Good evening everyone. (grabs bowl of beef stew and cornbread )
That does it--I'm getting a DVD burner drive. I just backed up files on my hard drive today and it took 20 CD-R's and over two hours' work just to do the backup.
Consider getting an external hard drive. USB connection, upwards of 300Gb. You can set it up for regular backups.

Good Tuesday morning to one and all! Rain hasn't started in our area yet, but it's to the west and southwest of us. Just what I need on PRODUCE TUESDAY. At least the thundershowers aren't supposed to arrive until later on today.
Coffee has just finished brewing, and there's hot chocolate and hot tea available.
On the warmer bar this morning: muffins (blueberry, chocolate, and bran), turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, cantaloupe chunks, bagels, bear claws, hash browns, biscuits, sausage gravy, country-fried ham & red-eye gravy. Should be a little something for everyone.
I pulled a "Mookie" last night: was so tired, I went to bed at 8 p.m., and slept until 5:15 this morning. Guess I needed the nine hours sleep! Will be back in after Produce is over, and will get started on our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta.

Well by the rain holding off CW you have time to get your umbrella/galoshes ready. I'll grab a plate with a bit of everything this morning. I feel like grazing...
Yesterday I submitted applications to be a volunteer at two RR museums. Mid Continent at North Freedom and the National Railway Museum in Green Bay. We'll see what transpires.

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").
OK - I finally have something on my mind that will keep it from blowing away!
Our local news!
If there is ever a train story (derail, accident, whatever) they show a still picture of a NS engine behind the news person. This is a BNSF town and while I love NS as a step-child, why would you use an eastern railroad picture on a BNSF home.
Last nite, they had a natural gas leak in an apartment complex. Someone got excited on a backhoe with predictible results. So the video showed the area (north end of UNL campus and fairly close to the main line for the BNSF), the nominal viewing of the firetrucks blocking off streets around the leak and a quick flash of a tanker car, all by itself in the general square mile area - probably parked on a holding track.
Sigh....
They just finally got a proofreader for their misspelled words in the crawl at the bottom and now this.
I think hot tea and a cool cloth will be all for me this morning.
Moo......

Welcome back, Mookie!!!! Good to see you back in, in the morning! Rain had started, before I went out of the house at 7:55 this morning. Now, it has stopped, at least for now. They didn't bring a lot, produce-wise today; cabbage (which I have plenty of, right now), potatoes, and carrot sticks. That was it.
Our TUESDAY MEXICAN FIESTA is now under way. On the warmer bar, you have: tacos, beef burritos, beef & bean burritos, quasadillas, tamales, Spanish rice, and everything else I can think of, Mexican, including desserts. And let's see, looks like there's plenty of Joe's pumpkin pie left, also.
Now that Produce is over, and I have lunch ready for you all, think I'm going to take a nap. Really feeling wiped out, with no energy left at the moment.
mookie
the horsey unit was visiting????? Cw thanks for supper.matt saw the csx commercial on the weather channel.they are putting the car onto an auto rack.matt said that looks like csx q 200.Also more words of wisdom from the newspaper.apparently you should not use a 12 guage shot gun to loosen the lugnuts off a car.you just can't make this stuff up.(southworth washington)
Yeah, this poor guy who used a shotgun to loosen that one stubborn lug nut is certainly a candidate for the "Bonehead" awards. He is fortunate that his injuries were not more extensive.

Good evening everyone. (Grabs one big beef & been burrito, some Spanish rice and a slice of pumpkin pie)
Speaking of which, I really miss the old Nathan P124 (P3) horns that I hear often on Southern Pacific locomotives. They've all been replaced by higher-pitched K3LA horns I hear on a lot of Union Pacific locomotives, unless it's the distinctive K5LA used on the SD70ACe's UP has been running a lot through Sacramento lately.
Hmm....spicy beef....

The trip down on Delta Connections was pretty uneventful (I have a new nickname for them- Comedy Air!); thanks to multiple delays, I spent nearly six very boring hours in the Cincinnati airport. Hopefully they won't need me all day tomorrow, and I can talk my travel partner into checking out the rail scene around here.
Sounds like fun! What's down there-CN and...UP/BNSF?
I'll get some bagels and juice out. I feel like snackin' plus I think I hear CW coming in soon. Don't want to spoil breakfast!
Joe - have seen several "horses" through here lately. Maybe doing some Xmas shopping? And their horns are very mellow - unlike the screech from the BNSF ones.
Have a new entertainment - they have now closed the main drag viaduct and provided two alternate routes - albeit - a little more out of the way. So the people that are trying the shortcuts end up in our watch area and they are learning to watch trains. Maybe I should hold some short seminars on what they are glaring at for sometimes up to 45 min.
And I am sending some greenies both east and south! BOL....
//....Cat having a bad hair/ er-um fur day? Into the windswept look?
Wind (30-60 MPH) and flying dirt all day yesterday working between Denver & Scottsbluff. Saw plenty of tumbleweeds heading east to Lincoln at a high rate of speed. I'd wave to Copcarss headed east to Chicago on Amthrax this morning, but I'm working on the next BNSF (old CB&Q) line to the north (Valley Sub.- about an inch of fine coal on top of the dirt on the R/W up here near the sugar factory. Anybody who thinks coal fines aren't a headache ought to see some of the fouled ballast up here.)
Good Wednesday morning to one and all! Still getting light rain around here. 40% chance of light rain, off and all all morning, and supposed to 'clear' sometime this afternoon.
Coffee has finished brewing, fresh juices are ready in the cooler, and got hot water for tea and cocoa. On the warmer bar, you'll find: turkey bacon, sausage links and patties, hash browns, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, blueberry muffins, bagels, bear claws, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy.
For the last week, we have had the Extreme Makeover Home Edition here in town, building a brand new home for one of our "local celebrity Crusade for Children recipients, a now 19 year old, who was born without eyes, and unable to straighten his arms and legs. The show sent him and his family to London, England, and they will get to see their new home around 2 p.m. today. They also went to the University of Louisville, and redid the band's practice area, so his Dad can better push him around, in the band's formations. This young man plays the trumpet for the U of L band, and he performs and sings every year at the Crusade. (If anyone would like to check out his new home, you can go to: www.whas11.com and click on the link to see what's exactly been going on. This child, now man, even wrote a song, several years ago, to the tune of Wabash Cannonball, called Crusade Cannonball, and sings it every year the the WHAS Crusade for Children telethon here.
Guess that's about all my news this morning. Mutt is still under the weather. Whatever visus he contracted, has really hit him hard.
I come in grab a bear claw and juice and dreading today. Called my weekly torture session and this week they are introducing weight training into the mix GOD HELP ME. All week long I am told keep it in a sling immobile but for bathing and changing clothes then I have to use it sorry my arm does not work that way. 2 weeks till I get full use back then there is the rest of rehab to do.
warm but damp here this morning.waiting for a dryer day to go down into the old neighboorhood to help a former neighboor.alot of leaves are still on the trees down there.Hope mutt gets feeling better soon.hey did you hear about the truck driver who had a delivery in portland? well he was in washinton when he should have gone to Maine.
Good morning. We have a temperature of 39 degrees here in Sioux Falls, and it is supposed to warm up here to about 46 this afternoon. I have the day off and will spend some time just cleaning my house and putting things away where they belong. I got my gutters cleaned out yesterday afternoon and got my yard cleaned up for what I hope is the last time. My neighbor to the north of me has a huge maple tree, and hopefully it has dropped the last of it's leaves. Most of this old tree is actually sitting across my property line.
Maybe I will go do some train watching on the BNSF here later this afternoon.

Greetings from Carolina this lovely morning. 56 degrees and partly clear outside. Sorry to hear Mutt still has the miseries. I know what he is going through!!. CW, if you can come up with some red grape juice, I will be in shortly. As usual, looking for buttermilk pancakes to start the day right. Take care, all.
Tom

A contentious woman is like a constant dripping! (Solomon)
Tom, our temp here, at 11:37, is holding at 67 so far. Forecasted high today, mid to upper 60s. So we'll see what it actually gets to later on. I'll extend your wishes to Mutt. And grape juice (red, purple, white) are always around here, so help yourself. I've fixed you some buttermilk pancakes, so you can start your day!
For everyone on the east coast, I have fixed for lunch: beef pot roast w/taters, carrots & onion cooked together, green sweet peas, creamed corn, biscuits and/or cornbread (whichever you prefer), and for dessert, took out a freshly baked chocolate cake, and a couple of apple pies and pumpkin pies.
CW
thanks for supper tonight.did make it down to the old hood today.lots of leaves to clean up.got the gutters too while I was down there.meanwhile csx runs a train with a bnsf gp38-2 sd45 warbonnet and a sd40-2 .it also had a rail bending car on the end.hope mutt is on the mend cw.
Morning everyone. Believe it or not, it is 62 degrees here in Carolina this morning. No breakfast for me since I have to see the quack at 0945 and I shall have to subsist on diet Mountain Dew until I break out of there. About the only good thing going this morning is the fact that the receptionist is cute as a button and friendly to boot! That can cure a plethora of woes. Have a good day in RR country and see yall later.
Good Thursday morning, everyone! Our current temp is around 39, 40, and our high today isn't supposed to get above the upper 40s. Winds are out of the northwest, and could gust between 15 - 20 mph. Tom hope everything goes well for you today.
Coffee is on, juices are made, hot milk ready for hot chocolate, and hot water for tea.
On the warmer bar: everything for everyone. Bagels for Mookie, bear claws for Larry, sausage, sausage gravy, homemade biscuits, etc., Don't think I forgot anything, but I'm sure someone around here will let me know, if I did.
Will see you all later in the morning. Need to start planning today's meals. (Believe, if everyone agrees, we'll have pork chop abracadbra and our Thursday Pizza Fest. )
