Skid......Slid....Pant........I made it! Happy Birthday to a special Mutt! I made you a gift - it is buried out in the garden. When breftist is over we will go dig it up together! It may still be warm!!!!!!
NO NO NO - it isn't that - it is gray and with fur and it now lays very, very still.......
And in honor of your special day - 80 degrees here in our fair town. And they must have run everything they could find out of the yard last nite. The weather was just right - and I heard them all - even Amtrak was heading west almost on time!
We are 17 blocks due east and I could hear the bell ringing as the engine approached a crossing - actually I think I heard one of the crew sneeze.....
So Happy, Happy and I am going to frolic in the sunshine just for you!

I do want some snow. Send it this way, if you can!
One of our local meteorologists has kind of a different winter forecast. He is forecasting only 1.5 inches of snow in December, 3 inches in January, 7 inches in February and 11 inches in March. Personally, I think it is ridiculous to try to forecast how much snow is going to fall in each month because just one strong storm system and a bit of cold air could dump a foot of snow in a month when not much was forecast and vice-versa.
Voted. Now to see if it did any good.....

Very nice pics, CW!
Today was a top ten day of the year in my books with a high in the lower 70s, mostly sunny skies and light winds. We will make a run at 80 degrees tomorrow before things start cooling off. Still no snow in the forecast, so my November outlook is holding true for now.
This week is a short one with Friday off so it'll be one of the super weeks when Thursday is my Friday. I think I'll try and do some hard core train watching on Friday.
Hope everyone has a good evening!

Nice pic's Walt.
ADIK has a Gradall similarly configured. Most of the summer it had the mother of all weedwackers mounted on it. It'll take down small trees.....
Let me put in my kudos as well.

I'm up for some Chili. Any chance of a tunafish sandwich with that? Fries are good too...
Gotta get out and make the choo choo go today...

Well, it's lunchtime, so guess I'd better post the lunch menu for today.
1. chili or beef vegetable soup w/grilled cheese sandwiches
2. open faced roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters &beef gravy
3. BLTs w/fries & cole slaw
Below are some of the pics Mutt and I took yesterday morning over at the tracks. They are
in the order in which Mutt described them in a previous post.
Hope everyone likes them.

......Central Indiana has a low of 50 degrees this morning...not bad. Just a little light rain. Don't know just what that means of any voting outcome.
Like Jen, we voted about 2 weeks ago...Sounds like this election cycle has record numbers of absentee voting....It eliminates any hassles finding parking, making one's way through all the politicians and any standing in lines...etc...Plus one can do it at one's own pace.
Wonder if we may see that inspection train up this way that you mention Walt....Would be something different and we've got NS running several ways out of the Muncie area...North, northeast, south and west north west.
I wouldn't be surprised "we" get inspected more than a little over town at that long sweeping curve that is famous for "dumping" the TripleCrown on the ground quite often. Plus another regular freight just a couple of months ago.

Goin' for CW's mixing bowl. Didn't wear my heavy coat today. Just too nice out - 75 this afternoon - good train watching weather, which I will enjoy after my duties here! We must have landlord evict new tenants. They seem to go in and out through walls and never bang a door. They manage to get through a whole nite w/o a loud stereo. They walk up and down the stairs. They park on their side of the double drive. Haven't had to use the speed dial once to call police! This is just too spooky. What kind of neighbors would do this to us? Moo!

Sounds like the kind of neighbors you need to get acquainted with!
Everyone make sure to check out the new thread I just started- dug up the precious few attempts at railfan photography that I have from the 70s and scanned them.

Mookie, I also found a shot of our family cat, Pepper, which I'll scan tonight and post here in the diner.

A cup of hot chocolate would taste pretty good right about now. I am in the habit of checking out the weather on my computer for a variety of places, especially where I have friends or relatives, and it looks like Louisville, Kentucky has been getting a lot of rain lately. For those of you who live in Louisvile, I hope you will soon get some sunlight to chase the cloud cover and rain away.
It's 37 degrees here in Sioux Falls, and we have a cloudy sky. It's supposed to warm up here to about 67 later this afternoon, although our local metierologist with KELO AM is saying that it could get up to 72.
I too, will be headed out to excercise my patriotic duty to vote, and I will repeat Cherokee Woman's admonition here,
If you are registered to vote, do your duty and vote!!
CW,
I'll take a hot chocolate and I'll stroll through the breakfast bar. Need a plate to go. I'm headed to our local school to vote and then off to work.
As for rain, it's just been a light chilled rain so far. We need some sun to take the chill off for awhile.
Everyone have a great day.
