outside getting the grills ready to be fired up.

Hey, 'Mutt - Let me give you a hand with that!

[espeefoamer]

Sure,I'll help you inspect that bag of candy! Remember,chocolate is not good for small children[;)].We must make sure it is all gone before they show up[}:)].

[cherokee woman]

Trainnutz, I guess you can put whatever you want in your coleslaw; and yes,
you can have your steak medium rare.

[Anonymous]

CW, can I get my steak medium rare? And a little extra horseradish in my coleslaw?
Sorry I missed lunch. Kinda busy at work (bikes to fix & trains to watch).

Definitely not the little ones - they probably wouldn't realize what the ice cream would do (at least not in time for me to see their expression). I tend to confuse them by asking them for the trick. The parents usually get it.
"Trick or Treat!"
"I'll take the trick."

Good Morning All,

Well, if we are getting some Halloween music together, may I suggest some Bach organ pieces, particularly some pieces in minor keys? Tocatta and Fugue in D minor is always nice, Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor is delightfully mysterious, and I've always loved the Fugue in G minor.

Meanwhile, I will definately have to stop in this evening for some steak. Great idea Mookie!

Well, I must be about the days tasks. Hope you all have a great one!

[jeaton]

trainutz-that's cool. I wouldn't do that with the little ones, but it might be fun to try on the high school kids that come around here.

Lots to do today. Off to Evanston to hear a presentation on the subject of scheduling track maintenance on higher volume rail lines, high school soccer game this evening, followed by a meeting with a trucker on the subject income taxes.

Coffee for now, I'll stop by for dinner to go this evening.

Jay

He wanted to greet trick-or-treaters at the door with a gallon of ice cream and a scoop and watch their faces. First the look of delight ("OOOH, ice cream!") then the look of "Hey, that's going to melt all over everything in my bag."

He was never malicious, but always mischievious.

What a devious mind - I love it!

Your wish is my command, Mookie!! We'll fire up the grill tonight, and have
steaks, baked potatoes, grilled chicken, hot dogs, burgers, brats, and for
dessert, chocolate cake. (Just in case Jay forgets to bring chocolate!)

[tree68]

That steak sounds good.

I like to bake tollhouse cookies using half regular chocolate chips and half mint chocolate chips. Not only delicious, but delightfully refreshing.

When I was a young teen I had a little reel-to-reel tape recorder that I figured out how to use as a small PA amplifier. At Halloween I put together a scarecrow with a plastic pumpkin for a head. I installed a speaker in the head, put a trick or treat bag in his "hand" and hooked the speaker up to the tape recorder/amplifier. I could see the front of the house (and therefore the scarecrow), so could talk to the trick-or-treaters. I managed to talk some of them out some candy....[}:)]

[Mookie]

supper....how about steaks on the grill? Steaks, chicken and hot dogs for wee people.

Macaroni, potato and tossed salads.

CW's usual good desserts - and..........ta da......... a toothpick!

Possibly one of the last grills of the season?

(Jay - bring the chocolate!)


Speaking of chickens......?

[cherokee woman]

Now, we'll get down to breakfast: breakfast will include this morning:
oatmeal or rice w/toast, turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy,
scrambled eggs, and of course, the fries for Matt. Can't have a meal
without fries for the Mattster, now, can we?? Just wouldn't be fair.

Lunch specials today: tuna melt, ham & cheese melt, and for anyone
who needs to be warmed up, chilli.

Mookie, need a couple of ideas for supper tonight. Do you have any?!?!

[cherokee woman]

Hey Mookie, I think I figured out what we need with your Halloween decorations
you put up: how about some Halloween music playing? Let's see, we can
listen to "Monster Mash", the themes from "The Addams Family" and "The
Munsters", and I know there's recordings of creepy, scarey sounds. Plus,
there's always my picture on my profile that will scare the daylights
out of anybody!!

[jeaton]

DROP THE CHOCOLATE AND NOBODY GETS HURT!!!

[Mookie]

############# ... ^[alien]^ Trick or treat!

Whadda you think - will I scare anyone out of treats?

[blhanel]

I'll take some of your chocolate as well- my doctor wouldn't appreciate me eating any of it here at home!

[Mikeygaw]

For those who want cider, take a trip to Amish Country here in PA... can also make a trip to the Railroad Museum of Pa as well as the Strausburg RR and the New Hope and Ivyland RR

[cherokee woman]

Willy, Mutt's uppers are fine and dandy: it's not having any lowers that's
the problem. That's why we had chicken livers tonight; so he had some-
thing he could chew softly. (Or gum to death, as he put it)[}:)]

[railfan619]

Good eveing how are we all doin tonight I'm doin fine now that my weekend has started yea but any who hope everyone has a good night and I will be talkin to you soon

[Anonymous]

Evening all
Sarah, watch out! Too much cider and you''ll end up with the "apple screamers". I love cider, but about two glasses and I might as well grab some magazines and my glasses and "set up shop" [(-D]

Chris, will contact you offline about our photo excursion. If Jay and Carl want to join in the 4 dr tour bus has plenty of room. That would certainly be an excursion.

Mook, I thought your fur coat would keep you warm. And I agree, bring on the Kit-Kats!!

CW- Bring on the CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How's Mutt's teef doing?

Well, Ed, the brooms are out. GO SOX!! (from a disgruntled Cubs fan) At least they're
from Chicago.
Be back later Willy

[Anonymous]

CW, it sounds like you have things covered for all us chocoholics (though I may snag some of those oatmeal cookies while they're still warm!). Any Special Darks?

[cherokee woman]

Carl, if I'd had chocolate chips, they'd be in the cookie dough!!

And hey, everybody, the country-fried steak is ready, and so are the
chicken livers. We ate our chicken livers here at home tonight, and
boy, were they goooood!![dinner][dinner]

[jeaton]

Chris

And it is a very large command.
