MC,
Got the Scotty Pontoons out yet? It's pouring Mooks and Mutts up here, and I've heard from our crews that it's been worse down south all day.

There are exceptions - ate at a place called "Mi Pueblo" in North Carolina. Waitstaff almost spoke English, and a denizen of the Southwest who was with us said it was pretty good, comparatively speaking. Wasn't as good as the local barbeque, though...

Our guys in Greeley and Ft. Collins got soaked and are heading home. The folks doing Cabellas out by the Coors Brewery fled after the flash flood warning. Very black to the north of us, and as I get up to peer out the 8th floor windows, the heavy stuff has gotten downtown, but not the tech center. Will have the scottie mount-up on the pontoons as a precaution and throw a vest on the Westie. Time for a larger doggie door or an ark??
We got just over a half inch locally since Midnight (the rain I wrote about before work slowed down and drenched RCOs for half the day). Gorgeous this evening. Have to stay up past bedtime and help get baby girl from Midway.
Speaking of which, baby girl's hubby is a native San Diegan; knows Mexican food (and likes things hot!). Still appreciates Chipotle.

Not a problem! Tacos, burritos, refried beans, salsa/chips, and nachos coming up! Choices are ground beef, shredded beef, shredded chicken, or veggie (read: bean). How about some margaritas and Corona's for those of age? Show me your ID! (I'm also a/the bouncer!)

i can get that drum of gatorade set up for you.just got home from mowing in town.the section of csx track in my old hood has slow orders on it.on the way home mr sperry truck was rolling through town.csx must have some kinks in the track.one spot near the depot site is nortorious for getting kinked.its on a curve and there used to be a switch down to a small yard behind the jr high.
Thanks for setting that up, Joe, us second shifters have a hard time waking up that early in the morning. Just checked everything else, rest of the tanks are full, and got a few more pallets of the mix on order, should be here sometime today. Was beautiful out yesterday and today, drove to work with the windows down, felt good. Forecast today is for a high of about 86, with low humidity, normal high for us is 82.
Was a slow night at work last night, I was finished with tires by about 8pm, spent the rest of the night putting the brake chambers and all related hoses and wiring on FedEx suspensions. It's kind of weird that ever since we started this LEAN manufacturing deal at work, which is supposed to increase output, our production numbers have gone down.
Be in later for the fish fry.

I am on my way out the door for the weekend. Gonna put on my overalls whilest I sit in Millie - maybe I can come up with a couple more questions to liven the forum. The overalls may help me think better.
And I promise not to wear them like I saw one time in the railyard. shirt, shoes, overalls - unbuttoned on the side so you knew there was vast birthday suit under there with no cover. And he wasn't Chippendale material, either. Vast waistland should always be well covered!

My mom and I chased 844 today. Of course it come into Blair about 2 hours late, but it was sure a beautiful sight when it did come in! We then chased it to Golden Spike Park in Council Bluffs.
I got some good photos, but I'm clueless on posting them. I'll try to get them up on Saturday, but I can't guarantee anything.
Slight chance of rain tonight and another chance Saturday night. As Mook has mentioned, we just can't seem to get any of it here, but there is a first time for everything.
Willy
I'm curious, Willy--did your mom get a thrill out of seeing the 844 in action as well? I hope so!
(I'm also slightly envious of you for getting to see steam in action this year. I'm hoping our time will come again soon.)

Well, my mom isn't a huge train fan and she always wonders how I got into it, but I know that even she really does enjoy seeing 844 or the Challenger when it comes to town. Today she commented on a what a great looking steamer it is, so I know she had fun.
I'd have to think that 844 or the Challenger will come to Chicago again soon. Chicago is such a big city I don't know how they can keep the steamers out of it for too long.
good morning
juice coffee and lemonade are made.there is also plenty of gatorade left in the tank if anyone needs a refill.willy be careful watching trains you can get hooked.
Willy, your mom could have been my mom when I was your age. My parents tolerated my hobby but didn't understand it. Of course, she would have been less enthusiastic about steam locomotives since that was probably all she knew before she got married (or thereabouts). Of course, the local area probably never saw anything bigger than Mikes and Pacifics, so one of UP's engines would knock some socks off.
You sound a lot saner than I was at your age--maybe that's part of why I'm so impressed.
(Just came to DD&CS for my CFDMD--off to Michigan soon.)
Morning All,
Carl, hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. We'll see you when you get back.
Meanwhile, I don't have too much else to report, other than the fact that someone cranked up the thermostat in Denver again. I fear we'll have another long string of 90's now until some other cold front manages to slip in.
Well, must be on my way. Hope you all have a great weekend!

I've already been hooked since I was like 4 or 5. I'm only getting more hooked on them as time goes on!
Thanks for the juice and lemonade; I'm parched. Have a good day everyone!
