I am going to make my bib a permanent outfit!

Chris - that's terrible!

JDV - we must have a terminology lesson. I was taught that breakfast is breakfast; lunch is what ladies with money "do"; otherwise if you work in the fields all day or do major manual labor - you do dinner at noon - since that should be your big meal. Then if you are in a tux - you do dinner at 8 and if you are afore mentioned laborer/farmer, you do supper.

Translation - That leaves Breakfast 1 and 2, lunch/dinner, dinner/supper and don't forget all snacks - oh my - I think I am in love!

Mooie.....[:D]

Well once again the Eagles had another great victory over the 49ers yesterday. I'm sorry but the 49ers really did terrible they didn't even score a touchdown the final score 3 to 42. I'm beginging to worry about their season. They have only won one game so far. I think the problem with the 49ers quarterback ( don't know his name) was that he was throwing too many of what I like to call interception passes. I was also thrilled to learn that Carolina beat the Patriots!! Thank goodness because the Patriots don't need to get another Superbowl title.

Um, that would be Tim Rattay throwing those passes. Actually, the 49ers have only played 2 games, and for them to be 1 and 1 after 2 games is pretty good. They aren't expected to do very well this year. Although, I love anyone to beat the Eagles. That darn team from Washington beat my Cowboys last night, in the lasst few minutes of the game. Urrrgh! I'll take some strong coffee.
I like the Patriots, but you're right, they don't need another ring. They'll run out of fingers before long. I wouldn't mind seeing the Colts knock them off. (or the Lions, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa). Sorry about that humor.

Good rainy Tuesday everyone!! All the regular breakfast menu items are ready

There was plenty of spaghetti for lunch, and there's still plenty for supper
tonight.

Carl, what kind of barbeque do you want? The shredded kind on a bun, or
some other meat with barbeque sauce dripping off it? Either way, there is
both: along with spaghetti and garlic toast.

Sarah, I did make the spaghetti last night. But I made a biiiiig pot, so we
can have it for several days, along with whatever else is fixed. So you
can have more spaghetti tonight, if you want some. O.K[?]

I heard something about Spagetti (spelling) are we haveing some tonight? If so count me in!! I actually thought that was what we had last night.

Randy, thanks for the clarification on Sweet Corn verses Feild Corn <blushes> I'm from the city wouldn't and don't know too much about farming.

[JDV5th]

Spagetti? Sounds great, but has to be for dinner, not lunch. Too heavy.
Any interesting water cooler trivia or events this weekend?

[CopCarSS]

Did I hear the word spaghetti mentioned? I could be inspired to song with such dishes:

Ohhhhhhhhhh...

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie....that's amore!

or is it...

When you swim up the creek and an eel bites your cheek, that's a moray!

[:P][:P][:P]

Anyways, mark me down for a big plate of pasghetti, and a couple pieces of garlic bread please!

[Mookie]

Got my bib on - Yum!

[JoeKoh]

thank you mookie.who wants to have have some spaghetti and garlic bread for supper?
stay safe
Joe

[CShaveRR]

Anything barbecued for lunch?

JDV, I see you live in Grand Rapids! My wife grew up there, I grew up in Grand Haven, and we met each other halfway (in GVSC, as it was known then). If "V" is the initial of your surname, I'm betting that the next two letters are either "an" or "er"! (wife's maiden name ends in "ma"!)

Not so fast packer fan. Whoops, was that the Browns that won? Don't feel too bad, most of Michigan is about to run Joey Harrington out of town. Lions were just pathetic yesterday! Good thing we've got other interest to distract us from football woes.

I'll take a #2 with a Large coffee!

[coborn35]

[Mookie]

Just coffee this morning - sprang out of bed at 2:50 - an hour before the alarm.

Driver asked me if I was ok - said fine. Wondered why I was up so early -

Well, I was done sleeping! On to other things!

(Actually, I was writing a tidbit for the forum in my head - and that always wakes me up. )

Gotta go get the bugle for wakin' up the rest of the forum!

[}:)]

[cherokee woman]

Good Monday morning everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend; now,
though, it's time to get back to the ole weekday routine.

Breakfast this morning: turkey bacon, sausage patties or links, whichever
you prefer, biscuits & gravy, oatmeal & toast, or, if you prefer, cereals like:
Corn Flakes, Cheerios, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, etc.And if you're not
too hungry this morning, about about toast & coffee/hot tea?

[cherokee woman]

Espeefoamer & Brian, hope you enjoyed the spaghetti. And the leftovers will
taste even better tomorrow: spaghetti's like homemade soups and stews: they
taste even better on the second and third days (when you have that much made
up in advance).

[blhanel]

Hey, Willy, did you make it over here to Cedar Rapids and visit Box Kar Hobbies? I think it was you that I gave directions to for it?

Brian

P.S. I'll take a full plate of that spaghetti.

[espeefoamer]

I saw the For Better or for Worse cartoon this AM [8D].It just goes to show that model railroads aren't always for kids.
I'll take a plate of that spaghetti [dinner],sounds good[:p]!

[cherokee woman]

So very glad the Sunday morning brunch went over so well.

Supper tonight: Italian spaghetti w/whole wheat garlic Texas toast.

[Anonymous]

CW- that's my favorite Sunday buffet. I'll have 2 of everything.[bow] Was wondering about our resident train soldier Mark. Heard they blew up a rail line in Iraq. But found him on another forum this morning and he's safe.
We've got a Grandaughter birthday party today, so if there's any extra cake I'll bring it back. Have to save some for Mookie though.
Spend the rest of the day prepping for trip to Portland OR for nieces wedding this weekend. Not looking forward to flying. Too many bad memories of flying in helicopters in 70-71. I wanted to take a train out, but wouldn't fit into time frame from work.
See we've got 2 more tropical depressions in Caribean headed this way. Will it never end?
Chris., if you're coming to IL in Oct, perhaps we can get together. Know some great photo ops, but can't take pics. I'll drive and you shoot. Email off line for info.

Great breakfast CW! Now I'm stuffed. Hope I've got room for cake and I SCREAM.
Be back later, I think this is going to be a nap day. Willy

Good Morning,

Yesterday, two other security guards and myself manned a barricade at the parade making sure nobody went down the street that wasn't supposed to. Very interesting for the most part because at one point, we started having to direct traffic on the street. I did it for the most part so essentially I was a traffic cop without a gun.

I kind of felt sorry for some of my collegues who had to go to the event and deal with rowdy drunks and brawlers. The Grape and Wine Festival is a great one but there are always those who just come to try and spoil it for everybody else so our jobs were to keep it from happening to the best of our ability.

I might volunteer to help out and do that as soon as I get information on the parade hours just because especially after the grand parade (Sept.24) at night-time in the park, law enforcement needs as many hands as possible because the rowdy and the drunks don't just stay in the park, they go all over the downtown and start throwing crap at windows and getting into fight with anybody they come in contact so our poor police force will have their hands full with that.

I am going to have to practice holds, throws and other non-lethal martial arts moves just in case. I just hope it won't be neccessary to use them-too much paper work afterwards.

[cherokee woman]

Gee Randy, know I can handle your order for sausage and pancakes. But:
don't think I have enough grease in the Diner to send you for the lube job.
And no, we don't carry diesel fuel for the tractor. Maybe you'd better contact
RFD-TV: maybe they've got extra they can send you all[:-,][:-,]

And speaking of breakfast, we'll have MORE pancakes and sausage, and
plenty of biscuits and gravy, and scrambled eggs.

Joe, For Better or For Worse is really truthful today. There's certain modelers
I know of who don't want to share.

[JoeKoh]

Morning
we got things started for this morning and a nice surprise in the sunday comics.anyone with a model rr layout can relate to the "for better or worse" comic strip this morning.

Good morning from Burlington, WI all.....

Spent nine hours chopping corn yesterday, untill I got tired of resetting the circuit breaker for the work lights. The chopper needed a break anyway. Managed to fini***he first bag and got about nine loads into the second. What the corn lacks in quality it sure makes up for in quantity! I was in the lowest gear the tractor has, and still occasionally was plugging up the two-row corn head.

CW, I'll take a big stack of pancakes w/ maple syurp, and sausages. The tractor will take 50 gallons of #2 diesel and the chopper will take a grease job. I'm hoping to get the second silage bag finished today, and started on the third.

Randy

RIGHT ON BROTHER!! CAN YOU SEND SOME OF THAT CORN MY WAY???? Please (puppy doggie eyes) [bow] I could use some good high quality Kern now! [:D]

Ah, Sarah.....

I can tell you're not too familiar with farm operations. I was chopping FIELD CORN, not SWEET CORN. You really do not want to try to eat field corn, the seed companies hybrid this stuff for better silage yield and more grain quality and quantity. Besides, this time of year, the field corn has dented, matured, and is drying down. I guess the stuff we were putting up was going in at about 60-65% moisture, which is good for silage. You can tell the difference between field and sweet corn by the looks, sweet corn has shorter, thinner stalks, usually only about 6-8 feet tall in good ground. Field corn is taller, some varieties are known to push 18-20 feet for silage hybrids, and the stalks are thicker. If planted at the same time, the sweet corn will usually tassel and have ears ready first, and by this time of year, the plant will pretty much be dead.

Anyway, I was out chopping for about 10 1/2 hours today, got about a third to a half into the third and last bag, with no breakdowns. (Okay, I did break a shear pin, but that's just minor.)

CW, the pizza sounds REALLY good, but my mom made a great batch of pepper steak up tonight, so I'll pass. See y'all later.

Randy

naniamo73 and Modelcar,after doing a bit of research this morning,
I'm finding that the last rail traffic over that bridge was in 1969.
Guess that would be after the merger,and they just used the Pennsy
bridge into town from the In. side.
NYC still had a small engine terminal,with a turntable; downtown in
in the 1970s.....believe they shared it with the C & O.
(that entire area is now a part of "Slugger Field")

Thanks. The February 1995 Railfan has a good article about L&N in Louisville and Louisville's Union Station and mentions NYC and IC had their own Central Station along the river. Amtrak never used this bridge but did use the other two. Is the ex PRR bridge now owned by Louisville and Indiana only used by LIRC ?

As near as I can tell,that's the way it is;Kathi Kube might be able to give
you some better info. on that,as she was down last year getting some
material on the L & I for a possible upcoming article on them.
I was downtown about a week and a half ago,and did see a CSX train
on the Ky. approach,I know the engines were up to about the river,but
I couldn't tell if they went on across or not.

Just an FYI to all;there's plenty of Pizza left,so some of you late "snackers"
can have it tonight,and any early risers can have breakfast pizza,
with their coffee and juice in the morning.[:D][8D]
