Pound cake sounds good. I always like pound cake. Not too many cakes or pies I don't like - just chocolate cake with raspberry or dark chocolate frosting is fav. Carrot cake is 2nd.

Tom, Mookie and everyone else: Pound cake is fresh out of the oven, actually, there's about a half dozen of them. So, there's sauce to go over it, or your can cut a slice, and put some strawberries and whipped cream for a strawberry short cake. Or, put whatever you want on it, or eat the pound cake just like it is, plain, with nothing on it.
You all have a great evening, and I'll see you all in the morning.

Randy; good to see your still out there. When we were teeruckin' some years back, we did the same thing . That was in the days when trk . stops were called ( slop chutes ) . We had a micro wave that was fired by an APU. nailed to the headache rack, that was punchin' out enough power feed a coffee pot also and a tv. The only time we stopped at a trk. stop was to do laundry & shower . . Never could figure how duds got dirty LOL See ya' along the line some where, and dont' transfer paint~~~~ it could clash with your colors. Respectfully, Cannonball

Good Thursday morning, everyone AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BRIAN HANEL!!!!! Brian, I hope you have a great day today, and may your birthday be blessed to the max. Also, may you see quite a few trains today!!
I got up early to fix a special breakfast for this morning. The coffee, juices, lemonade and hot water for tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning:
Turkey bacon, sausage, pancakes with real maple syrup, or whatever fruit you want, scrambled eggs. There's also the regular bagels and bear claws.
I won't be around for lunch today: have to leave at 11:15, to go back to the place that made my ankle/arch support. Going to see if they can put something over it, so it doesn't rub places on my foot.
Brian, what would you like for your birthday supper tonight? Grilled pork chops? Roast, taters, carrots? Just name it, and it will be on the warmer bar tonight. And yes, there's a large chocolate sheet cake hidden where no one can find it, until the unveiling tonight.

Thank you very much, CW and Joe. I'm actually hoping for a quiet day, and I doubt that I'll see a single train due to other stuff that I've got to get done tonight, but that's OK.
As far as supper goes, do you still have that recipe of mine for Iowa Chops? In reality, I need to stay away from them, as my weight has been headed the wrong way lately, but no calories in here...

Brian - all the best. Enjoy your day!
Got all sorts of people trying to throw monkey wrenches in my weekend. Hopefully all will turn for the best.

Happy Birthday Brian! In honor of your birthday, I will go to the grocery store!
Rain and clouds gave way to sunshine and going to get very hot. Hmmm - must be getting close to summer.
Landlord put in "yard art". He is going to install an underground sprinkler both here and at property across the street that he owns. The one across the street has been all buried and patted for about a week. We are buried to a point, but still have long ends sticking above ground, hence the "yard art". Not sure where he went for a week, but would like to see it get finished so we can have water art instead.
He was eyeing our roof, so I am nervous!
Happy birthday Brian!
Mooks: Now the 3rd day of summer break!
Grandma is going to Indianapolis now. Maby for some better care?
I'm really bored...
Good evening, everyone! Brian, yes, I still have your recipe for your pork chops, and that is what I fixed for your birthday dinner!
On the warmer bar: grilled pork chops, w/baked potatoes, baked beans, garden salad, fresh sliced tomatoes, and for dessert, the chocolate sheet cake and ice cream, and there's some regular pound cake, some orange pound cake, and ice cream. All flavors available on the ice cream.
While I was out today, going to get my ankle/arch support adjusted, it looked like rain most of the time. Only once, on the way to the appointment, did I encounter any moisture, and that was only sprinkles. Will start back tomorrow, wearing the ankle/arch support. Back to the beginning, of wearing it no more than an hour or two a day, to see how it will work out.
Brian, enjoy your birthday dinner, and I hope you've had a very good and Happy Birthday today!! Everyone take care, and see you all later.
Cw thanks for supper.justin hope your grandma will be better soon.We saw an L159 and it was very late.Seems csx has a mess closer to chicago.However its the 3rd derailment this year on the garrett sub.Tonight is friday.tommorow matt has a field day for school.

Our kids here don't get out of school for another three weeks....
A belated Happy Birthday to you Brian. Barbara & I went to the Cities and had banana splits in your honor. Wish you coulda been there.

Is that the Quad Cities? Joanie and I spent the holiday weekend (up through Tuesday) in the Twin Cities area at my folks' place in Prior Lake. I helped my Dad clean out his garage- filled a 20-foot dumpster.

bubbajustin Mooks: Now the 3rd day of summer break!
I'm really bored... Bored already, after only three days of no school? Is your trip to Colorado off? Is the expectation of the travel not keeping you interested?
By the way, where are you boarding the Cardinal?
I am remembering your grandmother in my prayers.
Evening all!
Just popping in to say hello. I do have some photos from a few weeks ago of the 844 that I need to post still. If you can't wait, Check out the link or wait for the post, your choice. Maybe I will post this weekend....
Been so busy lately, got a job working testing concrete and compaction on construction sites. Hopefully won't be there long though. They pay a bit less than I would like, and its not what I want to do. I did take the Written and Physical tests for the Rock Springs Fire Department. 70 people applied, 40 passed the tests, only about half are expected to pass background checks. Sadly they aren't hiring until the end of the year when some of the seasoned guys retire. But I have other prospects, I have an interview to be an operator at the Gas processing plant that I was part of the expansion project on last summer. So hopefully my experience there, and knowledge of the plant as well as comfort about being there will help a lot.
Wyoming is just coming out of the "Green" time, it makes me sad when it happens. I was enjoying it being a bit greener around. And actually, it doesn't get green at all. It just gets less brown......
Well that's all from me for the night! Have a good night! Happy Birthday Brian!

Good Friday morning, everyone. Looks like a good day shaping up: rain is gone, veggies are planted in the garden, and humidity is out of here for a few days.
Coffee, juices, lemonade, Gatorade and hot water for tea are ready. Regular Friday morning doughnuts, danish, and bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy are on the warmer bar.
RJ, hope you get the position you want most! Good luck to you.
Justin, hope you Mom and Grandma are doing all right this morning. Will continue to pray for them both.
Everyone enjoy breakfast, and have a good day, and take care.
Good morning from lightningville! Another day of thunderstorms with another projected for today! At present, 70 degrees and sunny in Carolina headed toward 88 and u no wat.... Everybody take care
Morning

Joe - set cupcakes on table. I will guard them.
Tom - send rain. We are really dry. Send lightning for Willy.
RJ - we got our green but looks like we will join you in the shades of brown very soon.
CW - garden? Coffee? (be there right after I find Brian....)
Nice sunny morning here in Indiana land....Should be that way all day. Dry.
Have 2 tomato plants in buckets on back patio and they are growing several inches each day. Small tomatoes will be produced and our neighbor has a big plant {in bucket too}, growing across the street and we'll share and have them as needed when they are ready. His plant will produce regular size tomatoes. These 3 plants will produce many, many dozens of tomatoes. Know that from previous years.

Mookie, it was great out in the garden this morning, wasn't it? Still on the cool side here, temp is in the upper 60s to 70. I sure don't remember it ever being this cool, the end of May before! But, I will gladly take it. The really hot, muggy days of summer will be here before we're actually ready for it, so I'm not going to complain about it being cool here.
Our Friday Fish Fry is now under way. On the warmer bar this afternoon:
FISH: Catfish, cod, halibut, haddock, flounder, jumbo butterfly shrimp, scallops, rolled oysters.
SIDE DISHES: cole slaw, corn on the cob, fries, hush puppies, breaded fried mushrooms, mac & cheese, baked beans, fresh greens, green beans w/ham seasoning
DESSERTS: Apple, cherry and peach cobblers, yellow cake w/caramel icing, white cake w/chocolate icing, and pecan pie.
Hope you all enjoy your lunch, and have a great afternoon.
Afternoon/Evening everyone.....
Well, truck has been in the shop twice since last time I was here, and it's still not working correctly, I've got it figured to be either a bad wire somewhere ($$) or the engine computer has something wrong with it ($$$$). A change of speedo sensors did not fix the problem.
Justin: have you heard the five famous words yet? "got a project for ya".
Heard some unconfirmed reports lately of our company getting more business. Apparently, we now have 70% of the hauling contracts for MillerCoors plants we currently service, and we got our John Deere contract back. All this means I will be very busy this summer hauling many things (which is the way I like it).
Ah, good old Friday fish fry. Will sit down and have some....

Our second round of the fish fry is now under way. Everything hot on the salad bar, cold in the cooler, and the desserts are in the pie safe. (And no, there is no combination on the pie safe!)
Randy, good to see you back in this afternoon! Hope everything works out for the good regarding your truck.
Everyone have a good evening, and take care.

Yep, when we run to Albany or points north, the company wants us to run the south route (I86 and I88), to reduce the toll money spent on the thruway. Will probably run the thruway back if given a load out of Baldwinsville, but we shall see.
Good Saturday morning, everyone. Nice and cool this morning, with a temp of 63, 64 degrees, depending on where you live here. Supposed to get to 80 today, with a chance of storms coming in, possibly around 5 p.m. Maybe I'll help Sarah get the rest of the flowers planted today.
Coffee, juices, lemonade, Gatorade and hot water for tea are ready.
On the warmer bar this morning: bacon, sausage, country fried steak, fried taters, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, fried country ham w/red eye gravy. Decided I'd fix you all a Saturday morning country breakfast, so you'd have energy for whatever activities you have planned for today! The warmer bar will be refreshed every hour, up to 1 p.m. EDT
You all enjoy, have a great morning, and take care.
