NOOOOO! No pastry today! I had/saw enough pastry yesterday to keep me going for a while. Lots of crafters, food, fireworks at dark, and no serious injuries/illness yesterday, so it was mostly a nice day to ride the bike around town and look important. (Well, we are important, if anything does happen). Plus I got to enjoy the parade a couple of times! Gotta love those pipe bands. The "marching" jazz band is always fun, too...

Today I mow the lawn and kick back. Back to the grind tomorrow.

Been a bit on the go.

On the way back from Cincinnati on the 1st, I saw a couple of trains setting at Remington, IN, dropped off I-65 and got this shot of an ex SP SD40-2 Tunnel Motor.

Went up to the farm for a couple of days, taking a detour via Green Bay. These are shots inside the main hall at the National Railroad Museum. It was my first chance to get a close look at a Big Boy. Just awsome. Steps provide access to the cab open for a good look.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everybody! I know I'll be sitting in my somewhat-cool house. If it gets too sticky, I'll switch on the A/C. I've got a small pile of pictures to put up on my site, plus finish redesigning one of my photo albums. This website redesign seems to take a lot longer than I originally thought!!! Considering I started it in January...

Good Sunday morning, and a belated [bday] to Mark (fuzzybroken!!

Coffee and orange tangerine juice are ready. And if anyone wants some, there's some fresh
lemonade in the fridge.

Sunday brunch is now ready. You've got your choice of: bacon, sausage, biscuits & sausage gravy,
scrambled eggs, hash browns, oatmeal & toast, cantaloupe, watermelon, grits (for those of you
who like them).

Sunday Dinner (Supper) will be ready around 5 p.m.: pork chop abracadbra (made with chicken
noodle soup).

Desserts today: a chocolate cake and a rhubarb pie is available for our birthday man today.

Everyone have a great day, and "stay safe" today.

Hey look, now we're on page 739!

Today was a good day. Went to Dad's house for our birthdays -- mine today, his Monday -- and went by Mom later, where she had rhubarb cake! YUM!!! So I enjoyed a nice big, all-the-way-across-the-pan piece of it. [:D]

But now I can't sleep, so time for a few posts and a little work on my website. Earlier today, I downloaded a new style for my 3um that actually kinda looks like the Trains forum! The way it looks now anyway... (BTW, my "3"um is sorta like a forum, but I couldn't very well call it a "4"um on Fuzzy World "3", now could I?) [swg] Hopefully I can get that one customized to my preferences, and make it easy enough for my low-bandwidth members as well.

So, now I go and enjoy my barley pop and work on redesigning some of my photo pages!

Put us a large Goetta pizza on order. We're headed out for a little while and will be pretty hungry when we get back.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend.

Randy- should be here in Denver. The schedule says I got volunteered to inspect a construction project in downtown Denver for a couple hours a day the next two weeks. If you get here after Tuesday, it should be dry and back in the '90's.
I'll be in Alamosa Sun, Mon , Tues. Flying into Colorado Springs Saturday. If your down Alamosa way ,I'll be around the depot I think .

Well is it Wednesday/Saturday, my hump day. One of these days maybe I will get a bid in job with Friday actually being Friday. [^] I look forward to that day.

Nothing much to report today. Our weather will be in the low 90s and we seem to have lost our nice breeze from the last few days. [:(]

I have turned over a new leaf. I am making myself do at least 15 minutes of housework BEFORE I can get on the computer each day. [:0] This morning I unloaded the dishwasher and loaded it, then ran it. Every little bit I do like that before my days off gives me more time to do more meaningful cleaning on my days off.

Well time to get ready for work.

Mmmm, breakfast sounds and smells good. I need a good one before I hit the road here- gotta move our daughter up to Dubuque. Picked up a HUGE rental van last night and have it loaded to the roof, but will still have to make two trips. TTYAL!

Good Saturday morning, everyone. Looks like it's going to be another great day, so you all take care when
you're out doing whatever you have to do today! Want to be sure you all make it safely back in here tonight
for our Saturday Pizza Fest!

Saturday brunch is ready on the steamer/warmer bar: bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, biscuits, scram-
bled eggs (made sure they weren't any of MC's kin). The steamer/warmer bar will be kept well stocked
until about 3 p.m. EDT.
