Elliot's Trackside Diner 26

[fireman216]

 Good morning!!...Coffee regular please in a NYC mug...I will have the engineer special...light on the grease...and some Italian toast please. Well...one more week on disability from my shoulder surgery..healing well...therapy sucks. That's only one more week of full time modeling!!!...I have to wait for the delivery guys to show up with the new furniture my wife ordered. I got a new shoulder...she got new furniture...I guess that's fair. They said between 0830-1130 for delivery. My luck I will head downstairs and get right in the middle of something and they will be here. So here I sit waiting...but in good company in the diner. Today will be just a nice cloudy day...maybe a dusting of snow. Still nursing a small hangover from Saturday night as our Syracuse basketball team put some SMACK on Villanova in the dome. I think we will see a #1 rank in the country after that!!! Be smart all you bracket players for March Madness. SU should be in your final 4 for sure...if not the final game. Just my Everyone have a good day!!!...Tim

Good morning all. Happy March the 1^st. Sorry I haven't had time to look for a card. Count down to the big anniversary of my birth has begun. The 18^th and I will be another year older. Odd, you age a year in one day. Strange species we are. Sure beats the alternative though.

Coffee please. I shall not mention the weather so as to not jinx it.

Today I must make the deposits and pay some bills at the Church. Then Pay the fish bill, order more fish for the 12^th, stop in at Wally-mart pick up some KILZ, then home to do some more clean up in the base-a-ment before going to w**k. My plans, yours may vary.

Joe-  I didn't expect anybody to really understand the colors thing. I've lived with it everyday my whole life and I don't even get it.

My boots smell like fish.

Ray- Yes, every day the old ticker ticks and I can breathe, is a good day.

Speaking of tickers, Barry, any news on your tests?

Hey, the headcount is a good idea Ulrich. Let's see of the top of my head I see Lee needs to be added, as well as this German fellow, can't think of his name right now, but I'm sure it will come to me.

HEY!!!!! I step outside for a second to set my boots on the platform, turn around and the diners heading down the tracks. I guess I won't wear the boots in here again until the smell is gone.

Have a Great Day!!!

EDIT: I guess chasing the diner down the tracks and grabbing the handrail and holding on for dear life wasn't the wisest thing to do for two reasons. One, the obvious safety reasons, and two, now I have to walk 25 miles back to the wilderness to get my truck!!!!!!

 As the mods shut down the old place It seemed a good time to open a new one.

 

Good morning. It's 46 and cloudy with rain imminent. The high will be 50 with a 90% chance of rain.

Gonna be a wet one today! And why not? This is the day I gotta go out and pay bills. Yesterday I put up four more of the solar Tiki torches. That's a total of eight now. On two of them I took out the factory installed NiCd batteries which are rated at 1.2 V, 600 mA and replaced them with Eveready NiMH batteries rated at 1.2 V, 230 mA. Just after sunset all eight lights came on as they should. Six ran down during the night and went out but the two with the NiMH batteries were still lit up at 6:45 this morning and didn't go off until sunrise. Take a wild guess at what kind of batteries are going into the others. I figure the NiCd batteries will work OK in my remotes, postal scale, LED tester and magnifier. Nothing much on the schedule today except paying some bills that can't be paid by mail or internet and I have to get the grocery shopping done before my cupboards look like those of Mrs Hubbard. I may be able to get some more weathering practice in today but it'll probably be late.
