here in good old valparaiso indiana Im going back to school (i'll be a sophomore in high school) on the 24th, I can't say i'm too excited though.

[CSXrules4eva]

Back to school times. Fun fun times,....................um............NOT!!! I honestly don't miss the homework, the projects, and the impromtu tests. I shouldn't talk though because, I'm currently in college. College though is a lot more layed back than high school, and grade school. I do like that.

CW whats for din din??

[railfan619]

Good morning everyone it looks like it is going to be a wonderful day here in the lovely state of wisconsin but any who. But we could still use some rain up here so if any one has some can you please send it up this way so our grass can get green once again. Before the leaves start to fall of the trees and school starts up again Oh yeah Saw my frist high school football game today which means only one thing school starts in 2 1/2 weeks or something like that oh well have a good day and I'll see you all later [:D][:D]

If you heard on the news, in Markham, Ontario, police were called to a closed store in a mall and found dynamite, grenades, military ammo and bomb making material.

I guess Canada is now going to have to be extra vigilant on terrorism as I'm sure along with others that the target was Toronto.

Thease are certainly scary times.

[jeaton]

CW- You must have had some soup yourself. Still a bit shakey myself, but something worked, the fever is over. Maybe Wily was right, just "train lag". LOL That usually hits me worse eastbound. The 14 to 16 hours making the shift from Central to Eastern time will mess anybody up.

Cool 70 degrees and showers in the forecast hear. Should be some relief on the way for the Indiana contingent and perhaps it will even cross the river.

Ed. Exploding refineries. Did I miss something while in the Amtrak Alternate Universe? I am afraid I do not have much sympathy for the senior management at PB, at least not the Managing Director. (That's Chairman and CEO in British speak.) That should be Micro Managing Director the way they operate. The one on the job in the mid-eighties was responsible for my job at the coal company being abolished. I go to a high risk of running out of gas before I stop at the green sign. I'm sure they don't notice but it makes me feel better.[:D][:D]

[cherokee woman]

Good morning everyone! Feeling better this morning; also feeling hungry!

Breakfast/brunch will be: turkey bacon, sausage patties, biscuits & gravy,
cantalope & watermelon, cereal, oatmeal, toast (cinnamon toast this morning),
juice and coffee or tea.

Everyone take care out there today, since it's to be another warm one
today.

[Jordan6]

Went fishing on the river today with a friend. I caught a couple bluegills and a little sheepshead. I had what felt like a huge fish but the line got snagged on a tree in the water.[banghead][banghead]

[cheese3]

hi all, I dont think I have been in here for a while, How is everyone doing? OK I hope.
Feel better CW

[Mikeygaw]

hope you feel better soon CW; heck, i don't drink much water either, coffee or tea either for that matter

[cherokee woman]

Hope you all are enjoying the fish fry tonight. Haven't eaten anything:
tummy's upset; guess the humidity's getting to me. Doing something
I don't do much: drinking water. Usually, my water intake is in coffee
or tea. Put a couple of water bottles in the freezer to get nice and cold.

[railfan619]

Eveing everyone how is we .I would have had fi***onight but after the day I had at work
I decided to get a pizza for me and I had to get my favorite chesse and sausage and it is so so good [C=:-)][C=:-)][dinner][dinner] but any way hope you all have a good weekend and I will be talkin to you'll later because I'm going back to my pizza

[edblysard]

Because the stars go out, the cracking towers keep on going!

Ed

(by the way, this is not the week to invest in BP Amaco!)

[locomutt]

Ed,
How can you tell which one's a "shooting star",and which one's
the 'cracking tower' flying through the air ??

[edblysard]

98 degrees, feels like 103 in the shade, 10 degrees hotter in the sun...
Normal thunderstorms in the afternoon, sea breeze meets hot air blowing in from the plains, will rain from 3 pm till 6-6:30...
Plan on grilling ribs, a green salad, ice tea, ranch beans and tater salad with Blue Bell for desert..will sit out tonight to watch the shooting stars and listen for the refineries to explode....

Ed

E-mail on the way!

BRian, could use directions off of 380. It's been 25 years since I've been to CR. Did alot of drag racing in my misguided youth on the main drag downtown, but I probably could'nt find my way there now. I grew up in I.C. Willy

[cherokee woman]

Randy, you're on: fish fry for tonight. Not bad, having fi***wo nights in
a row, right? After all, we're all told to eat more fish in our diets! We're
just helping everyone with their health.

Larry, thank you ever so much for the coffee IV drip!! Sure did the trick.

Jay, glad you're feeling a tad bit better today.

Haven't heard the official current temp; but our indoor-outdoor ther-
mometer is showing 98 outside right now. We're supposed to have
a 30-40% chance of rain tomorrow through Monday. Hope the per-
centage increases: we sure could use a good steady rain to bring
down the temps.

[tree68]

Just rained here, and I see a severe T'Storm watch to the south. Might be a tad damp, but we do need some of the wet stuff. As long as it doesn't rain too much on my sisters' (both of 'em) vacation here for the next week.

That nap sounds good right about now...

[Modelcar]

.....Just changed oil and filter in my John Deere Lawn tractor and the hot sun and humidity just about did me in...Water running down my face and into my eyes, had to come inside to wa***hem out in order to see....That's the weather in Muncie here a bit after the noon hour...So, now we'll wait until a cooler part of the day to do mowing...Clear hazy sunny skies here and hot....! And hotter still...gas prices: 2.559

[rvos1979]

(yawn) Afternoon all.

CW, I'm having just as much trouble getting going today as you, and my weekend started today! Would you by chance have any Jolt cola in your cooler? I think I need the caffiene boost from that.

Installed some rollup doors in trailers yesterday at work, which involved drilling into a stainless steel frame. We only went through about 22 drill bits doing five trailers.

It pretty much rained off and on all day yesterday, not sure how much we got, but it should help out the corn a bit, it was starting to curl the other day. WeatherBug shows 35 hundreths, I think we got more than that, though.

Willy, I have a friend who has an older Case thresher, it's really cool watching that in action. He had his wedding pictures taken in front of it and another friend's John Deere 820 diesel.

Before I forget, CW, may I suggest a fish fry for dinner tonite? I'll bring the walleye.

Randy

[jeaton]

Feeling a tad better this morning, at least enough to say "tanks". Exhausted now, time for a nap.

Jay

[CShaveRR]

I might be ready for something warm later--it's raining again this morning. The car is unavailable to me today, so it's either walk to (and from) the train or bike. The forecast says it will clear up somewhat by noon, but the weather around here usually follows the forecast by a few hours.

Hold out your arm - I'll see if there's a 14 needle in the box.

Speaking of needles - sort of on pins and needles here. After a little miscommunication my daughter and her mother got together in London earlier in the week, and got together again after British Airways cancelled all their flights out of Heathrow due to a labor dispute. No word on if and when she'll be able to catch a flight out - there are some 70,000 travellers affected one way or another. At least she's not camping out at the airport...

[cherokee woman]

Good Friday morning, everyone! Sure will miss Mookie today; but here is her
breakfast casserole, all ready for everyone to eat! Also have the juice and
coffee ready, along with some sausage, biscuits and gravy ready for Jim
when he comes in (you know, have to have what the owner of this very fine
establishment loves to eat for breakfast on hand).

Lunch today will be fish sandwiches, w/fries and slaw; salmon patties w/
mashed potatoes.

Brian, Yes the Old Settlers reunion is great for anyone into steam. Been there a couple of times. MAMA (note importance of itallics) lives in Kalona IA not far from there. Have you ever been to Boxcar Hobby in CR? Need a scouting report on quality of shop before making the trip.

Are you kidding? It's the only shop around here worth going to. Lots of HO stuff- I think half my layout investment has been spent in there. Let me know if you need directions!

We've been getting some much-needed rain here today, hopefully just in time to keep my new landscaping plants and trees alive. I've got 1.3" in the rain gauge since last night.[yeah]
