Mookie, the trouble with those cute little bears is they grow up to be not-so-cute BIG bears. They lose their playfulness and get kinda grouchy. You can have all the bears you want, but you have to fkeep them and feed them at home. [:o)] [:I] [8)]

Now on a nicer note. [:X] I have been thinking about those fur stoves. [;)] When I take Duchess to PetsMart for a bath when it comes time to dry her they put her in a little box that has warm air gently blowing across her. She loves it. So instead of a stove, we could install a "dryer". [:D] I am not even going to think about a "washer" though. [;)] [}:)] [8D]

That kind of reminds me about a joke. The super short verion is this. A little boy wants to wash his dog and buys some laundry soap. The man behind the counter says that soap is way too harsh for the puppy he wants to wash. But the little boy buys it anyway. The next week the little boys goes back to the store and the man ask him about his puppy. The little boy said he died. The man told him the soap was too harsh for puppies. The little boy said, "It wasn't the soap, I think it was the washing machine." [:0] [:0] [:0]

AARRRR That's awful! AARRRR again!

Now - a dryer would be nice. Don't worry about the washer - Mutt and I have our own.

Warm for winter, cool for summer......yeah that has possibilities.

[cherokee woman]

Mookie, I am NOT commenting on your and Mutt's washer!! No, way, uh uh.

Lunch today is plenty of cold cuts It's just way too hot!! On the menu:

1. bologna & cheese
2. ham & cheese
3. pizza Hot Pockets
4. roast beef
5. turkey

Jim, when it comes time for your bath, we'll make sure we use IVORY SNOW;
you know, the one for babies.[:I][;)] [X-)]

A "dryer" would really be nice......So long as it's not the "Fluff & Fold" kind!![:0][swg]

[cherokee woman]

Okay, Joe: I'll make sure he washes behind his ears!!

Well, it's 5:09, and our temp is 91 degrees here. Haven't been out since this morning,
and not planning to go out until the sun goes down some.

Supper tonight: Defrosted some beef stew, and it's simmering on the stove. Turned
the oven on long enough to bake some cornbread. Dessert tonight: peach shortcake:
just like strawberry shortcake, but use peaches instead of strawberries. Got plenty
of whipped cream or Cool Whip to go on them. Or maybe some will want ice cream
on their shortcakes.

Well I found the diner on page two again. [:(!]

It is 6 pm here and still about 92. The good news is . . . the heat index is finally below 100 now. [B)]

I had BLTs for lunch and a ham and cheese omlette for supper, along with hash brown and toast. For some reason breakfast at supper time is always soooo good. [;)]

I even made homemade (but at work mind you) sausage gravy and biscuits, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and bacon for our supper at work Monday night. I taught one of the guys how to make gravy from scratch. [:p] Both of them ate the homemade gravy like it was going out of style. [:p] [:D] [:o)] I do say myself, "It was darn good gravy." [:p] [:D] [:p]

Everyone Take Care

[railfan619]

Boy I feel like a million bucks caus eI just got to see the Milwaukee Road 261 up close tonight here in milwaukee. It was the coolest thing I have ever gotten to seen in my entire life and it will be here untill friday night. I did get some nice pictures but I got to get them uploaded on to my computer and I will most likey to do that tomorrow so everyone can see them. Anywho have a good night and I will be talkin to you all tomorrow.[:D][|)][zzz][zzz][zzz]

[tree68]

Jim - I know what you mean about that Page 2 stuff - I've had to dig it out once or twice myself. And I do home-made gravy, too. Used to amaze people at work that I could cook and bake (my kids will vouch for that!). Now they're used to it...

Looks like that heavy weather is going to pay us a visit in the morning - the commute is supposed to include thunderstorms. I really don't mind, as long as nobody gets hurt and there's no real damage.

Gotta call tomorrow and make sure they need me at the railroad - got a couple of weekends more or less free, so I'll do my duty. Best part is that I can run and get back in time for fireworks on the St Lawrence!

Time to raid the cooler for a bedtime snack.

[cherokee woman]

Good Thursday morning, everyone!! Look who managed to wake up early, for a change.

Had to wake up early this morning, because I needed to get in here, and put up birthday
decorations, because we are celebrating a birthday today. Whose birthday, you ask?
Well, today's birthday person is: JOEKOH!!

[bday]Joe!! [bday][bday] [bday] [bday]

Coffee and juice are ready, and the birthday decorations are up.

Breakfast this morning: pancakes and sausage for Joe's birthday breakfast, along
with sausage gravy and biscuits and scrambled eggs. Joe, what's your favorite
cake? Let me know, and I'll have it baked and decorated, and we'll serve it at lunch
today. Also, what would you like to have served for your birthday lunch, and supper?

[JoeKoh]

thanks cw. chocolate cake will work.just put one slice for me and set the rest on that little table by the hammock.I know it will be taken care of.as for lunch i know how humid and hot it is going to be so how about some sub sandwhiches and chips? and for supper how about some of that pork chop abra-cadabra and smashed taters?did get some storms but not as bad as the toledo area.news showed people with water up to their car windows. thats alot of rain.
stay safe
joe

[cherokee woman]

Okay, Joe: sub sandwiches and chips for lunch. Tell you what: I'll make two
chocolate cakes this morning, one will be a small one, to go on a table next to the
hammock.

Heading to the store right now, to get pork chops for supper tonight.

[Mookie]

mmphffmmpmmfff....... thamx Moe....

ooooooooo - chocolate footprints ooooooooo

Remember Joe - all that fire - STAY SAFE......

Moof....

(Tree - need a fire hose for some bath water)

[tree68]

If anyone sees a wet cat, help it back to the diner. Tried to wet down Mz Mook, but the hose was flowing about 200 gallons per minute and last I saw of our favorite kitty, she was tumbling down the street, leaving an occasional streak of chocolate on the pavement...

I'll be back in the fire truck, with the doors locked. I'd offer chocolate cake as a peace offering, but that's what got us in this mess to start with...

[railfan619]

Good morning everyone how are we this morning fine and dandy. I hope what's up for breakfast I'll just take some juice and a paper this morning well. I hope everyone has a good day and I will be talkin to you all tonight.

get you to do several extra batches of them to help in the celebrations!!!
(you know,stick a candle on 'em)

Mook,

You look like somebody just hosed you down with a 200 GPM fire hose. I think you had better go find the hammock and hope for some sun!

Meanwhile, [bday][bday][bday] Joe! Hope you have a great one!

Well, high is only going to be 79 today, but there's a good threat for some nasty weather, especially out southeast. Might have to jet a little early from work today and go storm chasing.

Well, hope you all have a great day.

TTFN!

Good Morning All

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE

I hope it is a good one. [:D]


Man, it sure has been a rough week for the kitty, [:0] and today is only Thursday, Monday for me. We better find her and stick her in the newly installed pet dryer. But fur(st) [;)] [:o)] a nice gentle wash and fluff, then to the dryer. [:)]

I think we owe Railfan619 a dinner on the house for starting a page. [:p]

The Chinese steam engines ARE finally on the move as of last night.

I have to work tonight. [:(]

Well, that is all the news I can think of for this morning.

Everyone Take Care

Happy Birthday. And thanks for sending over the pictures the other day. It is obvious that Matt is already on his way to becoming a trainmaster checking out the operation of those new engines.

Thanks to every one who replyed to my post bout the fires in Az. This area has many very pretty green belts like the mid west . It is not good to see them burn, not to mention the homes of folks and wildlife . Happy birthday to all who have them today ,and good blessings to all of you. Cannonball

[cherokee woman]

I know it's not quite lunch time yet, but the subs are ready, and in the cooler. Have
set out individual bags of chips on the counter, and the two chocolate cakes are
ready. One of the chocolate cakes is a full size sheet cake. So we should have
plenty of chocolate cake for everyone!!

CP2816, thank you so much for the cinnamon rolls this morning. That made an
extra special treat for today!

See that Jim has made a deal with my local grocer. Arkansas tomatoes at good price. I am sure there is a half bushel on the way to the diner. Get that PFE car number and we can trace the move and make sure the load gets iced on schedule.

[rvos1979]

Afternoon everyone......

Was a sticky one here yesterday, a lot nicer today and it's supposed to be even better tomorrow, just in time for the weekend and the NTPA Grand National pulls in Tomah. Going there tomorrow with a friend, it'll be his first time to a pull this big, and my second time. Sure to be a great show.

I see the damp kitty is still trying to dry herself off, saw a fire engine going the other way on the way in, must be headed to another fire.[:D][:D][:D]

Had a minor fiasco last night at work, upper management forgot to tell us of a change in tire pressure on an order, so had to run over to quality about every hour or so to raise tire pressures on the units. Not my idea of a good time.

See everyone later.

[JoeKoh]

randy
