Well, we're back from the CSX Family Day picnic. Had a good time, except they didn't have a train to tour this year. What a bummer!! But they had a little train for the kiddos to ride, and had a big blue dog inflatable slide for the kids. Even had some antique cars: a Chevy Chevelle SS, a Corvette Stingray, and an old red pickup truck (can't remember the name on it, though). And lots and lots of food and soft drinks, water, lemonade, tea, etc. (nothing alcoholic).
I'm kind of short on the pizza menu tonight, but here's what available:
1. Cheese w/extra cheese
2. Hawaiian
3. Pepperoni/mushroom
4. Supreme
You all enjoy your pizzas, and have a great evening. From:

....Might be a good day here in our area to be on the look-out for sun kinks....{on the railroad}....Bright sunshine with not a cloud in the sky. Just came out of an air cooled restaurant in the past hour to the paved parking lot, and it felt like stepping into an oven. Temp. is registering just 91.2 here at home, but the sun power is brutal. And that's where the rails are for the most part....in the sun.

Same here in Winston-Salem (Winston for us locals). Cloudy with no hope of rain for the next couple or three days. Been dry here, but not quite as bad as last year.
Had to work half a day to get a little bit more for the pay period, errands to run and a pup to look at. Anyone with an idea of a big dog that doesn't eat you out of house and home????

good morning
does Mookie need a ladder for bed? we found strawberry milkshakes too. yes sunshine and muggy here in nw ohio. When we go trainwatching we always bring plenty of water in our cooler.will be back for pizza later.
....73 starts our day here in Muncie....Bright sky. So, guess we'll have another hot one. There is a chance of rain {someplace}, but it will be just by chance....Nothing widespread.
Good Saturday morning, everyone! It's going to be another HOT day here in Louisville. Hazy and humid as well. We're currently at 76, 77 degrees, depending on the area in which you live. High today: mid 90s, meterologists are saying around 94 degrees. Think I'd better find the sunscreen before we head out to Family Day.
Coffee, juices, teas and lemonade are ready. Even have some extra, extra, extra ice cold Gatorade (mudchicken, do you need some?) On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: pancakes, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, fried taters; cold cereal w/fresh fruit & toast; blueberry and strawberry muffins, bagels, bear claws and cinnamon rolls.
You all have a great day, stay as cool as possible, and I'll see you all back in here tonight for our Saturday Night Pizza Fest.

I HOPE NOT I don't want to be chrispy !! You sould see me now in terms of my sun tan. I don't look like an African American anymore...I look like an African, very dark. lol
Well even this late that Friday fish fry sounds heavely! I think I'll take some! If it is anything that I love the most in terms of food it's seafood. I could live off of it!
Well it was another hott one here in Louisville today! I had to spend a majority of the day out in the hot sun kicking cars in the North end of the yard, soaking up both the UV rays and the Kreasote (sp). hehehehe Oh believe me I took heat breaks but, sitting on a hot MP15T w/o AC didn't help all that much.

I really can't argue with you since everything you said was right on the money. Fay certainly has been a challenge to forecast for, in terms of both track and intensity. The rain in Atlanta will not be due to a direct interaction with Fay, but rather due to an indirect interaction in the form of rainbands on the far north side of the tropical storm. Since Fay is in no hurry to get anywhere, those rains should continue for a good while.
To add to the chaos, there is a new disturbance (94L) in the Atlantic Ocean. This could be our next threat to the United States in about 7 days.
In other news, school started on Tuesday. In the middle of September, I'll be going on a class trip to Washington DC with my AP American History class. Later this semester, I'll be going to San Francisco with Academic Decathlon. It seems that I do more travelling during the school year than over the summer.

The saga continues: I am trying to stay up late, since I can only tolerate the bed of rocks about 6 hours. So I choose my 6 hours wisely - 8:30 to 2:30 and do what? or 11-midnite and there is usually something moving here on the forum by 5-6 am.
Now have 2 foam pads on bed. This will involve Randy and CW/Mutt - the foam pad comes from Loolville and it is now too high for me to get into bed. So reverting back to my old travel days with a x-country trucker - throw your hands as far across the middle of the bed and have Driver push from behind. Get into trucks and high beds the same way.
Will take a little time, since I am sure right after the Driver sees me flinging myself across the bed, he will hit his head while rolling on the floor laughing and ....well, you get the picture.
Gonna be a long nite!
....You're up a little late Jen.....{our time}.
Went out to watch a train and watched a strawberry sundae instead. Good trade off since there weren't too many trains out.
Now going to tackle that plastic bag Mudchicken was worried about. If not back by Sunday - just figure I got the zipper stuck!
MC that sounds great.Talked with carl this afternoon.There was an ns autorack train with a up leader.probably waiting to go down the wabash in Butler indiana.Willams county got some rain this afternoon but here at home we had a drop.another triple h day tommorow with a chance of storms.

Afternoon all.....
If anyone happens to be travelling along I-20 between Dallas and Atlanta, could you stop and find my kidneys and fillings? Think the rough road shook them out somewhere, I know I didn't lose them at the Shreveport casinos, cause I didn't go inside....
Speaking of those old-time radio shows, if anyone has a Sirius satellite radio, channel 118 broadcasts all those classic shows. Sad to say, I haven't had time to jump over there, I usually try to follow the news on the trucking channel (someone whack the guy who introduced legislation to re-implement the 55mph limit upside the head for me, PLEASE???)
In a holding pattern for loads right now, apparently Owens-Brockway in Atlanta doesen't have anything loaded yet, or the dispatcher is trying to find something to make up for early in the week (did not care for the load I had out of Dallas, apparently the guys over at Quaker Oats thought 45,000lbs of Gatorade loaded all the way to the back doors would scale out without having the trailer axles behind the trailer.....).
Fish fry sounds great, will munch on it at the counter while waiting for a dispatch.......

It's been a busy morning around here (at home in Louisville): went outside around 9:45, and picked tomatoes until the sweat started rolling down into my eyes. Decided it was time to call it quits in the garden until later this evening, when the sun is beginning to go down. And before I did that, I baked a batch of brownies to take to CSX's Family Day tomorrow.
morning
a triple h day here in nw ohio for today and tommorow.Also we have had some sprinkles around.hopefuly the football players tonight keep hydrated and stretched out.Defiance nipped Napoleon 21-20.(the cats missed a pat).They even had to delay the game in the 3rd qtr. because the sprinklers came on.Time for a nap.
.....Yes, I was rather surprised here this moring as I looked at the temp read out....It's now 75 already, so that means plus 20 or so today and that will be hot. Getting dry here. Just light clouding this morning but bright in the eastrn sky as the sun is working it's way up.
Edit: Did anyone catch the program on TV last night regarding the Alaska RR....I caught just a segment of about 20 min. or so and it seemed to be rather interesting...Good video too. Showed a tunnel used by both vehicle traffic and trains....The portion I saw was hauling coal and the presenter was riding along in the engine, etc....lots of interesting scenes. Wish I would have caught it all. I don't recall what network or cable channel it was on....I was surprised to find such a program and stayed glued to the program and didn't really take notice....
Good Friday morning, everyone. Hope you all are at least semi-awake this morning.
Coffee, juices, lemonade, iced teas are ready, as well as hot water for tea.
On the breakfast bar this morning: danishes, doughnuts, several different flavors of muffins, bagels and bear claws.
Hope you all have a great day, even though it's supposed to be a very hot one (at least around our area), as they are looking for a high here of anywhere between 97 and 99 today. I'm not looking forward to those temps.
