Now why in the world would the censor block s-p-r-i-n-k-l-e-i-n-g? [%-)]

[chad thomas]

I think I'll go with peperoni, sausage & lots of olives, with just a s***leing of jalapinos.

Jim, you must not have read my post this morning: lunch is roast, taters, carrots,
etc.

And the supper menu will be pizza, because that's what our birthday boy asked
to have for his birthday. Now, all I need to know from him, is what kind of pizza
he would like tonight. Or should I make the different ones I have for Saturday
nights.

Mookie[:O] I'm surprised at you!! I know you know that "no touching" also means
"no licking": that's the same as touching. You're touching it with your tongue!![:)]

[cherokee woman]

Good Thursday morning, everyone. Coffee is on, and the juice is ready and in the
cooler. We have a birthday to celebrate:

[bday] to Chad!! Chad, hope it's a very good day for you. To help celebrate your
birthday, this morning, we are having nice, hot cinnamon rolls, which are
just now being taken out of the oven.

Lunch today will be: roast w/potatoes, carrots & onions cooked with the roast,
green beans, and cole slaw.

Birthday cake is already out of the freezer, and thawing nicely. (NO ONE IS TO
PUT ONE FINGER OR PAW ON IT). It's just to look at, until Chad cuts the cake
later today!

Then, for supper tonight, Chad has requested PIZZA.

Everyone have a great day!!

The fire near Sedona got some rain yesterday ., on the already burnt part. But the rain has arrived .Tonight we get another storm . they start by Flagstaff and move to the southwest and follow I -17 south, on the eastside. Then slide down hill to Phx . then die. The 50 deg. temp is nice.
Chris>>> when I see a deserted home I wonder what the place could say if it talked, or where the folks are. Cannonball.

Supper is just about ready for tonight. Give it about 1/2 hour, and you can chow down

Dessert tonight: big bowls of ice cream.

OK then....How many inches apart do the rails have to be before the wheels start falling on the ground on their own. Bonus question: How many inches apart can the rails be and still haul passengers and hazardous stuff while still being legal. (maximum & minimum)....[C):-)][C):-)][C):-)]

Reminds me of the story about the short line owner who was entertaining the president of a major railroad. It somehow came out that the entire shortline was slightly out of gauge, wide. The shortline owner pointed out to the class one president that his railroad wasn't as long as the class one, but it was wider.....[:D]

I remember seeing a thread once giving out that info, and I think the Class level of the track comes into play as well. Hmm... 4'-10" or 4'-11" max seems to ring a bell.

I play live trivia with a couple friends of mine every Tuesday evening at a local establishment. Last night we were tied with another team after the last question, so we went to a tie-break question (where the closest answer is the winner). The question we were asked: "In inches, what is the standard gauge for American railroads?" Ha! I almost did a lively Irish Jig! See, just another bonus of being a railfan!

Bang!

anyone want some water? we got plenty of it, lots of flooding and more rain coming. Some rivers are expected to hit their second highest flood stage ever recorded, and it's supposed to crest tomorrow afternoon and evening

Sent it out west Mikey. Today (Wednesday) there are 32 fires burning in 8 western states. I am more than sure someone there would appreciate a good 1/2 inch (or more) rain.

Guess it's about time to post lunch menu for today. It will be "cold cut" day, with
your choice of potato chips, fries, or onion rings. The cold cuts will be:

1. bologna sandwiches
2. ham & cheese
3. deli roast beef

We've got plenty of lettuce, tomatoes, and whatever condiments, etc. you'd like on
your sandwiches.

Today's desserts:

grape or strawberry Jell-O w/fruit cocktail in it
strawberry shortcake
cherry cobbler w/ice cream

Mornin' all.

The Adirondack RR would be glad to ship some of the wet stuff out west, especially the stuff that washed out part of the ballast in Otter Lake, and who knows where else.

Still waiting for word on what that will do to operations - it cuts off the "Utica train" since it can't go all the way to Thendara.

The Thendara train can probably run, unless there are other issues further up the line that I haven't heard about. Runarounds are out, though, as part of the washout involves the passing siding at Otter Lake...

Kozzie and James: It is nice to have you guys back in here. Make sure you stop into the diner more often. Just be advised that your meals might be as backwards as your toilets! (e.g. you might be getting breakfast for dinner)[dinner]

Carl: Thanks for clearing up the cyclonic issue. Your bi-hemispheric daughter doesn't happen to know what would happen should one flush a toilet right on the equator, would she? BTW, be sure you jiggle the handle on the door and come in here more often!

Cannonball: Thanks for the comment on the picture. For some reason I'm drawn to abandoned things (buildings, railroads, cars, etc.). Always take the opportunity to shoot them when I can.

Brian: I'm pretty sure you're right about the cyclone/hurricane thing. However, never having lived anywhere near a coast, I really haven't studied them as much as supercell T-storms. I do know that very rarely a tornado can be anti-cyclonic (which is relative to one's hemisphere). I assume the same would be true of larger weather phenomena if the situation was just right.

Mikeygaw: If you happen to see Sarah out watching floodwaters, tell her that she needs to come in here and get a bite to eat. Can't floodwatch on an empty stomach.

Jay: The real question before us all is this: Which way does the water flow if one is looking into a mirror while standing on that hypothetical ceilling down under? Or...if someone flushes a toilet in the middle of the woods down under....

Eastern Iowa is in relatively good shape (the corn will be waist high by the 4th of July), but we certainly won't object to running the pipe to the dryer folks west of us...

[locomutt]

Kozzie & James Welcome Back!!! Always glad to have you here.[:)]

Jay,I think Mookie is right,you do need a rest;you've been inhaling too much
steam & cinders recently. If you don't want the hammock,maybe Ia. Brian
will let you use the recliner.[:D]

Actually Mook,Carl was checking to see if the "fridge' door was shut tight.

Mook,that test sounds like something CW needs to do;is that with an orthopedic
doctor,or somebody just "pulling your leg"?!
And RIBS for breakfast?![%-)][swg]
(ducking,the Mutt can't run fast anymore)

[Modelcar]

Kozzie: Glad to see you back and active on here....Our info circuit wasn't as good to understand what is happening down under with you absent. Sounds like you really did a bunch of traveling with the moving experience {back and forth}, as you mention.
Always look forward to your interesting postings.

Joe - it was spine, not brain......
