One of these days, probably after I retire in nine years, I want to do what a fellow church member is currently doing and hit every tourist railroad in the country. When that happens, you'll be near the top of the list.

By golly, you're right! Old age....
You're more than welcome here (as is everyone else). Like I said, just make sure I know when you're coming so I can schedule myself accordingly.

No, Mookie. Any use of profanity in this forum would probably have gotten me into some trouble with the forum administrators. I know that I have stepped over the line a couple times with some things that I've said. I'm just trying to use a little caution while posting anything so that I don't end up having others upset with me, and so that I don't end up losing what ever respect they have for me.

Dan, are you sure this was a brown recluse? I've seen this thing before and it is not pretty. The female is what you need to stay away from. If given the choice of being bitten either by a black widow or brown recluse, I will take my chances with the black widow as the antidote for her venom is more readily available. Plus, I've seen pictures of what a bite from a brown recluse can do to one's skin, leaving open, ulcer like sores that are quite ugly. A friend of mine, Dr. Keith Perkins who teaches biology for the University of Sioux Falls, maintains a collection of spiders preserved in alcohol, and I should ask him if he has a specimen of brown recluse in his collection.
Not sure I'd want to be bitten by either the black widow or brown recluse! Be my luck, I'd be highly allergic to it.
Well, I've warmed up the leftovers from the lunch menu for supper, and it's back on the warmer bar. Went to the YMCA this afternoon, and went in the whirlpool. That really made my knee feel good.
Everyone have a nice evening, and enjoy your supper. Will come back in around 9, and clear the warmer bar, and clean up.
Well, the warmer bar has been emptied, and the food is now in the fridge. If anyone wants anything, just grab a plate, and your utensils, fill your plate, and zap it in the microwave. Now cleaning up the warmer bar, so it's ready for tomorrow morning.

Yep Ray, it was definately a Brown Recluse. We're a bit north of where they 'typically' are but they're not unheard of. It was identified at a distance and had a 18 lb cinderblock dropped on it. Further inspection showed a brown glob that was a spider.
CW I'll grab a warm plate of whatever you've got...HUNGRY AND COLD!
Dan
Dan, you and Jim Davis need to get together for ideas...maybe he could show Garfield
dropping a cinder block on a spider instead of using the fly swatter or rolled up newspaper.
And you'll have to help yourself from the warmer bar, not sure what's out and CW
has gone to physical therapy, and after that to a Drs. appointment.
Mook, if you hurry, you might be able to grab the beagle's leash and have that.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Celebrated my birthday yesterday and I am feeling considerably generous. So I will let you all have the second cake John baked for me. Had fun, even if it rained and it was cold. saw a movie, bought a new gadget,(iPod touch) and ate a huge steak dinner from Longhorn. Life can't get any better than that.
If I don't make it in tomorrow, happy Halloween. Those Snickers bars in the cabinet are calling my name but I can't touch them until after Halloween
Duff, Happy Belated Birthday and thanks for the cake! Enjoy the iPod and let me know what you think. I'm campaigning for one for Xmas.
Scooter
Duff, Happy Belated Birthday ; that's another one that wasn't on our
calendar, but will be now.
Don't have too much fun with the iPod, and forget to do other things!
evening
Duff happy belated birthday.matt has a halloween party tommorow at school.please don't whap him with a paper since hes going as spider man.got my container for work.
Well, I finally made it in today! After therapy, and doctor's office, I came home, took a pain pill, and went to bed for an hour and a half.
a day late Duff!! Sorry I didn't know yesterday was your birthday. We would have had a big ole party here in the Diner! And thanks for bringing in and sharing your birthday cake!
Who do I have to thank for putting out our TUESDAY MEXICAN FIESTA? Whomever did it, thank you so very much.
Therapy went well, and so did the doctor's appointment. He's very pleased with my progress, and I don't have to go back to him until after Christmas (Dec. 27th).
Crossed over several railroad tracks coming home this afternoon: only problem was, didn't see any trains Guess that's all my news for today, so everyone have a great evening, and take care!
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. Dan I don't usually listen to my iPOd with headphones, I usually plug it in to my boombox, or listen to it in the car. iTunes has a thing about being a memory hog so I don't run it while using my computer for other things.
Mutt, yeah, fortunately my iPod does have battery life, while I have to charge it back to life, I get to do other things around the house. Baby aways comes first though, have to put down the iPod, laptop, or magazine for her at all times, not that I have a problem with that.
Glad everyone enjoyed the cake, it was way too much of a good thing, and the first one is about 2/3 whole.
Think I will have me some enchiladas, with lots of salsa. With raspberry tea...mmmmm
BOOO! happy halloween everyone.matts off on the school bus.mamma is defrosting the fridge.hope people don't get spooked.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween. We don't have trick or treaters anymore, in our neighborhood. All the kids have grown up around here, and there's no longer any little ones.
Lance, thanks for putting the bagels out, and making the coffee. I've made some pancakes for breakfast, along with sausage and bacon, scrambled eggs. Even baked some cupcakes, and decorated them for you all. Put containers on the counter, with Halloween candy in them, so help yourselves.
You all have a safe day, and don't let anyone scare too much!!
Ed - we wish you well on your PT. - that is as close to a grimace as I can find!
MC - "come to me my little pretty. And bring your little dog too!"
Driver is going to treat the little people tonite! I will hide out upstairs and watch over the railing. They think he is funny - I think he is very handy!
BOO!!!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!
Mudchicken, hope Denver doesn't decorate their snow Black & Orange for Halloween,
I don't think those colors look good like that; hope you're not wearing an Asparagus
costume tonight, if so, don't go to Lincoln, Ne. expecting a Treat.
Mook,...........on the stairs, looking over driver's shoulders?, Hummm. Hope you have the
"Pumpkin Catapult" at the ready.
Ed, Hope your therapy does go well for you and you don't have a lot more physical pain.
I don't think all the Physical Therapists are Sadists, but from first hand reports, I might
have to agree.
Well, guess I'll have some "Ghost Toasties" and "Scrambooed eggs" for breakfast, and
go outside to the patio and watch some "Ghost Trains", and listen to some "Soul Train"!
Think I was on the go too much yesterday! I'm really tired, and my legs are aching BIG TIME! So, I don't think I'll do any of my exercises today: the therapist did say I can take one day a week, and not do any of them, so this will be the no-exercise day for me.
I do have the meals prepared for lunch and supper tonight: we'll make it the MID WEEK PIZZA FEST. On today's menu:
1. Anchovie2. Canadian bacon3. Cheese w/extra cheese4. Pepperoni/sausage/mushroom5. Hawaiian6. Supreme
There are 2 extra large pizzas of each of the six kinds of pizza, made up and on the warmer bar; later on, I'll fix three more of each kind, for supper tonight.
We need to get some of our people back in here. Everyone knows we can talk about anything, and everything along with Trains, so where are you all?!?!?!
Message From:The Cook
Glad to see you back around CW. I'll grab some 'za and sit for a while. I was going to dress as a CSX loco today for Halloween but then I figured I'd get in trouble if I lay around that much at work. You know-on my side, not working! LOL!
I'm getting excited for Trainfest on the 10th. But I just found out that my fiancee won't be able to make it. She has to work.
Our wedding plans are pretty well set. I accidentally found the perfect color that she was thinking of for the bridesmaid's dresses so that's one less thing we have to worry about. I don't think my idea of an AMTRAK honeymoon will fly either. That's expensive!
Lurking.

Dan, "Platinum Mist" sounds really good, but the blue should be C & O "Enchantment Blue".
Which CSX loco would you dress as?? SD40-2,ES44DC,AC6000, SD 70ACe, road slug,
Dash -7,-8,-9 ?
