Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a nice day today. Even though it's very hot around here. Like Willy said, it sure doesn't fee like autumn anywhere around here!
I'm sitting at the work station in the kitchen, making up the pizzas for tonight. Work on a couple of pizzas, then get up and walk a little bit, then come back, sit down, and work on two more. The pizzas will be ready at the normal time, 6:30 p.m. EDT. On tonight's menu:
Canadian bacon, cheese, goetta, Hawaiian, pepperoni/sausage/mushroom, and supreme. Three of each, same as always.
Hope you all enjoy the pizzas, and have a great evening.
Joe and Stacey, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!
Glad to have you back CW...
Joe and Stacy, Happy Anniversary and many returns. God bless both of you and your family.
It's warm up here...whew! Next year I wait until November to take the A/C out of the house!
CW, thank you much for making the pizzas for tonight! I think I will grab a few slices of the Canadian Bacon while I am in here.
To Joe and his bride: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! I hope that you will have many more happy years together, and may God richly bless your marriage.

Dan, Shouldn't that be clean the house and then make a run to the dump?!
Usually, that's what happens here.
(although, it must be the same everywhere, get rid of some things and then go buy other stuff to fill the empty places.)
I was able to get out of the house today, for a change, actually made it to the LHS for a few odds and ends. Saw a train or two, but didn't take camera this time.
Joe and Stacey, A VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!
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 anniversary wishes.we had a great time.juice and coffee are ready to go.we haven't heard of matt tying up grandma and grandpa yet.going to be 90 today(whew) then the front comes through tommorow night and highs in the 60's the rest of the week.
Walt you were correct. The order of appearance was like some of my coworkers productivity: totally random chance!
Caught a pair of UP SD70s last night in Neenah on a CN manifest SB. Nice break from black and red!
wooohooo it's birthday got any cake back there?
Now I can go to the hobby shop
Good Afternoon!
My visit with Mookie Saturday was excellent. BNSF put on an amazing show with 15 trains (including two light engine moves and a Loram Rail Grinder) in 2.5 hours. At one point there were three trains moving and a fourth waiting to get a green signal at once. Not too bad of a day.
Also, I found out on Thursday that I qualify for the National Honors Society which focuses on high school juniors and seniors with excellent grades and service work. The induction ceremony is in two weeks, so I'll have to get all dressed up for it... ugh.
That's all my news for today. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Big90mack, I'm guessing you mean your birthday?! and welcome. I'll get you a piece of cake, and we'll go out on the Patio for the celebration. We can't light candles on cakes in here;
because the Fire Supression system is so sensitive that a single candle will set off the sprinkler system. (we need to get the bimetallic strips changed so they don't melt at
such a low temp, just set off the smoke detectors.)
Hope you have a good trip to the Hobby Shop, find something for one of our layouts here in the Coffee Shop.(Z, N, HO, S, O (both 2 & 3 rail) G scales) (and if you can find a wayward something, 1 to 1 scale!!)

willy good Job!!! they must have got mookies note.matts back home and resting from G+G house.will make some popcorn for the football game tonight.
An anniversary! Cool. Keep up the good work.
Three days in a row (so far) on the railroad. Over 500 "leaf peepers" each day - with the attendant chaos.
Back down there tomorrow.

Tree - how apropos - I feel like I just fell out of one.
Busy weekend - very warm on Sat, but enjoyed Willy and Mom visiting the watch site. BNSF was admirable once again. They seem to know when company is coming and they put on quite a show. Willy was even about an hour late, so they waited for him to arrive. Such nice people - on both sides!
Went trackside yesterday and went from 80 degrees to 60 during a good gust of wind. Then rained all night and quit just before departure time this morning. All headed east, so enjoy.
Had to call several nice young men in Fort Worth this morning. We spotted a badly bent track on one of the south tracks in and out of the yard. It is just past a switch point and really makes the loaded coal cars rock and roll. It is only a few feet from where the 4 loaded coal cars derailed a few months ago. They just finally got that mess cleaned up a month or so ago - and don't want another mess. I imagine when we go by there tonite, they will have someone pushing a few rocks around. Bet the around 1 inch of rain overnite didn't help it either!
Congrats Willy!!! I am so proud!
Off to find coffee....
Mook
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
mookie here is your coffee.happy columbus day today .got some chores to do and matt has a dentist appointment today.going to be another warm one here today then highs in the 50s later this week.
Good morning folks! I've got the coffee brewing and I've mixed a fresh batch of orange juice. There is also hot chocolate out on the counter for anyone who might want it.
I am serving sort of a continental breakfast this morning, with a big assortment of rolls and donuts from the local bakery.
It's 48 degrees here in my hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and it has been raining here off and on for the last several hours. We had pretty good thunderstorm late yesterday afternoon.
Last night I was looking at the web site of the Royal Canadian Pacific. I am considering putting away money in a savings account so that maybe in a few years I can book a week long rail tour with the Royal Canadian Pacific out of Calgary. I think the Canadian Rockies are every bit as pretty and majestic as the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and a trip like this would give me something to look forward to, even if I must wait a few years.
Thanksgiving up here in Canada.
If anyone wants to have turkey,ham and all that good stuff you are welcome
to join.
Yeah, I think it would be fun to spend Thanksgiving up in Canada, for me that would be a little different than what is considered the norm in my family. I had been up to Calgary, Alberta in July of 1979 for a convention with the National Model Railroad Association, and I found the Canadian people to be so warm, friendly and hospitable that I have always been looking for an excuse to go back. And maybe I will do so in a few years with a rail tour of some sort.
Good Monday morning, everyone! Nice outside right now, but looking for a high of 94 today. yuck!
Happy Birthday Big90Mack, and welcome back!
For your lunch today, you find open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters & gravy, green beans, corn, and your choice of garden salad or cole slaw, along with tuna salad sandwiches and your choice of fries or onion rings. Still keeping things on the light side (at least as far as fixing food goes for me, right now).
Along with coffee, got plenty of iced tea, lemonade, fruit punch and Gatorade ready and in the cooler and fridge for everyone.
Happy thanksgiving day Canada!!! back to work tonight.Cw will need my container for work please.matt went to the dentist and his baby tooth popped out.wonder how much you get for a tooth these days?is it covered under an hmo plan somewhere???
I don't think "Tooth Fairies" are covered by HMOs, but if they are, bet you'd still have
to pay the deductable!!
SactoGuy188 I remember the ( beanery) very well in Washington Courthouse Ohio . It was called Railroad Cafe , right off the ROW on Rt.35 .The Depot was across the street ( PRR) The diamond was there too north bound ,tracks ran next to the cafe . When a north bound came by you had to hold onto your plate & tin ware, the ground really shook . N&W had a coal run there . Those Y 6 Bs could shake the ground nicely. The place smelled of valve oil & journal grease. 1947 railroad days, goodeats too.
Respectfully <Cannonball ( another Jim )
And a good Tuesday morning to everyone out there! The coffee is brewing and the orange juice is ready for pouring.
Breakfast in the Diner this morning will consist of; french toast with maple syrup, buttermilk pancakes, bacon, pork sausage links eggs cooked anyway you like them.
I hope everyone has a good day!
