Sarah,Kozzie,LC;glad to see you all made it in to the "New Digs".
The place should be a little bit larger and brighter for you all.

Sarah,too bad some of that "snow" isn't still around,we sure could use
a great big "cool down" now!!!!   (nice picture!!)

LC, I don't think the "management" has authorized the sale of
any beverages like that.

[louisnash]

Alrighty now, I have looked around for the last couple days and like what I see here. I just need to figure out how to put one of those cute little pictures under my name like most everyone else has.

I just got done mowing about 45 minutes ago and need a snack. Are the any leftovers in the fridge at "The Cook's" house.

Everyone have a great evening and great weekend. I get to play volleyball in blistering heat tomorrow night. Oh, what fun.

IT'S HOT!!! But I ain't complaining much. It could be worse.

Ah thank God this old track gang is still around ...

Let's see, maybe a few days to find out if I can take an effective hack at the new Trains website look.

Heh, I think it was so slick that I nearly fell off.

I think I'll bum around here fer a while.

[Modelcar]

....With Tree68 indicating that beaut of a stone bridge being built in 1850....Just sight across the top of it and see how straight it still is....!  I really wonder if that stone work could be completed today...I suppose so but that is a piece of work.

[Modelcar]

Dave...I'm sure you are not along on here with that thought.

I don't even know if our Bio followed us....I see all the boxes to install new, but wonder what happened to the old one....Including the picture....??

I know one thing....If I was upside down and had to figure all this out, it would not happen....Ha...

QM    {That's another...How do we affix our signiture so it appears automatically.

[Kozzie]

Thanks Quentin  - it will take time, like all big changes.  Can you send any rain Downunder?  Three of the four eastern seaboard States down here are in the grip of a protracted drought.  There are very few towns, cities and local government areas that are not under some form of water restrictions.

   Glad to be here , the re reg only took 2 cans of my  favorate  non caffene beverage .

                                      Seeyou all on the flip side      [:)]  Cannonball

[CNW 6000]

Only 2 cans?  Heck I'm still wrestling with the signature and color for text within it!  I'm taking a break and heading to an adult beverage place of business!  BTW anyone familiar with the fairly recent remake of "The Longest Yard"?

[locomutt]

Brian (Ky)No,there aren't any "snacks" left here,
that's why I had to come in....so I could get something to
munch on before I go down tonight..and a COLD glass of Tea.

Kozzie,don't know if we can send the rain that far to you,
but we would be more than happy to do so.It's not really been
an overly "wet" season here,but we've had more than our share.

Switch8frg,glad you could get off the road for awhile and
come back in for a visit,always enjoy hearing from ya!!

[Mookie]

%^~^% -  Say - I kind of like the new color scheme.  Now I will have a lot more earrings to wear.

MC - You are back and you brought Gus!  Hot Dog! 

Quentin:  You should be able to go to your profile and everything there should be as before, except for the picture.  You may have to click an ok to make sure your profile doesn't need changing, but then your signature should show up. 

Pictures all disappeared.  I was lucky - I had a nice young man that does our programming help me with my avatar.  It didn't look all that hard - but over someone's shoulder is not quite like doing it. 

BC - thanx for my avatar.  Do you remember it?

CW - I tried to write you a personal message, but haven't quite got the hang of send and delete....well, that's because I have no opposable thumbs (makes a good excuse anyway.  Try typing with a paw!)  But thanx for the compliment.  See above.

100 degrees this weekend will not put much of a crimp in my train watching.  It will however, definitely put a crimp in me.  Need to install a sprinkler under our favorite bridge while we watch in the shade.  Maybe a lemonade stand - (for the wildlife of course)

Just remember people - you don't have to sand, scrape, shovel or slide on this.  In fact you don't have to do anything.  It is just there!

Mookie, love your new earrings!!  If you're ready, I've got a big mug of coffee ready for you,
along with a small bowl of milk.  Or, would you like orange juice or lemonade this morning? 

Breakfast this morning:  bacon, eggs, sausage, gravy, hash browns, or you can have oatmeal, or
rice w/toast. 

Got some nice fish for today.  Cod, flounder, catfish, perch, and tuna steaks. 

Think we'll serve breakfast out on the balcony this morning.  Should give us a clear view of the tracks,
and it is such a nice morning. 

Everyone have a great day, and take care.

Joe - I will be sure to send Matt all my quarters.  Imagine driver will give me most of them - he's the lemonade person in the family. 

Thanx for milk CW.  Drink of choice!

Thanks Jen.....I'll have to scratch around and see if I can find it....As for the pic, well....guess it's just out of here...Never could do that.  Maybe it's better.  Have a good day and weekend.

heya guys, just saying g'day and letting you know I got through the forum transition ok

[Modelcar]

Sorry Dave...No extra rain right here to share....It's been very spotty.  Some parts of Indiana recently had up to 4 inches and we've had a fraction of that here. 

Mowed our yard again yesterday and all the brown spots aren't quite recovered to green yet, although it looks pretty good overall.  We are in a very warm and humid time now....{typical for Indiana this time of the year}, but it sure is sticky outside. 

Hope you fellows do get some rain....Don't let it run away since you are upside down you know.....

QM

[james saunders]

speaking of rain, we could use some, anyone got some spare?

Buenos Dias!

Well, despite the mercury climbing very high here yesterday, I went out for about a 30 mile bike ride. Wasn't too bad except for the mosquitos! Having a weekend full of rain followed by hot, dry weather is a perfect recipe for lots of those buggers. Oh well...the benefit was that it made me keep my pace up (they couldn't bite what they couldn't catch!)

Speaking of hot weather, I thought I'd put up my first picture to decorate the new place. Check this out:

That was taken on the Tundra Trail near the Rock Cut on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park last weekend. The temperature up there was aroun 40ºF, the windspeed was around 35 mph, and there was snow mixed in with the rain! Ah yes...if you don't like the weather in Colorado, wait 15 minutes or drive 15 miles!

Well, must be off to tackle a rather large pile of work that has amassed on my desk. Hope you all have a great day!

TTFN!

Good Morning All

It is nice to see James from down under join us.    

It is going to be another hot one here.  We had a quick shower this morning but there was blue sky overhead at the time.    It bearly rained enough to move the dust around on the truck. 

I would love to trade 10 degrees of summer hot weather for 10 degress of winter weather for the next 2 months.     When you step outside it is like stepping into an oven. 

Nothing else to report today. 

Everyone Take Care

Whew, Man is it hot out!!

//Looks around in new cooler//

Cool, Bergie put in those tanks I wanted!

//Runs outside, brings in what looks to be a set of tappers, installs on counter, runs back out with pallet jack, brings in two pallets of dry Gatorade and Squincher products, puts in cooler, adds product to tanks, turns on water to fill tanks, fires up pumps for the tappers//

There, this is now the only place I know of with Gatorade and Squincher on tap!!

Anyway, was hot enough yesterday at work that they brought out the Squincher halfway through the night, was needed as I went through at least a gallon of water and Gatorade combined.  Gotta work tonight, hopefully will be a fast night.  Also heard at our meeting last night that plant quality left a lot to be desired (heard something along the lines of a 120% defect rate, not good) but it seemed our hours and quality were the best in the plant (and we aim to keep it that way!)

Stay cool everyone, feel free to use the new Gatorade and Squincher taps, I got a line running to the outside for filling Mudchicken's 55-gallon IV drip as well.

[tree68]

I'm glad you  put in two Gatorade taps - one for MC and one for the rest of us. 

I may need one myself this weekend - definitely working on the RR, and it is supposed to be hot. Packing lots of water!

Got a report directly from the front that there are still a few glitches in the system, but they are working them out.  Finally got all my stuff straight. 

And it's almost time to head home - see if I can catch my barber.  Her working hours seem to be "open at 9, some days at 10, etc, close at 6, some days at 5, or maybe noon."

I'll be back in later for some supper.

[CShaveRR]

SJ, I vaguely remember the avatar.  Trying to think of a good one for myself.

I envy you your bike trip, Chris--I got up this morning to rain, which quit by the time I was driving to work.  Never came back here, though I understand that nearby locals are being hit. 

Saw a very special locomotive this afternoon before leaving work.  Unfortunately, everything walkway and above was covered by tarp.

I think the closet will have to hold a keg or two of my favorite, too, if I am to stay around.  We're due for upper 90s by Sunday.

Don't worry, Carl:  I have PLENTY of Diet Mountain Dew on tap for you!!  Always keep a very good
variety of all the soft drinks on hand. 

[cherokee woman]

Now, for every one else:  tonight, we are going to take advantage of the new digs, and there will be a
nice, candle-lit supper on the balcony.  For your eating enjoyment, there will be lasagna, tossed salad,
grape juice in wine glasses (no actual wine, just the grape juice), and for dessert, peach pie ala mode.
Will start serving this at 8:30 p.m.  And there will be soft music playing on the jukebox.

And for everyone else, I've got our Friday Fish Fry in progress.  All the regular sides for the fish fry
are available, along with corn on the cob.

Well- This worked out WELL-

Aparently I can't read- Or the E-mail ditrections were dumb, Either way, MY Mongolian-like-english skills made the process of re-registering take about 60 minutes- And I still don't know how I did it, but low and behold- I did it, I think.

Now I got to figure out howtopost a picture- but seeing as I fried more braincells figuring out how to solve this then re-aranging the stickers on the Arubix cube, That can wait until Tomorrow, IF i feel like doing it then, IF- and that's a big if.

Maybe it can wait until monday? Unless the world is ending Sunday; then I'll do it tomorrow- Any world-ending-predictors in the group?

If this ends up appearing as squares, triangles, and various road signs, i'll have to re-re-register.

[jeaton]

Kevin-

Bergie didn't send you an e-mail in French?

We might have had to sneak you accross the border to get you back in.

Glad you could make it.  With all the recent improvements in the DD&CS facilities, we can't afford the business downturn.

CW  Thanks for setting up dinner on the patio.  While it is hot or rainy everyplace else, at the Depot Diner, the sky is clear, the temps are cool, there will be a super sunset, and NO MOSQUITOES. 

Chris-Bring your camera.  There may be a moonrise photo op.

You got it half right--the Dew has to be Diet (that's "Die" with a "T"), but also caffeine-free!

And very cold--have to bring down a fever.

Still missing.
