Turkey for lunch? Great. It'll set me up for that nap I'd like to take this afternoon, too!

Well, it's almost lunch time. Hmm, wonder if there's going to be enough people in here to
eat what I've fixed for today.

Today's lunch and supper menu: turkey, dressing, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and dumplings.

And dessert: your choice of pumpkin, pecan, or apple pie.

CW,
You've definately made a meal to feel me up. You know I ain't going to be worth a hoot this afternoon.after eating all that GREAT food. If I have room for dessert, I'll take a little piece of pecan pie.

I may have to pass on supper this evening also.

The M&M Boys came back from the dead?[sigh][sigh][sigh]

CW - Did Mutt place a call? Curious[%-)][%-)][C):-)]

[eolafan]

Thanks CW for the offer but many too many M&M candies over the weekend and I now find myself in need of only a dish of yogurt and a bran muffin...oh goodie.

[blhanel]

Eh, you only live once. One heaping plate of tryptophan, please!

Now, now Sir Chicken. It is going to be all right. You should beep dreathly and be careful of the aspirin. Don't want to aggrevate the ulcer that you got over M & M.

Ponder - what good is asperagus or mosquitos? Puts it all in perspective doesn't it!

Jay; Thanks for sharing those pictures,really good shots !!![^]
(Also the other ones.)

MC; haven't been on the computer until now, just got that......will get to
that shortly. Thanks for the reply.[:)]

[cherokee woman]

Okay, folks, since hardly anyone is interested in the lunch/supper menu, we'll change
it to turkey sandwiches for supper, with orange cream bars or cherry, orange or grape
popsicles for dessert. How's that sound?!?!

Roast cousin on a bun? No thanks.

I'll settle for roast Swede on a stick. Preferably the Swedish Geodimeter/Trimble technician that unleashed the Model 5600 total station menace on us unsuspecting U.S. mudchickens.

Sounds like a typical Monday to me.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Looks like it's going to be another nice morning,
but chance of showers/t-storms this afternoon.

Congrats to Carl and Mudchicken, for 3000 posts!! Way to go, guys!!

Carl, I want to see you around here more often, okay? Haven't heard from you for
awhile.

Coffee is on, and juice is made. Actually, have several kinds of juice, so take your
pick in the cooler.

Got regular breakfast items on the breakfast warmer bar. Already have about ten
people, who've come to sign up for Produce today. Hope they bring some more
watermelon today.

See you later,

The Cook[C=:-)]

Maybe he went to a Gallagher performance last night...[(-D][(-D][(-D]

[Mookie]

I am exhausted. Been out cleaning up some forum postings! Gotta come to diner and unholster my 6-shooter!

Hey all! Monday afternoon - and I saw all of the following!

A thermite weld in progress. Lots of Tonka Toys. A really, really cute mini-cat on a flatbed - a D64? It was just a mini-version of the big guy.

Also saw - a Dash 9 - (big deal) but the G28 behind it was!

And a CSX SD50! (8572) (according to my book)

Good afternoon trackside! I think I am in love!

Moooooo.....

Sounds more like he's been watching Mail Call and R. Lee trying to
slice & dice with Swords,Machine Guns,Bows & Arrows,Catapults,etc.[:D][(-D][(-D]

Tip Top of the Morning to you all,

Sorry about my absence yesterday...it was one of those Mondays I guess.

Well, could've gone storm chasing yesterday, but not in one of the usual spots out on the plains. There were several reports of tornadoes in the San Luis Valley around Alamosa yesterday. That's kind of an odd occurence. Thankfully it doesn't sound like there was too much damage done.

Congrats to MC and Carl on the 3000 post mark. It certainly is a blessing to have so many knowledable people around here willing to share their wisdom. Thanks guys!

Well, guess I had better be on my way. Hope you all have a great day!

[jeaton]

Same on the 3000 post guys. Fritz will come in this morning and do the watermellon clean-up. His specialty is clean up of anything with a high sugar content. I guess the cat didn't get sprayed with flying watermellon juice because otherwise we would witness a dog "grooming" a cat.

Let see, the agenda for today is mowing before the pm rains arrive, house keeping and packing for a trip down to Cincy for a few days. Nothing about train stuff on the list.[sigh]

[tree68]

Note to all patrons - Six Shooters and Brass Knuckles to be checked at the door...

It's interesting to note that both MC and Carl are real railroaders (each in his own way), dealing with the big iron on a daily basis, and they still come in here with those of us who do our railroading virtually or through the lens. Thanks for your time and your knowledge, guys!

[mudchicken]

Tree: Carl still gets a railroad paycheck, I'm just another of those guys with a briefcase and 50 miles from home (consultant, anymore), although I get to be Chief Engineer for a shortline when called to do so....

OK - Loading up on Gatorade. Get to spend the rest of the day at North Yard (purple haze!, again) ducking Uncle Pete's yard engines and then off to DUT....Now that the swede (geodemeter/trimble) has been skewered, the Japanese guy (Sokkia/Leitz) gets a chance to produce.

Chris: Nice San Luis Valley fixer-upper ya got there. SE Colorado has a few of those as well. (and most haven't figured out that half of Colorado is actually Kansas by another name.)

Mooks: we had a little discussion with Lilly this morning about hairballs in my workboots. Bad enough she sticks her head in there all the time and hasn't surrendered one of her 9 lives.[:(]

[banghead][banghead][banghead]

[Mookie]

Lillie 1 Sir Chicken - new boots? Smart Kitty! It's big, round and smells like where garbage should be deposited.......

Trust me, that was very short-lived. [;)]

I noticed the topic just minutes after it surfaced and emailed Da Man. [;)] He laid it to rest post haste.



I have been pretty busy trying to keep in touch with people who could track and trace the steam engines as they made their way north. They took a strange route. It definately was not a straight shot or the quickest route to get their. [B)] But they finally made it to Galesburg. So we will continue to monitor them and see what is going on with them. [:)]

Today is one of my days off BUT, I have to go in for loco moving recertification. So this week I will only get one day to myself.

The weather is not as hot this week. The humidity is lower too. [:)] We have been having some nice wind from the north too.

Everyone Take Care

You're still a lot closer to the rails than most of us. [:)] We appreciate your knowledge and expertise.

Actually, that bugger is out in NE Colorado, up kind of around the Pawnee Buttes. My cuz and I decided to check out "West Kansas" one weekend. Will change the sig. shot to a pic of the Buttes themselves in a couple days.
