Afternoon All [:)]

CW [;)]

2 BLTs and a very large glass of D. C.

Well the next two days are very important for me. We are having qualifying for "something". [:D] [;)]

Well got to eat and run. [:p]

Bye All [:D]

[cherokee woman]

Mookie, thank you ever so much, for making up a breakfast casserole for
tomorrow. Know you'd much rather be at work than at home, having the
new carpet put down. Gee, couldn't driver stay home tomorrow, and then
you could driver Millie to work! (Sounds like a good suggestion to me)[}:)][swg]

Supper tonight: fried fish fillets, mac & cheese, cole slaw, fries. Dessert: frozen
juice pops.

Jim: glad you found your BLTs in the fridge.

Yup, Rocky Mountain Columbine. It's actually a little late in the year for them, but if one looks for them in wet, cool, shady spots, they can still be found.

I can't actually say what they smell like. I've never smelled a Columbine before. That's just weird. Oh well...headed to Rocky Mountain this weekend. Maybe I'll see some up there, and can determine if Columbine are highly stimulating to the olfactory senses.

....Ventured out east over the past long week end and would you believe I saw live steam....In action...!! But not a railroad engine....It was an early '20's Case Traction Engine connected to a Thresher machine {actually doing threshing}, at an Antique Tractor Festival. Rating on engine was 15 to 45 horsepower...depending on variable factors. It sure was interesting to watch it set there and run that thresher machine. Operator indicated he was running 125 psi. Decades ago....I saw a machine similar as this one actually doing threshing at a farm....Probably in mid '40's.

....Rain, rain....We're getting it now...{about 3 pm}, here in Muncie....Radar was showing a line of heavy {really red stuff}, coming at us and it's here and we're getting plenty of it right now....Will check the rain gauge after it passes.

[TrainFreak409]

Howdy all, say "Hello" to the new working me![8D]

I really have no idea why the quality of that is so bad. I would post it from ImageShack, but it is down, so I'm going through My Space.

I start working at Bose on the 22nd! Right now, it is time for paperwork...

[cherokee woman]

Quentin, sure hope it comes down this far, so we can get some of it!!

Supper is now being served. Anyone hungry?!?!

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[CSXrules4eva]

CW I 'm hungry too!! I Oh fish fallets (spelling) and mac and chesse sounds good. Fish and mac and chesse happen to be two in the list of my favorite foods becides bread and corn.

Mookie, I'm very jealous you got some rain and I didn't. Ya know for the past week now they have been calling for "MAJOR" thunderstorms and flash floods. Yea right I'll beleive that when I see it. It's about 94 degrees here but, it's about 70 something inside my house.

Carl, taking the car to work is ok. OK?? I have to take my car 10 miles to Conshohocken, PA from Philly eveyday. You know sometimes I don't feel like driving to work I wish I had it as easy but, no since Conshohocken means "Beautiful VALLEY" (key word) ya know there are way too many steep grades out by me. I can't even go 3/4 of a mile without runing into a 14 percent grade.

Lets see what happend in Philly today?? OH Terell Owens got suspended today from the Eagles, because he was disrepsectfull to Andy Reed and he didn't show up for autograhp sigings. He also took a day off from football camp and did some work outs by himself when the team had pratice. The rest of the team was upseat with this. UM.... the Flyers got two new defence men Mike Rathje and Derian Hatcher. My favorite hockey player of all time J. Roenick got traided. OH and last but not least I'm very proud to say that Philadelphia was decalsred the number 1 hockey town in the United States, I guess that explains why I played ice hockey for 9 yrs.

[Modelcar]

CW.....Just checked the rain gauge from our down pour 3 hrs. ago and it indicates we received one inch.....but downtown Muncie got 2.67 inches and flooding...{take note, Sarah....since you seem to like flooding}....I'll bet those drivers trying to get out of flooded cars aren't liking it very much about now. We've several low places, and streets with high curbing that fill up with situations like this and really cause trouble. Out here, outside the city, we're just glad we got the rain....It was needed.

[Modelcar]

.....Forgot to mention...It's gone now....Sun is shining.

[coborn35]

YES!!! I got my first digital camera today!! A HP Photosmart 4 megapixel!!!
I am starved after working all day.

[railfan619]

If anyone likes that sort of stuff (and I'm pretty sure lots of the members here do), there's lots of it in Mount Pleasant, Iowa during Labor Day weekend- known as the Old Thresher's Reunion. They also have a steam train running in a loop around the grounds.

Got home this afternoon a little off the advertised. CSX had traffic, some slow orders and a good 10 miles of 15MPH due to signals out, so we were two hours late out of Cumberland. Wound up that late on the handover to NS at Pittsburgh, but didn't lose any more time. On the Chicago Line NS dispatch did great job of weaving us in and out of traffic. The could put some of the "best" freeway drivers to change.

Bad new is I think I am coming down with the flu, so I need a quart of chicken soup (tell MC it's from artificial chickens) delivered while I take two asprins and crawl in bed. Just slide the soup inside the door. Don't want anybody to catch what I have.

Jay

[Modelcar]

....Jay: Sounds like you just traveled west on CSX main from Cumberland, Meyersdale, and next would have been Garrett...Just this past Monday I was on an overhead bridge there over CSX and waited only about 10 min. and a freight came out of the east and I got several pic's of it as it passed....The same rails you would have been riding on.

[locomutt]

Jay, CW keeps some chicken soup in the freezer. She's taken it out, and put it
in the microwave to defrost. She said to tell you she'll have it ready in a couple,
so open up your bedroom door: your soup's on the way.

Chicken soupsicles!

Evenin' all
Mutt and Joe, Wouldn't you know it, one day after I burn my Cubs hat, they decide to go postal on the Redbirds. Should've burned that (insert expletive) hat at the allstar break.

Jay, Maybe you're just experiencing "train lag", a common ailment among Amtrack
riders.If anyone can feed you back to health, it's CW.

MOOK- YOU PEEKED!!!! Well, at least you didn't get offended. You can't believe the women that come up to me and start ranting and raving when I wear that shirt. All I can say ( in my best Foghorn Leghorn voice) "It's a joke son, a joke"

Brian, Yes the Old Settlers reunion is great for anyone into steam. Been there a couple of times. MAMA (note importance of itallics) lives in Kalona IA not far from there. Have you ever been to Boxcar Hobby in CR? Need a scouting report on quality of shop before making the trip.

Well, alittle over 2 inches in the bunny rain gauge out back. More is expected tonight! I finally figured out how to **ss off the RAIN GODS. Have tried rain dances, planned camping trips, fishing trips, family reunions to no avail. I have a 88 Bronco II MUV. That's a multiple use vehicle. Work truck, fishing truck, band equipment hauler, and train chaser. I WAXED it for the first time in 2 years last night. And woke up to 2 inches of rain this AM. Whatever works I guess. The Hostas in the yard are smiling. Swear to God!

Well, that's all the news that's fit to print from the sandbar tonight. [zzz] [zzz] Willy

Are you kidding? It's the only shop around here worth going to. Lots of HO stuff- I think half my layout investment has been spent in there. Let me know if you need directions!

We've been getting some much-needed rain here today, hopefully just in time to keep my new landscaping plants and trees alive. I've got 1.3" in the rain gauge since last night.[yeah]

[cherokee woman]

Good Friday morning, everyone! Sure will miss Mookie today; but here is her
breakfast casserole, all ready for everyone to eat! Also have the juice and
coffee ready, along with some sausage, biscuits and gravy ready for Jim
when he comes in (you know, have to have what the owner of this very fine
establishment loves to eat for breakfast on hand).

Lunch today will be fish sandwiches, w/fries and slaw; salmon patties w/
mashed potatoes.

Larry: could I borrow an IV wcoffee in it, this morning? Can't seem to get
my eyes open this morning.

Hold out your arm - I'll see if there's a 14 needle in the box.

Speaking of needles - sort of on pins and needles here. After a little miscommunication my daughter and her mother got together in London earlier in the week, and got together again after British Airways cancelled all their flights out of Heathrow due to a labor dispute. No word on if and when she'll be able to catch a flight out - there are some 70,000 travellers affected one way or another. At least she's not camping out at the airport...

[CShaveRR]

I might be ready for something warm later--it's raining again this morning. The car is unavailable to me today, so it's either walk to (and from) the train or bike. The forecast says it will clear up somewhat by noon, but the weather around here usually follows the forecast by a few hours.

[jeaton]

Feeling a tad better this morning, at least enough to say "tanks". Exhausted now, time for a nap.

Jay

[rvos1979]

(yawn) Afternoon all.

CW, I'm having just as much trouble getting going today as you, and my weekend started today! Would you by chance have any Jolt cola in your cooler? I think I need the caffiene boost from that.

Installed some rollup doors in trailers yesterday at work, which involved drilling into a stainless steel frame. We only went through about 22 drill bits doing five trailers.

It pretty much rained off and on all day yesterday, not sure how much we got, but it should help out the corn a bit, it was starting to curl the other day. WeatherBug shows 35 hundreths, I think we got more than that, though.

Willy, I have a friend who has an older Case thresher, it's really cool watching that in action. He had his wedding pictures taken in front of it and another friend's John Deere 820 diesel.

Before I forget, CW, may I suggest a fish fry for dinner tonite? I'll bring the walleye.

Randy

[Modelcar]

.....Just changed oil and filter in my John Deere Lawn tractor and the hot sun and humidity just about did me in...Water running down my face and into my eyes, had to come inside to wa***hem out in order to see....That's the weather in Muncie here a bit after the noon hour...So, now we'll wait until a cooler part of the day to do mowing...Clear hazy sunny skies here and hot....! And hotter still...gas prices: 2.559

[tree68]

Just rained here, and I see a severe T'Storm watch to the south. Might be a tad damp, but we do need some of the wet stuff. As long as it doesn't rain too much on my sisters' (both of 'em) vacation here for the next week.

That nap sounds good right about now...

[cherokee woman]

Randy, you're on: fish fry for tonight. Not bad, having fi***wo nights in
a row, right? After all, we're all told to eat more fish in our diets! We're
just helping everyone with their health.

Larry, thank you ever so much for the coffee IV drip!! Sure did the trick.

Jay, glad you're feeling a tad bit better today.

Haven't heard the official current temp; but our indoor-outdoor ther-
mometer is showing 98 outside right now. We're supposed to have
a 30-40% chance of rain tomorrow through Monday. Hope the per-
centage increases: we sure could use a good steady rain to bring
down the temps.

BRian, could use directions off of 380. It's been 25 years since I've been to CR. Did alot of drag racing in my misguided youth on the main drag downtown, but I probably could'nt find my way there now. I grew up in I.C. Willy
