And for their free meals today, since it's Friday, fish is on the menu: You have your
choice of: cod, perch, haddock, trout, and catfish. We've also got the prerequisite
fries, slaw, and, if anyone wants them, hushpuppies.

Dessert today: I've been busy making oatmeal cookies, and there's plenty of them,
along with about 1/4 sheet cake of Joe's birthday cake from yesterday.

Rain hasn't come in yet; if anyone's getting anything right now, it's sprinkles. As far
as I'm concerned, it can just keep sprinkling, or maybe a nice, gentle rain would be
much appreciated. We sure don't need any more severe stuff thrown at us. Good
thing, though, is it's keeping the temps down, so far. Our high today is to be only
84 degrees.

Good Morning All

Man I would . . . l o v e . . .some 50s at night time and 70s for day time highs. The electric company would not like it, BUT I WOULD. [;)] I could go for all summer long that way. [:)] <Wishful thinking>

Poor kitty, must have not seen the newly installed pet dryer yet.

On the other hand, I think the chicken should stay away from it. Chickens and heat usually do not fair well together. [B)]

Well I slept late this morning. That is something Duchess usually does not let me do. Remind me to give her a special treat today. [;)]

Today is Tuesday/Friday. Yuck Yuck. [B)] I like Monday/Friday must better. [:)]

The people who usually give me trace info are not available right now. But last night just before midnight the steam engines were just south of the Ft. Worth area.

I can not believe that no one has seen them and posted any shots of their journey on rails (sort of anyway). [:D] I am trying, with help of course, to keep everyone posted as to where they are. Anyway help is appreciated.

Everyone Take Care

[locomutt]

Mookie; was hoping that you would have "dryed" out by now,if not,
you may be resembling Family Circus for today! [yeah]

Joe; don't have any Advil around here;will Naproxen (generic Aleve) work?
That's about the only thing that seems to work for us against 'ole Arthur'[:D]

Chris; finally figured out (I think) and left a comment in your guestbook.[:)]

[railfan619]

Good morning everybody how is everyone today fine and dandy. I hope well it's finally friday and it kinda feels like a cool fall morning here the temps are in the upper 50's to lower 60's with real low humidity today which feels really good but anywho. hope everyone has a good day and I will be talkin to you all later.

[jeaton]

This is kind of nuts but 53 degrees here on this almost midsummer morning. Going up to low 70's with sunshine today and same thing tomorrow. Totally amazing as not only does the weather fall in place for two days of long planned railfanning, but the AC stays off and I may actually be able to now afford the activity.

For just about everybody else, I guess it is stay dry, get wet or find a cooler spot in the shade, whichever would meet your needs.

Chris - Ah - "The Eye of the Beholder"?

Joe - Heard that - hadn't gotten to my map yet to see where it all is.

No rain, no tornados - just humidity and in the 80's today. (for both)

[JoeKoh]

Morning Everyone,

Had some big time storms yesterday. Did get a couple tornadoes to drop. Unfortunately they did a little damage to a home under construction, but fortunately no one was injured. Didn't get to go chasing yesterday, but we shall see what today brings (though it looks like the severe weather will probably be way out northeast and into Nebraska...watch out Mook!).

Meanwhile, I finally have gotten the whole of the Yellowstone trip up. The pictures, complete with comments are up at:

http://www.pbase.com/copcarss/yellowstone_06

If you guys and girls get a chance, would love to know what you think. Also, it might be nice to have my pictures get a couple page hits (currently, the pictures Chad sent me to host that Ed took of the Chinese steamers are by far and away generating the most page clicks).

Well, must be on my way. Hope you all have a great day!

TTFN!

Chris

Woke up to the local news stations talking about that this morning. Not sure about
the location in Miami, but they were talking about the Sears Tower in Chicago.

News was the FBI arrested a bunch of people in Miami who were alleged members of a fundamentalist Islamic group that was planning terrorist attacks for those locations.

[tree68]

Appears that it may not have been specific (ie, this day, that time), but the beginnings of the plot....

Rain didn't get this far north last night, although I did see some lightning off in the distance. The river could use it - the people who control the level miscalculated and it's lower than most would like it. On the other hand, I saw evidence in a hay field of a tractor getting stuck in a wet spot, and that's not normal for this time of year, either...

OJ and a blueberry muffin, SVP.

Good Friday morning, everyone. Not sure if I'm late or not: ISP was acting up, and
didn't want to let me on!!

Coffee is on, and juice is made. We've got orange, apple, and orange/tangerine.

Breakfast this morning: all different kinds of doughnuts, and muffins.

Weather report: we've got that confounded rain coming our way again: from the
south this morning, if I'm remembering the weather map correctly. It's so warm
and humid here this morning.

Happy birthday, Joe!

[tree68]

Got nice and muggy here this afternoon after a cool and cloudy start. Joe's thunderstorms are headed more or less in this direction - we'll have to see if they make it this far north. As long as the weekend is reasonable.

Looks like the hammock is drying out.

[railfan619]

Good afternoon everyone how are we all doin. IT's been a very long day for me and it all started when my company gave me the wrong directions on how to get out to the waukeasha plantenarium. But anywho how was everyone else's day hope it was better then my day. OH well that's really bout it from this end hope to be talkin to you all soon or in other words have a good night

[cherokee woman]

Our supper of pork chop abracadbra w/ "smashed" taters is now ready. Also have
some green beans and mac & cheese to go with it.

Everybody must like the birthday cake: I see that 1/4 of the sheet cake is missing!!
That's good. Want everybody to have at least one slice of Joe's birthday cake.

Hmmmmm, does anyone else have a June birthday? Enquiring minds want to know!!

Afternoon everyone......

Was a sticky one here yesterday, a lot nicer today and it's supposed to be even better tomorrow, just in time for the weekend and the NTPA Grand National pulls in Tomah. Going there tomorrow with a friend, it'll be his first time to a pull this big, and my second time. Sure to be a great show.

I see the damp kitty is still trying to dry herself off, saw a fire engine going the other way on the way in, must be headed to another fire.[:D][:D][:D]

Had a minor fiasco last night at work, upper management forgot to tell us of a change in tire pressure on an order, so had to run over to quality about every hour or so to raise tire pressures on the units. Not my idea of a good time.

See everyone later.

[jeaton]

See that Jim has made a deal with my local grocer. Arkansas tomatoes at good price. I am sure there is a half bushel on the way to the diner. Get that PFE car number and we can trace the move and make sure the load gets iced on schedule.

[chad thomas]

[bday][bday][bday][bday] Joe !!!!

[cherokee woman]

I know it's not quite lunch time yet, but the subs are ready, and in the cooler. Have
set out individual bags of chips on the counter, and the two chocolate cakes are
ready. One of the chocolate cakes is a full size sheet cake. So we should have
plenty of chocolate cake for everyone!!

CP2816, thank you so much for the cinnamon rolls this morning. That made an
extra special treat for today!

Thanks to every one who replyed to my post bout the fires in Az. This area has many very pretty green belts like the mid west . It is not good to see them burn, not to mention the homes of folks and wildlife . Happy birthday to all who have them today ,and good blessings to all of you. Cannonball

[jeaton]

Joe

Happy Birthday. And thanks for sending over the pictures the other day. It is obvious that Matt is already on his way to becoming a trainmaster checking out the operation of those new engines.

Good Morning All

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE

I hope it is a good one. [:D]


Man, it sure has been a rough week for the kitty, [:0] and today is only Thursday, Monday for me. We better find her and stick her in the newly installed pet dryer. But fur(st) [;)] [:o)] a nice gentle wash and fluff, then to the dryer. [:)]

I think we owe Railfan619 a dinner on the house for starting a page. [:p]

The Chinese steam engines ARE finally on the move as of last night.

I have to work tonight. [:(]

Well, that is all the news I can think of for this morning.

Everyone Take Care

Mook,

You look like somebody just hosed you down with a 200 GPM fire hose. I think you had better go find the hammock and hope for some sun!

Meanwhile, [bday][bday][bday] Joe! Hope you have a great one!

Well, high is only going to be 79 today, but there's a good threat for some nasty weather, especially out southeast. Might have to jet a little early from work today and go storm chasing.

Well, hope you all have a great day.

TTFN!

[bday], Joe!
