You may have to wait until Houston Ed surfaces for air. He may know approximately where they are.....

Ed,

Any of that extra water down your way sure could be used up here. Had a fire in Golden yesterday...that's getting a little too close to home...

Are we getting an automatic hammock swinger? A snack machine with kibbles? A milk chiller? A warm spot in the sun with a comfy sofa to lie on? A beauty shop to do fur and nails? A fur store? Cosmetics store? Catnip shop? Jewelry store - ah - most important!

I love upgrades!

When I posted the plans, I didn't get into all the details, and everything you requested is already on the list. [:)]

Jay,

Can we get a theatre with a digital projection device for digital slide shows (and maybe a slide projector for a more traditional approach to sharing pictures)?

Um ...Chris:

Local media reports on a "measley " 30 Acre in JeffCo and a 15,000 Acre fire near Holly goes un-noticed. (Yes that's five digits to the left of the decimal point)....Maybe Ed can ship the water up here in empty gons or hoppers[:D] I don't think Larry has enough hose to reach over this far.

This is gonna be a really long summer - weinies and marshmallows custom roasted by real Southeastern Colorado (nearly Kansas) real estate.

Good evening, everyone. Been a hot one this afternoon. Right now, we are under a
severe thunderstorm watch until 10 p.m. EDT. Wish we could turn the rain around,
and send it back towards Arizona and Colorado!!

Supper tonight: (Sorry MC): chicken drumsticks w/mashed taters & gravy, corn
and peas.

Dessert: still have cake left from yesterday.

Guess we could do one of the meeting rooms that way. If we name the room after your, can you get the virtual cash for the cost of the set up?

Sure...I'll just sell off a little bit of my virtual stock when I talk to my virtual broker tomorrow! [8D]

MC, did you really expect that the Denver media to know about anything east of E470? That's really more like an extension of Western Kansas instead of Eastern Colorado! [:0][(-D]

Good afternoon everyone how is we all doin fine and dandy. I hope well I had a good day I work for a couple of hours today which was not to bad.But anywho nothing new has much happened over here well execpt that we finally got some much needed rain around here yesterday and yes we did have some really nasty weather here in most parts of the state well execpt in the south eastern part of the state where. I live oh well that's about it from this end. Hope everyone has a good night and I will be talkin to you all later.

[cherokee woman]

Well, guess who got a storm, just about supper time. That's right: Mutt and I. In about
45 minutes, we a good 1 1/2 in. Lot of heavy rain, and wind. No hail around us, that we
know about. Reports of trees, branches and wires down all around us; but fortunately,
we didn't have that. Just a couple of branches down from your trees. Our large 90 gal.
garbage bin was blown half way across the front yard, along with the recycling bins.

Chris and MC, the wind gusts got up to about 60 mph. But we wouldn't DARE send you all
the wind: that would have made the fires out your way much worse!! And we don't want
to do that to you all.

[railfan619]

Good eveing everyone well it's starting to cool off around here which is a good thing cause to tell you the truth. I'm gettin real tired of the hot weather and yea. I know we got aonther 2 months of it but anywho it should be nice around here the next couple of days with temps in the upper 60's to mid 70's with lower humitidy which will be a good thing. CW how did it feel to get some much needed rain down by you. I'm sure it felt pretty good huh. Anywho that's really bout it from this end hope everyone has a good night and I will be talkin to you all later. [|)][|)][zzz][zzz][zzz]

Perhaps set the room up like an obs car?

MC - You're right - Not enough hose here. I'm sure if you called her, my sister (lives in Aurora) would be glad to work the bucket brigade. Their favorite camping spot escaped incineration in the big fire a year or two ago, but everything around it burned.

[switch7frg]

Here in No. Ariz . ( choke choke ) The area is turning into one big incinerater .
At least 5 fires in our forests , with no rain in sight Just wind and more wind .
5 air tankers and 3 droop snoot choppers and 2 choppers with bambi buckets .
This is just for Sedona . Several Hotshot crews are on line as well. Gonna be a looong hot summer . CW ; a real time apology bout the stove . A virtuial check is headed to the building fund . There is a 4-6-2- engine from the round house to supply steam for the grate shaker . It will be dispatched white flag when needed. Pray for us some rain please . Cannonball.

[switch7frg]

OOPS,
I forgot to add a coal stoker to the list C B

[cherokee woman]

Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Cannonball, I'm still praying for you all to get some
of this rain we've been getting!! But my prayers aren't being answered.[:(] As a matter
of fact, we're getting thunder (not sure about lightning) as a type (speak).

Coffee is ready, and fresh juice is in the cooler.

Breakfast this morning is on the warmer bar: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs,
hash browns, biscuits, sausage gravy; and in the cooler, cantaloupe slices and
watermelon chunks.

I'll be back when I get through with Produce; if I'm not back, could someone please
take care of lunch for me?

Boy! It is a good thing I arrived when I did! This forum needs some straightening out.

1: It is flooding in Houston, which will help Colorado. The earth is round and just as soon as it spins around a couple of times, the water will run up to Colorado and put out the fires.

2: AZ is east of I-5 and nothing happens east of I-5......so those can't be wildfires almost in that canyon. In fact, there is probably no canyon - but we will never know.

3: This virtual diner is so big you will need a roadmap to find anything. Youse guys had better think about having a diner with an attached garage, attached movie house/electonics center/playground, an attached boat house for the virtual lake - well, you get the idea. So back to the drawing board. Meanwhile leave the diner small so CW and I don't get lost!

4: We are in the middle of global warming in the summers, global cooling in the winters.

5: This is exhausting - so will grab a big cup of coffee and go look for a familiar ankle with scars all over it. Going to be an exciting day - I feel it in my fur!

[:-^][tup][:-,]

[JoeKoh]

first night back to work yuk!! wouldnt mind sending our rain we got last night to colorado.hopefully ed wont need a pontoon boat to do any switch jobs today.
stay safe
joe

[tree68]

Sun today here - but threat of some thunderstorms. At least we aren't dry, so lightning won't be an issue.

I'm sure we'll be seeing the results of those wildfires in our sunsets - you'd be amazed how far that smoke actually carries. We got actual smoke, at ground level, from fires in northern Quebec a few years ago. It was bad enough that people were reporting fires based on the smell of smoke and the glow of lights at night.

The diner isn't all that big - and the cooler (chocolate cake) and the hammock aren't all that far apart!

Time to get to work, and contemplate mowing the lawn when I get home. Just mowed the back yard Saturday, but I think the rain finally caused that fertilizer to kick in...

Morning All,

Thanks to all for prayers and other efforts to send water this way. Had a bunch of dry lightning yesterday that had fires popping up just about everywhere.

Larry, you are right about the smoke. When we had the really bad year (2002 I think it was) we had lots of smoke in Denver. It was actually a neat effect...filtered the sunlight and gave off sunset-esque light all day long.

Truthfully, the fires wouldn't be such a bad thing, provided of course that they could leave people and their property alone. My trips to Yellowstone have never ceased to amaze me just how quickly and completely Mother Nature can take care of herself. If I remember right, one of the big trees out west (Giant Sequoia or Redwood maybe?) actually needs fire to release its seeds for baby giants to grow.

Meanwhile Brian, I've gotten out the tourniquet again. You won't be needing any aloe vera this time with it, will you?

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

Chris

A fur store?

I am not sure about the fur stove. I think it would require large amounts of fur to do much cooking. I would also imagine the smell of burning fur would not be to pleasant and might possibly "flavor" the food. I am not sure CW would want to shovel all the fur necessary to do much cooking. I also bet the Health Department might have something to say about it. [:o)] [8D]

And how is everyone this morning? [:)]

Another hot day here and getting hotter as we speak. After the rains we had it is already dying out and the grass is dying again. I don't have much motivation this morning. When I work the ready track it takes a lot out of me. We had some 5 and 6 unit consists last night and as usual anytime you get over about 4 units you are asking for trouble. [:(!] We didn't have to go looking for trouble, it found us. [:(] [V]

This would be a good day to close the shades, put on some gentle thunderstorm "rain" (sound recordings you know) and take a long nap. I just wish I could.
