Mookie, what are some of your interests, besides the obvious, of train watching. What other line of work would you be interested in?
Tom, how are you doing, healthwise? Hope you're improving daily.
Think we'll make it Mexican Fiesta Day today. Got tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, beef & bean burritos, beef burritos enchilada style, Spanish rice, quacamole, refried beans, etc., out on the warmer bar. And there are tortilla chips with all the sauces & dips on the tables.
Tom - being housebound is no fun. I am just getting a little taste of it and I don't like it.
CW - I would love to do some data entry work here at home. It is what I really enjoy. That's why I liked my job so much - it was my hobby and home was my work.
Maybe dig out my crocheting and work along side the Driver while he knits. Oh Goody!
Pass the raspberries, Dan!

....Jen....I'd imagine there is an abundance of the "data work" being done at home now with the equipment and state of the art communication processes at our fingertips....and you sound like you would be a natural for that. I'll bet you can find someone or some place that needs that service. And at so much nicer working hours. Not the 3 oclock in the morning as a start time stuff.....Go for it.
We sure hope you are successful if you do try something like that.

Hey Mook,
Thought you could use a flower to brighten your day a little bit. This my favorite from a series I just did yesterday:
Hope things work out for you!

stay safe

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").
I need to get my ears lowered too. I looked in the mirror and saw something between a punk rocker and mad scientist. Oy
Well, we went and did our duty, now we'll see who wins the different catagories tonight.
Also, I'm just about finished replenishing everything on the warmer bar, for our Tuesday Night Mexican Fiesta.
We did get something at Produce today, that is new to me: broccoli cole slaw. I do not recall ever seeing that in the store before, and today is the first time I've ever heard of it. Have any of you ever heard of it, and/or ate it?
Chris - thank you so much for the flower. I have the nicest friends here on the forum!
There are some grape iris across the street and I told the driver I could almost smell them! (they smell like - grape juice!)
CW - Broccoli Slaw - yes it is very good. You need to like broccoli, but it is very good.
Been a very busy day - had two things to do - some paper work and clip nails. Nails didn't make it yet....still hope for this evening...
Q - I was going to buy a new puter and printer with Uncle G's refund - but now must hang on to the $ just in case. Would love to work from home, but not sure just where to start looking for something like that.
Do have something in the wings, but have no clue where it will go, so will have to wait another week and see what happens with that. Just like Congress, hurry up and wait.

Ole'!
OK, now that supper's out of the way.
Big drill at work today. Practice for the airshow at the end of June. I was there to make sure that everyone knew how to use their two-way radio. It's not as easy as it sounds.
We learned lots of lessons.
After work I was supposed to go to a planning meeting for a SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) drill, very common at prom time. Due to the two youngsters having exhibited the very qualities (and end result) we want the prom-goers to avoid early Sunday morning, the drill has been cancelled. The principal thought long and hard on it, but some mental health experts advised against it. Such drills generally include a "fatality."
This is the third or fourth time we've cancelled the once-every-two-years drill/demonstration (we get to show off how we handle such incidents, too), since each time one would have been held, a student died in a traffic accident in the months prior.
They just don't learn.
Got some tickets to print.
Nice dinner CW!

Quentin; This is not a rumor . If one can trust the national news , the talking head said 3 mi. N/E of muncie Lobt or Logt oil co. has a green donky pump working to the tune of 3bbl. a day complete with storage tank. The guy has his own drilling rig and is lookin' for investers. All this was stated at 0730hrs. MST. Mayhaps you go see for your self. Does Selma still have one road going by or thru town ??
Respectfully, Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Cannonball:
Asked Jean about what you said of the oil operation out in Selma and she said yes, I forgot to mention it.....She saw it on the news with the pump operating, etc....
When I find out a bit more I let you know.....I simply did not see it on the news....and I'm sort of a news junky. {Really, not sort of...ha}.
Yes, the route 32 east passes by Selma now and has for quite a few years. It's a 4 lane concrete road in that area. I've not been in Selma for a long time.
Really, those mom and pop oil wells are dotted around in the state and you can see them over in Ohio too. Perhaps we should get busy in this country and get serious with some of the better ones and really see what kind of capacity they really can produce.
We're heading east Saturday and I'll kinda watch and see if I see any difference in them across Ohio. Some have been dormant for some time. But 127 dollar / bbl. oil might energize some of them again.
CW glad to hear you are doin heaps better . Trying to stop by more often, but the cost of fuel~~~~ that seems to be the answer for every issue . With the Jr. Bush rebate check I'll buy a Atwater - Kent solar system to recharge the ( B ) battery for my Muntz computer HEE HEE LOL .
The best blessings to you and yours

Good Wednesday morning, everyone! Hmmmmmm, who is "trying" to hide in the corner? Dan, if you want to hide from anyone, don't use such a bright blanket to hide under!! I see you!!!!! And thanks so very much for getting breakfast together this morning, and making the coffee and juice. Oh, goodie gum drops: I see Dan set out my favorite doughnuts, chocolate covered, cream filled!! Thank you, Dan! I'll just take one, and save the rest for everyone else!!
Drat! I wouldn've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids...LOL!
I'll put the camo on and sneak outside to hide in the garden...feeling sneaky today....

That's all right, Dan: sometimes, we all get in sneaky moods. Just livens things up a bit, right?
...ssh...waiting to surprise someone...hehe...
//hides under & behind a bush...
oops sorry Dan! didn't mean to give you a shower.Just was helping CW and Mookie water the hanging baskets out here.Matthew is off to school.he also wiggled out a baby tooth last night and the tooth fairy brought him a dollar.he thought it was cool.under the tooth fairy contract the first tooth is a dollar the rest are quarters.Time for a nap.
Hmmm - Joe watered plants but didn't spray that bush for what looks like some kind of fun-gi. Looks like it has eyes, too! Weird. I am going in for a CW donut and think about this one. I think it needs observing from afar....
Q - I heard about your oil well here in the true midwest, also. Wonder if our landlord would mind me digging up our backyard.....
Moo
Dan, the next time you want to hide like that, you might consider using "Forest Green" camo
in the Garden......."Desert Tan" was........ Sort of a "Give-a-way"!!
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!!
.....J....It's not unusual to find those type of oil well pumps and tanks scattered around in fields in this part of the country.....{midwest}, that are mom and pop operations...I simply missed the news report on this one locally. {Selma, In}, just a few miles east of us.
It makes one wonder if it might be possible to really get serious with the better ones and extract larger quanities of oil out of them. Surely these oil prices that are being charged now {$130 this morning}, will excite some companies to investigate.
Just came back from the barbershop and right here now this morning we're looking at 4 dollar / gal. non regular gasoline...The signs were reading: 3.999 right here in Yorktown this morning.
And Pres. Bush just a few weeks ago looked at the questioner when he talked about 4 dollar gasoline like he was from outer space....Somehow we as a nation are going to need to get in and get our feet wet and let the world hear us.....Our economy is going to start to go into the dumper if something isn't changed.
We've been sticking our nose in all other kinds of events in this world, and it's about time we do the same with something on these oil prices.
Hey, Sneaky Dan, are you still hiding in the garden? Or are you over in the corner? I need to know, so I don't spill anything on you, as I go by to put lunch out for everyone. And speaking of lunch, I've made the following for lunch today:
1. Spaghetti w/meat sauce, garlic Texas toast and garlic bread sticks, & fresh garden salad
2. Tuna salad sandwiches w/fries and garden salad
3. And since it's still kind of cool around here, some vegetable beef soup w/cornbread
Since it's kind of cool, thought I'd also get ready, and go take a short walk outside, but I'll be back in a little while, just in case anyone has any suggestions for supper tonight.
//changes to green camo
...sneak....sneak...almost time....sneak....hehe....
//hides further back....waaaay back...
beautiful day today.I'll take a #1 for work tonight please.Got our yard looking good.tommorow will head into town to mow in the old neighborhood.Dan watch out in that back corner.thats where the bug zapper is.
I'll take a number three. Cool and drizzly all day. Yuck!
I have a workbench to build here at work, but I don't really want to use that table saw out in the rain...
Joe:
The locomotive that wiped out the bridge is an ex-US Army 44 Ton GE (somebody please tell the journalist that 80,000# does NOT equal 80 tons)...still waiting for someone [trucking lobby?]to blame this on the railroad... Curious who thought they were getting a locomotive, only to find out it visited the chop shop along the way and came out a temporary bridge pier.
