Larry, that Owen is a cutie pie! Are you ready to send him to Mookie and me yet? Bet that idea won't roll down the tracks or fly too well, huh?
We've had plenty of sunshine today, along with a nice, cool breeze. Temp is about 70, 71 degrees right now at 5:52.
Here's our Saturday Night Pizza Fest menu:
1. Anchovie 2. Cheese w/extra cheese 3. Pepperoni/mushroom 4. Goetta 5. Hawaiian 6. Supreme 7. Italian sausage calzones
Desserts tonight: yellow cake w/chocolate icing, chocolate cake w/white icing, peach cobbler and ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, neopolitan, Oreo, and Snickers)
Mookie, tell Driver to take care of that finger! And everyone enjoy your supper and desserts, have a good evening, and take care.
oh,oh. He has that "did you bring cake?" look on his face.
Grandpa Tree - check the floor - I think you popped a button....
69/49/69/48 - beautiful weekend in neighborhood. BNSF on holiday. Pushed a couple of coal trains through the yards and drug around some old Dash 8's in SF colors. Paint on one was so bad they could have used a paintball gun on it and made it look better. Orange door, indeed! Where is the pride!
Well, didn't mow the yard, but landlord worked on bathroom sink pipes next door. We share a common, small diameter pipe that collects from our individual sinks and takes it into the waste pipe. It had a major plug in it (probably from 4 years ago when 3 kids lived there) and they must have used a small load of dynamite to open it.
Do not put any fingers, toes or small children close to drain, now! Will take your ring right off your finger!
Fingers: Driver put gash in 2nd left finger at work. I thought it should have a stitch or two - more of a gash than a cut. Well, they glued it. And since it can't get wet or anything on the glue or it won't hold - he has a big splint and lots of tape. It looks like he picked a fight with a gorilla instead of a piece of plastic. With that big old splint sticking up and elevating the hand because it throbs - I asked him if he was showing me the number for his age, IQ or hat size.

rvos1979Ran down I-68 in Maryland and West Virginia earlier in the week, remembered why I hate running that road
.....Some serious extended grades in that area of the Alleghenies.....Pretty scenery, but I'm sure not good for trucking costs Randy. Cumberland really locates deep in the valley.
No wonder it took tunnels and serious grading to get WM and B&O RR's up and over that area heading west. Original home area is in Somerset Co., Pa.and we have been in that area occasionally.
Morning all.
Writing from my sisters' new apartment in downtown Burlington, right next to the CN mainline. Though they are on the river side of the building, can still hear the trains roll through. I am helping them out with the rent, and it's easier on my parents.
Ran down I-68 in Maryland and West Virginia earlier in the week, remembered why I hate running that road. Pulling the hill westbound out of Cumberland, one can watch the fuel gauge drop as I crawled up the hill at 25mph.
Congrats everyone on everything, Larry, the little one looks real cute.
Will take some breakfast, then will probably head out to parents to play Paul Bunyan.......

Good Saturday morning, everyone. Ray, thanks for getting breakfast ready this morning. We had some computer problems last night, and I have just now finished downloading some updates that had to be done, so we could get back on the internet. Thank you, Sarah, for your help last night and this morning, to get everything back up and running!!
Ray, hope the graduation goes well, and you all have a safe triip there and back home.
Joe, sounds like you all have a full day in store!
Everyone have a good morning, and take care!

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").
Good morning! Well, it looks like I am the first one in here this morning, so I will take charge of serving breakfast. The coffee is done brewing and ready to pour, and I've mixed a fresh batch of orange juice. This morning we have the usual assortment of donuts, cream filled rolls and bear claws. The grill is hot and I've got some buttermilk pancake batter ready to pour. We also have french toast with hot maple syrup and powdered sugar, scrambled eggs, bacon and pork sausage links.
I'm getting ready to go down to Vermillion, South Dakota with my sister and her husband, my brother's daughter Amy is slated to graduate from college this morning. I kind of wonder if I will see any trains on my way down there, as my luck will have it, probably not.
ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
evening
matt and I had a good time this afternoon.We are getting things ready for some derf and roll for tommorow.I also learned that 2 area people were hit by trains yesterday.I pray for their families and the train crews too.CW thanks for supper.
I see Alabama, Kansas & Missouri have had very severe storms, with some people perishing. Illinois had tornado, so far everyone OK.
Walt went out a little while ago and checked our rain guage. I had emptied it this morning, from the overnight/early morning rainfall. Then, we had just under a half inch. When he went out and checked we had almost two inches of rain. It has really poured here this afternoon, since about 3:00, 3:15. We're under a flood watch/warning until about 8 a.m. Saturday morning.
I've replaced everything on the warmer bar for tonight's Friday Fish Fry. Everyone enjoy, try to stay dry, if you're in the areas getting this rain/storms, and take care.
Good afternoon. It's raining here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and we could end up with a half an inch before the end of the day. I made the trek on foot to one of our local Applebee's restaurants to submit an application for employment, only to find out when I got there that they are closed until early June. I think maybe they are doing some interior remodeling. So I guess I will mail my application to them. I pretty well got soaked by the rain when I walked home though.
I was able to do a little bit of train watching when I left my house within the last hour or so. The Ellis & Eastern Railroad, which is owned by Concrete Materials runs through my neighborhood and their mainline is one block west of my house. They have four locomotivs on their roster, two of them being GP-10's. After rolling through BNSF's yard on the north side of this town, they then cross the Big Sioux River on a bridge which was originally built in 1893 by the Rock Island, before passing through my neighborhood. They were hauling twenty open hoppers filled with I am assuming crushed quartzite, and the load got too heavy for the two GP-10's, #27, #37. I watched #7 come down the line from the south, couple on to #27 and away they went, in the rain of course.
spokyone Sometimes I swear there is an echo in the diner. All have a good one.

Mookie, it would be good to hold a newborn baby again, wouldn't it? Been three years since I held one.
The first round of our Friday Fish Fry is on the warmer bar. All the regular list of fish, and the regular side dishes, with the exception of the cole slaw and salads, which are in the fridge. And the cakes, pies and cobblers are in the dessert cooler.
Got some more rain on its way in, some could be heavy, and have thunderboomers and high winds. You all have a good afternoon, and see you all later on. Take care.
Yeah, Mookie, I 'd like to get to hold a newborn baby in my arms again: the last one was three years ago, when my neice had her baby.
Our Friday Fish Fry is now on the warmer bar. We have all the regular fish menu items, and the regular list of desserts.
We're supposed to have the heavy rain, and first round of storms coming through shortly, I thought I'd better get the menu posted for you all. The winds are supposed to be up, too, when one of these storms does come though. I think that won't happen until between 4 & 5; but who knows, it come in early, with this round on its way in.
So you all enjoy your lunch, and enjoy your afternoon. Take care!
I'm so jealous!
Thunderstorms on the schedule for this afternoon, but it's just grey right now.
I don't mind driving in the rain, though, especially if I'm headed down to see the new arrival. The family is still working things out. Owen wants to be held (as he has been for the past 9 months - why change?), mom's not getting much rest, etc.
So gramp will give the new parents a brief break this afternoon and take over the holding duties....
Our morning is a variation of sun and clouds. Nice and moderate temps. Weather people are saying rain by 3 this afternoon. So...as soon as I get off here, I better be thinking of getting out the tractor and do another lawn mowing....It's only been 3 days since last cut, but it's certainly growing fast now....and it's thick and pretty and green.
Have seen Humming birds now since the 1st. of May. But just occasionally at our feeder. I expect more soon.
Everything is really pretty and green now. From our patio door I look out over the fairway beyond our back yard and it's so pretty and refreshing this morning.
CW - came thru the door and the screen, too. Sorry 'bout that!
Joe - we had rain up until right after The Driver left for work. Now drying off, altho cloudy and the birds and dogs are singing away. Have a robin that seems to be trying out for the Met....
All is right in my world today. Hope you all have the same.
good morning
had a rainshower this morning but now its nice outside.matt is on time and on the bus.time for a nap then let the trainwatching begin!!
Good Friday morning, everyone. We're waking up with a temp of 63 degrees this morning, and some light rain. Supposed to get up to about 75 for a high today. May see some storms or heavy rain within the next couple of hours; then again heavy rain and thunderstorms around 5 p.m.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are ready. And on the counter this morning: chocolate covered doughnuts, chocolate covered, cream filled doughnuts, chocolate covered vanilla filled long johns, blueberry and strawberry muffins, and apple, peach, raspberry and cherry danishes, bagels and bear claws.
Mookie, your coffee mug is waiting for you, and we'll fill the mug with coffee, as soon as we see you starting to come through the door!!
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, and have a very good morning! Take care.
cherokee womanGood evening, everyone. Boy, has this been a busy afternoon around here in our household. Walt and Sarah got our outdoor faucet running; I went to the grocery, and fixed a big supper for us here at home. The three of us should sleep pretty well tonight! Justin, glad your mom is doing better. Joe, I know you're looking forward to your weekend starting when you get off work in the morning. Enjoy the BLTs tonight. Our temp got up to the mid 70s today, and it's currently 73 out. You all have a very good evening, and take care.

CNW 6000I thought I'd post these here too since not everyone reads the Lounge. Misty and I went and had a 3d ultrasound on Tuesday so we could see in better detail whether our little guy was definately a little guy or a little girl: he's definately a little guy! Boy is getting big and is starting to look like his papa. July 8th sure is closing in fast.

Joe
Dan, very nice pictures of Aedan. But, I'm not too sure about putting Miracle-Gro on him I kind of doubt that Misty would let you try that, and I think you're just teasing us, anyway
Dan - many years ago there was a cute commercial. Little boy visiting a new baby that was asleep in a crib with new mom looking on. The boy studied the baby for a moment and then told the new mom in all seriousness "Too bad you had to get a bald-headed one!"
I loved that commercial!
French toast is on our menu. I usually wait for someone to ask for it, as most of the time, I don't have good success with fixing french toast.
I tried four times to post here this morning. Each try, I was typing, had not gotten down to the post tab, and I would get knocked off the forum. Not sure if it was a problem here, or just on our end.
Joe and Ray, thanks for taking care of breakfast this morning. And Ray, since you had such a fine breakfast for everyone this morning, here is today's lunch menu:
1. BLTs w/your choice of fries or tater chips, salad
2. Open-face roast beef sandwiches or turkey sandwiches w/mashed taters, gravy, and salad
3. Hamburgers, or cheeseburgers with fries or onion rings
4. Grilled cheese or tuna salad sandwiches w/fries or onion rings
Everyone have a good afternoon and take care.
