Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").

She's done with going to PT, she just has to do the exercises at home now.
Don't think it qualifies her as a "Bionic Woman", (no Holiday Inn express) but she does
now have to carry a card stating that she has "Extra Metal" in her body, for if and when
she goes through metal detectors.
(and she has no plans for joining a "Heavy Metal Band"!!)(that I know of)
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!!
thanks for the pancakes.I'll get the juice out.well Tinora won on a last second field goal.so we will see who they get for next week.
Let's see, Joe has gotten the juice out, and Railfan1 has been cooking pancakes. That leaves me to fry some bacon and pork link sausages. I will also scramble a few eggs and throw some french toast on the grill while it is still hot. I am pretty hungry this morning!
I got out of bed at 6:00 CST this morning and we had a temperature of 24 degrees here in Sioux Falls. I've looked at the weather conditions in Louisville where Mutt and CW, and Sarah live, and it's a bit warmer there with 38 degrees. The longer we can keep snow at bay, the happier I will be, although I would like to see just a little bit for the photographic possibilities that it would present.

Ray, I was up before then, about 5;30 EDT.....when I went out to get our paper, the
indoor/outdoor thermometer was showing 35 degrees. The official NWS temp. is from
the airport, must have been all the "Hot Air" from the UPS' jet engines!
And quit talking about that four letter word!!
Think I'll have some pancakes, bacon, eggs and coffee before going train watching.
Frost on the ol' pumpkin here this morning - 18 overnight.
But 50's are forecast during the day.
Got some outdoor chores, so that's a good thing.
Time to get to work.
Don't forget to "Fall Back" tonight - and change the batteries in your smoke detectors.

....Morning temp here 38. Much sunshine now...blue skies. Projected to be near 60 this afternoon. But oh so dry.

We started off at 35 this morning, to get to 60 something this afternoon.Really good
day to do yard chores. (if you have too.)
What Larry said about the smoke detectors do it!! And if you have detectors that have
10 year batteries like we do, check the detector anyway!!
Don't forget to set the clocks Back an hour; better you wake up an hour early;
than Not At All!!
....edit.... CW did say that she would be in later to do menu for the Sat. Pizza Fest.
(when she gets done trainwatching!!)
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
CW isn't back from train watching yet, so I guess I'll put out the menu for tonight's
"Pizza Fest".
On the menu are:
ACL- Anchovie
Pennsylvania-Pepperoni
Chessie-Supreme
CSX-Extra cheese
GO Transit -Goetta
SAL-Sausage
Chef's Special: C & O, B & O, WM, L & N, and a few assorted others mixed in.
(no ingredients for N & W or Southern tonight.)
Remember that there are always a few others upon request.
(subject to cook's approval !)
Flying, driving, sitting at a desk is not fun.
[been there, done that, and thankfully I don't have that T-Shirt]
(Diamond Plate Desk? That has to be hard on papers you're signing or working with)

Been off the road for a couple years Epilepsy has a way of doing that to a OTR driver. However even my PT therapist can not keep me from thinking about all the pain I have endured from this shoulder considering the injuries are over 3 years old according to the doc. Called an abusive ex-wife and she hated me getting the care I needed my current one she islike if you need it get it done. Next step for me is the brain surgery that will fix the Epilepsy maybe if they can find the focal point.
well the train watching was great today.lots of action.csx put a squezze on some traffic with work on track 2 in defiance.will take some pizza please.yes check the detectors tonight when you set the clocks back.have some chores to help mamma with.
Ed, hope PT and other things go well for you. Just keep up the PT.
CW finally got back from train watching (and other things)
Accordingly, she didn't see a lot of trains, but found a LOT of bargains at the store(s)!
Joe, USPS brought us a very nice surprise, how many can we order?
(Three are looking good right now,(maybe more) liked the pictures.)
mutt
you are very welcome.thing is csx is throwing more surprises on the rails.their q380 had a Ferromex power on it.hope everyone has their clocks set back.
Good cool fall morning all. (about 38 here right now.)
I'll make sure the coffee is going because I can sure use a cup to warm up with.
Joe, haven't seen any really strange road names on units around here, we seem
to have the prerequisite local roads (CSX, NS, RJ Corman, P & L, L & I) and all the
leasing company units including a few UP ones. (yes Mook, every once in awhile there
is a BNSF unit on some of the trains) Will be very closely looking for a Ferromex unit on
the next sojourn out railfanning.
Set most of the clocks back last night before going down, but still don't think I
regained the "extra" hour of sleep! Woke up at usual "Body Time"!
Good Sunday morning! Think I've recuperated from my outings yesterday. Know I was dog-tired last night, when we finally got home, around 8 p.m. Mutt, thank you very much for fixing the pizzas last night! (Mutt did not get to see all purchases, because some are for his birthday coming up Thursday!)
We didn't many trains moving yesterday, but did see some trains during the week, while going to PT (but didn't see the engines, just the last of the trains).
Mutt, thanks for putting the coffee on! I've put milk on burner for hot chocolate, and there's hot water ready for our tea drinkers. On the warmer bar, you'll find sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, home fries, and bear claws.
For Sunday Dinner, there is going to be:
Meat loaf, w/mashed taters and gravy, shelly beans w/onion cooked with the beans, cream style corn, country fried pork chops, and homemade buttermilk biscuits and dinner rolls.
Hope everyone has a great morning, and you all take care and be safe out there today!!

Good morning everyone. (Grabs mug of hot tea and some bear claws)
I'm definitely come back later for the meat loaf, mashes potatoes and shelly beans!
By the way, they finally put in speed tables (essentially elongated speed bumps) on my street to slow down traffic. We've had way too many accidents in my neighorhood because there is a really sharp curve east of where I live, and I've had cars plow up into my front lawn twice in the last 15 years and a couple of cars crash into houses in the past two years!
good morning
cw thanks for breakfast.its time to get matt off to sunday school.would you save some sunday dinner for work for me tonight please??
Joe
I've been up for a little better than an hour and I forgot to set my clock and my watch back an hour before hitting the sack last night. My Clock reads 9:00 AM here when it is actually 8:00.
We have 37 degrees here in Sioux Falls, but it is supposed to warm up to about 65 by mid-afternoon. I kind of doubt that will happen. Tomorrow and Tuesday our maximum temp here will top out at 38 degrees. I guess I'll end up wearing a heavier jacket when I head for work tomorrow morning.
I baked bread yesterday afternoon, and I am about to pop a couple of slices of it into my toaster. Should be good with some strawberry jam. Any coffee left in the Diner??

We have a couple of them here in the city for about the same reason. And they are
seemingly working!! (we've not had anbody in the yard yet, but a couple of utility poles
across the street have taken a beating!)
(of course everybody complains about going over the "extra, hard bumps!)
Will take an extra cup of coffee so I can go back out to the patio and do some
more train watching. It is a bit chilly this morning.

My city put them in and also with a sign ("Reccomended speed 10 mph") nearby. Since it's not a law I keep going. I never did/do 'race' down the street but at the speed limit they don't do a thing...unless you count making me smile!
Uh Dan, try them in a Jeep with a body and suspension lift!!
Can anybody say close to orbit?!
City has tried, but..............
I can think of one or two downtown streets that need speed bumps: people from the suburbs come downtown, and hold "drag races" up and down a couple of streets. Haven't heard anything about them lately, so maybe the police did manage to put a STOP to them. And yeah, you really feel those bumps in the a Jeep with a body and suspension lift: big time!!
Joe, got containers ready for you and Lance for work tonight.
Good evening everyone.
(Grabs meatloaf with mashed potatoes and shelly beans )
One good thing about the speed tables just installed is no more cars zooming by my house at 50-60 mph! That also means no more loud cars, either.
Wow, what a great game between the Patriots and Colts today! I expect them to meet again in the AFC Championship Game because I really don't see any other team coming close to matching the Colts or Patriots for AFC supremacy.
Last night I was "in town," where one of the main streets is undergoing some major reconstruction. Absolutely tickled me to see a nice, big, fancy Chevy Suburban gingerly drive over a spot where they had paved the main road, but not the entrance to the parking lot, leaving about an inch and a half drop... I charged right on through.
