Joe, I think just about everybody feels the way Matt does about doing laundry.  Unfortunately, we still have to do it, if we want clean clothes to wear!

Pork chop abracadabra and sides are on the warmer bar, ready to be eaten.  

Is just about everyone 'hung over' from the game last night?  Sure seems that way, since not very many have been in today.  

Guess I'll go warm up supper for us now; so everyone have a good evening, and take care.

Well, looks like the rain is out of here, for a little  while, at least.  Just cloudy and overcast out.  Got some magic pork chops w/potatoes and onion on the warmer bar, along with fried chicken, mashed taters, gravy, peas & carrots.  (Don't worry Joe:  I have a couple of containers all ready for you for work tonight, in the fridge, with your name on them!)

Doing research for another railroad trivia question.  Will post it when I'm through with my research.

This railroad trivia question is for those who don't read Ray's Today in Railroad History thread:

When did Chesapeake and Ohio acquire control of Baltimore & Ohio?

Yesterday we had a couple of inches of snow during the game- this morning we're getting rain with lightning and thunder, falling on frozen streets.  Ah, Iowa winters...

Good (rainy) Monday morning, everyone.  At least, we're getting rain this morning.  Coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider, hot tea are all ready and waitin' for you all.  And on the warmer bar:  turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, along with bagels and bear claws.  

Only watched the last few minutes of the game, just to see who did come out victorious. 

Looks like we've got plenty of leftovers from Sunday Dinner, and the snacks from last night to clean up today.  (Glad I popped back in before going to sleep last night, to clean everything up, and put all the leftover food up!!)

Despite being in Phoenix today, I watched the end of the game in my mother's room at the rehab facility she's in (not that kind of rehab - she's 81 and recovering from a significant fall). 

The better activity today was a visit to the Maricopa Live Steamers facility on the north side of Phoenix (http://www.maricopalivesteamers.com/).  What a magnificent place!  They have nine miles of track and a signal and control system that has to be seen.  They even have some powered turnouts (would you believe power screwdrivers?).  If you're in Phoenix on a Sunday during the cooler season, plan a visit.  They give rides!

Time for bed.

Good evening everyone.

Haven't I seen this game before? Oh that's right--Super Bowl XXV, when the Giants more or less did the same thing in shutting down an opposing offense and won the game in a crazy squeaker. Shock [:O]

Okay guys and gals, I'm setting out the snacks on the warmer bar for the Super Bowl.  Hope you all enjoy them, and enjoy the game!  Also got plenty of soft drinks for tonight.

....Cannonball:

It is a bit too early to have any info on what is next for the 8th st. area location.  The plant has been turned into rubble, and it will be all hauled away procucing a large open space for whatever is next.

It's way too early also on the BWA site to know just what that will produce.  The plant will shut down no later than April '09, but beyond that we don't know just what will be the outcome of the plant building itself.  Rumors are it will be razed but no official word yet on that to the public.

That one will be personal as I was associated with that business for 37 years.  Just can't imagine that plant {and business}, not being there.  107 years up to now and counting.  As you no doubt remember, it's on Muncie's west side along Kilgore Av. and at one time employed over 6,000 workers...!

As these programs proceed forward I'll keep you up on just what is happening here.

And thanks for the kind wishes of good health....

By the way, you may be able to pull up some photos of the smoke stack falling the other day as recorded in the MuncieStarPress.com.

Good Sunday morning, all.  Although I'm not feeling too well this morning.  Not sure why, though, but feeling very yucky.  So think I'll just take a sausage, for now.  Joe, thanks so much for fixing breakfast this morning.  Wish I could do it justice this morning.

Ham Radio, Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forums, and the Diner!  Glad to have you aboard!  And congratulations on answering Mutt's trivia question.  Now, to think of another one.  Would you like to have a go at it?

Here is our Sunday Dinner menu for today:  pork chop abracadbra w/potatoes and onion, creamed sweet peas and carrots, applesauce, and homemade buttermilk biscuits.

You all have a great day, and take care.

I think I have some slides that I shot with my old SLR at the concert we attended- one of these days I'll dredge them up and figure out when that was.  Mid-to-late 80's, IIRC.

I totally agree that JD's version was about the best one. IIRC he debuted that song on

his album "AERIE" in Feb. of 1972; then it was also put on his "ALL ABOARD" album,

which I believe was released soon after his death in 1997. 

 

(Brian, I still have my ticket stub from that concert, and even know where it is!)

Brian, like you, this is one of my very favorite artists; and I was lucky enough to be able

to go to one of his concerts here in Louisville in the very late 70s, or early 80s.

This particular song has appeared on at least one other of his albums besides the

R.R. themed one.

Tom, I know the  answer, of course; my, as earlier, I'm not going to give it away.  I will say that he's one of both Mutt's and my favorite singers; and 10/12/97 is like 9/11 in this household:  we'll never forget the day he died. 

Here is the SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST menu:
