Cool! My middle name is Louis, so I was wondering if there was a coincidence there.

One of those sausage/egg/cheese biscuits sounds really good right now, with OJ to wash it down!

Good Thursday morning, everyone. Well, the Delta Queen won the steamboat
race yesterday. The Belle can't win every year.[:(] Today is the Pegasus Parade,
with Muhammad Ali as grand marshall. Today and tomorrow, from 11 to 1, I
think, he'll be at his museum, signing autographs. The only way I'll see him is
on TV. This is one week I won't be downtown, with all the people in town for the
Derby. It's too crowded down there.

So far, it's a beautiful morning here, with no rain. Sun is trying to peak out from
the clouds.

Breakfast this morning: breakfast sandwiches: biscuits with sausage, egg,
cheese, ham.

Joe,
We go to the SKYLINE that is at the Richwood exit (I-75)in Boone Co. Ky at least once or twice a week.

Here is my menu that they know well there.
Regular Burrito w/onions
Chili Cheese Coney no mustard
Side of sour cream
And a Dr. Pepper in to go cup.

You can't beat the taste of Skyline Chili.

And what about them Redlegs!!!!! Looks like the new ownership might have helped.

Nope - bit far to the city (over 250 miles as the crow flies), but it did turn out some prodigious smoke! Saw the news on it. A retired FDNY deputy chief gave a lecture here today and he mentioned it, too.

Ten alarms would bring at least 50 apparatus (plus some special equipment) to the scene. News reports indicated 400 firefighters on the scene. Fireboats also responded. Fifty apparatus would clean out just about every firehouse in my county, and most others as well...

To both Brians, and everyone else: I did remember to put some corn on the cob
on the grill, and I did make both baked beans and porknbeans. There is also
some cottage cheese (yuck). Like I've said before, I'll fix some things for every-
one else, that I absolutely will not eat!! And there are plenty of hot dogs on
the grill, along with everything else.

Brian (IA), that's o.k., I almost have frozen corn in the freezer. Country girls do
know how to freeze fresh corn on the cob to have in the off-growing season!![:D]

Brian (KY), we're supposed to have rain coming in sometime late tonight, early
tomorrow morning. Possibly thunderstorms. Sure do hope that they're not too
bad

CW,
I would like to hav a couple hot dogs if you don't mind.
If you would have happened to have made some baked beans, I'll take some of that also. What about cottage cheese? That goes good with a grill out also.

Looks as though we are in for a decent rain overnight in our area. They are calling for ours late tonight into the morning with possible partial clearing.

Later,
Brian (KY)

I'll vote for baked beans!

Randy - Lincoln is going to rebuild their viaduct - the heart of the east/west traffic to and from town. It will be a major headache - because people won't know how to get from point A to point B without driving way out of their way and because people won't know how to get from point A to point B without driving way out of their way.

Got peanut butter for that jam?

Afternoon all.....

A little wet here this afternoon, we had some light rain move through here in the past few hours, supposed to clear up and be nice for the forseeable future.

I got my first look at FedEx suspensions last night, the plumbing and wiring on these looks like a spaghetti factory exploded, wires and air lines everywhere! I've been told it takes two people 45 minutes to an hour to plumb and wire one unit, sounds like we have to do nine of these a night.

The city of Madison is rebuilding the main east-west artery out the east side of Madison, and part of this project involves replacing a bridge over a river. The other day, they had to reduce traffic on the remaining portion of the bridge (the north half has been demolished already) due to damage found on the bridge. Oops. Now it's just one big traffic jam over there.

Be in at around 3am for late dinner.

Mike, [#welcome] back to the fold!! Also glad you liked the lunch menu for today!!

I'm getting ready to fire up the grill in a little bit. Haven't seen any more supper
suggestions, other than Mookie's "troll". Sorry Mook, but I'm fresh out of trolls
right now (and don't want to find any lurking about in here, either)!! Do think that
I will add corn on the cob to the grill, though. Would any one like any baked beans,
or would you rather have porknbeans?

Glad to see most everyone has made it in today! Here's the lunch menu for
today:

I've got the beef vegetable soup warmed up, and ready to dish up for lunch;
you'll have your choice of BLTs, grilled cheese, tuna salad sandwiches to
go with the soup.

Looks like it's going to be a very sunny afternoon, so maybe we'll grill out for
supper tonight. Let's see, I've got some pork chops in the freezer, along with
some brats, hot dogs, burgers, and a few steaks. Anybody else have any
suggestions for something to put on the grill?

Her degree is in Religious Studies- she plans on taking a year off from education (17 straight years of studying has her burnt out), and then enrolling in Seminary to become a Lutheran Pastor. We fully support her career choice, however she's going to have to find a way to finance Seminary without our help (they do give out some full-ride scholarships, so we're praying for that). In the meantime, if her boyfriend finds a good full-time position, they may make the need for our assistance in her life totally go away (after the wedding bill).

Big Muddy - hug them both for me! If you give Andy pill in meat/cheese, won't you have to do Gus, too? Just so the whole world knows - I have a picture of the driver and one of Gus and Andy on my desk at work! Met them once and immediately fell in love!

Tree - I am going to say it is probably a GE - we seem to run a lot of those. For awhile all we saw were SD70's, but now we see a lot more GE's - all shapes and sounds.

In fact here lately, we have been running just about anything with wheels on it! Some of them are starting to look a little worse for wear, too!

MC - you go ahead and travel, but always leave a feather in the dinner so we know you are ok.

Brian(IA) what is her degree in? Going to Grad College - hmmm Dad? Maybe my daughter the doctor?

This moving here at work has me all tuckered out. Going to visit the hammock for a few hours of rest. Then to the swing for a few more. Do you know - I can sleep just like a train crew person - learned to put head down while sitting straight up and nap for at least 30 min before neck starts complaining! Wonder if I can qualify to be engineer on that premise alone........????

I'm outta here!

Good Wednesday morning, everyone. The sun is shining, and it's about 50 out-
side. Little cool, but I'm sure it'll be warming up very soon.

Coffee is on, and I've got the juice made. Orange pineapple this morning.

Breakfast is: your choice of oatmeal & toast, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled
eggs, sausage gravy w/biscuits, Raisin Bran, Cheerios, or corn flakes.

Sure is quiet in here. Guess I'll turn on the layouts, and listen/watch them run
while I'm working in here.

Brian, give my congratulations to your daughter, please. I know she is very,
very glad to be through with those finals.

Sarah, our 22-year-old daughter is feeling the same way you are, only more so- she made it through her last three finals today, and just has to finish her term paper and hand it in tomorrow, and she's done with college![yeah][tup]

Now we just need to find her some gainful employment for the summer.

Notice to Miz Mook - One of your orange engines got loose and ended up here in northern New York! I wrote the number down, but left that at work, and I'm off until next Tuesday, so unless I hear it involved in an EC-1 (track warrant), we're stuck with it being a GE...

MC - some cheese usually does the trick with my pup. Just enough to wrap the pill(s) in. She gets a taste of cheese almost daily, so doesn't pay much attention if I hide something there.

I don't mind Miracle Whip - then again, I grew up with it - it's about all Mom used.
