Mornin' everyone!

"It's a beautiful day in the Neighborhood, a beautiful day for a....."  Sorry, just being sarcastic again!  It is a dull, damp, chilly drizzly day outside in the Finger Lakes today.  I overslept (guess I needed it) this morning and didn't make it to church.  Have about two weeks of stuff to get done before I head to Ottawa, Canada for the Region Convention on Friday morning.  Currently a glorious 47°F outside with a high around 57°F sometime this afternoon. 

Might try to plant some snow peas if I have any in stock...  If not I will make a quick run to the farm store tomorrow for the seeds for this years garden.

Humus???..............  Hmmmmm....  Who is that?

 Reinhard, haven't found anything yet on National News online about it.  Will keep the incident and all the possible problems of it in the my prayers!

 Lion, thanks for getting the month's thread going. A good May Day to all around the world BTW.

A couple quotes from me to start the month:

“We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like.” ~ Dave Ramsey

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” ~ Fred Rogers

Have a great day!

We'll get there sooner or later!

CSX derailment in downtown Washington DC near the Rhode Island Ave Metro Station with multiple overturned cars and a possible hazmat situation.  No report of any injuries.  Prayers that nobody was injured or will be injured during the cleanup.

All the best.

Good morning all from the beautiful West Coast.

Up at 05juststartingtoseelightout to take the kid to the Skytrain. He is going in to Vancouver to do an 8K run in support of disabled sports. His goal was to raise $200.00 and as of this morning he was at $565.00. He's a great kid.

Managed to drag myself to the school yesterday and help work on getting ready to the fair next Saturday. Stopped by PWRS to pick up some MRR bits. Had a good yak session as there were a few guys in there picking up stuff. Got home to find chainsaw sitting on the patio table waiting for me. We had a massive double cherry blossom tree come down while I was at the school. The tree is a good 35 feet tall and is/was full off blossoms. It was a beautiful warm sunny day with not a wisp of wind and the whole thing just collapsed. Its innards were rotten, I am surprised it was so full of blossoms.

To the back patio with a cuppa and my guitar if I can play it, my hands are really swollen after yesterday. I think it is a total deadbeat day for me today. (ya right)Sleep

Good morning Lion, I couldn't resist, I just had to stop in for a sticky bun, and an ice cold glass of choclate milk.  I haven't been in the diner in a long time.

I just visited Richardton, via Google Maps, and I toured the Abbey, via the web site.

I have driven past on I-94 while enroute to Montana.  My kind of small town.

Where is the Halliburton facilities located?

Mike.

I thought it was a good idea to redo the quotes and word of the day again. Since I know Humus missed it.

Thanks for moving the Diner to the May 2016 location, Lion!

I am so indulged in that planning job, I did not notice that we are already into the month of May! Even posted in the April edition a few minutes ago!

Duh - I must be getting order!

Happy New Month.  A cup of coffee to start off on the right foot.

Lion - thanks for opening the diner.  The Sticky Buns sound good.  Seeing the doctor tomorrow to see what my results are.  I enjoy the pictures of your subway system because they bring back memories of the old neighborhood.  Any news when the MTH subway cars are to arrive?

YGW - Got your PM and will join the regional as well.  Will let you know.  Looks like the rainy weather will stay around our parts for the rest of the week.  Visiting the NOAA open house today near IAD and participating in the Storm Spotter class at 14:00.  Should be interesting.

Greetings to the rest of the gang.

All the best.

LION moved the Diner to Richardto, North Dakota, to the tracks of the Halliburton Fracking Sand Depot. It shoud open for its first test train later this month... Should be Fun...

Even So The Diner has lots of steaks, burgers, spaghetty, and of course Sticky Buns. Todays Sticky Buns have Raspberry Filling with Walnuts.

JEFFREY'S TRACKSIDE DINER - MAY 2016
Posted by BroadwayLion on Sunday, May 1, 2016 9:09 AM

In memory of

Jeffrey Scott Wimberly

July 7, 1960- December 15, 2014

AKA Running Bear

Volunteer firefighter, model railroader, and dear friend to many. 

Jeffrey's Trackside Diner was formerly Elliot's Trackside Diner. It was renamed with new management to honor our friend.

Jeffrey's Trackside Diner is a meeting place for all who wish to join. We may talk on & off topic within the MR forum policy. Talk about ongoing or future model railroading projects, or simply share your day.

Beware of extreme off topics when blowing off steam. Surprisingly political, religion, and rude language. One man can crash it when it violates the rules of the house... Cousin Vinnie or his younger counterpart Steven.

This establishment is opened 24/7 for anything you desire to eat. The staff includes Janie, the twins Chloe & Zoe, Flo, Daisy, and Brunhilda.

Enjoy your stay.
