You should be out in the middle of nowhere where I'm at Quintion. The wind is bitter! Nice day though. CW, Steaks are delicious! Pass the A1 please!

Sunday here is a cloudless bright sunny day, but on the cool side. Still below the norm in temp.
Beautiful day though....

Yes, Joe, you can fix a doggie bag for work tonight! You know you can always fix a plate or plates every day to take for work, or to take home to Stacey and Matt!!
I'll be loading the steaks and other items onto the grill in about an hour, so everything will be ready when everyone starts coming in after Church, or whatever you've been doing this morning.
good morning

Good Sunday morning, everyone. Cool here in Louisville this morning, with a temp in the 50s. Should get up to the mid to upper 60s for a high today. Then, tonight, some people in the area could see frost tomorrow morning! And it will be dry throughout the week.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are available. And if anyone wants some, there's some hot cider, also.
On the warmer bar this morning: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls, fresh from the bakery and homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy and hash browns.
I think I'll fire up the grill for Sunday Dinner today: how about some rib eye steaks, grilled "baked potatoes", macaroni salad, garden salad, potato salad, green beans, baked beans, grilled corn on the cob
Everyone have a great morning, take care going to Church, or whatever you'll be doing this morning, and later on today. See you all later.
Randy, sounds like you had a very busy day yesterday! Bet you're worn out this morning.
Night all....
Beautiful day today, so went to parents and mowed lawn, picked up sticks, and got the pool filter filled with sand. Will run over tomorrow to pull off winter cover and get pump up and running, and start dumping in chemicals to get water ready. If wind is light tomorrow, may start another pile of brush burning, and get rid of a few more trees and those #%^%& grape vines.
Went over to a friend of mine's this evening for dinner and to see his daughter, little Gwen is a bundle of energy (and has a voracious appetite to match!). Also got to see his most recent purchase, three Massey-Harris model 35 combines from different owners. This model is one of the first purpose-built combines (not based on a tractor running in reverse), and is probably one of the smallest, if not the smallest. It is about as big as a Crown Victoria, except is about eight feet tall, and has an eight foot grain head and a two row corn head. He has one of them in running condition, and he figures on stripping the other two for useable parts, although he may have enough parts to build a second one.
CN has been busy in town lately, on Friday they were changing out rail on the high side of the curve downtown, presuming they will be back Monday changing out the low side. Judging from the equipment that has been delivered the last few days, they should be changing to a tie gang, with the first project being ties on the Nestle spur.
See everyone later....

Well, we got rocked today. Storms all over the place.
I drove down to the railroad (scenic) on Friday to build a cabinet for our crew office (there was a small picnic table there that just took up too much room. Worked on that until about dark, then started back up first thing in the morning. Finally finished what I could do (the carpentry) before I had to leave for home and the FD banquet.
Someone else will have to apply the finish.
While I was working on the cabinet this morning I was suddenly surrounded by a bright blue-white light, and almost immediately after heard the resounding boom. Not sure where the bolt hit, but it was close....
Didn't last long, though.
Gonna go visit the baby (and his parents) tomorrow.

Cw pizza sounds great.well after the rain finally stopped today we went west to Garrett indiana to try our first bikes and train adventure.We rode a total of 7 miles round trip.Not bad for our first time.We heard the garrett yardmaster tell the crews to calm down they only had 1 crew van to come get them.We also welcomed an ethenol train into ohio with up 6658 and sp"unpatched" 352.going to be a cool one tonight.
cherokee woman Well, the Plimico race is over: Rachel Alexandra won, with Mine That Bird coming in second. Interesting race to watch, that's for sure. And no, I didn't have any money on the race.

Yes, RJ, congratulations on finishing college. Do you have plans, other than resting from academic work for a while?
RJ, congratulations!
Our Saturday Night Pizza Fest is now on the warmer bar. Three of every kind, ranging from Anchovie to Supreme pizza and Italian sausage calzones, are on the warmer bar.
I have the chocolate chip ice cream ready for dessert. Larry, do you have the peach ice cream ready yet? Inquiring minds want to know!
Everyone enjoy your pizzas and ice cream, and you all have a good evening and take care.
Congrats RJ! Are you going on to grad school? What is your degree?
You and the Driver would fish well together. He can go to any lake with no one around to bother him and within 30 min, he will have a crowd around him and people passing by wanting to visit. He loves to fish all by himself and I don't think he has ever gotten to do that. Even in Wyoming!

Morning all!
Well, as of last night I R a colledge graduit The ceremony was ok, the best part of it was the professor reading the Arts degrees, he had so much tassel that his hat wouldnt stay on! So instead of fixing it, he would just tilt his head farther and farther. He finally got a bobby pin and used that but it didnt help even though in the lull between rows he made a comment that Bobby Pin would be graduating later in the evening.
Today is a beautiful day, I have already been fishing. I drove about 45 miles down to Antelope flats on the Flaming Gorge right on the Utah/Wyoming state line. I caught 6, but didnt keep any. This time of year the big rainbows come ashore to spawn. I dont tihnk I caught one under 18 inches. I left though because most people aren't as die hard and dont go until later in the morning, then have no respect for people already there I had some guy walk over and start fishing my spot right next to me and he started complaining because I was sidecasting with my fly rod and I was barely missing him. I told he a few times that that is how I fish, and if he didn't want to get hooked he should go elsewhere. He moved and started fishing off the dock, but the started complaining when I was catching the fish and he wasnt. Some people just aren't happy unless they are complainig I guess.... I decided to leave when a family showed up and their dog went crashing into the water and the kids started throwing rocks.

Saturday morning here is overcast and moderately warm. Overnight weather front that passed thru Indiana didn't harm us here and left just .65" of rain in my gauge. Clearing will occur later yet today. To be 70 at noon. We have some leaves laying in the yard as to indicate some wind accomplied the weather front as it passed during the night.
Now it appears sunshine will be moving in and perhaps last thru Wednesday.
Good Morning Everyone!
Cloudy and muggy here in Alamo City. We have a 60% chance of storms later today. Hope to get something out of this because we are headed for Stage II water restrictions here.
I traveled to the Albany NY area with some friends last weekend. Had a great time checking out all the rail activity in that area. Even got to see the Circus train!
Hope y'all have a great Saturday!
Good Saturday morning, everyone. Joe, thanks so much for fixing breakfast this morning!
Woke up at a little past 6:30, and just now getting on the computer. We got plenty of rain last night and very early this morning, from the looks of our Saturday paper. It was completely waterlogged: feels like a concrete block, it's so soaked with water!
It looks like we'll be getting some more rain, but hopefully, the storms are out of our area. Temp this morning is in the upper 50s, looking for a high of the mid 70s, then tomorrow, our high is only supposed to be about 72, 73 degrees, if I remember the forecast correctly, with no rain for the next week.
I hope everyone has a good morning, and a good afternoon. I'll be looking for everyone back in here this evening for our pizza fest. Take care, you all!
juice coffee and cinnamon rolls are ready to go.had some thunderstorms last night.The heavier ones went through west central ohio.hope things are okay at your house modelcar.
Cw thanks for supper.played basketball after work this morning.Woke up stiff and sore.The rain is to the north of us right now.going to make some popcorn for the evening.enjoy.
Quentin, that does sound like good news.
Mookie, yeah, that was fun this morning: we'll have to do it again!! Maybe Monday?
Instead of our regular Friday Fish Fry, today we'll have Friday Fish Grill. I've got the grills going, and have the regular lineup of fish on the grill. Of course,I do have the fryers going with the fries, hush puppies, and breaded fried mushrooms.
Also have the 'baked beans' and corn on the cob on the grill.
Regular dessert menu includes all of everyone's favorite cakes, cobblers and pies.
You all enjoy, and have a great afternoon.
Lots of sunshine for us this morning....Possible rain and maybe storms passing by later in the day. Warm temps.
Trivia news:
Brevini Wind.....The manufacturing firm in the process locating close to Muncie....{at 332 and I-69}, has bumped up their schedule to get their plant up and producing wind turbine gearsets.
The article in the morning paper also stated the railroad spur is under construction that will be connecting the plant to the NS Frankfort line slightly west of Muncie. That should be roughly 1 1/2 to 2 miles in length. That's something new.....a railroad connection to a new plant.
Product to be produced will be gearsets for the wind turbines and each to weigh about 50 tons, hence RR connection needed. {Must get out there and check on any new RR construction}....Just a few miles from us.
Should employ around 450 people when in full production. Understand new demand has caused them to fast forward the schedule about 6 months. All seems to be good news for Muncie / Yorktown area. And of course we like to hear of any increase use of RR's.
CW - nice day, so let's go.
Tom - sending drier weather your way next week. Our weekend looks perfect. Next week will warm up to around 80. That is getting to the top of my comfort level.
Woodpecker seems to be sleeping in this morning. Wonder what Johnny did to dogs and how he did it from that distance.... They are all quiet this morning, altho one had a fit at 3 am. Maybe the local cat stepped on him.
Good morning everyone, and thanks for breakfast. At present, 70 and overcast in Carolina this day, calling for 83 and lightning the next two days!!!!!!!!!! It seems that it will never end, day after day. Well, anyway, everyone take care.

Good Friday morning, everyone. Hope you all had a peaceful, restful night. We have a temp this morning of 60 degrees, going to have some sunshine today, with a chance of showers, and a high of 83. Should be a nice day, as the chance for more rain is 30%.
Cannonball, glad you managed to drop in last night! How are you and Shirl doing?
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are ready.
On the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws and an assortment of doughnuts, danishes and muffins are on this morning's menu.
Mookie, I've got your coffee mug ready; how about we head out to the garden with our coffee and a small assortment of bagels, doughnuts and danishes and a muffin or two?
Everyone enjoy the food, and your morning, and take care.
I wonder if the RR bought the francise just for that purpose to make the wait more pleasant ???? ~~~~~~ LOL Forgive me, these Santa Ana winds tend to dry ones rational thinking . Respectfully, Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Mookie And those wonderful, soft turtledoves; they coo and sound like they could put a baby to sleep with their song. But when I watch them, they will attack any bird but the "squirrel bird" and seem to tell the other birds eating seed in the area that they will pinch their teeny little heads off if they get close!

CW - I am with Joe - sloppys sound good to me.
Don'cha just love the way I eased Tree into making ice cream. I will distract him again sometime and maybe we will get some of his good BBQ.
Johnny - the dogs have been a little quieter. I am not sure why, but definitely enjoying the lull in the "music". I sure hope that woodpecker knows how to holler "Timber!" cuz the way he is pounding, he should have either a tree or a pole pretty well pecked thru. He went all morning and I heard him right up until I went to the store at 2:30 pm. Must be lying down, cuz it is quiet now.
Best tell the Driver not to be late with the food in the mornings. Pretty rough crowd out there!
cherokee womanI've made some sloppy joe sandwiches and have them on the warmer bar. There's also some fries and salad to go with the sandwiches.
Joe, you're the only one to respond to my request for tonight. So, we'll repeat the lunch menu: Sloppy joes sandwiches w/fries and garden salad. And I've got two or three fixed for you to take to work tonight, too. They're in the fridge, as usual, waiting for you to pick up.
The sun has come out, and we have a current (and high) of 74 degrees for today. But, we have more rain headed our way for tomorrow. Some from the southwest, and I think there's also some rain headed this way from Iowa way.
You all enjoy your supper, have a good evening, and take care.
afternoon
well matt and I made back from town.Csx is making preparations to replace the switch at the maw siding.We also saw 2 norange bnsfs with an eastbound coal train.As far as crossings go the dispatcher usually tells the crew not to block any crossings if they go to get something.I usually offer if I see they are stopped and are going to be delayed for awhile.However there was a time when csx did a banner test just west of deshler.It blocked every crossing in town(especially with the long stack trains).Cw sloppy joes are great for supper tonight.Larry I'll take my turn at churning the ice cream saturday just let me know.Time to get cleaned up.
