Hi Mookie! So glad you were able to make it in here this morning, along with Tom, Joe and Quentin!!
Got some sandwiches fixed for lunch: open-face roast beef w/mashed taters, gravy, homemade biscuits, slaw, garden salads, sliced tomatoes, cottage cheese, tuna salad sandwiches, ham & cheese, turkey and cheddar cheese sandwiches,etc.
Also have going in the Crock Pot for supper tonight: pork chop abracadbra w/potatoes, and will have broccoli, cauliflower and carrots to go with the pork chops. Should be ready to transfer from the Crock Pot around 6:30 for supper tonight.
Has anyone heard anything from Kozzie lately? I know it's been quite awhile since I've heard from him. Must be really busy at work. And has anyone heard anything from Dan Harmon lately?
sr4501 welcome aboard . I also am an avid steam fan as my signature says. Grab a hand rail and hang on for an interesting ride.
Respectfully , Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
.....Cannonball:
No, sorry....not any more. Now if you were scheduled to do your trip back in the 70's, then you would have passed right thru here....Past the Wysor depot and on to the east side of Muncie and on to Richmond, in....about 40 miles southeast.
That route is now a trail...The Cardinal Greenway Trail....The tracks were removd back in '94. It's the longest rail to trail in Indiana and well used.
It is a beautiful trail now. About 37 miles of paved walking / bike trail. When finished, it will be about 60 miles of pavement for walking and biking.
Your Cardinal will bring you south out of Chicago and down thru Lafayette, In. and on down south to Indy and then southeast to Cinncinatti.
Good Friday morning, everyone. Nice, cool morning here, with a temp in the upper 60s to 70 degrees. Feels very comfortable outside. Cannonball, we have a center that is about 8 to 10 blocks northwest of us, that I've heard is dropping their open times to the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays instead of weekly. Maybe that's why our patronage is increasing the last few weeks.
On the breakfast bar this morning: pancakes, bacon, sausage, doughnuts, danish, bagels and bear claws. Coffee, teas and juices are also ready to go this morning.
Enjoy your breakfast, folks, and have a good morning.
....Boy, end of the week already....Starting with 66 degrees and cloudy. A bit surprised about the clouds. Forecast was for another nice day like the last few we've been having so we'll see.
Everybody enjoy TGIF.
good morning
well ns has their equipment in the siding where I work at.Got some pictures and answered some questions.time for a nap then its off to Cincinnati for the reds game tonight and surprises for matt tommorow.Cw thanks for breakfast.
If anyone is around, and ready for lunch, you'll find our Friday Fish Fry menu on the warmer bar. The fish includes: cod, flounder, haddock, halibut, perch, catfish, salmon patties, and your choice of jumbo or popcorn shrimp. Side dishes include: fries, hushpuppies, baked beans, corn on the cob, and cole slaw.
DESSERTS: chocolate cake, yellow cake w/caramel icing; and the following pies: apple, cherry, blueberry, lemon meringue, peach and pecan.
I didn't see any strawberry short cake for dessert. Its strawberry season up here in northern Maine. I'll send ya'll a truck load. Strawberry short cake for everyone! ( You'll have to make the cake.)
Errrrr----screech------using my Jake Brake to slow down......
Been out all day getting my dose of Vitamin D. Had breakfast out after they drained all my blood out for a blood test! Dr said I am disgustingly healthy - I do that just to niggle him about not being able to make a ton of $$$$ out of me.
Went to bookstore for coffee, then to the park to watch Driver fish. I cleaned out Millie while he stood out there and got ignored by all the fish and even a few ducks. (heard a great duck call - sounded like the real thing - until I realized - it was!)
Driver said he read something interesting on the sports page. Golfers are blaming Tree for their bad golf. Seems he runs out and blocks their shots on the courses and that is why they can't do well. (it is hard to type with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek) But that is what the sports page said - "Trees responsible for bad shots."
I will take some strawberries from Doghouse - and if anyone needs to travel up there to pick them up - take me. I would love to visit Maine!
Feel a rest coming on....
Oh yes - Mick Jagger is now officially older than I am. Until December anyway!

A beautiful day on the shores of Chesapeake Bay. After a brief tour of downtown D.C. for Mom's benefit (she'd never been there) we headed down to the boardwalk for the farmer's market and cruise in. Got some fresh peaches, fresh kettle corn, an a couple of fresh funnel cakes. The cars were mostly interesting, too.
Headed for Balto for the Firehouse Expo tomorrow.
Haven't taken any new pictures of the baby. She's growing up fast!

Good Saturday morning, to one and all. Very muggy out this morning.
Larry, sounds like you and your mom had a very good day yesterday.
Coffee, tea, juices and lemonade are freshly made and waiting for you all. Whatever you can imagine for breakfast is on the warmer bar. Just help yourselves. Enjoy your day, and hope you'll be back for the Pizza Fest tonight.
.....Our beginning here in Indiana is the same as Tom's this morning, temperature wise....73. That indicates to me it will be a warm one. And I thought I'd make some more headway trimming shrubs....Now, not sure. About 10 or 11 to go and I will be all around for the first round of trimming this season....But it will require another one later.

Don't know how these youngsters manage to get themselves in the news. Honestly, the younger generation. Mind you, if you look at his post, Grampaw admits to "73 and hazy"
Dennis (66 and permanently hazy)
PS - Really Glad your health is OK, mook
Quentin-
I'm curious about the coverage the Brickyard race tomorrow gets in Muncie on the TV and in newspapers, as compared to the May race. Is the IRL's 500 still treated as the bigger event in your area?
Have you been to both?
.....Plenty of coverage on the Brickyard 400 Dale.....I really don't know which is considered the most important race currently. For some years now, the Indy 500 has lost much of it's luster because of the split between CART and IRL racing. Now it seems they have agreed to agree again and merge back together. So that certainly will bump the Indy 500 back up a notch or two again.
But the Brickyard 400 of Nascar is an important offering too....Several hundred thousand of fans will be in the grounds.
Our coverage even of the qualifying this morning was broadcast live here....On Speed Channel. They black out live coverage of the IRL 500 in this area. It is then shown by tape later in the day.
Nascar has made a place at the Indy track for it's August race and is popular.
I'm sure you know by now we have two Chevrolets on the front row via qualifying....Pole: Jimmy Johnson and Mark Martin {number 8}, in the outside front row spot.
They've done a bit of tweaking with engines from what I understand again to level the playing field and the qualifying shows it.
Another Hendrick car {Gordon's 24}, sets in 5th starting position. The Toyota number 18 that's been unbeatable in the recent past qualifyed back farther in the field which signals a bit of a change.
Hope it doesn't get interupted by rain tomorrow.....We're hot and humid and the possibiliy exists for some rain tomorrow....Hope we get lucky and get the whole race in. It should be a good one.
PS: I've not attended either race. I've been to Indy 500 time trials but not to any of the Nascar function. We can get so much of it on TV that I choose to catch any of either one that way.
And yes, I've been a Nascar fan for probably as long as it's existed.
"Grampaw admits to "73 and hazy""
Watch it there fellow, I was in the navy and you know what that means!!!
Mookie, you are on report. HA

Please report me to anyone - I am dying of boredom!
....If we're talking about age here....I'll have to admit I'll be pretty close to the front of the class. Somewhat beyond Grandpa....
