Joe, take a couple of to-go boxes with you, and give one to a fellow worker.

And a tip top o' tha marnin' to ye all,

Well, it was in and around 90 in the Denver Metro area yesterday, and the forecasts tell of snow possibly by Weds evening! 'Tis been said that one does not like the weather in Colorado, all one needs do is wait 15 minutes or drive 15 miles. Sometimes I don't think that's much of an exaggeration.

CW, a big steamy bowl of Oatmeal sounds like just the ticket this morning.

Well, must be off to the salt mines, or wherever it is I try to work. Have a great day everyone.

[cherokee woman]

Okay, I've seen the Mookster over in several of the other threads around here,
this morning. So why haven't we seen her in here?!?!?! Or is she just lurking
around, or catnapping in the hammock??

I'm getting ready to go out for awhile, so will go ahead and post the supper menu
for tonight: Something easy and quick, since I'm going to be gone for half the
afternoon: will warm up all the leftovers from the yesterday (fried chicken, green
beans, mashed potatoes, etc.)

[JDV5th]

Missed breakfast, must have been working too hard. I'll take the leftovers for lunch. Better than what I've got.

Hope you all had a good weekend. Enjoying some nice Michigan weather and another Lions loss.
JD

Re: Lions, Bears, Vikings, Packers.

Tough year. I am not sure they could win playing each other. Keep the faith. The NFC Central will come back long before the Cubs get to the World Series. (Why I dropped my interest in pro sports and got back into the railroad thing).

Have a good one.

Jay

[JDV5th]

Lions losing doesn't break my heart. That would have happened long ago. I just think they could be a top notch team (especially on offense) if they had a better qb. Way too much talent to be finishing at .500 or worse.
Sorry, [#offtopic][banghead]

[Mookie]

Skidding in for lunch - !

Just had time to get a post in the forum and my work arrived in the dump truck!

Gotta few items - Mookie's Mutterings if you will.

Talk of a mountain lion in Omaha again. They must like the night life up there....
They should come to Lincoln - it is a whole lot quieter here.

Driver took me to Plattsmouth Nebraska - where the "confluence" of the Platte River and the Missouri River is...(they meet there and it is the mouf of the Platte) Pretty brilliant of me isn't it?

Saw some BNSF on the main line - must have been dispatchers lunch time - they were all waiting to get into Lincoln. 3 different trains - all sitting quietly and enjoying the football game, I bet.....

See JDV's posting on the Lions - substitute Nebraska Cornhuskers and coach instead of quarterback....But our Defense is Awsome!

Off to do some more damage somewhere - will take lunch with me - let's see....

little mc, little tater salad, little parsley from Tree, little cake from CW.....mmmmm

Well, everything seems to be as railfan619 would say just fine and dandy here today. I've been away from the diner a bit due to lack of time but, now I'm back. [:D]

I missed breakfast today but, I will take some of those left over green beans, fried chicken, and mashed taters for din din tonight.

Today begins my two week vacation before I go back to school Oct 17. I'm kind of looking forward to going back to school but, than again I don't want to do any homework or long term projects.

[JoeKoh]

here to take more leftovers for work tonight.good stuff.am looking forward to a long weekend coming up.
stay safe

hey guys and dolls I have several diverse questions about railroeding I would like to ask. So I shall ask ahead and see what cmes about. First I am planing to keep my electrical wiring above board hanging from poles I plan to use 24 or 26 wire at 15volts to power accessorys. Do think i will need insulatators,if so what kind can I use buttons or something similar. Next I am looking for a model telephone truck,green in color,pick up sized with a custom desgned body also avan of similar color both of o gauge Danny Boy

Yeah, I hear you![:)] In fact, I just finished a long term project- [;)] I hate homework and projects too..[banghead]

So, mind if I stop in for a late dinner, I'm hungry[dinner]

[cherokee woman]

I always make enough to last several meals, so everyone is welcome to get
what they want to eat, if it's on the menu, and if I have it fixed. So, as you all
can see, there's plenty of fried chicken, mashed tater, green beans left.
Also, plenty of white cake, yellow cake, chocolate cake, apple pie, peach
cobbler, etc. So help yourselves.

Ooooohh Chicken! YUM[dinner][dinner][dinner]

[cherokee woman]

Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Well, this is Produce Day. Getting ready

[locomutt]

Andrew, Produce Day is the day that CW goes and gets fresh produce.
Where do you think a lot of the fresh produce in the Diner comes from?

Well,she probably could "produce" a "corny" song.[:-,][(-D]

I'm sure the folks over on the MR forum will have a complete set of answers for you if you post your questions there.

Even though wood is a decent insulator, the prototypes always used glass or ceramic insulators, even for the low voltage signal lines...

And they say cats land on their feet - obvious Mutts do too... [:D]

How ironic - the radio is playing the Stones Start Me Up....and I just got my coffee...

Mookie proof hmmmph....no such thing. Got good teef....especially when something or someone is between me and the chocolate cake. [}:)]

PS - Hey Mooks, BN GP-9R 2144 running around here. You lose something in Lincoln? (Attached to ex- ATSF SD40-2 6300, makes for an odd switcher pair....The SD40-2 was litterally dragging the GP9 around in 5300 ft. elevation's thin air. Lot'sa smoke, not much work here at MP 0 [zero, 542.6 miles from Lincoln] at 20th Street/ Denver)

[jeaton]

Mookie

You might have read the topic on the article about trains in The New Yorker. The author rides a northbound Powder River empty with a crew from North Platte who are wearing Corn Husker attire. They are on the back side of their North Platte to Marysville turn and when they cross the state line to Nebraska the conductor notes that "your intelligence goes up 10 points."

Other comments: Conductor: In Nebraska, they bury a farmer only three feet under.
Author: OK, why?
Conductor: So he can still get a handout.

Engineer: A wealthy farmer has two mailboxes.

Fellow partisans!!

[Mookie]

Jay - I missed the original, but this is too funny. It also has a ring of truth to it! [:D]

[JDV5th]

Got any leftover apple pie? Apple pie a la mode (sp?) with a cup of coffee can't be beat!
Hope you're all enjoying wednesday. Hot and humid in Michigan. Rediculous. It's October for cryin' out loud. I know it's hotter elsewhere, I'll quit now.

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi.

We haven't missed the SD40, since we have a lot of them running around here.
They seem to move a lot of freight through here! Have only seen two GP9's and one GP7 - according to my list - around the yard. They don't seem to let them out very often - shucks! I'd like to drag one of those GP9's home to add to my collection......

Moo

[cherokee woman]

Produce today: bags of salad mix; green apples; cauliflower;yellow peppers.
Unfortunately, they didn't bring us any potatoes and onions today.[:(]

Supper tonight: hamburgers w/onions, fried taters, fries and garden
salad. Have plenty of black forrest cupcakes for dessert.

If I may be so bold, may I inquire what else is in your collection, Mookie? You aren't stashing any old F-units or such around there, are you?

I wish I were enjoying Wednesday, but it's still only Tuesday here![:D]
I think you better find an air-conditioned building- the heat's getting to you.
