It sounded like you requested it:

Living the dream.
Good morning, diners. It sounds like Bear is already ringing in the New Year! We have another 16 hours to hit 2023.
Kevin, thanks for the sausage on bun. That looks like a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner. From someone who's had cold pizza, hot dogs, spaghetti, or a cheeseburger for breakfast, anything that tastes good is a good breakfast.
Have a good time in Wisconsin, TF.
My wife and I don't have anything planned for tonight. She has never really wanted to celebrate, and now at my age, it's a chore to stay up until midnight.
I'm still working on bridge approaches on the layout. I really thought I would have this finished by now, but work on it is slow. I need to finally get it finished so I can run a train again.
I hope everyone has a great end of the year and a great start to the New Year.
About eight or nine miles west of me, along the BNSF double track mainline, there is a section of track that is below grade through some slight hills. Every time there is snow with wind, the track gets buried. This photo is from about 12 years ago:

Morning All. Flo, a Cherry Coke please. You know, the ones made with Grenadine. Thanks.
Getting ready to watch the Fiesta Bowl today, then heading over to the in-laws house this evening for snacks, games, and a big Happy New Year at midnight. Should be fun.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Water Level Route I had to look this up. It is someone wearing skis being pulled by (traditionally) an animal- horse, dog, etc or (newer) a motorized vehicle of some sort. Who knew I did a version of this once and it was actually a thing? When I was a wee lad, my brother and I got out my sled and saddled up our horse. Was great fun until my brother purposely pulled me into the tree stump in our yard. That ended that.

I was skiing in Colorado at Steamboat.one year, and they were having Winter Carnival. That activity was a highlight, along with a large marching band on cross-country skis. They made an event of it, with a horse pulling a high-school skier down the main street of town. At the end of the course was a ŕamp, and the skier would cut over, release the tow line, and go for distance. The announcer explained the event, then said, "Most places would call this child abuse. Here, we call it Winter Carnival."
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Good evening Diners. A large whisky please, Chloe.
The pork is nearly cooked. Pork sandwiches with the trimmings for all.
An easy going evening before I 'let the New Year in'.

See you in the New Year.

To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world
I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought
I have to fix my broken window today, blah, not much else planned, we went last night to hear our blues friend play. He suffered a stroke about 7 weeks ago, and is making a slow comback.
got the new glass in, I could not have asked for a better cut piece of glass from the mom and pop hardware store. it fit perfect, now i have to putty it.
MLC, have you heard anything from the police or the shooters?
York1 It sounds like Bear is already ringing in the New Year!
"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
It looks like the diner has been moved to 2023! I may have the last post for 2022!

Nope!
Certainly not. 23.15 here.
4 more hours until midnight here.
We got a take-out dinner this year. No, not pizza or subs. This was a gourmet wine dinner and every course was delicious. So, now we'll relax with what's left of the wine and not have to get back on the road.
I still have to clean out the cat boxes and feed them. Ha, I just was reminded that 32 years ago I became a Dad, and adopted the same happy approach to diapers and bottles. I guess little kids and little cats have a lot in common.
Well, Happy New year everyone!
