CNCharlieMike, of course I've had gravy,
OK, I figured. The only gravy I've had is the turkey, or with chicken.
My wife's half brothers and sisters in KC MO, have that suasage and biscuit thing all the time. I've always passed, myself.
Wifey and I are not usually gravy eaters.
So, Utah next month? Seems like people go crazy over the big boy steam loco. I've seen the one the Railroad Museum in Green Bay, WI has. It's inside, and it's hard to get an overhaul view of it's size.

Mike, of course I've had gravy, just not white stuff made with sausages and poured over biscuits. Not something you will find on this side of the border. Mind you we do have poutine which is cheese curds on french fries with gravy preferably chicken gravy but the beef kind works too. I have it about once every 5 years as I can't imagine what my arteries would say.

howmusI still hate tomato juice! Just lost my appitite!!!!
As a kid when my parents took me out to dinner and had their Manhattan's I got a glass of tomato juice. That accounts for 90% of my lifetime tomato juice consumption, tho' I don't dislike it. I used to give it to my dog, whose urine was like Round Up. It helped. Bloody Mary's invariably give me heartburn.
Sausage gravy - never got past the white color. It's a roux = grease and flour. Pass.
Utah is a beautiful state. I have only seen ski country, but there are many parks in the southern part of the state I would like to see.

Hmmm... new month on Wednesday... where are we going?
I had the understanding that we would visit Utah and join in the festivities of the Golden Spike Sesquicentennial ceremony. Perhaps take a ride behind the Big Boy?
These fellas seem to know a thing or two about celebrations:

Subject to committee approval, of course.

Track fiddlerThe best Bloody I've ever had.
I'm not doubting that the Bloody Mary was good TF, but I have never had a Bloody Mary at a bar that was particularly good. We make ours with Clamato Juice (Bloody Caesar to be more accurate) and gin (lots of gin), plus 32 squirts of Frank's Hot Sauce and 8 squirts of Worcestershire in a 16 oz beer glass. The gin adds a nice tartness.
Yes, that's right - 32 squirts of hot sauce. Frank's Hot Sauce is actually pretty tame compared to most. It is deliciously spicy but not burning hot. Keep a napkin handy. The Frank's turns your upper lip bright orange.

CNCharlie OK Steven, what is that white stuff on the biscuits between the bacon? Sorry but it doesn't look very appatizing to me. CN Charlie
OK Steven, what is that white stuff on the biscuits between the bacon? Sorry but it doesn't look very appatizing to me.
I'm a big fan of biscuits and (gravy)... when it's done right, buttermilk. I only wish I woke up to that this morning.
Good Morning all. My head hurts a little this morning. Monday is always Judy and my day off together. We may have had one too many night cappers last night, or four The coffee didn't quite cut it this morning.
Judy always likes to treat us to a really nice lunch every Monday. She likes to try new places for good food.
We are going to a new place called Whiskey Inferno in Prior Lake. I have heard their food is phenomenal. Lunch and a bloody sounds good.
The reviews say their ribs fall off the bone. Their beer can chicken is brought out whole stood up on a rack
My mouth is starting to water just talkin about it. Getting ready to get my grub on

So you've never had gravy before CN? Like on mashed potatoes? Turkey and gravy? Hot beef and gravy?
As Steve O said, rain here today, on and off for most of the week, Better than the white stuff ( I don't mean gravy!)
Gives me more modeling time.
Thanks for the explanation of the 'white stuff'. I think it might be something like Maramite. An aquired taste.
I'm top of page so lots of 'white stuff' for those so inclined and some Maramite on toast for the really adventurous.

That makes sense. With as many community members as you have, keeping check-ups on-site is definitely more convenient.
I was under the impression you were showing a well-organized workstation, which it was. I was thinking this because I remember you once showed the electric panels on the Subway Layout, that flipped up for easy access.
They were very impressive. Again well-organized, wired very neatly, straight and numbered. I pretty much assumed that's the way you are with everything
Speaking of wine. I have heard of this. Is it true you all sample each batch?
Charlie, biscuits in sausage gravy is a southern delicacy, you must try it sometime!
Steve
If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
That's the best part of the breakfast -- spicey, salty sausage gravy that is probably not good for your health, but is worth it for the taste.

BATMAN It is a good day! The last Royal Hudson container has left the factory. And it is time to go get the kid!

Is that container the kid's luggage?
But seriously, folks... Another Monday morning. Breakfast is on me. It snowed Saturday, now it's raining, and I doubt I'm the only one who needs a hearty breakfast to get going.
Good Morning,
Good grief there is some white stuff falling from the sky this morning. Maybe I'll run a train which would be different as I haven't done so since Christmas.
Very exciting all these new locos coming. None for me though as I definitely blew the budget on the big trip. That helicopter ride over Victoria Falls cost $300 for the two of us but it was worth it.
We flew on Turkish Airlines because the tickets cost less and it has a reputation as a great airline. They fly every day out of Toronto to Istanbul. Anyway I have to say that the food was the best we've had on an airplane and the service was great. Both legs of the trip over and then back were 10 hours flying which means 12 hours on the plane by the time everyone gets on board, a total of 24 hours flying just to get to Johannesburg. Oh and another 2 to get to Toronto from Winnipeg. Due to the distance and my wife's bad back we fly business class because of the space and your seat makes up into a flat bed. They actually have 2 chefs on the plane in full chef outfits. The pre-meal appitizers are served from a trolley and you get a choice of about 8 different ones or you can have some of each if you want. My wife wasn't sure which main course she wanted so they brought her both.
That was the last trip we will be taking to Africa. It just costs too much and I think I'm getting too old for the stress of such a long trip, dealing with large airports, luggage, packing, not to mention finding someone to look after Robbie.
Not going anywhere today. We still are unpacking and washing clothes. Yes we do take a lot of clothes but some is necessity as you need different clothes out in the bush vs. what you need in a city and that goes double for a woman. My wife's suitcase weighed 62 pounds. They put a ' caution- heavy' tag on it. I could barely get it off the carousel and onto a cart.
I have to see the travel agent this week to get all the info together to file an insurance claim for the accident I had. It has basically all healed up now. I will be able to claim the actual medical costs and the cost for a lost day of safari.
Time to do something.
NWP SWPGot back from Jazz Fest, and it was AWESOME,
Steven, I used to live in New Orleans, and I attended Jazz Fest, too. I'm sure things have changed, the last Fest I attended was in 1984 or 1985. I We moved away from NO when my daughters were ready for high school, but we still get back every so often to visit relatives.
York1Is it completely yours, or do any other monks work on it with you?
Monks don't own anything. It is the Abbey's Subway : )
But Im the only one who builds it. But they love showing it off.

gmpullmanHey Brent! You can just meet the boat in Prince Rupert and save a few days
Sure! go for it! I'm sure the officials or CN won't mind if you rummage through the container and look for yours!
Maybe they'll even help! I'm sure they'll understand!
What a scene that would be! Jason should be there, filming it to show it in fast motion for an ad.

Hey!!!
Got back from Jazz Fest, and it was AWESOME, Bleachers did not disappoint in the least, heres two quick snippets of my favorite song.
The weird thing is I really haven't had a loss experience such as losing a loved one but this song just really resonates with me.
Had some girl come up to me asking me bleachers questions, she hung around for two songs and right I as was about to ask her name she walks off... oh well!
Well later guys.
