Well, I made it back in. Had to go to the store, and get a few things, especially a couple of my prescriptions.
Here is our Memorial Day Cookout menu:
1. steaks, burgers, hot dogs, brats
2. Side dishes: baked beans, green beans, mac & cheese, corn on the cob, cole slaw, potato salad, red, white & blue decorations on another chocolate sheet cake.
There's plenty of iced tea (sweet and unsweet) and lemonade made up.
As others have said, remember why we are celebrating today, and if you happen to see a Veteran, please remember to give them a Thank You for Serving!
Afternoon everyone.....
Not too bad running today, until I got north of Columbus, then traffic and weather picked up. Had hail on I-271 at about noon or so, and made it to Austinburg, OH, about 10 minutes before the sky opened up. Bought a small fan that runs off the cigarette lighter plug to circulate air in sleeper, was working fine up until sun came out and it warmed back up again, may have to fire up truck and get it cooled down again.
Should be able to drop this in Weedsport yard tomorrow morning, then find something to get me homeward bound, have a cousin's wedding to go to Friday afternoon, then weekend off to recover. Should get some more work done on the layout again, may get close to having all track laid and wired by end of weekend if all goes well......
Remember: All gave some, some gave all.........

It was a busy weekend on the railroad - unfortunately more for the clean-up/fix-up stuff we did than the passengers (which equalled last's year's opening weekend, though. We actually annulled our last run on Monday - one couple showed up and we offered a free ride some other time, which they happily accepted.
I even got home early enough to mow the lawn (which really needed it, even if it hasn't rained).
On the way home I encountered a house fire that apparently started with a gas can in the attached garage. FD was there by the time I happened by and had the fire mostly out. Still, it looked like it pretty much gutted the house.

Tree , do you know which of the Chiefs had a small ( on the ground) event today between STL and CHG. this morn?? The last two cars went astray. No local news on the western front just a small blurb on HLN. Been busy outside all day, still no news at 6:00pm. MST.

nanaimo73Quentin, is this true?I heard Ford was going to stop making Mercurys.
Dale:
Perhaps you have seen the news by now.....If not, the report is Ford is reporting it will drop Mercury. It's amazing over the decades how many times that rumor was around....Finally, it seems to be true.
