Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Coffee, juices are ready, along with hot water for tea. And the there's also fresh lemonade and fresh iced teas.
Mookie, here's your coffee mug w/ nice fresh, hot coffee in it. And, here's a couple of bagels for you, as well.
On the breakfast bar this morning: all the regular items on the breakfast menu.
Mookie, how would Driver do in Tai Kwon Do (sp?) at the Olympics?
....Muncie day starting with 65 degrees and bright in eastern sky, so looks like a repeat of last bunch of days. That means mid 80's this afternoon or maybe a bit more...
Olympics....Be glad to get them over with so I can get back to my early morning routine....watching some of {at least}, "Morning Joe". And the conventions are upcoming and must keep abreast of all that hupla....
No rain in forecast here yet....and it's getting dry. But we're off to another day and that's a good thing.

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").
CW - daughter takes TKD and is a 1st degree black. Driver karate and 3rd degree black. He was in our state games and won gold, silver and bronze. So he did ok and was getting ready to test for 4th when injury occurred. Sparring is not his problem. It is the low stances required in kata (forms) that he can't do anymore due to torn muscle.
So he could defend himself, but can't do the forms.
Thanx for bagel - multigrain looks good. Back to watching works get ready to pour concrete! Wonder if they need me to whistle at them?
Mornin'! I got some 'stick time' in on the Honda today...not too bad, the whole wind in your hair thing...but someone (me) forgot about the whole lakeflies in proximity to the lake thing. That wasn't too much fun...and it didn't taste too good!
Cup of OJ and something hot...then lurking!

Good day,
I got to see a train strike a parked car here yesterday afternoon. I was 3 blocks away watching a short freight cross the road when I heard a smash. The car got a dent and two flat tires from being bumped sideways. It was just a short train, with two GP9s, 3 grain cars and a propane tankcar. The northbound train crew had to watch back to back crossings, with the second one at a sharp angle. I guess the guy figured there would not be a train between the northbound RDCs at 11:00 am and their return at 3:00 pm.http://wikimapia.org/#lat=49.1673105&lon=-123.9449349&z=19&l=0&m=a&v=2
Okay, time for lunch.
Tom, I had to have that operation about 5 years ago, (both eyes) guess I really do see
better now after the implants....was very nearsighted; now am farsighted!
They did one, one week; and the other the next; patch on over night CW putting
drops in them every so often; no glasses for about a month; (no actual reading either)
reading glasses for abouth a month; then back to dr. to have eyes examined again;
and prescription glasses with not quite so heavy lenses.
For Dan:
Q: Know how to tell a Happy Motorcyclist?
A: Count the number of bugs in their teeth!!
Dale, we've got a crossing quite similiar to that about three blocks from our house;
(NS/CSX joint trackage (ex K & IT)) it's been the scene of more than just"dents" over
the last twenty years.
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!!

It hit the spot perfectly, thanks CW! First night ride tonight....we'll see how it goes!
The Bobcat and it's cousins with other brand names are often called skid steers, as they steer by applying the brakes on one side or the other. Despite most having four wheels (there are tracked versions) the wheels don't steer like a car or truck - more like a bulldozer or tank.
If you're really good, you can put one side in forward and the other in reverse. Zero radius turns!
If you can name an attachment, they probably make it for them. I even saw two with pavement breakers on them - breaking up a concrete roadway.

....In the past our company made transmissions for some of them.
They are a rather good little machine. They can do a lot of work. Maneuver around in tight places and get stuff done.

Thanks Bob,
That would be the afternoon southbound run stopped at the station here in Nanaimo.http://wikimapia.org/#lat=49.1639713&lon=-123.9423573&z=19&l=0&m=a&v=2Unfortunately the station was heavily damaged by an arsonist a couple of months ago.
Perhaps in 5 or 10 years we will be able to view images like this in "real time", and watch trains travel across the land. Seeing hundreds of people flow out of a commuter train would certainly be interesting!
Thanks, Mook, Tree, Joe, MC ,for satisfying my idle curiosity regarding "bobkitties". I'll buy you a beer next time I'm in the cafe !
Good Thursday morning, everyone! Feeling much better this morning: headache has almost totally gone away. I say almost, because a little bit of it is still lingering. But I am feeling a bit better this morning.
Coffee, juices, lemonade, teas are ready to go, also hot water ready for hot tea.
On the breakfast bar this morning: toast, bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs, bagels, bear claws, and various fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, cherries, cantaloupe, other melons)
Our current temp this morning is ranging from 74 to 77 this morning. High today (like yesterday) around 96, 97). Humidity started climbing back up yesterday. We're supposed to see some rain by Sunday, chances increasing between Monday thru Wednesday.
You all have a great morning, and take care!
....Not as warm up here as in Louisville....We have 66 and very light clouds. A possibility of some rain, but I doubt if we'll actually see any.

.....Wow, Tom....It's very familiar........Now must put brain to work.
I will say it was: Walter Winchell....
I knew that - but I never heard it live.
All of 50 here. This is August? What happened to global warming?
This is my Friday, too. Railroad on the real Saturday. Plenty of stuff to do around the house, too.
.....I believe global warming moved out west for the latter part of this summer. I really don't miss the extreme humidity we normally get here this time of the year along with pretty good heat....
Of course we still have some elevated humidity. Windows are closed.
Edit: And yes, I was here to hear "it live".....{Referring to our newsman statement in above post....}.
We have a winner, and yes, it was Walter Winchell. He used to come on the radio Sunday nights on our way home from church. My father was determined to never miss him, and I remember it well. I was just a wee lad but I will never forget his newscasts.
....When it was news time....my dad was at the radio. Gabriel Heeter, and some others. Guess I'm pretty much like that too in my generation.
and Helen Trent, Our Gal Sunday, the Lemac Man (that was their sponsor spelled backward), The Shadow, March around the Breakfast Table....nope - don't remember them at all
