Such a beautiful day today! We have a very nice breeze blowing, but it sure is warm out! I'm not sure what our temp is right now, as I haven't even paid any attention to the thermometer.
Here is our Pizza menu for tonight:
1. Anchovie
2. Canadian bacon
3. Goetta
4. Hawaiian
5. Pepperoni/mushroom
6. Supreme
7. Italian sausage calzones
Desserts for tonight: Black walnut ice cream, Neopolitan ice cream, Chocolate ice cream, Peach ice cream, and Snickers ice cream
The pizzas are on the warmer bar, and there's plenty more made up and in the fridge, if we 'accidentally' run out and need to pop a couple more in the oven. And, of course, the ice cream is in the freezer.
It certainly was a beautiful day. The conference was OK, and I did get to spend some time looking out over the St Lawrence River (and a beautiful Boldt Castle).
The railroad is the major sponsor for the PBS auction on the late shift tonight, so it's time to get the uniform ready and go make an appearance.

It was a very nice day here also, though I spent most of the day
inside repairing the plumbing for the outside faucet.
I think it got to 87, with the record for this date being 88.
Larry, have them take some pics of you in your uniform and
post them!
Does your railway have another RS-3 in the "Refurbishing" stage?
Saw some pics. the other day of an Adirondack Rwy RS-3 with the windows
boarded up, and in sad need of a paint job.
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!!

No RS-3's. Odds are if you saw "Adirondack Railroad" locomotives they date from the 1980's Olympics incarnation. One of them (the "Tampa Tiger") is stuffed and mounted next to Utica Union Station.
We are working on an ALCO Century, but progress on that is dictated by available money.
I had one of the station staffers take some pictures - I'll get them downloaded tomorrow. Time for bed.
Good Sunday morning, everyone. Nice and warm this morning. We have a temp of 71 degrees, going for mid to upper 80s again today. The wind is below 10 mph, so they'll get the balloons up for the Balloon Race this morning. They're trying as hard as they can, to get it going this morning, as the winds are to pick up later today.
Coffee, juices, and hot water for tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and pancakes and waffles. Plenty of hot maple syrup, and I believe we have some blueberry and strawberry pancake syrup, also.
One thing we're having for Sunday Dinner is chicken abracadadbra; veggies to go along with the chicken will be broccoli w/cheese sauce, corn, and mashed taters w/gravy. And I think I'll fix some spaghetti w/meat balls, garlic bread, garlic toast, Italian bread, and garden salad also.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, have a good morning, and take care.
Morning
another nice day here in nw ohio.going to get matt ready for church and sunday school.mamma has a gift card from a local nursery so she wants to go get some flowers.Cw thanks for breakfast and supper for tonight.
Good morning. CW, thanks much for putting breakfast together for the rest of us this morning! I got up within the last half hour and it is raining here in Sioux Falls, and I'd heard some thunder a little while ago. Right now our temp here is roughly 45 degrees. I'll be going out to the fair grounds for the 2nd day of our railroad club's open house and our club's President will be picking me up within the next three hours. We didn't have any coffee out there yesterday, so between myself and our club's President, I think we will get that taken care of.
With all the rain we are getting now, I'm sure glad I got my yard cleaned up last week.
I hope the rest of you are all having a very good day!

And another beautiful Spring morning....Warm and full of sunshine. Temps already into the 70's.
Might get a bit of wind today, but right now just a slight breeze.
In about an hour we'll be in our church service and then back to get ready to head to Red Lobster for some lunch....than check out at least part of the Nascar run down at Talladega.
Can't believe how nice our yard looks now....
Good morning from Utah. We got back to Salt Lake City about one this morning, because the UP did not want Amtrak to damage their track maintenance equipment by running into it, and had us sit in Grand Junction for two hours while they worked towards getting their equipment off the main (#6 seemed to be about on time when we met her). It's nice to sleep in our own bed again.
Johnny
Quentin, you mentioned that you and your wife will be going to RED LOBSTER for lunch after you've been to church this morning. That is interesting because tomorrow morning I will be going out to our local RED LOBSTER to apply for work. I went out there this past Friday and was told that they are only taking applications from Monday thru Thursday. It was a real bummer being told this, but I will not be deterred. I want to work for them badly enough that I will try them again tomorrow.
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo

Well, good luck in seeking employment there Justin.
Ask, and you shall receive. Yours truly selling the last "board" of the night for our local PBS "All-Star Auction."
The road to to success is always under construction. _____________________________________________________________________________ When the going gets tough, the tough use duct tape.
Outstanding Larry!! What were the Good Bargains?!
(you didn't have to Demo that tractor did you?!)
Back from my professional obligation in snowy/foggy/rainy Cheyenne. Uncle Pete seems to be kinda slow, compared to past visits. DRGW Tunnel Motor 5371 seems to have wound up in Steve Lee's steam shop, slumbering away with the rotary and the covered wagons. (think I was a little spent, sacked out for almost 14 hours- the places I've been in the last week!)
Hopefully the rain holds off so I can mow the entire yard for the first time.
Nice duds Tree! (You, LC & I could clog up most hallways)
ps - If CW wants me to do my magic act, I'm gonna have to clean up my act. I'll still show up for brocolli-cheese anything.
It's my turn to keep a nervous eye on the sky tonight- we've already had one tornado touch down just a few miles north of us near Alburnett a couple of hours ago, and now there's a solid squall line bearing down on us from the west.

ahh the best laid plans of the dispatcher.............
q 324 has 44 cars for the yard.another eastbound is waiting at FC.There are 4 hot westbounds coming through and a switch at west standley(crossover east of the yard) breaks down.Cw thanks for supper.Mc if you add me in the mix we defineately wouldn't win a stuff a VW contest.

Are we an offensive or defensive line on the Diner football team?

Brian, hope you and Joanie have an NWS Radio, or very loud Civil Defense Sirens.
Hope it doesn't get any closer than that, and that's too D....close!
Lets hope you all don't see any bad weather at all.
Justin, Good Luck on those tests, Ky did away with their CATS Testing this year,
seems even the smartest people couldn't pass them.......Go Figure.
Joe, check your emails, engine made it to Louisville, should make it to it's
final destination in a day or so.
At about 140 pounds; I'll be the "Water Boy"

Well, the squall line fizzled, thank God, and all we're getting right now is a steady light rain.
We just bought a new digital NWS warning radio a few weeks ago- today was the first day it actually went off. Nice and loud, too, guaranteed to wake us up if it happens during the night!

We've had ours for a few years, wouldn't give it up for anything; stays on 24/7.
(rechargeable batteries)
However; there are times when it goes off in the middle of the night,
I could really curse it...........However..........
mudchickenAre we an offensive or defensive line on the Diner football team?
How "Offensive" do you want us to be?
We can quit using deodorant!! That should be plenty "Offensive"!!
locomutt Outstanding Larry!! What were the Good Bargains?! (you didn't have to Demo that tractor did you?!)
There was a gift card from a video store, a gift certificate from a restaurant, a wine tasting, a half day rental of a double kayak, a ride on our railroad, the little tractor, a Zippo lighter decorated for the NY Giants, and some coupons for a local cab company. It was the last board of the night, so I didn't stick around to see how they did.
Wrapped up the auction tonight. That's it for another year (although I'll undoubtedly work on the art auction in the fall).
I'm pooped. Time for bed. 6 AM gonna show up awfully early.
Mudchicken, you all are the defensive line on our football team.
Good Monday morning, everyone. Glad you all enjoyed the food yesterday.
Brian, I'm glad to hear nothing came of that nasty weather for you all!
Larry, very nice picture of you. Glad the auction went well. Maybe this week, you can get a little rest after you get off work!
Coffee, juices and hot water for tea are ready. And mudchicken, how about some Gatorade this morning? Or some unsweetened iced tea?
On the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, BLTs, along with the regular breakfast menu of bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, biscuits & gravy, fresh pineapple slices, fresh cantaloupe and watermelon chunks.
We have a current temp this morning in the low to mid 70s, supposed to get up to 85 today. Very warm for this time of the year. Then, rain coming in sometime late tonight, and continuing on thru Friday, at least off and on. Seems the 'cold' front has stalled right on top of us, and isn't going anywhere.
Everyone have a good morning, and Mookie, how about coffee out in the garden this morning?
Good morning. CW, thanks much for serving breakfast for the rest of us this morning! I think I'll grab myself a bear claw while I am in here this morning. We have 38 degrees here in Sioux Falls and a threat of rain. I woke up to a thunderstorm at about 6:30 yesterday morning, and we had gotten 4/10ths of an inch of rain over the weekend. Very soggy here.
Our local railroad club, the Sioux Valley Model Engineers Society wrapped up it's annual Spring open house yesterday afternoon, and our visitor turnout was pretty good, especially yesterday. Just after we had opened our doors though, a photographer from the "Newspaper Who's Name We Do Not Speak" (our local, liberal, left-leaning Agus Leader, some people call it the Argus Liar) showed up and we allowed her to take pictures of our layout. She took a picture of me, but whether or not any of these pictures she had taken will appear in print, remains to be seen.
Well, I hope the rest of you out there are all having a very good day!
