gmpullmanI wonder what kind of wine goes with that?
I'd go with a Wednesday Morning Red.

Good Morning. A black coffee and Marmite on toast please. I'd like to try it, by the way what is it?
Well... It was a fun weekend. I hope everyone else had a good one. Back to wxxk for me today At least it's an easy first day back, a screen door and a siding repair. I hope to be done by noon.

Like sausage, you want to enjoy it but not see how it's made. It is made from spent yeast from the beer making process.

Some folks believe it was originally made from the sludge at the bottom of the beer brewing vat once the beer was decanted. They're not far off.
I like it... occasionally. Vegemite runs a close second.
Cheers, Ed
Good Morning All,
Just a regular to go please. All that talk of vegemite and marmite have put me right off my feed. Just look at that poor woman hair above and she's only had one bite.
I had lots of SOS on offer when I was stationed at an Army base on Okinawa. The mess hall used to have a sign out front announcing how many days since the last fatality. The Air Force base at Misawa, Japan wasn't much better.
My son and I had a good weekend at Road Atlanta. We also ran the Audi R-8 LMP1 and a couple of Indy Lites for customers. Josh and I ran a pair of Lotus 18s' in the Formula Junior group and I finished second an third and he finished fourth both days. Josh led a couple of times but with a smaller motor he was a sitting duck on the straight.
This is from open practice. I have video once I get it edited.
All for now, I have to do some catching up in the shop. Toodles, J.R.
Yall can keep the vegemite......I can't get near the smell of it.
Howdy ....

Good Tuesday morning. It's still cool here, around 45 degrees, when I walk in the morning. With the wind blowing, I'm still wearing a hood and gloves.
Last summer we came home through northern Utah. Using I-80 from Nevada, we came through the salt flats of western Utah. What an amazing place - over 50 miles of a straight highway through bright white salt flats.
I didn't get to stop, but I wanted to see the open pit copper mine southwest of Salt Lake City again. I haven't seen it since I was a kid.
This summer, we will go back to Utah for a Five Day - Five National Parks trip. We need to make some reservations, we've heard the hotels there get booked up pretty early.
I know the UP train will not be going there, but wouldn't it be great to see the two locomotives cross the Great Salt Lake west of Odgen!
Another cloudy, rainy day here. Another great day to work on the layout.

Here's a last minute teaser for Ken (from another Ken!)
I've got a CHALLENGE for you, Ken.
You go ONE MONTH without a single cigarette and I'll get you a Reading T-1, of your choice, shipped to your front door.
Are you game???
Wow Ed, that's quite a challange, and your going on trust alone.
mbinsewiWow Ed, that's quite a challange, and your going on trust alone.
I've chatted with Ken at length, several times on the phone. Yep, I would trust him (but I would check with Sparkie to verify ).
The T-1 can smoke (or I guess that would be 'vape'?) but Ken can not!

Flo, give the gang and I a and leave a stein outside for Ulrich.
Ed Good to talk to you tonight. Far as the challenge if I do stop smoking it will not be for a T1 steam engine. But if I do, I will hold you to your word. While I told you on the phone I would lye to get the engine, well I would not lye to a freind or a customer.
I have had two cigarettes today and will try to stay under 3.
Later, Ken
