Been there...

Brain much faster than fingers (usually), so brain and fingers have occasional disconnect. Factor in "fat finger" syndrome, and who knows what you'll end up with...


Jim & Larry,

Don't have fat fingers; but brain does seem to go a little bit faster than fingers at

I went railfanning on Saturday to a railfan weekend along the old PRR Bel-Del and this is what I saw (I'm posting this on both the Trains and MR boards), first we rode the New York Susquehanna & Western (NYS&W) RDC M1 a couple miles and got dropped off in the middle of nowhere and sat there for a half an hour for NYS&W 2-8-2 #142 to head by with two boxcars, a ballast car and a caboose, we then rode back on the RDC and saw Norfolk Southern train 24V with primer (unpainted) C40-9W 9871 and C40-8 8308 (still in CR blue). NS train 19G came next with C40-9W 9698 and C39-8 8209, then NS train 213 came through with four GP60's (7112, 7143, 7100, and 7121) and another train with C40-8W 8429 (still in CR blue) and SD60 6699. We rode rehind the 142 and a motorcar we saw C40-9W 9833 and a C40-8W still in CR blue. We rode the M1 again for a photo run-by along the Delaware River (3 to be exact, two from the steamer and one from the M1) then headed home. Pics are coming in a day or two! [:)]

Macguy,

Maybe it's a "whole lot of nothing" to you. But we talk about anything and everything
at the Depot Diner & Coffee Shop. It lets us all get better acquainted. Do you have
a problem with everyone getting better acquainted?

Sometimes the old, familiar stuff is just the ticket.

I'm gonna have to start walking down here, though. Gotta do something to work all this good food off.

Devil, as in deviled eggs, Walter.

I'm healthy enough, but also know that I'm packing too much excess baggage. I'm sure that some of the stuff I eat is not good for losing weight, but I've been surprised at some of what I've been able to get along without. Additional exercise would help, but I'm having too much fun in this virtual diner and elsewhere on the computer. However, we spent an hour today picking strawberries (not very good...toward the end of the season), I mowed the lawn (the only power our mower has is when I push it), and walked about a mile to home from the train station.

No problem, it's just funny reading through the pages and pages of chit chat.

As I was reading through all I could picture was the Seinfeld four sitting at a coffee table chatting away. [:)]

Would you at least settle for "box alarm" chilli[?][:)][:p]

Coffee Shop Chat:

From the "This Day In History" website:

June 23

930 A.D. The world's oldest parliament, the Iceland Parliament, is established.

1868 Christopher Latham Sholes patents a "Type-writer," which Philo Remington later turns it into a more practical typewriter.

1969 Warren E. Burger is sworn in as Supreme Court Chief Justice by his predecessor, Earl Warren.


Now Mookie knows who to blame for that dadblasted typewriter. [}:)] [;)]
