Ok, you guys are dwarfing me. I just got my 1st star today. Wahoo. At what levels do you get the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc...?

No, 2 comes in at 100, no.3 at 500, no. 4 at 1000, no.5 at 2000, I don't think they've thought of a no. 6 threshold yet.

Randy, just "call in" your food orders, and we'll get them to you all out in the
fields.

And I think someone is still trying to get Bergie to come up with a design for a
6th category. Someone suggested a tiara for the Mookster; I think it should be
a silver & gold steam loco (for the steam train fans) and a blue & yellow diesel
loco for diesel fans. Just my [2c] worth.

[JDV5th]

Thanks for the info. I'm finding this forum thing is not a very productive use of time, but it is interesting.

[doghouse]

Is there a chance we can get baked ham on the menu some time soon? Not that compact,pressed stuff, but a "real" bone in ham. Maple smoked even. I'de buy it if need be. And for you're 5000th post, you'de get an eagle.

One thing we won't claim is that this is a "productive" use of your time. But we do promise you'll learn a few things, and have an enjoyable repartee with people of like interests.

Ham does sound good - maybe some yams on the side...

[JoeKoh]

hey JDV see you made it to the diner.come in anytime we are open 24/7.
Carl congrats on 2000.since people want some ham how about ham beans and cornbread for supper? we'll just put some in the crock pot that way it will be good for those late night snackers.
stay safe
joe

[blhanel]

Sounds good, I'll take double helpings on all of those!

[locomutt]

Carl,Congratulations on getting to 2000 posts.......[bow]
I'll toss a extra bag of popcorn in the microwave,and make
sure we have plenty of Mt. Dew for the celebration!!!![:-,][swg]

[JDV5th]

Later everyone. I guess I'll be back for breakfast. Eggs over hard, sausage and pancakes, right?[8D][^]

[CSXrules4eva]

Carl congrats on the new starr and your 2000th post.!!! Who does it feel to have 5 stars?? Pretty good huh? [bow]

CW did I hear something about Sweet CORN this morrning????? If we are haveing some tonight I think I'm going to need to have 5 ears (spelling). The corn is getting pretty dry up here in PA due to the lack of rain. That's good for those who are growing livestook corn but, for people like me that need to have some people corn (sweet corn) it's not that good. I love my PA corn. I think I'm going to have to make another trip over to my friend's farm and pick some more corn before it goes by by.

Speaking of rain it rained here in PA today!! I think we were getting a little portion of Ophellia (spelling). It's due to rain tomorrow too. This morning it got to the point of were people couldn't drive because the rain was comming down so hard and fast. It was so dark out too, I mean it really did look like a twister was comming. Looking down into the valley from Conshohocken, PA I could see the huge storm clouds and thick fog. It was pretty neat though I was alomost late for work this morrining.

[blhanel]

Too bad it's past its prime season, or I'd volunteer to treat the diner to IOWA sweet corn- best in the world.

Evenin' all Been awhile, and it's pouring down rain tonight, so a good time to catch up. If you miss a couple of days you've got 10 pages to catch up on!

Chris, LOVE the sunset elevator pic. I can "see" a picture like that but I don't have squat for photog knowledge so I just have to put them in my digital brain. But unfortunately, due to my misguided youth and short term memory loss, my memory card is hard to restore. LOL ( maybe it's just old age) Anyway keep em coming so I can live vicariously thru your camera lense.

Joe, I've given up on beating you guys. What 9-6 for the year? Well, cards are in town and we seem to do well against them. Go figure, we can beat the best team in baseball but no one else.

Making change: interesting sidebar. In my mothers home town of Kalona Iowa there is a grocery store run by an Amish family. There are gas lights and no electricity. Their young kids ( 8-10?) run the old hand crank registers similar to the old adding machines. All they take is cash. NO plastic or checks. The kids make change and count it back without batting an eyelash. If the world were run like this it would be so much better. Nothing p****s me off more than going into WallyWorld and handing some twenty something cashier a $50 bill and watch them get that "deer in the headlights" look.

JDV-[#welcome] You can be yourself in her without being judged (in whisper) unless you're a cat hater.

Carl- A 5 star General!!!! Way to go! ( from a lowly 2 star sargeant) Congrats!

CW and Mutt- thanks for thoughts and email. Have just been swamped around the house. Am going into winter hibernation prepatation mode. Lots of wood to cut split and stack. Flowers need cutting back, all the usual. Mama and me are taking part of next week and weekend to fly out to Portland OR to nieces wedding and try to squeeze some alone time in. [swg] Been such a hectic summer, we've kind of forgot about us.

Mookie, glad to see you tought the noob about proper "kitty etiquite". Am not a cat lover per say, but no animal deserves that except the "one who wrote it". Nuff said.

Will stop in later for acold one before bed. Over and out Willy

[railfan619]

Brian,we'll still take some of that good sweet corn,it has to be
better than the usual stuff from the supermarkets.
And if push comes to shove;we'll freeze some and have it
when it gets COLD outside.[:)][:p]

[CShaveRR]

Hmmm...

I have five stars.

Sarah had five ears.

Someone said that I was a "general".

Does that make Sarah a "Kernel"?

(Sorry! Most of my posts have been far more intelligent than that, but it's getting late.)

[JoeKoh]

good morning
yes its friday!!! juice and coffee are ready to go.I picked up some cinnamon swirls for breakfast too.
stay safe
Joe

[JDV5th]

Sounds good, serve me some up, with coffee of course. Happy Friday. I can stop in here now that I checked my fanstasy football stuff. Yes, another love.
Have a good one.
JDV

[cherokee woman]

Joe, thank you for getting the cinnamon swirls for breakfast.

Lunch and supper today: baked ham with all the trimmings:
green beans, fresh corn-on-the-cob, potato salad, and deviled
eggs.

Desserts: freshly made apple pie, peach pie, & oatmeal cookies.
(Plenty of ice cream to go on the pies).

[Mookie]

BC: Groan....and before my coffee, too....

SJ

[mudchicken]

Corn-gratulations Carl (I think)....

Still intend to fly into your backyard in 8 days (If I can get all this Ben-Gay out of my sun-scorched feathers - gak![xx(])

Frost on the ties this morning and 75 degrees this afternoon, finally!

Please set a 55 gallon drum of Diet Coke out on the fly-thru window please. (Yeah, the little window 15 feet above the drive-thru window, Tree uses one of his ladders to get way up there....)

Dirty Feathers

[jeaton]

Carl I have heard that all those stars stuck on the collar are pretty weighty. Watch your posture so the back does not go out.

MC Actually, none of the drive through units out here have the high drive up windows, but they will hand up pop using trainorder yokes.

Is that why Mookie was always on the other side of the fly-thru window?

Yoke & String replaced by Burro Crane?

I owe, I owe - It's off to work I go.[{(-_-)}][{(-_-)}][{(-_-)}]

Willy,

Thanks for the kind words. That was the end result of chasing on the Limon Sub that yielded nothing...apart from that shot. I do like it though. I'm kind of partial to the "classic" wooden elevators back in the midwest, so I'll probably try to get some shots of them when I'm back in October here.

Thanks again!

Chris

[Modelcar]

...."Frost on the ties"....Did I hear that here this morning....It's too early to hear such stuff already...burr....Hate to think of winter upcoming. Well, it's warm here yet...that's one consolation.

[Modelcar]

....Chris...Very nice sunset photo....I have a very similar one taken here about a mile from home standing on the crossing looking NW on NS Frankfort line...Believe it was shot about early June some years ago and mine is the golden sunshine on the rails to infinity actually past some elevator buildings {and a real train going away from me}, and the sun right above the tracks...making it a silhouette shot.

[tree68]

Sometimes you don't realize the brilliance of a photo until well after you've taken it.

Very nice. Would look good in large format hanging on a living room wall.

[CShaveRR]

Fly-through window isn't two far-fetched: I know a farm on the road to Rochelle that has a mailbox mounted on a pole about that tall. Labeled "Air Mail", of course!

You wouldn't believe what my back has to go through regularly (and what it's capable of doing on occasion).

A week from tomorrow should be good, MC--I'll probably be working in the PM, though.
Keep in touch.

Mook sounds a little agitated--I think she was looking forward to capturing some cinnamon squirrels, and found those sedentary rolls instead.

[cherokee woman]

The ham and all other dishes are ready. So: Come and get it!!

[JDV5th]

Sounds better than my leftover sloppy joe. It's either that or school hot lunch (not!).

[zapp]

Frost!!!
It's still hotter then blue blazes down here!!!
I'll swap!
