Good Morning All

Zach, that was pretty funny. [:D]

CW, sorry to hear about the truck driver. [:(]

Mookie, welcome back. [8)]

Well this is my Monday. [B)] [8]

I have to remember to check on the 8701 as soon as I arrive at work. Cross your fingers everyone, we certainly don't want to lose one of the last two CNWs. (Even though it is a GE.)

Well, I'm back from the store, and since no one gave me any suggestions for lunch
or supper, you'll have to be happy with what I selected for lunch:

hot dogs & saur ***, or you can have tuna melt casserole.

There's plenty of chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert.

Joe, thanks for making the coffee and lemonade this morning.

[JoeKoh]

Joe, hot dogs, saur *** and fries works for me, also, for supper.

Haven't seen a Sperry vehicle around here for quite awhile.

Maybe, if it quits raining, Walt and I can go over to Va. Ave., and watch some
trains later.

[blhanel]

Good evening, all, I'm feeling much more cheerful tonight. I went over to the church earlier and helped the decorating folks change some banners, which in our church hang from the walls somewhere around 25 feet above the floor (we have a sanctuary designed like a modern movie theater, with the congregation seated in an inclined area). They needed someone to climb the long, wobbly aluminum extension ladder, so I volunteered.[:O][D)] Oh well, they claim we won't need to change them again until September.

Good Early Morning All

I believe it is a little toooo early to start the coffee so we will wait on that.

Butttttt it is not too early or late to have a piece of the Mississippi Mud Ice Cream Pie. [:0] [B)] [:p] And boy is it good. [:D]

Larry, you started the page, so your supper is on me, errr the house if you will. [:p] Anyway, I was going to see if CW would make a nice Prime Rib for supper tonight, along with the traditional fish of course. I like my Prime Rib . . . MR . That is the best way for it. However, you can have yours any way you like.

Well I think I hear the bed calling. So off I go.

Everyone Take Care

[cherokee woman]

Coffee is ready, juice is made.

Jim, if you're supplying the prime ribs, of course I'll fix them tonight. We'll broil them
and have baked potatoes, garden salad, and home fries with them.

They'll also be the prerequisite Friday Fish Fry w/fries, hushpuppies and cole slaw,
for lunch and supper.

But, for right now, it's breakfast time: sausage, sausage gravy, biscuits, fried
taters are ready.

Everyone have a great day, and enjoy your breakfast!!

[JoeKoh]

stay safe
Joe

[CopCarSS]

Good Morning All,

Larry, truer words, er....letters...ummmm acronym...well you know what I mean were never spoken!

CW & Jim, I'll contribute to the Prime Rib fund. Haven't had a good prime rib since last time I was in Sycamore, IL at Sorrento's Restaurant (right across from the Sycamore Speedway). That sounds absolutely fabulous!

Joe, Hope you and Matt have a good "hunt" today. Get lots of pictures if you find it. I always thought the Sperry stuff was really interesting.

Well, it may be Friday, but I still have a pile of work to do, so I must be off. Hope you all have a great day!

CW Just put it on the account with the meat supplier.

I have been thinking we need to do something a little nicer to bring in the couples crowd on Friday and Saturday nights. So adding some Prime Rib and a few cuts of Porterhouse, N. Y. Strip, Rib Eye, etc., and some nice seafood like shrimp scallops, and some "tail" (lobster of course) [:o)] should do the trick. We can order some nice size baked potatoes and add some simple desserts that look realy fanstatic but are simple to make like Strawberries Galliano .

Sounds like a plan to me. AND we can even use the new outdoor balcony that overlooks the mainline and passenger depot. [:D] It is really a nice place to eat after dark with the candles on the tables and dim lighting that add to the atmosphere. I really think the more romantic will enjoy it much.

Well off I go.

PS CW I love the new cook's moto. [:D]

[JoeKoh]

well matt and I are back but we didnt find mr. sperry. however csx was working on track,signals and crossings from defiance to deshler. all kinds of mow and trucks moving around.guess it was one of their blitzis.we'll take some ice cream for a snack.

For Sat. supper how bout watercress salad w/ pork chops and ma***aters w/ gravy
for dessert , Mississippi Mud pie ?? P.S . Please send rain .Cannonball.

[cherokee woman]

Cannonball, thanks for the suggestion. We'll try that tomorrow night, and have
pork chops, mashed taters w/gravy, and watercress salad ALONG with the
Saturday Night Pizza Fest. And we'll have Mississippi Mud pie for dessert.

And maybe, if everyone agrees, we'll set aside each first Saturday as a "name your
request for Saturday night supper. Will everyone agree with this?

And, I have been wishing and hoping for some of this rain to go back out west,
to Arizona, and give all of you some respite from the dryness.

[SilverSpike]

Just dropin in for quick hello!

And welcome to the weekend!

Cheers,

Ryan

[cherokee woman]

Well, folks, supper's been over for a bit; so, who would like a biiiiig bowl of
popcorn? It's a good snack to have (if you're watching the Reds/Astros
ballgame), or just kicking back and enjoying the evening.

[blhanel]

[JoeKoh]

good morning
juice and coffee are ready.we also have some doughnuts too. will make lemonade for later.have a safe saturday
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Joe, thanks so much for making the coffee and juice! AND, thank you for the
doughnuts this morning. That makes a great Saturday morning breakfast.

I'll have cold cuts sandwiches ready around 1 p.m. EDT for lunch, and chips
to go with the sandwiches.

EVERYONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY 1P.M. IF YOU WANT OUR
REGULAR SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST, CANNONBALL'S SUGGESTION
OF PORK CHOPS, ETC., OR BOTH FOR SUPPER TONIGHT!!

I need to know, so I'll know what all I have to be fixing today!!

[blhanel]

I won't be around until later tonight, as I'm going to watch an airshow (Blue Angels!), so pizza will be the ideal choice for me. But if others want the pork chops, go for it, as long as it doesn't frazzle the cook!

[CopCarSS]

I won't be around either as I have a graduation to shoot. So if you could stick a slice of pepperoni in the fridge for me, CW, I'd be appreciative.

Brian, enjoy the Blue Angels. I've never seen them, but have caught the Thunderbirds a couple times. The precision is simply dazzling.

Well, have a couple runs to make this morning, and then I had better make sure all my batteries are charged and memory cards are cleared.

Hope you all have a great day.

TTFN!

[jeaton]

Just stoping in for a quick lunch on whatever happens to catch my fancy. The July Trains arrived this morning, just a few more hours to go on the last major project getting the place ready for the graduation party next week and the weather could not be more perfect if I had made it myself.

Might pop back in later, but it will probably be well after dinner time. Have a good one.

Jay

[cherokee woman]

Cannonball, we'll have your supper request tomorrow for Sunday Dinner, since
it looks like patrons will be on the sparse side this afternoon, evening.

I've got the pizzas ready to pop in the oven, starting about 7 p.m. EDT. The pizzas
on the menu tonight:

1. cheese
2. supreme
3. special
4. goetta

I've made two extra large of each one.

[CSXrules4eva]

CW your going to pop the pizzas in at 7. OK well I think I'll put an early order in. Extra Chesse Large pizza. I don't think I'll eat it all tonight but, I garantee you that over 6 slices will be eat up!! Oh can I have a Sprite to go with that too??

Well, it's rainy here in Philadelphia, PA. Last night we had our first LIGHTING storm in a long while. It was BEAUTIFUL!! Espeacilly, when your looking at reverse lighting over a hill. Lighting also hit the Cox communications tower only about 5 mins from my house. That bolt of lighting was WOW!...........................

Today, lets see a little later on I might head out to the Schuykill River banks in West Conshohocken, PA to do some "Flash Flood River Watchin'"

[JoeKoh]

well matt and i made new friends in deshler and had a great time. will take some pizza to go lots of train action. and csx #1 spirit of west virginia is heading south from deshler.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Sarah and everyone else, I actually got going on cooking the pizzas early!! So,
Sarah, here's your extra large, extra cheese pizza!

Everyone else, come and get whichever pizza you want (or a slice of each, if you
so prefer.

Not sure if we'll go do any train watching this evening, but definitely planning on
it for tomorrow afternoon. Been too busy this afternoon, doing other things around
the house.

[switch7frg]

CW <>>> Fine and dandy with me I can already taste the tender watercress shoots just thinkin' bout that supper. With all the rain you folks got, is your feet webbed yet??
Just a small threat of rain over towards Payson . I guess the only rain we will see is on tv. See ya' later . Cannonball

[JoeKoh]

[cherokee woman]

Good Sunday morning everyone! Trying to wake up, working on my first
cup of coffee.

Joe, thanks for putting the coffee on, and making the juice.

Breakfast this morning: blueberry muffins and strawberry muffins.

The pork chops, mashed taters, gravy and watercress salad will be

Good Morning All

It is sunny and warm here today. No rain in sight, and low humidity are in store for today.

Yesterday was fairly busy and I expect as many trains today. It sure makes a big difference when I can get an early start on the weekends.

Well today is my Thursday, I can't wait for my Friday at 11 pm. [:p]

Duchess has been outside for about 2 hours. I just brought her back in and now she wants to go back out. Arggggghhhhhhhhhh.

I worked 4 hours overtime Thursday night / Friday morning and still have not caught up on sleep from it. Someone has been getting MY beauty sleep, trust me, I can tell. [B)] [8]

Well off I go. I have a few things to do before going to work.
