TGIF! Too bad they're predicting a biblical flood this weekend for this area. Oh well, maybe I'll get some honey-do things done around the house for a change.

In the meantime, if anybody wants to bug me, I'll be in my recliner over there...

[Mookie]

Hey Brian - are you flying or driving to LV?

Rest young man. LV and a wedding all at once - will really be taxing!

Moo....

[cherokee woman]

Joe, thank you for putting on the coffee, and making the juice.

Larry, thank you for the bear claws this morning.

Mookie, if it's all right with you, I'll get us a couple of mugs of coffee,
and will join you at the swing.

Brian H., hope you don't get that much rain this weekend. Don't
want you all floating away.

Along with it being Friday Fish Fry day, is there anything else anyone
wants for lunch today?

[jeaton]

Just adding a post to speed up the process of getting us to the next page.
This one doesn't fit on my screen and by the time I shift to the right I forget what was said on the left.

Flying. Allegiant flies non-stop from CR to LV at a great price, if you book early. We've actually had this trip planned since January, but initially not for the wedding. Subsequent events forced the kids to align the wedding plans with the get-together plans. We can't divulge what those events are, but no, she's not pregnant- and neither one of them are in the military.[:-^]

Light rain here in Denver, mixed with some really big snowflakes. Think I'll stay inside a while. (not good for the fomacites/fomites out chasing Uncle Pete's #844 big steam kettle today east of town including one of my co-workers)....see lots of really tiny little green straws out in the lawn reaching skyward. Cabela's store here in Denver appears to be on hold whilst the highway and local road people quibble over a promised freeway ramp (and whose piggy bank gets raided)...

// scrounging for hot cider mix as rain mix turns to all snow here at 6200 feet.

Brian - you and your wife are expecting?

Big Muddy - get rid of the asparagus or you will be in knee-deep snow in July!

The Wiz!

Mornin' All

The page is way out of whack. [:0] [B)] My poor finger is tired from scrolling back and forth to read the page.

Well the 844 is headed to Kansas. Instead of going West to get there it is going East. haha [:p]

I am loving the weather lately, spring-like it is. [:D] The nights are chilly and the days in the 60s to 70s. It can stay that way for several months for all I care.

Well today is my Tuesday. [8] I can bid a job at Jenks but would lose $1 an hour, but would have Saturday and Sunday off. I do kinda have something else in the fire tho, so I will wait and see how that turns out. [;)]

Well Duchess wants to go for a walk and I need to check on other things.

Everyone Take Care

If that were the case, I wouldn't be in such a good mood, and a certain Urologist would be getting an irate phone call...

[cherokee woman]

Okay, everyone, the Friday Fish Fry is ready to eat. Got the regular menu, fried fish, fries, hushpuppies, cole slaw.

For dessert, we have ice cream Sundae Cones, and ice cream sandwiches, and orangecicles.

[germanium]

Mook - I'll come clean as well - born 4 months after Pearl Harbor.

[Mookie]

We have many "older" citizens on the forum. I am always surprised at the age range of very young and very mature.

Generally, I am older than most of the regular posters, but they accept me and that is good. Besides - we lived through the
50's and 60's! It was the best! Now they want the furniture from then, the music, the clothing..... I think that makes us "in demand".

Mook

[cherokee woman]

If anyone doesn't want fish for tonight, I've got roast, taters, carrots & onions
prepared for supper tonight, also.

To those of you who won't be "here" over the weekend, and a happy, and
safe weekend. And may there be plenty of trains in your weekend.

[germanium]

I appreciate those posters who take the time to display the depth and width of their knowledge and educate us, especially the professional railroaders. Thank you, one and all, for your willingness to impart your knowledge.

[jeaton]

Ex-professional railroader, I'll have you know. Still nice to get a complement from younger folks.

[cherokee woman]

Joe, you did it again: How did you KNOW what I was serving for Saturday brunch
this morning?!?![:I][^] Glad you had the coffee ready when I got in here.

Right now, we are getting a light rain. The marathon runners don't mind that; but
the "upper" winds made them cancel the Balloon Race for this morning. Hopefully,
they'll be able to get off the ground in the morning.

Everyone have a great and safe day, and be sure you're back between 6:30 and 7:00
EDT for our Saturday Pizza Fest. Anybody have any special pizza requests
for tonight?

[CNW 6000]

Pizza was great Joe thanks. I have 12 of 15 pages written! *WHEW* Only 3 more to go by Monday @ 4PM.

cw could you make a burger and fries for lunch? I'd appreciate it! I still have some chocolate cake if you want to trade....

You darn right I am. I only wish it was here on the weekend when I drive the truck. That way I could drive up to it and get of the a railroad truck, wearing my rainroad clothing, and wearing my walkie talkie and maybe get "better" than normal treatement. [:D] You know like a special invite into the cab, or into the parts of the train not normally seen by the average railfan. [;)] [8D]


Currently we are having the duluxe car wash from the sky. I have not seen rain coming down like this in ages. Anyone seen Noah lately, I heard he had a big boat. Trust me, on a day like today, a big boat is almost necessary.

I hope it is not raining on the 844. Last I check it was running behind the rain. But it very well could catch it in more ways than one. [;)]

I do have a thread going where you can track the progress of the train. I am trying to keep it updated as to the latest location of the 844 and its consist.

WOW, I just looked out the door. Our ditches have flooded and there is debris from the ditch all over the road. The road is almost a river right now too. [:0] [B)] [8]

The steps are a waterfall right now. That is how hard it is raining. This is not good. I expect to hear of some roads being closed before long. I hope people will not try to drive over flooded roads and bridges but I bet Larry would say otherwise.

About a week ago, a forum member from northwest Arkansas emailed me some photos of a school bus that was caught in a flash flood. It was carried down stream for a ways before lodging again some trees. [:0] I think everyone was ok, just shaken up a bit.

Well I better start getting ready for work. I need to take advantage of any break in the rain to head to work.

Everyone Take Care

[railfan619]

Dan;on Sat. & Sun.;after the " BRUNCH HOUR",you are pretty much on your own to fix what you want to eat until the evening meal is ready.
So go ahead and fix what you want,just remember to clean up any messes !


Jim;the rain still is not a problem here,although we are supposed to get some
"heavy stuff" later this evening on into tomorrow morning. That,and the upper
atmospheric winds are giving the people in charge of the "Balloon Race" fits.
For safety's sake,they won't launch them if the uppers winds are more than 14mph.
Hopefully they'll get it done sometime tomorrow,without totally having to cancel it.
(last time they had to do that,was in 1993.)

[CNW 6000]

Loco I didn't know that policy. Sorry! I'll clean up my small mess and wait until the 'za fest starts. I'm requesting a Pepperoni and Sausage please! I'll be pretty hungry tonite!

[Anonymous]

CW,
For Tonight's Pizza Fest I will take Peperoinni. Currently they are at pick 24 of the NFL Draft.

[blhanel]

Hmmm... I'll be different tonight and request Meatlovers. I wouldn't hold my breath on the wind dying down anytime soon- the low pressure that's causing it is supposed to camp over Missouri and give us up here in Iowa as much as four inches of rain this weekend, along with high winds.
