Elliott's Trackside Diner XII

[galaxy]

Hello all,

Well, Jeffrey,you beat me to it. I was gonna open a new diner when I saw we had reached the 70 page mark this morning, but I didn't really have time to even post. Thank you.

Went shopping bought La Roma Tomato, Dill, Parsley, three kinds of salad greens, oregano, thyme, and some mary-golds and a flat of pansy to start off with. Over 90* here today, Really have to thank my stars I have an a/c van and house. Whew! gotta love A/C!

Went to visit my father and the in-laws today. Got that out of the way. MIL looking for something to bloom in early spring and stay bloomed all summer into fall. A plant. We have no such animal in these here parts we were told at 3 garden centers. {and we suspected}.

It would seem Dandilions have about taken over the planter and around the pond area this year. Durn it!

We I will have plenty to do next few days preparing the planter and pond.

Well, have a great evening folks and welcome to Jeffrey's new diner.

Cheesh!  Here I was eating lunch and getting ready to chat with somebody or other, and all of a sudden the darn thing starts to move.  I must have fallen asleep in the booth as nobody was in the place.   

So this is the new location, huh?  Just one track over so i doubt anyone will have any trouble finding the place.  

Another new record for high temp in April here in the Finger Lakes. Highest ever reported for the month here was set last Saturday at 89°F.  Right now it is 87°F outside which is a new record high for the 27th. of April.  Sure hope this isn't what Summer is going to like this year!  On the other hand it is a nice cool 65° down in the train room, so..............

Dick you mentioned Bully Hill Vinyard's.  Walter S. ––––––– was the brains behind the Bully Hill Winery on Keuka Lake.  Walter lost the right to use his name on the Bully Hill label after Coca-Cola bought the original Taylor Winery which Walter was part of as a family member.  When he started the estate winery on Bully Hill, he signed his name on the bottles and was promptly taken to court where he was told he couldn't put his real name on his wine as it was a copyright violation.  Walter legally changed his name to Walter S. –––––––––– Thus beginning a great "tongue in cheek" advertising campaign.  He planted some wonderful French/American Hybrids and proceeded to make some full bodied French tradition wines.  Walter S. ––––––––– was also a good artist and his work ended up on many of the wine bottles.  One of my favorite was directly related to the lawsuit, "(You didn't get my) Goat".  There are now many, many fantastic small estate wineries on several of the Finger lakes with some of the best on Seneca Lake where I live.  If you ever decide to vacation in this area let me know and I will escort you on the wine tour.  Finger Lakes Wine is among the very best in the world and has won many international competitions to prove it!

Some information on Walter S. –––––––– and the Coca-Cola Lawsuit can be found here: http://everything2.com/title/Bully%2520Hill%2520Vineyards

I think I will disapear down to the basement and see if the paint is dry on the locos.........  And cool off!

She has a short list of structures needed to finish her town, so perhaps tonight we'll search some online sites to see what is available that might work for her.

Careful now, short lists have a nasty habit of becoming long lists, especially when I'm shopping for something.

Coffee in a large  SOUTHERN  mug, please & thanks.

***Jeffrey, nice work there!

Wife's HO Layout: We spent a few minutes in the train room together, making decisions. Seems I'm still the one doing all the work though. No surprise there and I really don't mind a bit. She has a short list of structures needed to finish her town, so perhaps tonight we'll search some online sites to see what is available that might work for her. Cut & glued some wood around the Drive In Theater screen. Hacked at some foam in a few spots and made a couple culvert pipes using that tinfoil over screw technique. Whoever suggested it, that's a pretty neat idea. 

My N layout: Zero progress to report.  

Hope everyone is having a great day.

 No idea. Maybe dodging the weather like I am. Weather map shows some ugly stuff moving my way from down south. See ya later.

Hello Jeff!...Nice photo. Where is everybody else?

[jeffrey-wimberly]

 As we were getting up into the 70's on pages in the old place it seemed high time that we move ... again.

Those who wish to look up something in the old one can go here.

Here's a photo of some of my most recent work just to kick things off.
