Brian, thanks for supplying more chocolate cake for desserts today.

I've finally decided on something for supper:

beef stew w/cornbread. And that will save us all room for more
chocolate cake for tonight's dessert!![C=:-)][dinner]

[blhanel]

In the interest of preserving my other ankle, I went back and removed the link to a certain Rochelle picture. Thanks for the aloe vera and the tourniquet, Chris. Now my sunburned lower lip doesn't hurt so much, and I'm not messing up the diner floor.

Anyone have a crutch I can borrow?


Chocolate cake, anyone?

It's actually on the remainder of a tree along the Madison River on the west side of Yellowstone National Park (not too far from where the eagle on the Elk carcass was). If I remember correctly, this was all part of the big burn in 1989 or thereabouts.

Thanks for the kind words![:I]

[cherokee woman]

Mookie, glad to see you back, and occupying the hammock, once again!
Hope you get better real soon, girlfriend!!

Chris, that's a great looking pic of the eagle. Is it on a cactus??

Jim, I'm very glad everyone likes the Mississippi Mud pie so much. With it
being summertime, I think we will have it quite often.

Lunch today: tuna salad sandwiches, bologna sandwiches, hot dogs,
and open-faced turkey sandwiches w/mashed taters & gravy.

Speaking of Kevin, what the heck has happened to him?!?! Did we unintentionally
hurt his feelings, and he decide to leave us?!?! Sure hope not. But with him and
Dan MIA, guess we'll just have to use the couch for anyone who comes in and
wants a nap, and the hammock is occupied by Mookie.

Hmm, getting kind of crowded in here, with both a couch and a recliner. Guess
we'll have to place several groupings of two tables together, to make more room
in here.

And Jim, thank you for supper tonight. Even though I haven't decided what
we're having tonight yet.[:I]

Good Morning All

CW [^]

Your supper is on me errr the diner tonight for starting the new page.

That Mississippi Mud Ice Cream Pie sure is going over well. We may have to start doubling the order. [:D] I will definately be in tonight for a piece. That is, right after I get off from my normal shift and the 4 hour overtime call. So I might even start the coffee since it will be about 3 am when I come in.

I see Bergie did a little "dusting" today already. Funny, it is one of the same people who caused him to work overtime last holiday weekend. Some people kids just never learn. [V]

Well here we are already in June. Many of the forum kids are out of school and having their summer break. Awwww yes, I remember summer break, errrr, at least I THINK I do. [B)] [8]

Hey Mookie, glad you are back.

You know, I was just thinking (I do that upon occasion you know [;)] ). You and I have not sent anybody to the couch in ages. [:o)] [:I] [8)] [:X] [:p] With Kevin not showing up much anymore we don't have to. [:o)] [:D] [:o)] And let us not forget about Dan. [;)] [8D] [:D]

Well I must go check on some other things.

Everyone Have A Great Day

Everyone Take Care

[CopCarSS]

Good Morning to you all,

Hope you all had a great weekend. Didn't get up to Georgetown like planned, but should be able to make it next weekend. After the weekend here in Denver (with high's in the low to mid 90's), a trip to anyplace with a higher elevation will be nice (I think highs ranged from the 60's to 70's in the loftier parts of the state).

Brian, I just happen to have a first aid kit here. Help yourself to some aloe vera and a tourniquet.

Mookie, glad to see that you've found your way back here. Let me know if you need anything while you're recovering in the hammock.

Well, must be off. Unfortunately I came back to a BIG plan that has to be bid by the evening today.

Hope you all have a great week.

TTFN!

[blhanel]

Ouch, that hurt...

Hey CW, got any tourniquets?

[Mookie]

Press Release:

Due to a medical emergency, the local diner cat will be out of service for awhile. She had to have brain surgery for confusion and clutter. More brain cells were added, the clutter was drained and she should make a complete recovery very soon.

Meanwhile, her doctor has advised lots of hammock rest, a diet of milk and a little chocolate cake and no more vacations for a long time to come.

Her family told doctors they found a small box in a corner of the kitty litter box. It contained what looked to be human skin, from possibly an ankle. Doctors are investigating but aren't sure they can identify the source/person.

Mookie had no comment.

[blhanel]

Good morning, just stopping in to drop off the chocolate cake for today/tonight! Time to get to work now...

[JoeKoh]

[cherokee woman]

Good Monday morning, everyone!! Hope everyone had a great weekend,
and won't be strangers around here this week.

Coffee is on, and the orange juice is made.

Breakfast this morning: pancakes, sausage, eggs, and sausage gravy
with biscuits.

I once heard a cure for a sunburn: Hit your thumb with a hammer. Doesn't do anything to cure the sunburn, but you don't care anymore...[:p]

[blhanel]

I'll take a leftover chop, thank you- been a busy weekend here, and I have a nice sunburn to show for it. Blue Angels, and other acts as well, were spectacular as usual, but watching them fly over without applying sunscreen is very stupid. Maybe tomorrow night, if I feel more up to it, I'll upload the pictures to Snapfish or Flickr and link a few to here. Got a few shots of UP transcon freights on the way down to Davenport as well. I even pulled a Bergie, took a couple of shots of an engine consist I was pacing while driving...yeah, I know, [D)]

[tree68]

Didn't get in yesterday as I was dog-tired when I got back from working on the railroad (it's not so much the work on the railroad - two trips is only 40 miles - it's the two hour commute each way) and I crashed when I got home.

Headed down today for another couple of runs, but the total passenger count at departure time for the second run was zero, so we put the train away and went home. It's still early in the season...

I do have to get into the NORAC book so I can work on taking the rules test. Being a car host is OK, and I do get to do some "real" railroad stuff from time to time, but it'll be a little more fun when I can really do some of the stuff Houston Ed does everyday. Of course, that amounts to conducting a couple of run-arounds each trip, but hey, you still get to tell the engineer where to go!

Our primary engine, NYC 8223 (the original, too) is out for some brushes, so we're using an SW1 (have I mentioned that before?). It has it's work cut out for on some grades, even with just two cars on the drawbar...

I'll just have a burger. All that other stuff sounds good, but...

[JoeKoh]

will take some pie into work tonight.we were taking the winding backroads of willams county to matthews cousins graduation party today.

[Scuta]

I guess I showed up just in time for some Misissippi mud pie! Yum![dinner][:D][8D]

[mudchicken]

OK - hoop it up and I'll catch it on the fly-by..........[:D][dinner][:D]

[cherokee woman]

All right, Sunday Dinner has been ready for two hours now.

WHERE IS EVERYONE?!?! I'm trying to keep everything warm,
without the pork chops getting hard and dried out.[C=:-)]

And I'm waiting for everyone to be here, so we can cut into this
Mississippi Mud pie!![dinner]

[Anonymous]

Joe started the page so he gets the next free diner. [:D]

Congrats Joe. [:D]

Good Morning All

It is sunny and warm here today. No rain in sight, and low humidity are in store for today.

Yesterday was fairly busy and I expect as many trains today. It sure makes a big difference when I can get an early start on the weekends.

Well today is my Thursday, I can't wait for my Friday at 11 pm. [:p]

Duchess has been outside for about 2 hours. I just brought her back in and now she wants to go back out. Arggggghhhhhhhhhh.

I worked 4 hours overtime Thursday night / Friday morning and still have not caught up on sleep from it. Someone has been getting MY beauty sleep, trust me, I can tell. [B)] [8]

Well off I go. I have a few things to do before going to work.

Everyone Take Care

[cherokee woman]

Good Sunday morning everyone! Trying to wake up, working on my first
cup of coffee.

Joe, thanks for putting the coffee on, and making the juice.

Breakfast this morning: blueberry muffins and strawberry muffins.

The pork chops, mashed taters, gravy and watercress salad will be
ready about 12:30, 1:00. Starting to prepare the Mississippi Mud pies.

[JoeKoh]

juice and coffee are made.still waiting on the paper from some of the carriers.
stay safe
joe

[switch7frg]

CW <>>> Fine and dandy with me I can already taste the tender watercress shoots just thinkin' bout that supper. With all the rain you folks got, is your feet webbed yet??
Just a small threat of rain over towards Payson . I guess the only rain we will see is on tv. See ya' later . Cannonball

[cherokee woman]

Sarah and everyone else, I actually got going on cooking the pizzas early!! So,
Sarah, here's your extra large, extra cheese pizza!

Everyone else, come and get whichever pizza you want (or a slice of each, if you
so prefer.

Not sure if we'll go do any train watching this evening, but definitely planning on
it for tomorrow afternoon. Been too busy this afternoon, doing other things around
the house.

[JoeKoh]

well matt and i made new friends in deshler and had a great time. will take some pizza to go lots of train action. and csx #1 spirit of west virginia is heading south from deshler.
stay safe
Joe

[CSXrules4eva]

CW your going to pop the pizzas in at 7. OK well I think I'll put an early order in. Extra Chesse Large pizza. I don't think I'll eat it all tonight but, I garantee you that over 6 slices will be eat up!! Oh can I have a Sprite to go with that too??

Well, it's rainy here in Philadelphia, PA. Last night we had our first LIGHTING storm in a long while. It was BEAUTIFUL!! Espeacilly, when your looking at reverse lighting over a hill. Lighting also hit the Cox communications tower only about 5 mins from my house. That bolt of lighting was WOW!...........................

Today, lets see a little later on I might head out to the Schuykill River banks in West Conshohocken, PA to do some "Flash Flood River Watchin'"

[cherokee woman]

Cannonball, we'll have your supper request tomorrow for Sunday Dinner, since
it looks like patrons will be on the sparse side this afternoon, evening.

I've got the pizzas ready to pop in the oven, starting about 7 p.m. EDT. The pizzas
on the menu tonight:

1. cheese
2. supreme
3. special
4. goetta

I've made two extra large of each one.

[jeaton]

Just stoping in for a quick lunch on whatever happens to catch my fancy. The July Trains arrived this morning, just a few more hours to go on the last major project getting the place ready for the graduation party next week and the weather could not be more perfect if I had made it myself.

Might pop back in later, but it will probably be well after dinner time. Have a good one.

Jay

[CopCarSS]

I won't be around either as I have a graduation to shoot. So if you could stick a slice of pepperoni in the fridge for me, CW, I'd be appreciative.

Brian, enjoy the Blue Angels. I've never seen them, but have caught the Thunderbirds a couple times. The precision is simply dazzling.

Well, have a couple runs to make this morning, and then I had better make sure all my batteries are charged and memory cards are cleared.

Hope you all have a great day.

TTFN!
