Good morning. I'm getting ready to go to work. This is the first time that I will have left home this early for work with my current job other than Saturdays and Sundays. I start work at 7:30 and will work until 2:00 this afternoon.
We have 60 degrees here in Sioux Falls this morning, and a 60% chance of thunderstorms, so I will be sure to take my umbrella with me.
Our local HO scale railroad club, the Sioux Valley Model Engineer's Society will be hosting an open house this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. We have one of the better club layouts in this region, and I think it is a shame that most of the members of this particular forum don't live within a couple hundred miles of Sioux Falls, otherwise you would all receive an open invitation to see our layout and watch the trains. We operate an average of six to nine trains at any given hour.
I hope the rest of you out there have a good day. Off to work I go!

We're in the middle of a downpour as I type this.
Greetings, all. Sorry for being so scarce around here lately, but I've been re-dedicating myself to losing weight and avoiding food at all costs, including the virtual stuff. Since last Friday I've taken off six pounds, and I feel great again. Now if I can just keep it going...

.....'Morning all.....A bright start to our morning. 60 degrees now after an 82 yesterday. Might see a spot of rain sometime today. A hit or miss forecast of rain possible.
Getting close to another yard mowing time again, but I don't mind that when it's so nice outside. April and May...for me, love it.
So many blossoms around now making everything so nice.
Still waiting on my Humming birds to return though...None yet.
I surely think just any day now.....I'm anxious to see if I can see any of the same birds that were here last season. I know I'll be able to ID one if he is one that comes back.

Good Thursday morning, everyone. Looks like it will basically be a beautiful day here today. Currently, we have a temp in the 60s, with only a 20% chance of spotty showers later tonight, after a high of about 83.
Coffee is ready, and I've made fresh juice for this morning. There's also hot water for tea. On the breakfast bar, all the regular breakfast menu, including pancakes for anyone who wants them. And, of course, Mookie's bagels and Larry's bear claws.
On the news this morning, I saw a piece on a trucker, who is protesting the high price of diesel and gasoline. He's riding his horse, and carrying a sign stating that he's protesting the high cost of diesel and gasoline. Think maybe I need to find me a pony to ride.

Brats, burgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob; side dishes: potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw and baked beans.
Beverages: iced tea (sweetened and unsweetened), lemonade, fruit punch, and soft drinks of all kinds.

I would by the feathers would set off my allergies.another nice day here in nw ohio.time to get matt off the bus.CW I'll just take leftovers for supper tonight.
All this talk of naps is making me sleepy!! Guess I'll try to take one in a bit.
Sandwiches for lunch today: roast beef & cheddar cheese, turkey & swiss cheese, ham & American cheese, PB&J, tuna salad, and ham salad. And you have a choice of fries or chips, and garden salad or cole slaw w/your sandwich(es).
Supper tonight will include whatever requests you all give me this afternoon. My brain is so asleep, I can't think of anything on my own to fix for tonight! So, give me some meal requests for tonight.
Tree - send water bed....will exchange for hammock...
Joe - you should try a feather pillow when you have some extra pocket change. Mine is wonderful!
Hmmm - sounds like I travel between fridge and bed - yep - sure does!

Well, I looked at the weather bug as I read GP's post, and it said 61, too. Now it reads 65 and I'm not complaining.
Sis wants to send Mom east for a bit. Mom fell Thanksgiving weekend and busted herself up pretty good and Sis is feeling the stress of having to deal with it. My other sister and myself are too far away from AZ to get involved frequently.
But that just gives me impetus to do a little remodelling and replace that waterbed in the "guest" room, as I've been planning to do anyhow.
Great-grandma will also get a chance to see the newest arrival when she's over here on the right coast.
Just have to figure out when she'll be ready to travel.
Mornin' all. It is 61 and clear in Carolina this lovely day. CW. Ahm hongry! Ergo, I"ll have several pancakes, a couple of the blueberry muffins, a bear claw and some scrambled eggs. My thanks. The Mrs sends her regards and thanks for the thoughts. Her quack is trying to change her from some meds she has taken for years to some new stuff, and apparently she is in withdrawal from the auld stuff. She has been one more sick girl the past few days, but now seems able to sleep better.
I have been thinking about the CEO of CSX making three million a month. I believe I could make it off such a salary, and likely could make the same decisions, but probably not with the same finesse.... I think I will put in for the job when it opens next time. Time to bring back the ACL anyhow! Nice purple and aluminum diesels and improved track maintenance.
Take care
Tom

Good Wednesday morning to one and all. Feel like I'm sleepwalking this morning: can't seem to get my eyes to totally wake up. Need coffee FAST. Oh well, at least I'm working on my first cup of the morning. Hope it starts kicking in soon!
On the breakfast bar this morning: oatmeal, toast, scrambled eggs, muffins, bear claws, and pancakes w/syrup.
You all have a good morning, enjoy your breakfast, and I'm taking my coffee, and a bear claw, and going out to the garden. Anyone wants to join me, you're more than welcome!!
Mook, I Can help Joe with the fan.....We have a Very Heavy Duty Industrial fan here
that is Guaranteed to take care of Pesky, Excess Paperwork!!
Chicken..Loaded? .....Getting onto a catapult? ......Can we say "Singed Feathers?!"
(or was that "pre-b(l)asted?")
(CW be sure and save the empy Tuna cans so we can recycle them)
Tom, Ditto on hoping the Mrs. gets to feeling better.
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!!

Why don't you pm or e-mail me with the details? I would appreciate it!
Joe - I need the fan - and have been using one in the mornings. My little cubby gets pretty warm since air circulation is shut down at nite and I am in there at 5:30 am - well before it starts back up at 7.
Did everyone see The Chicken was getting loaded! Who would have thunk it?
CW - I will take the tuna, sans can. Thank you!
Joe, speaking of fans: just cleaned two of our window fans this afternoon, and they're in the windows. Got a couple of containers ready for you, for work tonight.
Tonight's MEXICAN FIESTA menu:
tacos, beef & bean burritos, beef burritos enchilada style, tamales, Spanish rice, quasadillas, guacamolie (sp?) dip, salsa, and con queso dip, and, of course, the tortilla chips to go with the dips.
Also have some fresh fruit , and the desserts tonight: chocolate cake, rice pudding, and chocolate wheat fudge (left out the peanut butter in the wheat fudge, just in case anyone doesn't like peanut butter or is allergic to anything w/peanuts in it).
Tom, sorry about the tuna salad at lunch. I usually have ham in the fridge for ham salad or ham sandwiches. Hope you found some in the fridge.
cw thanks for supper.hey mookie its springtime and its warming up>>do we need to get your fan???(no more paperwork).Ray I'm not a coffee drinker so thats why I drink OJ in a coffee mug.anyway off to get stuff for work tonight.
I am caught between two piles of paper - I'm coming eventually - save food and coffee/milk....
Moo
Larry, I don't work anywhere, but mind if I join you at your booth, and lay my head down, and take a nap? After Produce this morning, I am tired and worn out!! We had 91 people show up this morning: 25 were there at 7:55, when I got up there!! We had plenty of potatoes, small heads of cabbage, onions, everybody got 2 oranges and 2 lemons apiece, and the first 5 people got a large bag of salad mix.
For lunch, I've fixed some tuna salad sandwiches and put chips and pickles out on the counter, and some other cold cuts for for sandwiches. Later on this afternoon, I'll start preparing for our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta for tonight.
Tree: More questions forthcoming when I get to the far side of Mookie's nets. (something not clear in what I got off forum).... I've got to go get loaded into the slingshot catapult launcher here and get aimed towards Illinois just shortly here...

Well, night three at the PBS auction went well (night two for me), although working at work, then being at the TV station until midnight makes for a long day - I'm pooped.
One of the staffers asked me if I was still interested in an item I bid on at their antique auction this spring, as the high bidder hadn't taken it. I was, and now have in my hands a genuine 1903 New York Central timetable for the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Division. Neat stuff!
Bearclaw, tea, and a quiet place to lay my head...
