Mookie,

Please keep those WINDS contained to that area of the Mid-west !!
Had to go out and do several errands today;had the distinct feeling
that I should have had some extra rocks in my pockets !!! The 40 degree temp.
isn't that bad,but the 30-35mph wind gusting to 50+ is a bit hard on
slender people that don't weigh that much....it's sort of a pain on arms and
shoulders grabbing and going from sign post to sign post !![%-)][sigh]

Carl,while you're in the basement,see if you can find a copy of a
certain book a couple of us have been talking about.[:-,]

CW,soup and a grilled cheese sandwich sounds real good right now.

Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!

Carl, to help you feel better, how about a bowl of homemade chicken noodle
soup? And a grilled cheese sandwich. (By the way, that's what is for lunch
today, folks: along with beef vegetable soup,

Mookie, supposedly, we're not to get nothing but possibly some snow
flurries Thursday. Still, I have the snow shovel and a bag of ice melt
handy.

Supper tonight: pork chops fixed in the Crock Pot, with brussels sprouts,
or brocolli, or lima beans. Dessert tonight: banana pudding.

Joe, didn't get any peppers or onions today at Produce. All they brought was:
bananas, summer squash (which I'm taking over to my neighbor), and

salad mix.

We aren't going to get too much in the form of liquid substance (I'm reluctant to say the four-letter S word), but it's raw and windy out there.

Today I'm buried in the basement, well under the weather (in both senses of that phrase). Will have to surface and get out a little later--I promised.

Looks like Chris and the CZ are running over 5 hours late and still working their way through Nebraska. Sounds like the man on the point may only be able to hope that there are tracks somewhere under the snow drifts.

It has turned colder here, but forecast says that most of the snow has been wrung out of the storm.

All youse people east of Nebraska - DUCK AND COVER.

In the land of no weather - we missed the whole shebang. We got maybe an inch of snow - and tons of traffic accidents! People just don't know how to drive slowly in this town. What little snow we did get turned to ice immediately on the streets and bingo - right in front of our house! No one hurt, but the noise raised the hair on my topknot.....

60 mph winds out of the north - and no warnings of hurricanes or tornados. Just normal Nebraska wind! Not too far west of us was inundated with snow and wind - and it is all moving that-a-way! Guess living in a hole in the ground (Lincoln) pays off sometimes! [^]

Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Sure hope the Mookster is all right, and
hasn't gotten snowed in, or snowed under! After all the rain yesterday (thank-
fully, we never got the thunder & lightning), our temp right now is about 46,
and will be steadily falling througout the afternoon.

Breakfast of turkey bacon, sausage, gravy, biscuits, hash browns is set out
on the breakfast bar. It's Produce Day, so I'll see you all later on.

I just made a terrible mistake tonight. I went to take a nap at around 5:30 amd I just got up at about 8:15 EST. I shouldn't have done that because, I have to get up at 7:00am tomorrow for school. It looks like I'll be tired again for school. OPPS.....

It was unseasnibly warm here today, when I walked outside this early morning it was about 60 something degrees out. However the roads were covered in what I like to call "morning dew" so it was somewhat slippery out. There were a lot of accidents due to that. I didn't need to warm my truck up!! I saw on the weather forcast that it is suposed to get really cold and rainy tomorrow.

I think I will have some of that beef stew abnd corn bread. Actually, I'll have more than one peice of cornbread please.

Well, guys, there's plenty of stew and cornbread, so eat up!! If you leave
here with an empty tum-tum, that's your own fault, not mine!![C=:-)][}:)]

The rains have cleared out from here, and guess the temp is start slowly
dropping now. Believe our low in the morning is to be 40, and our high
tomorrow is supposed to be 45 degrees.

I have the feeling that the seasons will change while I'm at work. Unfortunately, that's a deterioration of conditions I'm lookin' at.

Cher, BLTs and tuna sandwiches both sound good. How about one each for the road?

(Said road will soon include a new restaurant alongside--my favorite place for getting BLTs! Of course, it already has my favorite hot dog place, my favorite burger drive-in, my favorite... I'll probably never get to work, at that rate!)

Then, Mookie, beef stew is on the burner, and cornbread is in the oven.
Be sure to stop by, and get two to-go containers to take home with you.

We are currently under a tornado watch until 7 p.m. tonight, and a severe
thunderstorm warning until about 4 p.m. (I think that's what I head on the
weather radio, and the local news). Guess it's about time to batten down
the hatches.[V][:(]

CW - I may just take a bowl and lay down beside it. Get all the warmth I can from it, but not promising I will eat it.

Oh, of course I will eat it! Never pass up food or naps - never know when you will miss one.....

Breakfast menu: sausage, biscuits & gravy, turkey bacon, scrambled eggs,
toast and jelly.

Lunch menu: BLTs w/fries, tuna salad sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs,
along with a nice hot bowl of the following soups: tomato, potato, and beef
vegetable.

Evening All [:)]

Thursday at work was unreal. Friday, was somewhat a repeat. I sure was glad for Saturday and Sunday when I do a different relief job and could have some normal work. [B)] [8] [;)]

Well Bergie, did some housecleaning as was noted in a previous page, but I just now saw it. I have been too wacked out this last 4 days to spend much time in the forum. Now we have an extra peg for a "hat" if anyone needs it. [;)] With this colder weather many people will need a place to hang their hats when visiting the dinner. (Chris knows I am not referring to him either. [:)] ) Now maybe there will not be so much stupid political nonsense to distract us from the T R A I N S . [:D]

I think I will break out in singing the song, "Oh Happy Day" [:p] [:)] [:D] I know I should not be so mean over it but the same nonsense over and over and over and over and over was just tooooooo much. However, I know I am not alone in being a little joyous over it, OK, enough said, moving on now. [:)]

My "Hungry Man Turkey Dinner" was sure dissappointing. I sure missed not being able to go and see my family. [:(!] [:(] [V]

Saturday and Sunday's weather was somewhat nice, until it started raining. [V] We had poodles everywhere, and water too. [:o)] [;)] [:D]

Well Duchess wants some attention so I must go.

Everyone Take Care.

Tom- Glad to hear that things are going well, and you and the family like your new home.

Chris- Looks like you may only be traveling through bad weather. Of course we can't say for sure, but it looks like your choice of train may prove to be most wise. Keep us posted.

Good Evening All,

Rainy, cool day here. Managed to head out to Clinton, and work my way east back to Rochelle with my cousin. Took some more shots that I'll be sure to upload when I get back to Denver.

Speaking of which, I'm on #5, the Westbound CZ tomorrow afternoon, so I'll catch you all on Tuesday morning. Hopefully, I'll be back to a more structured schedule, and can spend more time around the diner here. At least for a couple weeks before I head back to Chicago for Christmas/New Years.

TTFN!

Hello!

Sorry I've been away for a while. I've been very busy at work and home. Is now been 1 year since my move from delaware to wisconsin and we love it.
My wife is now 27 week with child ( due in early march). It will be our second. My daugher is 2 and full of energy.

I haven't seen much in the way of trains except of the stray W&S that passes through the woods.

I hope everybody is well. I will try to make it back more often. Happy Holidays

Well, beautiful day for a train ride - crisp but clear. Good meal, nice stop at a winery (with samples), and plenty of scenery. Also took a trip down to a nice little town on the Sound, had to cross a two track BNSF line to get to the ferry dock, but alas, no trains showed up while we were there...

Packing up and heading east tomorrow, and by the sounds of it, it'll be nice and warm when I get there!

If anybody's hungry, there's plenty of roast, taters, carrots, etc. left. It's on the
warmer bar, so help yourselves. And be sure you put your dirty dishes in
the dishwasher.
