Eastern Air Lines, by way of Eddie Rickenbacker.
(had to look it up - I remember Godfrey, but not that well)
Apparently he gave so much free advertising to EAL that Rickenbacker decided they owed it to him. They put DC-4 engines in it, and it rattled Leesburg, VA so bad that they built a new airport...

For tonight, I have warmed up the steaks, burgers, etc., from last night, and everything is now on the warmer bar. Joe, I've got some containers ready for you, for work tonight. Lance, if you're still around here, there are containers for you, also.
So far, our high for today is 75 degrees!! We have even turned on the fan in the living room, and the one here by the computer.
The guy who cuts our grass came and cut both front and back this morning. He got here just before 8 a.m., and he worked fast. Because with this being Spring Break, he had to be at work at 9 a.m. Good thing the school is just around the corner from our house. You can see it from our back yard, and the front side yard.
Mudchicken, maybe you could pack up some of the snow you all are getting, and send it down Duff's way, in Florida!! I'm sure they would love it when it melts!!

MC, the Armour Yellow will have to find their way through coal trains parked, some on the main between Swink and LJ. I was there in January and there were three in LJ, one west of the wye and another eastbound at RF.
Don't know if they were waiting for rested crews, congestion or track work south of LA Jct. or a combination. Anyway, that AM there was no room to get to LJ and then proceed east.
Be careful with your 'salt mine' work.

Careful - Toto might take issue with that statement. (but it does fit, the job involves quantities in a landfill)....and this is the neighborhood that swallows railroads whole (or is it hole?)
//back to the salt mines (and will fill all the DINER Cafe salt shakers for free.)
...ps - Jack, that diamonds will get busier after it quits snowing west of here (hint) and LJ will see more Armour Yellow merchandise freights. (and it's snowing to the point that the roads west of here just got shut down again - They'll be skiing into July at the rate it's coming down up there.)

Muddy One, don't get caught dozing at the BNSF-UP diamond, although most of the trains will be UP unless a detour is in effect. Maybe some grain trains being loaded from the huge elevators but with #'s 3 and 4 passing in the night there will likely not be much BNSF moves.

Well, guess we'll have to let you "slide" this time. Hope you left a list of all the
purloined damaged goods so we can report them to the Insurance company.
Woke up to light coating of snow this morning (dogs love it!); Thunderstorms this afternoon.
After Mookie's "grand entrance", we are all awake now.

That plane crash happened several blocks from Bowman Field, (LOU) Louisville's first airport.
Was a military field back in the war days. From our place here, probably about 11-12 miles.
(ground, not air miles, "or as the Crow flies")
The site is close to St. Matthews and L & N's "Shortline" to Cincy, an aerial view might have shown those.
//edit: after closer look at a map book, could have been NS's Louisville to Danville line
around the Buechel area also.
Mook, could you Please not make so much noise when you come in!? I was still sleeping!
(was doing some maint. on the layouts last night and must have fallen asleep under the
big "O" Scale layout.)
good morning
brian we could always use some wood over in deshler for the firepit...going to be a warmer day today.going to get a quick nap then listen to the ballgame this afternoon.
Good Monday morning, everyone. Really had a beautiful weekend, and looks like today will be another beautiful, sunshiny day.
Coffee, juices and hot tea are ready and waiting to be poured. On the breakfast bar this morning: turkey bacon, oatmeal, toast, french toast and fresh fruit.
You all may have to fend for yourselves at lunch time today. Have a couple of errands to get done, and I doubt that I'll be back in time to fix lunch.

Beautiful day, though. I should probably take a few minutes to do some yardwork.
Speaking of yardwork, I had my share yesterday- invited a few church buddies over and we took down two maple trees, a thirty-footer in the front yard and a forty-footer in the back.
Need some wood for the diner fireplace?

Well, decided to go take in the boat show (we are just a short distance from Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence River - which still has some ice). Nothing there I could afford.
Just as I was leaving I heard a siren, so I listened up on pager and ended up running on an accident. No serious injuries, but three folks made the trip to the hospital anyhow.
Beautiful day, though. I should probably take a few minutes to do some yardwork. And see how many of my bulbs have come up. One section of my bulb garden is looking like it will be very colorful!
