squirrel jump off into leaves outside.
So I found it had enlarged the hole where the AC piping comes into the attic. So Saturday morning I go and get some metal and such to close the hole. I take the stuff up into the attic and go over to the wall and I see a squirrel tail sticking thru the hole into the attic. So I was correct about the squirrel and I shooed him out and closed up his entry point with flashing and selaed it with expand a foam.
Hopefully he will stay out, and yes I made sure there were no more before closing up the hole. ( small attic. ) He was making a nest for winter and the AC piping was a great squirrel stair case.
Hi TF,
Thanks for the Lightfoot video. We saw him in June and although his age was showing, he was as entertaining as ever!
Cheers!!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Here's a couple of Golden Fall pictures for our friend Mike that proudly models the Durango and Silverton.

Thanks TF,
I always feel very melancholy when I hear that song. When we were staying at a cottage on the shore of Lake Superior a couple of weeks ago, Lightfoot's song constantly ran through my mind.
Thanks for posting it.
Good morning
Glad you enjoyed the Lightfoot last night Dave. I've enjoyed his music for as long as I can remember
Sounds like you and the Misses had a good one on your lake get-a-way on Superior. I really like Lake Superior off the North Shore and we're past due for a trip up there. Last time we were up there we stayed at Lambs Resort by the Temperance River. Really something to see, down in the Gorge.
The little store across the highway made homemade onion and blueberry brats and they were so good, we just couldn't eat enough of them around the campfire at night.
One year we were up there it was very hot and the black flies were terrible. Just about the only relief you could get was to sit on the edge of the cliff in the cool breeze off Superior.

Couldn't dig up any of our pictures from that trip but this image represents what a large percentage of the shoreline looks like up there.
That was the year we packed it up and drove up to Thunder Bay Canada as I'd always heard how beautiful it is and it was. I had never seen steeple rock formations before and felt like we were in a different world up there. Maybe we were The hotel guy pointed out the sleeping Indian in the rock formation across the way, and sure enough, we seen it. I wish I could find the pictures of those memories to share.
That was a quick night of sleep last night. Woke at 4:15 and didn't sleep much after that. Earlier to rise is an old man thing I think
Good! I got a work order. Another vacant condo and another squeaky floor in the bedroom. Not as big as the job last Winter.
At least it's that time of the year where I can put a fan blowing out the window sucking all that masonry dust out. That gypcrete ain't no good for you to breath ofcoarse. I tie a T-shirt around my face as it works better than a dust mask. Sporting a goatie, that dust still gets in around the edges
Finish this pot of coffee in about an hour with Judy and it's off to the races again
Have a great day gentalman
