...Speaking of someone turning, 90, I have a 2nd cousin who turned 100 years old yesterday. Her family is having a 100th birthday celebration for her tomorrow. Just think of the stories she could tell all of us!!

Finding someone who can remember the roaring 20's, and the stock market crash is getting to be a rarity. And just think, she could probably tell us about those new-fangled diesel locomotives!

Congrats to your cousin, CW!

I have somewhat strange taste in music for someone my age. I listen mostly to records cds and tapes since the quality of music on the radio seems to have gone down hill lately. The types of music I like are old country (not the new stuff that is almost pop music) oldies (beach boys, supremes that kind of stuff) and my favorite is old time fiddle![:)] I also listen to some strange types of folk music and some ethnic music. I really dislike pop music, rap, and rock music. Oh yea and of course I listen to train music, my favorite is Utah Phillips.

Hit 99 here in Aurora today...now it is 95 at 5:49 p.m. and dropping (gee, maybe it will get all the way down to 75 by midnight, hey?).

In the 1950's an d 1960's at least you could understand the words of the songs, well, most of the time anyway!

emmar, you are my kind of child!! I also like the OLD country music (Roy
Acuff, Chet Atkins, Minnie Pearl, Loretta Lynn, Grandpa Jones, Kitty Wells;
as well as all the music from the 50s and 60s.

Also made some potato salad to go along with the ham and green beans.

Hmmmm...now I know why I only go home in November and December! I can deal with cold...99? When the temp. gets that high out here, all I have to do is head to the high country and the mercury drops! There's still snow on the mountains (though it is disappearing pretty quickly).

Maybe I should go climb a 14er. Every time I do that, I usually get snowed on, even in July and August!

You've got AC in the car when you're hangin' out at McClure Rd., right Eola?

[Modelcar]

CW....How about music from Bobby Vinton....of same era you speak....beautiful and happy, love songs....

[emmar]

Hi everbody what's for breakfast? I think that I jinxed the food here by saying it was good, because now it is bad to inedible. Today the options were fake hashbrowns and french toast. Yuck! I decided to go with cold cereal. Hope your breakfast was better.

[nanaimo73]

Is the coffee any good Emma ?
Today is June 25.
We are half way to Christmas![:)]

[cherokee woman]

Yes, Modelcar, Bobby Vinton is another of my favorites. Blue Velvet, Roses are Red,
love any song by him!

Saturday brunch is now being served: turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage,
biscuits & gravy, and cantalope.

Supper: almost weekly Saturday pizza night.

NO! NO! The stuff under the glass cover on the counter is just an example of what we serve here (IIRC, they may well be plastic!!). Your meal will be cooked fresh.

Of course, since we are open 24/7 and the cooks aren't always around, you can always feel free to step up to the grill! Bear in mind that you may have to serve the next customer, too...[:D]

I don't know if the coffee is any good because I don't drink coffee. I will probably find out tonight when my Dad gets here (he drinks a ton of coffee). I was wondering do they have Starbucks coffee in B.C.?

Larry,you're just now finding out about the 'rubber' chicken ?[:0]

Emmar,sometimes the food is so fresh,you have to smack it!! [swg]

Joe,glad you all are back in, safe and sound.
Pizza is ready,when you all are.[dinner]

[cherokee woman]

Anybody want to join me for some nice, cold ice cream?
Seems like a good way to cool off some before sleepy time.

[CSXrules4eva]

yes I could go for some ice cream right now, because it's still hott!!!! I'm going to have a custerd in a cone with rainbow sprinkles. Please.

[jeaton]

Finished the last leg of our trip to Georgia today and got home late this afternoon. This weather is upside down. We had a week of great weather in North Georgia. Temps in the sixties at night and highs in the low eighties. It was so hot coming through Indiana today, I was afraid I might have to ice down the car. Heavy storms just to the west of us coming our way, but very slowly. Lawn does need some water.

Forecast says more like this for the next week. If this keeps up, I am going back south to find cooler weather.

Jay

[mudchicken]

Got any Gatorade in this place? 55 Gallon IV Drip? Just back from 4 days of working in Western Colorado and the week almost got longer. UP dumped a coal train this afternoon in the east approach to Glenwood Canyon, west of Dotsero (Blair Ranch, aka ALLEN). What a mess, main line and siding blocked, a bridge (347.12) partially destroyed, and coal cars on the ground at every angle. Amtrak at Glenwood Springs (#6, California Zephyr) being turned around. You will see this in Monday's newswire safe to say.[|)][|)][|)][|)]

[miniwyo]

I think I have the oddest array of music. I have Chris Ledoux, Garth Brooks, Toby Keith and that sort of music, Redneck standup(Larry the Cable guy, Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, and Roy D. Mercer, as well as a robin williams CD) And then Show tunes, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Annie Get Your Gun, Cats, etc.

[CShaveRR]

You know, even at this late hour, a thin strawberry shake sounds good. I've been pretty good about avoiding ice cream this year, but for some reason the water and soft drinks aren't satisfying right now.

It has cooled off outside tonight, but there's not much wind so the house is warm (we've never had a/c). I'm in the basement, which is nice and cool. I'm also late. Had a real problem with being caught on the wrong side of about four different trains on the way out of work. Ask Sarah--she was "with" me, in a sense. She got a chance to hear a pair of good old ex-CNW SD40-2s bringing a stack train back up to speed.

[JoeKoh]

carl on the way back home it was good to stop at a local shop and get a shake.have run into same problem myself. whose going to come by first train 1 or train2? juice and coffee are ready to go.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Sunday brunch will be assorted fresh fruit, and doughnuts, donuts, however you
want to spell it. Think the heat is affecting the spelling part of my brain.[:(]

[JoeKoh]

cw
have some lemonade.I made some in large containers.
stay safe
Joe

[jeaton]

Add a big container of tea, crank up the ice maker and save some lemon wedges for the iced tea.

I am sure that everyone knows that the DD&CS malts and shakes are real and do not come from one of those dumb shake machines. (Darn you heck Ray Kroc!) You may not realize that the ice cream in all the ice cream items is from Graeter's in Cincinnati. Even if ice cream is very bad for your health, one taste of Graeter's and you would decide it's the way to go.

Jay

[mudchicken]

You're torturing me again Jay. I'd settle for UDF as well as Graeter's out here.

Tree: Leave the rubber chicken out for Mookie. If she starts to think that chicken tastes like that, a small piece of my hyde might life to see another day.[:D][:D][:D]

[cherokee woman]

Joe, you are a lifesaver, helping out and making large containers of
lemonade!! In the summer time, nothing quenches the thirst like a
big ole COLD glass of lemonade[:D][^]

Jay, I've got plenty of milk and cream: how about we crank out some
homemade ice cream: we can do vanilla, chocolate, strawberry,
etc.

Supper tonight will be fixed inside the diner, under air conditioning in
the kitchen; but will be served out on the covered patio for brave souls
who like the heat.

Supper will be: fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, green
beans, and corn on the cob.

[CSXrules4eva]

Oh yes I want to thank Joe for makeing the delicious lemonade. I love it!!!!

I missed breakfast today :( becuase, my mom decided to keep me up until 5:30 this morning, so I was able to hear the birds chirp and I was able to see a bit of a blue sky before I went to bed. Then about four hours later Carl desided to call me and take me railfaning over the phone, we got two SD40-2 ex CNW units on the point of a stack train. (Carl I'm jealous you got to see two trains, one that wasn't on the line up durring church.)I get to look at the father and the building only in my church.) Ok then I got up at 12 pm and then started to work on my paper in which I had a writers block.

Man is it hott out here. I didn't go to my softball game because, of the heat. I'd rather stay in the house or go railfaning. I went yesterday and didn't see a darn thing except for some white tailed deer.

CW I can't wait for din din tonight!!! I'm going to eat it up!!!! I think I might be brave and sit out on the patio, see if I see any trains. hehehehehe.

Ehrler's here in Lou. was about as good as UDF in that neighborhood.
If they were still in business,an "Orange Cow" would go extremely well
right now with this heat!!

Mudchicken,you might want to be careful about saying that to/about the
Mook; rumor was,that she is making a "mudchicken vodoo doll".[:D][}:)]

[cherokee woman]

Hope everyone enjoyed supper. I know it sure was good! I'm full (at least for
now); but will want some of that homemade ice cream before bedtime!

[jeaton]
