Mornin ,  an irish coffee please Zoe,

Hope ya'll had a good thanksgiving, ours was ok, play with the grandkids, watched some football, and eat to much.

I decided having ours at Kris's wasn't such a good idea. Mother thought she needed to take half the kitchen up there. I think it's easier to do it here, even with the cleaning.

Jeff,,, you've had run of hard luck with health issues lattely. Best slow down for a bit I thin.

Lee,,, to post photos,,, first ya need a photo account, this one seems to be the easiest for me,,

If'en ya has problems, just give a holler some body here will help ya. Lookin foward to some pics from up your way.

Good morning





Happy MRRing

I thought it would be too, but apparently what you see is what you get.

Good morning Jeff, I find it odd your weather in LA is almost the same as mine in Northern Ohio. High today is 50, and a FOG advisory is posted. I thought it would be much warmer down there.

Good morning all, I hope the turkey was good for all yesterday. We had a nice visit, My Mom and Dad drove in from Toledo for the day. I had to work in the morning, but all was not lost I took some nice close up pictures of a ballast groomer and some large dock cranes. Also I found an old semaphore still standing (NYC) (not in use) and a 3 light Tee signal that is still in use (B&O). It’s interesting that down near the steel mill they have these and the original B&O lighted signals and the yard uses the robot locomotives to hustle the freight cars.

I was going to post a few pics, but can't figure out how. If you want a copy shoot me an email.

Evening Gang:

Ah. Jeff: Take it easy there. It's begining to look like you may be a little accident prone. How about we take turns and watch out for you?

A very nice day here. The weather couldn't have been better. Try 75f, light breeze out of the south, clear blue skys and a great turkey supper. I spent the day moving a manure pile that had been sitting for several years so we could have a little more manuvering room at the barn. Tractors with loaders are great. I also took some time to do some reading. I picked up a book titled "At All Costs". It was about the attempte to resupply Malta during WW2. It manly told of the SS Ohio, the tanker that made a heroic effort to make it to Malta. It arrived with decks awash and under tow but with it's badly needed cargo of fuel oils. If you haven't heard about this event look it up.

Well I think that I'll head for bed.

Good Night All

Well, I don't have any disaster stories for you guys...

I went to my girlfriend's house (well, her parents) for dinner today.  Then we went to her grandparent's for dessert.  THEN we went to my grandma's for more dessert (and to celebrate her birthday).  Overall it was a really fun, although somewhat busy) day.

[jeffrey-wimberly]

Jeff I think you are over due for a vacation

I AGREE!

[pcarrell]

Jeff, we're going to have to get you some cleats for your walking stick!

Hello all, I'm home! Ok David, give up the computer so I can log on.

Been cutting up more plywood today. I cut over 1,500 pieces, mostly box bottoms, tops and ends. I had one moment there when I thought I might get hurt badly. I was cutting a piece of 3/4" CDX measuring 4' x 3 1/5' when it slipped and got gaught on top of the saw blade. the saw threw it back at me. It hit me right above the belt buckle with enough force that it knocked the wind out of me and pushed me back about a foot. I'm glad it hit me on a broad edge and not with a corner. As it is, I have a somewhat nasty bruise there now, and I don't bruise easily.

 

Jeff just be glad that it didn't hit BELOW your belt....

I had another minor disaster today when I was leaving my sister's place.  I was heading home and started down their wheelchair ramp (my brother-in-law has bad knees and sometimes has to use a chair) when the heel of my right walker device hit a slick spot and I slipped, falling between the ramp and a concrete bench, hitting my head on a step. I don't know how long I was out. The next thing I saw was my brother-in-law bending over me. He was checking me out to see if I had any cuts or fractures. I understand it was several of the guests that found me wedged down there. Thank God almost all the guests were trained first responders. They knew exactly how to free me without aggravating any injuries. Fortunately I'm alright, aside from a headache.

Prefect timing Jeff, we ate at 1:00 and its just starting to wear off and now I see you are buying!

   I'm thinking some big ol' shrimp lets say a dozen, pecan pie with real whipped cream ( none of this coolwhip crap) and how a nice batch of those deep fried catfish cheeks. I'll wash it down with a very large Southern Comfort & Squirt, with lots of ice. Double time i'm ready to eat.

Just returned from my sister's place. Man was it busy there.  They didn't have quite 60 but it was still a crowd, and they were waiting for my mother to say grace. Never having been accused of standing on ceremony, my mother borrowed a line from 'Ma an Pa Kettle'. Grace was very simply 'There's the bread, there's the meat, thank you Lord, now let's eat'.

It's a good day for everyone but the turkey, but did you know that the turkey was nearly listed as our nations national symbol instead of the bald eagle?

Jeff -
Ben Franklin wrote this about compairing the bald eagle and the wild turkey

Franklin's Letter to His Daughter (excerpt)

"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

"With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country . . .

"I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America . . . He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on."

Here's a recipe for turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Subject:Fw: Thanksgiving TurkeyRecipe

1 whole chicken or turkey
1 large lemon, cut into halves
sprig of rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Rub butter or oil over the skin of the chicken/turkey until it is
completely coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and any other
seasonings you prefer.

Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the *** meat; Slide
lemon halves under the skin ; with the peel side up, one on each
side. This way the juice from the lemon will release into the breasts.
Place sprig of rosemary into the chicken/turkey.

Cover and bake for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continue to roast
until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes. If you've followed these steps correctly,
your chicken/turkey should look like the one in the picture.
