Joe, thanks for starting the coffee brewing, and making the juice. Just now
finished going through all my email from overnight.

For Saturday brunch, the menu will be:

pancakes, sausage and/or bacon, scrambled eggs, homemade biscuits,
sausage gravy, and jam, jelly, preserves & honey for the biscuits.

I think I will have the Sausage and Scrambled eggs with my pancakes. A good breakfast before an 8am Saturday Morning Math final.

Morning All

Now is the time for that Amtrak trip to San Antonio. That is if you have ever thought about taking one there. WHY? Because the 844 will be there for about a week.

I think they will be doing a boiler wash and inspection. I was told that every 30 days a boiler wash is necessary for a working steam engine. PLUS for those of us whose weather is a little cooler than normal I am sure that San Antonio's weather is much warmer. [^] I certainly would go if I had the time and money.

Today our weather is currently 69 and headed for a high of 81. We have sunny skies with 00% change of rain.

I am on my 3rd cup of coffee and still struggling to stay awake. [:(]

Take Care Everyone

Well guys, All done with the Math final. Went much better than I had expected. Only took about an hour too, I still think its dumb to have final exams on a saturday though. Just got 1 more really easy one monday night at 7 and then I am completely done for the semester. Breakfast was great, good thinking food. Now I can enjoy the rest of my saturday with 0 degree weather and clear skies. If I had the gas to spare I would go sit by the tracks but alas, I cant. Have a good day every body!!!

Well everyone, I've got the pizzas ready early today. TheSATURDAY PIZZA FEST
consists of the following pizzas:

1. cheese
2. sausage
3. pepperoni
4. goetta
5. supreme
6. special
7. mushroom
8. three meat
I only made large today, instead of the usual extra large. But there should
be enough for everyone to have plenty of pizza.

And there are plenty of sodas to have with the pizzas.

Hey CW,
You know which one I want.
I need a large #4 to feed four. You know in 9 months, I'll be needing enough to feed 5.

Have a great night everybody. We're headed out to Newport KY.

Nothing but cold and rainy here today. The center of the low is stuck right in the middle of Lake Michigan and the rain is spinning out up to 500 miles in every direction. Toto? Is this Oregon?

We'll be over for pizza, but break out the sun lamps.

Yeah, Brian, are you going to be needing an extra pizza, or just have them
slice your large with more pieces?!?![:D][:-,]

A message from Bob's Secretary, Nance: I am finally back after being gone two days plus having email and general problems with the internet--hopefully it will be ok now.
Bob wants me to thank you all for your good wishes for his birthday. He really appreciated them. As you may remember Bob is legally blind and so I read all of your great posts to him which he enjoys a lot. Sarah, we both send our congratulations to you--we are proud of your good work in college. And thanks again for adding to Bob's life with all of the info about trains.
Thanks again to all of you .

Happy Mother's day to all the moms!

Sorry I've been away for a while. I had finals at college last week and this week I'm moving. I'm famished! I'd eat anything...even the hammock! LOL j/k. Hope everyone is having a good May so far. I'll be back in when I can.

Plus I had some time to edit my train animation...check it out here.

First and Formost

Happy Mother's Day too every single Mom out there. (No pun intended) [:D]

Nance thank you for you confidence in me, and for your praises. Much Appreciated!!

miniwyo, I know how you feel in relation to taking finals espeacilly math on the weekends, it's CRAP!!!! My senior year of high school I had to take my
A.P. Algerbra III, Trigonometry final, and it took me darn near four hours. I got a C in it. MAN was I glad to be out of that one!!!

Mutt...................Now you know I don't care for the Phillies at all, that is the only Philadelphia team I don't like. I am surprised at how poorly the Reds did in their games with us too, they got their butts handed to them in their own home town, twice.
(Well, this proves that if you want to play some REAL competitive sports come on up to the Birthplace of Independence).- No place like it. hehehe

Was at the mall briefly today - not many Mom's getting their Mother's Day dinner at the food court, but a lot of folks dressed up, so they were either coming from or headed to said dinner. Still gotta call mine - but AZ is three hours behind EDT...

Speaking of dinner, our banquet went well - food was great, camaraderie was fantastic. Didn't get home until after midnight, which made the 8:00 tee time a little hard to take. So I started out tired, and now after 18 so-so holes of golf, I'm pooped!

Think I'll have breakfast for dinner tonight...

Morning everyone (it's morning where I am anyway).......

Happy (belated) mothers day to everyone, and thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for my mother. It sounds like she will be able to go home on Monday at the very earliest and continue her recovery from there, which is good news.

Weather continues to be cool and rainy here near the Mad City. I talked to my dad this weekend, he did manage to get all the corn in before the rain started, but we may have some holes in one field if this weather keeps up, the field is beginning to turn into a lake. I haven't listened to the weather radio lately (scanner's home is in the truck), but I'm guessing we have had nearly three inches of rain since last Tuesday. He was also telling me that he could be starting first crop hay as early as next weekend, but the following week was looking like a better proposition.

One other item of good news that I have heard over the weekend is that my aunt who lives out in CopCarSS's and Mudchicken's state (Aspen, CO if I remember correctly) will be visiting next weekend, which will be the first time I will have seen her in about two years. I hope she brings her new husband along, whom I have not met yet, I don't think I have even seen a picture of him!!

Sarah, I see that the Phillies are coming to Milwaukee to play three games with the Brewers, and the Brewers are doing pretty decent this year despite the young players. [}:)][}:)][}:)]

See everyone later this morning.

Good morning, everyone! Sure looks like we were busy in here yesterday!

Joe, thank you for putting the coffee on, and making the juice. Had a little
trouble going to sleep last night (this morning, since it was about 2 when
I finally got into a deep sleep). I've only been "awake" for a half hour now,
but I've got breakfast going: turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits & sausage
gravy, scrambled eggs, and there's some oatmeal and toast also, if any-
one wants that.

I hope all the mothers here had a great Mother's Day yesterday. Mookie,
Matt's carnations are really pretty, aren't they?

And a Tip Top of the morning to you all,

Well, headed out to NE Colorado and found that the campground we were planning to stay in was quite full with a large group of some sort, so my cousin and I had to head to Jackson Lake SP (around 12 miles northwest of Fort Morgan). Unfortunately that meant that it was quite a drive back up to the Pawnee Buttes after we got the 5th wheel set up.

When we got to the buttes, I was a little disappointed that much of the National Grasslands area was closed to the public from March 1 - June 30 to keep nesting raptors happy. That would have been fine except for the fact that I never saw one raptor the whole time I was there (did hear a Red Tail that manged to get some Coyotes going, though).

Oh well, I was able to set up the tripod and get some nice "golden hour" shots of the Buttes themselves. Was also going to hang out for moonrise, but alas, the shot I had in mind required setup in one of the closed areas. So we just headed back to Jackson Lake (in retrospect, it wasn't too bad anyways. The haze on the horizon was a bit much for even a full moon, so it didn't appear until well over the horizon. I don't think I could've made a shot work).

Did go exploring a couple abandoned houses out on the plains. Got some pictures in the old, near ghost towns of Keota and Goodrich, too (both along abandoned rail lines). Haven't finished post-processing yet, but hope to get a chance on lunch.

Meanwhile, all looks well for the trip up to Yellowstone. Can't wait until Wednesday!

Well, I suppose I must go and get some work done so I can leave for that trip. Hope you all have a great week!

Chris

P.S. A belated "Happy Mother's Day" to all the moms on the forum!

Man, is it ever quiet in here today. Everyone must be overly stuffed from their
Mother's Day dinners yesterday.

If anyone does come in to eat, I've made some open-faced meatloaf sandwiches
w/mashed taters and gravy. They're in the cooler, just pop them in the microwave
to heat them up.

It was the FD dinner Saturday night (Mom's in AZ). But I'll take one of those sandwiches for supper.
