....We're a tick later this morning.....Bright skies and looks like we'll have at least part sunshine today. 60 degrees right now. Looks like another mowing job to be done here today.
I suppose there are others following along with the massive gyrations of the stock market this week.....Believe we set records. Moving 1000 points one way or another in two days.....and ended up within 50 points of where it was last Friday.....! Thankfully...!

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").
//yawn// Morning all.....
An interesting week all around, punctuated by fuel shortages. Had to wait about a half hour for the fuel truck yesterday morning in Nashville, and last night found the pumps blocked off here at exit 86 on I65 in Kentucky, so most likley, they are short fuel here as well. Price has not shot up, though, which is a good sign (truckstops don't want irate truckers, we tend to not patronize those places that tick us off)
Off to our Richfield yard, will swap loads and head for Binghamton for Monday morning. Should make it ok, will be some long running this weekend, but at least I80, 94, and I65 have all reopened in Gary, IN, after a week of being shut down due to flooding.
See everyone later.....

Good Friday morning, everyone. Jess, sounds like you've had a very scarey time, lately. But it's good to know that you are doing o.k. I'll keep you in my prayers, as I do for everyone else here. Glad your initial test came back negative.
Coffee is ready, and there's fresh juice is made. And, our regular Friday doughnuts, danishes, bagels and bear claws are on the counter for this morning.
You all have a good morning, and take care.
...Jess, that's a scary report. Hope all will be well for you.
Central Indiana is still under the big dome of high pressure so the clear skies and sunshine continues. 55 degees here this morning.
Hello my friends,
I've been a way a little while dealing with a health scare.
While on the job as an Emt and trying to save the life of a man who OD'ed on heroine I was stuck in the stomach with a dirty needle when our driver took a sharp corner and my partner and I got tossed in the back.
I had to be tested and last night I got some good news that the intial test came back negative but I have to be retested in 30 days but so far so good.
I'm in the process of recertifing and I'm wondering if I shouldn't find another line of work to get into.
I didn't want you folks to think I was just being rude by not stopping in for a while I had a lot on my mind.
Be well and what ever you do for work PLEASE be as careful as possible.
Your MRRing Frined , Jess.
Attended a gallery opening tonight which included two of daughters photos.
As I'm looking at some of the photographs (there were other art media represented as well) I could only think to myself, "I've got some that are this good, and in some cases better!"
My daughter thought the same thing when she was first talking to the gallery manager, but the manager pointed out that each picture is a representation of the artist's view. Which means that people can look at my work and say the same thing. So much for today's ego massage....
Gotta get ready to work on the railroad tomorrow.

One reason cited was that meth-heads were stealing them right out of the driveway or patio.

The utilities have the same problem - phone in particular when they use a generator to power a local distribution frame.

We had the same problem during the Ice Storm of '98.

There are still about 125,000+ without power, and Jeff. Co. schools are to open back up Monday. And they have cancelled all sports activities for tomorrow night.
At least one death, and several hospitilizations have been reported, due to people running portable generators inside their homes.
.....6%, sounds like a job for geared engines. Wonder why some of those locations put in place such steep grades as they put the route in place years ago.....? Was it money....Using a more circuitous route usually can ovecome such grades to get from point A to point B.
Standing at trackside down in Saluda N C and observing the NS steep grade of 4.7 to 5.1 is almost unbelievable for a railroad.
....Thur. morning is starting with calm....clear skies and 60 degrees. Looks like another really great day.
Good Thursday morning, everyone. It's a very cool 60 degrees here in Lou, KY this morning, and there must be a slight breeze, because it feels cooler and chillier this morning to me. Joe, glad to know that you don't have any cataracts.
Got coffee just about ready to pour, juices are freshly made (oj and oj/tangerine, and grape juice), and ready to go. Hot water for tea, and and hot chocolate this morning.
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage (pork), scrambled eggs, tater tots and hash browns (so you can pick which one you want), homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage flavored gravy, bagels and bear claws, and some watermelon.
Hey Mookie: want to grab a jacket, and go sit out in the garden this morning, after the sun comes up?? I'll even bring out our coffee mugs, filled w/coffee.
Ray, Very sorry to hear about your cousin. My condolances.
Joe, glad to hear about no cataracts, keep your eyes that way.
I hadn't gone (or didn't think I needed to go) to the eye doctor for awhile and
found when I did go, I did have cataracts starting in both eyes, right one being the worst.
(I thought I was too young, wrong answer.)
After surgery and implants in both eyes, I seem to be doing fine now.....
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!!
well the eye doctor says Matts eyes are better mine are little worse but no cataracts or anything like that.CW thanks for supper.I have our lawn done.I'm going to call our former neighboor and see if she needs us to mow.Time to get ready for work.
ps. put another hash mark on the clinton st viaduct.
Well, I made it back home from my doctor's appointment. My right knee is in very good shape; but, come Monday, I will be fitted for a brace for the left knee. It's turned to the 'outside', toward my right knee. So he wants to try to that for awhile, and see how it does. Other than that, I don't have to see him again until next September.
Here's our Mexican Fiesta menu for tonight:
1. Tacos (hard shell and soft shell)
2. Burritos (beef, beef & bean, and beef enchilada style)
3. Spanish rice , shredded lettuce w/onion and tomatoes
4. Chimichangas
And we have tortilla chips with your choice of salsa, picante sauce, and con queso.
You all have a good evening, and I'll talk with you later.
