Getting back in here, and posting the lunch menu right on time. For lunch and supper today, Mutt has requested the following:
1. Corn beef w/cabbage and,
2. Roast beef, taters carrots and onion, along with cabbage and cole slaw (for anyone who doesn't like or can't tolerate boiled cabbage), green beans, and broccoli and brussels sprouts.
I have gotten TWO birthday cakes for him. One is chocolate cake, to share with everyone in the diner, and his favorite cake, Angel food cake w/cherry icing. And believe me, he'll share the Angel Food cake, too!!
Ray, hope you feel better soon!

willy glad to see you in here.how are the studies going for you??? we have snow flurries this morning.thanks for breakfast.got to go fill the bird feeders.
School is going fine. I've got straight A(s) and plan on keeping those A(s) right through the end of the semester. It's hard to believe that there are only 24 school days left before Christmas vacation.
No snow here yet. It looks like some cold air and maybe some snow could get here about two weeks from now. No guarantees, though.

B-day is/has been going just fine, hopefully I'll have a few pics. to prove that the
viaduct there in Defiance isn't the only one that eats trucks! The "Girls" took me out
railfanning and about the first thing we saw was a semi-trailer with an airconditioned
trailer roof, with NS train stopped on the overpass and another one going the other direction.
Mookie, when you had the Space Shuttle fly over the house yesterday and you said
they were dropping presents and cake, I didn't realize that there were going to be
"Paw Prints" on said items!
Everyone, thanks for making it another memorable day; to me that really means a lot,
and the fact that I Have Made It Another Day!
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!!
Hey did I hear someone mention Chocolate cake?? I WANT SOME!! hehehe
Well it most certailly has been quite a while since I last been here in the dinner, it seems to me as if another one was started.........I guess the other one got too big.=> That's what happens when good food is served
to Locomutt, may many more come to you!
I along w/ Cherokee Woman, and Mutt had an interesting afternoon today. For Mutt's B-day CW and I decided to get together and take LM Railfaning. Well, little did we expect to run into this!!
It seems to me NS needs to repaint the Low Clearance words on the bridge. There are also no low clearance warning signs posted around the bridge.
This incident happened on 22nd Street underpass on the NS ex K&IT trackage, in Louisville, KY.
Mutt's got some more shots
.....Nice clear photos of the truck incident. Wouldn't that give a driver a shock...!
Having practically no warning, I wonder who might be charged with the cost of repair...{To the rig}....?

Dan
Here are a few more of the trailer "incident" that I took, along with a couple of shots
taken out at CSX's Osborn Yard.

Dan, guess you did notice the persons on the overpass, apparently they were there to
inspect the bridge. While we were there, another train passed in the opposite direction
at allowable track speed.
....That really is a low clearance underpass....The exhaust pipes of the wrecker barely cleared under that overpass. Looks like the trailer was empty so not too much force went into the bridge from that light material trailer....Train on the bridge was a bit of insurance to hold it "in place" from the impact too....
I'll bet the "low clearance sign" gets new paint.

I'm not sure I would really like to put a wager on that one. That Street/road is a
state highway and they are not noted for doing things like that in a city area.
(they think the city should do it, and the city thinks the state should do it)
(with the recent election, and change in political parties............anybody's guess?!?!)
[and that overpass is not the one that gets hit at least monthly, this particular one
actually rarely gets it.]
wow another bridge that acts like a can opener.our viaduct has the height posted on both sides plus signs along the road on both approaches to the viaduct.juice,coffee and rolls and beagles are ready for today.and hey its friday!!!!
Good Friday morning to all!! Yeah, it's Friday, and I know everyone is glad to see it get here! Joe, thanks for getting breakfast ready! Guess I was really tired, afer being out yesterday afternoon, cause I didn't even wake up until 7:45. I want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for helping to make Mutt's birthday such a great one for him!
Looks like we're going to have a little bit warmer day, and I hope most of you have as good a day, where you are, with plenty of sunshine! Take care, everyone, and I'll see you all back in here for our Friday Fish Fry in a few hours.
Good morning everyone.
(Grabs big mug of coffee and hot rolls)
OUCH on that low-clearance bridge accident! Here in California, any bridge with clearance under fifteen feet six inches must post warning signs approaching the bridge and on the bridge itself.
Missed 'Muts B'Day! Happy Belated!
Sitting here in the airport waiting for our plane to arrive (it's late). We'll be late leaving here, but I have a LONG layover at JFK, so no pain for the moment.
Caught a crew change on NS last night in Lynchburg. Nothing spectacular, but a switch job did manage to put themselves between me and the train changing crews - and wouldn't you know they had a bunch of wood chip cars - completely blocked my view of the three GE's on the point...
Back to surfing...

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Cannonball, good to see you in!! Hope you and Shirl have a great weekend. Larry, I don't envy you having a delay in airports. Been there, twice, at least. First time was back in 1979, going to visit my brother in New Mexico: had delays in Dallas/Ft. Worth, and again in Amarillo, both going to New Mexico, and returning home to Louisville. Second time was in 1987, got delayed for a couple of hours, at least, in Pittsburg airport, waiting to join Mutt in Newport News, VA. Definitely no fun, sitting around in an airport. Unless there's plenty of people towatch. Then, it does it slightly boring after awhile.
Running late getting the FRIDAY FISH FRY under way. But, better late than never, right? Everything is on the warmer bar: fish, fries, hushpuppies, corn on the cob. Salads and cole slaw, and desserts are in the cooler behind the counter.
Those of you who'll be gone for the weekend, have a happy, and safe weekend. Please come back safely on Monday morning!
//sprints inFISH! Gotta fly...//wolfs down 1 lb of haddock and sprints out
cw thanks for the fish fry.going to lima tonight to see if our local team can advance in the playoffs.we will be going under the old B&O and over the D T& I.(csx and I&O).I have plenty of layers to keep the chill away.
Quentin, just now noticed your avatar!! I like, very much!
I've got the next round of fish, fries, hushpuppies, and corn on the cob on, preparing for supper tonight. Everything will be on the warmer bar at 6:00. Plenty of cole slaw in the cooler, along with pies and cakes.
Joe, Hope you team advances! And also hope everyone else around here has a good evening.
Morning all! Got the breakfast burritos and fajitas hot and ready along with spicy hashbrowns and potato rounds. Coffee should be done soon and then all should be set.
Going to see the SOO Line 1003 today in Ripon. I'm excites as I haven't seen a steam engine since the CNW's 1385 ran through Oshkosh in the late 80's. I will post pics and maybe video later.
good morning
well the the other team won last night.they get to face patrick henry(hamler) next weekend.Everyone just bundled up together in the stands.juice coffee and rolls are ready to go for today.we'll be back later for pizza tonight.
Good Saturday morning to all. See no one came in last night. Had to throw everything out, and clean up before I could get started for today.
Coffee is dripping in the automatic coffee maker, fresh juice has been fixed, and getting breakfast underway. There's also hot chocolate and hot water for tea.
For Saturday Brunch, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy, country fried ham w/red-eye gravy, pancakes, waffles, bear claws, danish, doughnuts, and fresh fruit: cantaloupe, pineapple, watermelon, mushmelon.
Know it's going to be a busy Saturday for a lot of you, running errands, doing things around the yard & house, along with doing some railfanning, and whatever else you've got to do today. Just be careful out there, and come back safely this evening.
LMAO 3 of us in the kitchen and we missed each other again...we must begin to be careful!
CW I tried to get in last night for some fish but I apparently couldn't cross the street because of the 403 construction crew...or something like that...either way I couldn't get in here.

Dan, guess you and Joe can't see me, because I'm only 4' 6" in height!! Yeah, we do need to be more careful in here!! You are o.k., regarding not being able to get in here last night, along with Joe, who was at the game. But where were are other patrons?!?!
Since I couldn't get in here last night I went shopping for my fiancee's wedding band. Lots of folks were out...maybe that's where they went/were.
....Good morning all: Sun is shining in {on my computer screen}, but it's welcome. It's frosty this morning. But we're to see a pretty nice day in the mid 50's.
Paula...That pic for the avatar was snapped at a very unusual place.
Over in Johnstown, Pa., at the top of the Incline Plane in their restaurant. We're sitting in the restaurant and the window next to me has a view just about straight down 700 - 800' to the downtown of Johnstown.
I'll send you a pic. of the view looking down from that vantage spot.
Good morning everyone. It's a beautiful day in Northeast Georgia. There is a parked NS MOW train over in town with SD70M-2 #2727 on the point. I took a few pics of it I'll try to get them up in a few days.

It's been a cool day today with a slight chance of rain. Don't forget to raise the American flag Monday for Veterans Day!
By the way, do you know some radio stations are playing Christmas music NOW?. It's just so ridiculously tacky and frankly, I don't listen to Christmas music until Thanksgiving week, for obvious reasons!
