Ok - need some of Randy's coffee. How can you make something you don't drink and how do you get your motor running?

A big starter and lots of battery power[:-^][:-^][swg][swg] I usually don't have too much trouble getting up in the morning, some days are harder than others.

Had a little rain here earlier, sun hasn't come back out yet, and it can stay in the clouds, I like the cool weather.

Well, gotta get rolling for work tonight, Happy Birthday to all our birthday people!

Brian, Sounds good. I hope you can get more time then just an evening though. What way will you be going, I-40?

Just got a call from my son- now they're talking about moving it back a week, so now it's the 27th?[banghead]

Since I'm going it alone, I'm not allowed to dally (Joanie doesn't like spending nights alone). Hence we'll only have one evening if we're lucky (hopefully the kids will be organized and ready to load when I get there). I'll be going via Denver and I-70 to I-15 and trying to make it a two-day trip out, two-day trip back.

[JoeKoh]

Brian have a safe trip.thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.mookie looks priceless with her party hat on and chocolate frosting around her mouwth.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Brian, do be careful on your trip. May it be a very safe one.

Joe, hope Matt is enjoying his birthday today!!

Tonight's supper: double cheese pizzas for our birthday girl, and birthday boy.

Other pizzas on the menu: supreme, sausage/pepperoni, and goetta.

Gee, wish I had thought, and gotten a picture of the birthday cakes. Darn it,
KNEW I was forgetting something!![:(]

[CSXrules4eva]

OK Mookie if you want to have some of my Extra Chesse Pizza you have to.....................get up on your hind leggs, say meow.....and put one paw up.......I need to see cute "puppy dog eyes" too. Just kidding....................you can have some if you want some.

I want to thank everyone in here for wishing me a Happy B-day! It feels good not to be a teenager anymore! [:D][:D]

CW, I think I'm ready to chow down on that cake now. MMmmmmmmmmm me want cake![dinner]

Sorry I haven't been in here much to anyone that was wondering where have I been. That answer is simple I've been at work. The promotion into Management at my Company has given me more work, than before, espeacilly in dealing with customers.

[Anonymous]

Sorry I haven't been here in a while things have been busy. I was evicted because our Carpeting was being cleaned so I am still recovering from that and cleaned most of the day.

Good Evening All

I have been real busy again today. Lots of errands to run on my day off and I usually find lots of other stuff to do also. I can make a list that just seems to grow instead of getting smaller.

Duchess is going to have a minor surgery to remove her growth. They said it was nothing to worry over but you know how people are with their pets, they are just like kids to us.

It is funny how quickly two days off can fly by when the work week drags on. [:(!] I have not been able to figure that one out as yet. [8]

There is a lot of fuss over the Chinese steam engines going to Iowa. I think it is an insult that they didn't find American steam engines. Sorry to be the stick in the mud on this one, but it gripes my goat.

I bet the crewmen who work in the cab won't be too happy about it either. It will be HOT in the cab. [:0]

Happy Belated Birthday to the birthday boy and girl. [:D]

Everyone Take Care

[cherokee woman]

Good Thursday morning, everyone. I think I'm awake, not really too sure, yet.
Coffee is ready, and the orange juice is made and in the cooler.

Breakfast this morning: BLTs and cereal.

Jim, know how you feel about Duchess. I'm sure she'll make it though her
surgery just fine. When will she have her surgery? We'll remember her in
our prayers.

[JoeKoh]

jim we will say a prayer for duchess.matthew enjoyed his birthday.his pre-school even got him a lionel piggy bank!we are taking today and monday off for a long weekend but it sounds like its going to be HOT also csx has a mess in walbridge yard too.can they get the trains moving again soon? time will tell.
stay safe
Joe

[Mookie]

What is this with everyone so busy - it is supposed to be summer and lazy. It is even busy here - at least in my 1/4 of the universe.

Sarah - glad I didn't have to perform for pizza. It would not have been pretty. Congrats on management job. I dealt with the public for many years and now just grateful that I only have to answer an occasional phone call. They will wear you out!

Jim - Mookie had one of those eye cysts. It never was removed and her demise was from other complications. But cosmetic-wise - it bother me more than her. Just didn't want to put her through more surgery at her advanced age. Duchess will be back to her cute self in no time!

CW - Randy's coffee was so good - maybe we should ask him to branch out into lattes, au laits, frappacinos. Mutt could buy us some really big mugs and those of us that like "odd" coffees could drink lots of coffee and throw sand all day! [:D]

Laughing at my own jokes just wears me out!

And Good Morning to you All,

Please excuse me if I look a little "off" this morning. Still trying to recover from 100ºF temperatures yesterday![xx(] Thankfully, our high should be in the 80's today, and I hear tale we may even only top out in the 70's tomorrow. Oh how lovely that would be!

Jim, hope everything works out with Duchess. It's amazing how attached we can get to our critters. One of these days I'm still going to get Chiquito (my chihuahua) back from my mom. That's kind of a long story... Still, he'd be pretty happy here right now. Even at 100º, you might still find him hiding under a blanket (no joke). Of course if it gets windy, rainy or snowy he turns into a little chicken (whoops...sorry MC)....I mean a scaredy cat (ummmm....didn't mean that Mook)....uhhhh.... he just doesn't like it.

Well, I guess I must be off. Hope you all have a great day! TTFN!

[cherokee woman]

Guess since hardly anyone is in here, we'll just have tuna salad sandwiches w/your
choice of fries or tater chips for lunch. Also got plenty of coffee, iced tea (sweetened
and unsweetened), lemonade, and tropical punch Kool-Aid. Also have plenty of
milk, if anyone wants that.

Desserts today: leftover birthday cakes, apple cobbler, and mixed fruit Jell-O.

[Anonymous]

Well it is Monday again. [:(] Where did my weekend go? [B)] [8]

Hey guys and gals, if you have not checked out this topic please do so. These people deserve some attention and praise for what they have accomplished. It is something everyone of us would like to do, but some of us just can't. Please also post in their thread to keep it going and showcase their work. THANKS. [:)]

http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=67662

AND they DIDN'T get their steam engine from China either. [:D]

Well it is going to be about 95 today. The humidity will boost the heat index 2 to 5 degrees tho. [:(] I'm singing in the humidity, just singing in the humidity. What a wonderful feeling, I'm (not) happy again. [:o)] [:D] [:o)] <Jim's verson of Singing In The Rain.>

I am thinking about putting Duchess' surgery off a few weeks. Not sure just when I will go ahead with it. Thanks for your concern.

Everyone Take Care

It just so happens that I have a bunch of large cups in the stockroom,
along with some really good headbands;so I'm fixing each one of you up
with a cup on each side,with appropriate tubing to drink from. I'm fixing
one up for myself also,amazing how much time you can save on the job
by not having to make as many trips to the coffee pot.[:D]
[I've not quite figured out the other part of that 'tho;so you still have to
go when you gotta.[(-D][(-D][}:)]]

I'm not sure about "throwing sand all day",I like digging in dirt more!![:I][(-D][(-D]

[JoeKoh]

mutt if you like digging in the dirt along us 24 there are huge piles of it around. going to G+G tonight to put in their AC.who needs a refill on the lemonade or tea?
stay safe

[:0] Sorry honey but I broke down in Dagget and it took all day for the local shop to make repairs.[;)][:D]

Seriously though, give me a hollar when the time gets closer.

[tree68]

Been busy here at the grind - don't get a lot of chances to duck in. Will have to forgo dinner here for a firemen's dinner (steak!).

At least the weather here is decent, although a few folks got surprised by a rogue rain shower this afternoon (I missed it). Everything is nicely dried out now.

Later.

[cherokee woman]

Supper is ready, if anyone is here to eat it: chicken & dumplings. It's in the Crock
Pot, keeping warm. Made the broth nice and thick.

Drinks are the same: iced tea, lemonade, and fruit punch.

Desserts are the same ones that were on the lunch menu.

[blhanel]

Mmmmm!!![dinner]

[railfan619]

Good eveing everyone I'm finally back cause we just got our new key board but it's very ugly but aleast. I can write again [yeah] so how has everyone been doin cause it's been a long time since I have written here. But anywho I have started my summer duty at work right now it's still slow only one or two charters a week for now but come the end of june begining of july and even into august it will get really busy around the bus company meaning routes and charters and other stuff to. But anyway hope everyone has a good nite and I will be talkin to you all later...[:D][zzz][zzz][zzz]

[tree68]

RF619 - If it has keys, it works. On the other hand, I still can't get used to those V-shaped "ergonomic" keyboards.

Fire Chief's dinner was good - charbroiled steaks, baked potatoes, ice cream for dessert. On the other hand, that chicken and dumplings wouldn't have been a bad choice.

A little excitement during the event - the host fire department was called out to a working fire. They got a good hit and weren't there long.

[JoeKoh]

good morning
juice coffee and lemonade are ready to go for today.suppossed to be the 3 h's today.we have a cooler with bottled water by the door. take a couple on the way back out.
stay safe
joe

[cherokee woman]

Good Friday morning, everyone. As Joe said, it's going to be a 3H day today.
Maybe we'll have people in here, so they can keep cool!!

We have muffins and doughnuts for breakfast this morning. Joe, thank you!!
That coffee is really waking me up this morning!!

Spent two hours over at my neighbor's house yesterday afternoon. Was trying
to clear someone else name and password out of her laptop. Looks like the
person who cleared everything that was on it, when she got it, cleared it all right:
then he set it up for himself to use, and locked all the folders and everything, so
that now that she has it back, she can't use it!! Boy, is she peeved off at him!!
It's an IBM laptop, with Windows 95.

Everyone have a great day, and stay safe out there.

Busiest time seems to be supper time! Do firefighters ever really get to sit down and eat a meal?

First time in a while I can remember this monthly event being interrupted.

Newpaper article featured the quick hit - especially important because a several years ago they lost a whole block in this particular town...

[CNW 6000]

Hey all...just peeking in to snag a donut and some OJ. Gotta work 9-6 today! At least I'll be at the pool! C-ya later!

BTW: Patched CNW -9 spotted on CN tracks here in WI!

[CopCarSS]

Good Morning All,

Well what a treat we have in store here in Denver today! It's only going to be in the 70's! Of course, it's only going to last a day, but that's alright. I'll take what I can get right now!

Guess I must be off to work here. Hope you all have a great day!

TTFN!

[locomutt]

Chris,saw in our paper today where Colorado was still under
extreme fire danger........would say we would try to send you all
some moisture,but I think we're supposed to be in the 90s the
next several days,with higher humidity to go along with.[V]

Don't think we'll have anything to send,other than "the heat of the day"
"pop-up" showers,if any.

CW says she has two fryers going with fish (cod) and there's some
halibut,perch & trout on the grill cooking.(along with potatos,corn on the cob,
peppers,etc.)
There are also plenty of different kinds of sandwiches and garden salads
for any one that wants them.
(eventhough it's Fri.,we do have other foods on the menu besides fish.[:)] )
