Okay, since Mookie knows who our housequest is, I'll "let the cat out of
the bag", so to speak!! Sarah (csx4eva) is visiting with Mutt and me this
week. So far, we are all having a very, very great time with each other.
As a matter of fact, right now, Sarah and Mutt are out doing a little bit of
railfanning while I am cooking.

MC - Poor Gus - probably looks like a mole in the lawn [(-D] Need to put on a "tail" extension - maybe a red flag?

We got a little drizzle - that's it. Fog this morning as it is warm - about 57.

Let's see - breakfast....CW is busy this morning and not much out. YOWL!

(I am so lazy - making toast is a project - so just bread and butter while I wait.)

Well, all, I've got to go finish packing, and wander down by Union Station. Might grab a couple evening shots of the station and Light Rail before I head out. I'll catch you all in Chicago Wednesday afternoon (assuming Amtrak delivers me correctly! [:O])

Aye Chief Scoundrel. I'll have to be a bit discreet about it though. If the other passengers saw me with a protractor against my head they might think me a little "off." [;)] Of course, there are those who already say I'm WAY "off." [(-D]

Good Morning All...

My "Service Disruption" apparently involves a freight derailment in one of the tunnels on the Moffat Sub, so I guess the CZ is detouring through Cheyenne. Only problem for me will be a later departure (unlike folks west of here who will have to get on the bus).

So barring other probs I should still be on the CZ eastbound tonight. I'll wave to you all as I pass through! [8D]

Man-This weather situation is nuts. We continue to have beautiful fall days here. Colorado gets 20 inches of snow. New Hampshire has 13 inches of rain. Hope all members are OK but there have been casualties.

Chris may have picked a bad day for his trip east. The CZ status is not being report because of "service disruption"

Hang tight!

Event went well, if slowly - had a lot of competition in the area. Still, I'm quite sure we came out in the black.

No snow in the north country yet, but it's not too warm. Closed up the aunt's cottage Monday, which involved wading into the lake to bring out the pipe (lake water used for utility, drinking water brought in...). It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't have gone for a swim...

Also ran a fire call yesterday. User of outside wood furnace decided to help things along a bit by introducing some gasoline. Fortunately the flames were confined to the urethane insulation in the furnace shed - didn't get to the house. Home owner realized he made a mistake, unfortunately not until after the thing started to burn...

BH's birthday was 10/9? Even if it was a day (and a few years) off, that's pretty incredible.

A belated birthday greeting from me (and from Pat, when she wakes up!).

Off to the north country tomorrow (well, Grand Rapids, anyway). After my return, I'll probably be a little busy for a week or so, trying to get caught up and straightened out.

Good God. My body is "running on stupid" as Gen Honeres might put it. It doesn't want me to eat or at least hardly anything at all.

I have noticed that I am loosing a lot of weight and I am getting more energetic but the nausea...........I checked out to see if I wasn't sick but for so far it seems that it is simply that my body's metabolism is changing for the better.

Anybody else had this happen to them? How long does this irritating feeling last?
