Some how I accidentally posted the same post twice!?

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
Evening diners,
Busy day, went to church, went to the local drive in for lunch, went to Home Depot, got some fence boards, went to an estate sale, bought some furniture for when I move out of the house, put the fence boards up, two and a half sections, did some yard work, mowed the grass, trimmed a few limbs, and now I'm going to go in for the day.
Tomorrow I have to drive and rain is in the forecast!
Eveing Diners
Flo, give the gang and I a and Ulrich, Rick and Steven what they like.
Ulrich Thank You for moving the dinner and I as well like the site. Wonder how far we are from Caboose Hobby Shop?

I hate Rust
SeeYou190The first meal I prepared in my new kitchen was Ramen Noodles! .
Yes , but the "Point" is .... you cooked it yourself, in your new kitchen.
It could have been worse .... you could have just ordered from Pizza Hut.
Rust...... It's a good thing !
Heartland Division CB&QKevin ... The kitchen looks great. Have you prepared breakfast yet?
.
This is awful of me...

Living the dream.
Good Canada Day Diners! We are having (at last) warm weather for the celebrations here in Nova Scotia.
Kevin, that kitchen is indeed something of which to be proud. Very impressed.

I see you do some tedious, fine detail microsurgery too.
and closer up
then there was a modern sanding system which is made by Dynamic Air. I thought it would look different on the layout and since it didn't sell, it's been rehabilitated on the new layout
and
Lobster this evening, with Chibata bread and a salad; with strawberries from the garden and ice cream for dessert. So we have a more-or-less Red and White theme going through the day (wore my Canada Day tie to church which was fun) Better go get changed from gardening clothes for dinner eh!

Good morning .....

Ulrich .... Thanks for moving the Diner..... Colorado is a good idea. ....
I just looked at the Durango and Silverton website. They have resumed operations following the devasttning wildfire. They will use diesel power for now.
It's not a good year to ride the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. It will be shutdown for the 2018 season for major repairs.
The Georgetown Loop Railroad is operating which is very nice.
In past years, I have been on all three of those.
I model the Burlington Railroad which had extensive operations in Colorado.
The Denver Zephyr was a great way to get to Denver, CO from Chicago, IL. ... Photo in Illinois of DZ headed to Denver.
The fox was back on the deck. I can tell by the poop he deposited. Not happy with that.
Dave .... You were asking if we are in the country. .... Yes, we are in the country, and are located on a large man-made lake. It is the Cumberland River with a dam to make the lake. The nearest town is 12 miles away with a population of 2600. There are two larger towns if we drive 30 or 40 miles.
Here is a view from our property to the lake. You can see a tow boat pushing barges in the distance. The Cumberland River flows from eastern Kentucky through Nashville, TN, and connects with the Ohio River in Western Kentucky.

Good Morning!
Moving the Diner made me hungry! It´s sunday - time for my wholesome, unhealthy, high-cholesterol, greasy but tasty breakfast of scrambled eggs, fried bacon, buttered toast & jams, a stack of pancakes w/maple syrup, OJ and coffee in an IV bag, as I did not get much sleep last night! Thank you, Brunhilda!
Kevin - that´s a nice looking kitchen and an excellent job you have done! When we moved into our apartment, the kitchen furniture was falling apart, the refridgerator had died of old age and the range was covered in grease and dust, yet the landlord thought it was still OK. I made him rip it out and I put a new one in - at my expense, which ate up whatever money we had left at that time. In Germany, apartments usually do not come with a furnished kitchen and it is up to the tenenat to take care of that. When we eventually move out of this place, we will leave the kitchen furniture and appliance in the apartment. It just doesn´t make sense to take the stuff with us - after more than 10 years of service.
No plans for the day - only to stay afloat in this hot weather we have again!
Happy times!

SeeYou190THE KITCHEN REMODEL IS DONE! Yes, finally it is complete! .
That looks sharp Kevin! Good job!
We are starting a major renovation on Tuesday. We are having the wall taken out between the kitchen and the dining room. It is a supporting wall so that complicates things a bit. I won't be able to have a continuous ceiling as I had hoped. I am not doing the work. 15 years ago I would have done everything myself but, alas, no more. I had a hard time just taking down the drapes.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Hello diners... BIG NEWS:
THE KITCHEN REMODEL IS DONE! Yes, finally it is complete!
It came in on budget, but 3 months late.
Next phase is the guest bathroom and guest bedroom. That will be followed by the Master Bedroom Suite, and then the trainroom. Somewhere along the way we need new windows, a garage door, and paint.
After all that, the STRATTON & GILLETTE will be under construction.
Happy July!
Thanks, Ulrich! Good choice
hon30critterColorado sounds good to me.
I agree, although, at least until 12 July, we will have to rely on internal combustion power...

I was fortunate to ride the line in 1966 and again in '68. There was still a lot of dual-gauge and narrow gauge trackage still visible back then.
Here is a screen-capture of a smiling Ed, keeping the flagman company on the last car, from an 8mm film taken fifty years ago.

Happy Canada Day, Friends!

Uh Ulrich?!? You are 10 minutes early!!!
Thanks for opening the diner!
Colorado sounds good to me.

Each month, the Diner will be parked in a different location at places all over the world. This month, the Diner is located in
- well, no particular location has yet been chosen, so Vinnie and his staff are still open for suggestions! Mine would be Colorado, hoping that the Durango & Silverton RR has commenced steam services to Silverton! I went on this trip in 1974, when the line was still operated by the D&RGW, but don´t mind reliving that wonderful experience!
At the begiining of each month, it is also the time to pay our respect to friends no longer with us
