Good Friday morning to all! Looks like we were semi-busy in here last night! Good to know that: means my cooking isn't in vain.
Coffee is on, juice freshly made, and there's hot chocolate, hot cocoa and hot tea available.
Just got in from making an early morning run to Krispy Kreme for doughnuts of every kind, so help yourselves this morning. And Larry, even got bear claws especially for you! We haven't had doughnuts for awhile, so thought I'd go get some for this Friday morning.
But, for those of you who may not want doughnuts, on the breakfast warmer bar, you'll find: turkey bacon, sausage, homemade buttermilk biscuits, and sausage gravy, and homemade hash browns.
Everyone have a great day!!

mbkcs...Yes, it is a good looking organ from what I can see in the small photo....and I had reservations that it might be the Salt Lake City one but the apparent curved ceiling that is just a bit visible made me wonder.
I happen to belong to a UCC out east yet....
Anyway, would like to hear that organ....Looks sizeable.
Have a brand new Pipe organ here in Muncie at Ball State Un. that was constructed into our brand new School of Music Building and dedicated just a month or so ago. It was designed, built and installed by a business from Indy. Really liked the one out east of town {Indy}, at the Music Palace...A Mighty Wurlitzer...It REALLY put out sound...!

A welcome back and a note to our friend on the upper west side.
After returning from WWII, my last surviving uncle went to work in station operations for Northwest Airlines at Chicago Midway then moved to Minneapolis, Seattle, Honolulu; Naha, Okinawa and Seoul, Korea. When he left the airline, he settled in Seattle. A little up from you, I know, but he always said "Where else can you wake on a morning off work and have to choose between sailing, golf or snow skiing." Understand that there are also trains and good shopping. Enjoy.
Evening All,
The cook sent me a note wishing me well, so I thought it was only proper to stop in. Life's been a bit hectic lately. My workload is up a bit as we try to get a bunch of bids out before the company lays off for two weeks at Christmas. Of course that means that the size of each of those bids is larger than average, too.
Meanwhile, I've been selling off the Canon gear as well as I fully adapt to the Pentax system that seems to fit me very well. I've got the very basics covered right now, but will be adding some big glass (I just sold the Canon 400mm and feel a bit naked with nothing longer than 200mm in Pentaxia at the moment) in the very near future, and will be upgrading the zooms and picking up a few more of the "Limiteds" next year.
I will be back in the Chicago area from Dec. 21 through Jan. 3. If there's nice weather (and sometimes even if there's not) you can expect to find me chasing trains someplace back there.
Well, must be on my way. a bit late, Randy. And to all the new members popping up. Glad to have you here! Mind the two rules of the diner, and you'll have a great time!
TTFN!
P.S. mbkcs, really love the organ shot! My dad played the organ at my church when I was growing up, and I always loved organ music because of it. Someday I'd like to learn, though at the moment I have enough problems dealing with two hands on a piano. Not sure if I could even attempt to throw two feet into the mix!

No, the organ is located at Zion's Evangelical United Church of Christ in Downtown Indianapolis, IN. It is where I took lessons in high school and for the year 1/2 that I continued my studies with Dr. Mallory Bransford while attending Butler University. Pretty organ, eh?
As far as the bearded one is concerned, I think he is too busy to post anywhere on the forum, but I will relay your good wishes to him. Mookie, I hate to say this, but he's allergic to, well.. you know.....cats.
Paula, it was nice to hear from you the other day.
Ed, I saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time the other weekend. The coastline here is way different than in Galveston. It was beautiful. But I sure would like to walk on the beach near pocket beach #3 on the west end and collect sea shells and look for dolphins in the gulf.
The wind is going to blow really hard tonight. Hurricane strength winds are forecasted for the area. I keep praying for those three men on Mt. Hood. Two are from Dallas, even.
At what wind speed will they not run trains? And a big welcome to the new buckeye from the daughter of one.
and since the new guy likes Wisconsin...this fall I was at Tarleton State in Stephenville, TX watching my son cheer when they started to play "Oh Wisconsin, Oh Wisconsin." I started to sing, and then I became very quiet.

Hey, glad you showed up finally, was getting worried.
Tell the bearded one e mail works...
Lets see, two fried eggs over medium, 6 or 7 pieces of maple bacon, (fry the egss in the bacon grease) home made hash browns, (the cubed kind, not the ground up stuff) with onion and bell peppers, mushrooms and a touch of garlic, hit it with a dash of paprika, fresh biscuits with real butter and a cup of coffee...check to make sure the fluffy ankle biter is off to her "no reason to have it" office meeting, and a jump for the hammock...or maybe the couch, might even lift up the cushions to see if Kevin or Dan are stuffed under there.

good morning
tina glad to here from you and that mark and everyone else is okay.
yeah I'm on a diet too. its a seafood diet. if i see it I eat it.
also had a 3 minute meeting with the boss last night.keep on keeping on is what he said.going to get some sleep and then matt and i are going to investigate our find further.(carl and ed know about it)if everything goes well it will have a good place to stay this weekend.
hey matt will take a test for anyone.what color crayon you want??
Yawn - keep hearing someone calling me out of my "just toasty right" hammock, to do some testing.
Don't they know I am testy, not a testee.
Tina - so glad to hear from you! Was beginning to think you all had left the forum for good. Hope to hear more from both of you!
LC - I am with you - a good combo pizza (I can pick off my beloved onions) CW?
Well, got some sobering news yesterday! Took The Driver to the eye vet. He has to have some medicare surgery! Is that a bite? We aren't even on medicare!
Anyway - he is having cataract surgery on his left eye on Jan 4 (Happy New Year). This is very important because I want him to drive me to see the trains, not run into them!
Speaking of - we have a really cute little GP28 running around our yard lately. I think they are doing some local switching, but it is really fascinating to see something besides all that "new" stuff and all that coal. Ah life is good on the railroad.
Now about all that chocolate mess...... %~% - got it in my neatly raveled fur. Ever try to lick the top of your head?

Tina, you've got it: blueberry muffins it is this morning. Along with all the regular breakfast menu items.
And speaking of breakfast, the coffee is ready, juice is made, and I've also got hot chocolate and hot tea ready also.
Tina, say "Hi" to hubby for all of us here on the forums, not just the DD/CS. And tell him he can always come in for a quick visit, whenever he has a chance. We'd love to see him!!
Brian (IA) http://blhanel.rrpicturearchives.net.
Thanks, you're sweet! I'm just tryin' to keep awake as I study for an exam. Thought I'd find some brain food!
