As it will be on Sunday, will leave plate it cooler with big note: DON'T MIFF THE CAT! The chicken nukes up very well. I retrieved one from the freezer just the other day - leftovers from the event last October (I hope). Almost as good as fresh.

Carl,
I think I got the UTLX Louisville Code down now. I had to read it over more than once but, I got it down. What is really interesting is the fact that those UTLX cars had DBUX numbers at one point before they switched over to UTLX numbers..hum.interesting...I've never heard of that ever. I would expect that, since UTLX manufactured those cars, the cars should come out of the factory marked with UTLX numbers before being marked with DBUX numbers. Weird.
Oh and yes this hobby is fun................tons. lol I think I've been hanging around you too long lol, because now you have me doing freight car work! hehehehehe

Well, it's going to be another rainy one here in Louisville, later on today into the next week. CW, Mutt, and I will have to keep the diner updated. Other than this..hum.darn I don't have anything else to say tonight. I must be getting tired.

Union Tank often makes cars for other companies, Sarah. In fact General American, which used to be a big competitor to Union Tank, now has several series of new cars built by them, acquired directly from them.

Can't see straight after working last night. Is that you behind the counter, Cher? I'll just have a bowl of Fruit Harvest, please, before I drop off to bed.

[cherokee woman]

Good rainy Saturday morning. Woke up this morning to the NWS radio going
off with Thunderstorm watch/warning. Going to be a rainy weekend here, as
Sarah said last night.

Breakfast brunch today: your choice of doughnuts, coffee, tea, juice, turkey
bacon, sausage, biscuits & sausage gravy, hash browns, scrambled eggs
and toast are laid out on the warmer breakfast bar. Hope no one around here
gets flooded with all this rain!

Hi everyone how are we all doin today fine and dandy. I hope well it is going to be a pretty nice day outside with temps in the 50's yeah I said 50's but also we are supposed to get some rain and thunderstorms toady and tonight which I guess that means spring is finally getting which is a very good thing cause. I can stand the rain. But anywho that's really about it from this end hope everyone has a good weekend and I will be talkin to you all later, OH Cw can you save me some pizza for later tonight when I get home from work. thanks[:D][:D]

Morning everyone......

Looks like it's going to get really busy at work the next few months, we were told in a meeting this week to expect another huge order of trailers from UPS. Apparently, they're hiring another 700 or so drivers in the next year to handle business, and they just bought another smaller trucking company. Never knew that UPS was the third largest airline in the country (and probably the only one that will not need a gov't bailout). They told us it will be a significant order, we were figuring at least over 1,000 units, maybe much more than that.

I think spring has sprung a week or so early, forcast is for around 60 today, with rain and storms moving in later this afternoon. Was listening to weatherband last night on the way home, sounds like the first severe weather of the season around here could be today, said spotter activation may be needed today. Might be a good day to go play in the mud, with the ground being waterlogged from the snowmelt and recent rains.

Will be in later, need to go get my cell phone updated, apparently, I need to upgrade to the latest in wireless/GPS technology, or pay more on my cell phone bill. And I just got used to this one (after three years!)!

Hi All

Randy [^]

It seems like technology is booming in the cell phone industry. Now they can be used are cameras and record music and play music. Plus they have the TV technology also. Amazing, simply amazing. [;)] Oh sorry, that was John Cleese's commercial for Magnovox lol .

Computers are about the same way. Mine is about 5 years old and poor thing is all it can do to access the internet now. I would love a new computer but their are other things more important than it right now.


Today is about 75 and cloudy right now. Eightys predicted for the next 2 days. The mosquitos are now out also. [:(]

The poor lady who lost her husband in the lightening strike and house fire the other night was in her 80s and so was her husband. He was on oxygen. She had to break a window and climb out. She suffered burns to her hands and feet. And get this, she lost her husband, lost her house, was burned, AND suffered a heart attack in the hospital. Poor lady.

I see this weather system continues to be a bid deal for the eastern US. Randy is getting it now. [:0] They are telling us another system will be here Monday and could also be a big, bad system. [:(]

Everyone Take Care

[locomutt]

Randy;Yes on the UPS "Airline",If it weren't for their national "Air Hub" here
at Louisville International (SDF) there would not be all that many take offs and
landing at all here !!
UPS is one of the largest employers here,along with GE (Appliance Park) and
Ford (two assembly plants)

The NWS radio has still been quite active thusfar today,but instead of severe
weather watches/warnings; it's for Flash Flood Warnings/Watches from all
the very heavy rains.
We do, however still have a very big chance for more of the severe stuff today and
tomorrow;our area has basically only had reasonably minor damage with just
tree limbs and power lines down,I don't believe that we've had any injuries or
fatalities from this last round.

[Anonymous]

Rained breifly this morning while I was out railfanning but has stopped now.

[espeefoamer]

We had rain and some hail yesterday,with snow down to 1500 Ft. more of the same today.it is going to be a cold one.(At least cold for here,some of you will consider this warm).Temp. in the 40s.

[cherokee woman]

All right, everyone, Sarah and I have the pizzas all cooked, and out on the warmer
bar. Got all the usual pizzas for the Saturday Pizza Fest. Hope you enjoy
them, and later, we'll pop some popcorn, if anyone would like some popcorn.

[blhanel]

Count me in.

[Anonymous]

Yes I would love Popcorn CW. Well it isn't raining here yet and our Dishwaser just flooded so it's time to go clean it up.

[jeaton]

I can not remember the last time I was outside with a light jacket and the air felt warm. Today was the day, but it is just a taste. I have known snowstorms in May, so I keep the heavy winter coat close at hand.

Too tired for a full meal but a glass of milk and a piece of homemade pie a la mode would hit the spot.

[Mikeygaw]

"it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, oh won't you be mine oh won't you be mine oh won't you be my neighbor"

lovely weather... mid sixties today, set a record high yesterday of 76 here in Philly... alas, my favorite railfanning spot is flooded with maintence people, so the opportunity is wasted.

All this talk of cooking pizza brings back some memories from grade school... i went to a Catholic grade school, and during the Lenten season you could purchase a pizza kit... dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice would be provided, and you would put it together and cook it yourself... always was an enjoyable experience for me

[cherokee woman]

Glad to see someone cleaned up the popcorn on the floor. Thank you, whoever
cleaned up!

Sunday brunch today will be: doughnuts, and on the warmer bar, you'll find:
turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits, sausage gravy, hash browns and scrambled
eggs. This will be available until 3 p.m. EST.

Anyone going out in all the wind, rain, thunder, lightning, please be careful
Want to see you back in here..

[jeaton]

???? Looked out the window this morning and nothing but sun in a clear blue sky. Maybe I am at the Coffee Shop in the alternate universe.

Just coffee now. I'll be back later for the breakfast bar.

[tree68]

Madam La Mook should have a story or two if she gets the weather it looked like was headed her way this fine Sunday Morning. We're supposed to see it Monday afternoon.

All those red and yellow outlines on the weather map!

Got the pit set up today to cook the chicken next Sunday. Fire lights off around 7, chicken goes on sale at noon. (Actually, the first chicken will be ready long before, but we have some standing deliveries to cover.) We're only cooking 800 halves....

[CShaveRR]

Quick in and out before church...sunny now, but clouds later today, rain tonight. I'm supposed to be in a CPR class tomorrow, but if the Big Boss doesn't change my status, I'll have to work my regular job instead.

Oh--Sarah, thanks again!

That MUST be what it is,'cause here it's very cloudy,been thundering rather
loudly and definiftely raining (almost the proverbial cats & dogs !)

Time to just sit back,read the paper,and enjoy a large cup of coffee,or Mocha.
Don't imagine much railfanning,or much else for that matter will get done today.[:(]

Hello One and All [^]

My neighbor said we hit over 80 yesterday. We are mid 70s now with cloudy skies and some clouds. Thunderstorms are on tap for this afternoon and evening. At least one tornado was reported on the ground last night in western Arkansas.

I don't think there is any doubt that Spring is here. [;)] I need a can of wasp spray already. I took the fly swatter after one this morning but missed. [:(!] HOW do they get so BIG so QUICK [?] [?] [?]

I am leaving Monday morning for a quick trip to Missouri. I will be back Wednesday afternoon.

Everyone Take Care

[cherokee woman]

Jim, have a safe trip to Missouri, and a safe trip back to North Little Rock.

Right now, the rain has stopped, and we just have cloudy skies. But, the
rain is to start back up later on, late afternoon, early evening. Already sick
of the rain, even though I know we need it. Temp is somewhere in the mid
to upper 60s.

Sunday Dinner tonight will be your choice of a brocolli and chicken casserole
with a cheese sauce, or you can have a big bowl of dumplings & chicken.

[rvos1979]

Afternoon everyone.....

No rain yet today, sky is just cloudy after a sunny start this morning. Only in the mid 40s right now, got up to 60 or so yesterday, but had severe T-storm warnings at about eight last night. Took a long drive in the truck today to get everything nice and hot in the engine, hopefully got rid of a lot of contaminants in the oil, but it's getting close to needing to be changed again anyway.

CW, both items on the menu sound delicious for tonight, I may just have to sample both of them! [dinner]

See everyone later.

Randy

[Anonymous]

Chicken and dumplins sound awsome, thanks!

The rain came through here last night...all night. From the sound of it I thought we'd need a boat this morning.

But today is beautiful...turned the heat off in the house (hopefully, but doubtfully, for the last time this year).

[mudchicken]

First nuked, then associated with dumplings. Watching it snow right now. Busy weekend.

Josie - be ready to find that O-N button on the heater in about two days.[;)][;)][;)]

Well, at least you don't have to worry about tornadoes at the moment. Sounds like one is headed Jay's way according to weatherbug, and it's going to be a rough night for southern and southeast WI.

Actually left the truck off the block heater for most of the weekend, but plugged it back in tonight for the colder weather, supposed to have lows in the 20s all week.

I'm just weird, Mudchicken, the son of a dairy farmer, and I don't care for beef or dairy products. I'd rather take chicken instead, but without the mud.

Randy

[cherokee woman]

Good morning all! Hope everyone survived the weather over the weekend.
Saw some video of the flood waters on our local news last night. Even
saw a couple of old steam engines surrounded by water in Southern Ind.
last night. They have got water everywhere![:(]

Breakfast this morning: biscuits with sausage patties, oatmeal, cinnamon
toast. Not quite awake enough this morning, to fix a big breakfast.

Mookie, here's a large cup of coffee for you. Looks like we're in the same boat this
morning: having trouble getting going. Don't you just hate Monday mornings at
times?
