Brian - I am laughing -

1: Driver took my "mug" shot, so as of this morning, yes he is still alive.

2: The word will get back to the forum far faster than a photo to let everyone know I "arrived".

3: you will need that long of a lens to photo me on my camp stool at the diamond. Then everyone on here will know just what my caboose looks like cuz I ain't facing away from the trains!

4: Post Brittany Spears picture or maybe make that Carol Burnett - better age. No one will know the difference but Brother Carl and I will threaten him!

I am off! But we knew that, didn't we.

For those of you that have visited Rochelle - I am going to follow in your footsteps.

For those of you that haven't - I'm really sorry but.....

Neener Neener!

Afternoon everyone....

I'm happy to report that my mother is home from the hospital, she got to go home on Mother's day. She's doing fine, but won't be working anytime soon. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts and prayers.

I might just have to take a trip on Saturday down to Rochelle just to meet everyone, if that's the case, I will be putting some serious mileage on the truck this weekend. I should really get down there again, haven't been down there in about a year.

Sarah, the Phillies seem to be having problems trying to beat the Brewers....
[:-^][:-^][swg][swg]

See everyone later.

Mookie, you and Driver have a SAFE trip!!

Randy, glad to know your mom is better, and at home!!

Well, at 3:20 p.m., we're getting wind and thunder, along with a few "sprinkles".

Supper tonight is: Special Fried Rice (that's the one with beef, pork, chicken,
and seafood all together).

Randy, Mutt and I wish Philly had had THAT trouble last week when they were
in Cincy. Only trouble is, Pittsburg is in Cincy now, and THEY'RE really doing it
to the Reds also[:(!]

Joe, you'll get no competition from here. I won't even be using the recliner, as I have too much running around to do- half a day of work, and then a 100-mile drive to move my daughter back home.

Later-

You can have the hammock today from my perspective (although I will take one of those brownies...

If someone has the wherewithall, etc, to do so, and sees what might just be Ms Mook and company on the Rochelle cam, and can capture it for all to see, please do! I'll be away from the computer most of the weekend, especially the times when the party will likely be happening at the diamond.

Good Friday morning, everyone. Decided to sleep in this morning. Haven't
been awake very long.

Help yourselves to the usual breakfast fare. Sure is going to be very quiet in
here, without Ms. Moo!!

I'll make sure to get the group to stand out at the end of the fence as a train goes by, crowd permitting. Also, my Digital Rebel will be there, and I'm pretty good at getting a sneak shot of people, especially with the long lens. Watch for a picture here sometime Sunday (Mookie still doesn't know exactly where I live, right?).[}:)]

Carl, I promise I won't post any unflattering shots.

Well, here it is, almost lunch time, and I've got the fish frying, hushpuppies frying
in another pot, and the cole slaw is ready.

Even though Mookie took a chocolate cake with her to Chicago, I've got plenty
more left. One was taken out of the freezer last night to thaw, so it's ready
after you all eat your lunch. There is also a white cake w/white frosting for
those who prefer that.

Hi All

Just stopped in for a quick Club sandwich, and a Diet Coke.

Trying to get some housework done, but not going too well as usual. Does anyone else have that problem? Or is it just me? [B)]

I sure wish Duchess could help. [;)]

It is going to hit 95 here today they say. [:0] [:(] Good bye Spring, Hello Summer. [B)] [8] And Hello to the high electric bills too. [:(] [V] [:(!]

Well, got to go.

I've got some more fish (cod, perch, and haddock) in the deep fryer for supper.
Made some more cole slaw, and have fries in another deep fryer.

Good Saturday morning, everyone! Looks like it's going to be a very beautiful
day today. Guess that means hardly anyone will be in here. So I've put out
breakfast on the breakfast warmer bar: sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs,
biscuits, sausage gravy, and fried taters. Will keep it refreshed until 2 p.m.

Mornin' all.....

Decided today that I will head down to Rochelle, it's only about an hour and a half drive, and the truck could use a drive to stretch it's legs. Be down there about 10:30-11:00.

Thanks for the breakfast CW, very good as always.

Morning All

My computer is starting to give me a lot of trouble. I tried to post while ago and when I hit send reply it did nothing. [:(!] [:(!] [:(!] I could have typed 1,000 pages and that would have been fine, it just wouldn't let me "send" it. [:(!] [:(] [:(!]

A while back one of my memory sticks went bad. I tried to replace it. I got the same speed stick but it wouldn't work with my remaining stick. When I took out the new stick the comp would work. It is just getting very slow and unpredictible. [B)] [:(] [V]

I think they actually make them to only last 3 or 4 years. I have heard that they actually have models ready for 2 or 3 years in the future but that they want to sell older technology first (that has been developed but not on the market or new to the market) then bring on the newer stuff.

Well everyone have a good day.

Take Care

I believe you'll find a lot of the "regulars" at Rochelle,Il. today.
Can't really vouch for the other ones though;guess it's depending
on the weather in their locations as to what's going on.
We've got a semi-nice day,today here in the Ohio Valley;partly sunny,
in the mid '70s,mild breeze(better than the last few days[xx(])
May try and take advantage of that and go railfanning ourselves in a bit.[:)]

Maybe a few of them will make it back in for "Saturday's Pizza Fest" !![swg]

...At 1:32 today I saw 3 people standing at the end of the fence at Rochelle....Folks dressed in grey tones...one had white shorts on...One had what looked like it could be a wide brimed ladies hat...?? There was a train passing and they were out at the far end of the fence...Could it have been "them"....??

Good Sunday morning, everyone. Well, looks like we only had 1 pizza eaten
last night. So the rest of the pizzas have been frozen for next Saturday.

Sunday brunch is: turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, biscuits, and
grape jelly and strawberry preserves.

I haven't decided what's for Sunday Dinner, so will get back with you on that.

Everyone have a great day and STAY SAFE out there.
