Steak and corn sounds great!
I had fun in FDL today. I didn't make it to Neenah though. Nothing too exciting to watch, mainly switching!

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Pat wants a couple of good, clean mudchicken feathers, Joe, if the unthinkable should happen. One of her many projects...
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Pittsburgh - Been there. But more importantly, they young lady for whom my fire department hosted a chicken barbeque today is there, having had a successful lung transplant last night. It was happy news to share with those who showed up for the fundraiser. The event was labelled a success, as well.

OK, I don't remember who was looking for pictures of couplers, but for whoever it was, here's several versions I shot this past weekend. The locomotive is NYC 8223, an RS-3, the car is a former CNR coach, by way of the "Timber Train."
The three images were shot seconds apart - and I don't remember which bridge we were crossing in the first one, which, unfortunately, is also skewed a bit... The difference in the blurring of the roadbed is shutter speed.
If you want an original (Digital Rebel - about 6 Mb), PM me and I'll send it your way.
Larry,
I'm pretty sure that was AdrianSpeeder looking for those. I think it had to do with sprucing up the MySpace page.

Switch8frg: Saw that on the back of a truck about 5 or 6 years ago, boss at the time brought it in for some minor work (can't remember whether he got it at auction or a repo). He jokingly brought up the idea of driving it into the local Peterbilt dealership to get a reaction. We laughed.
Dan: Did you sit on the hill at Byron at all, or just stayed by the yard all day? I prefer sitting on the hill at the County F overpass.
Not too bad here at the moment, had a little rain a bit before 9pm, supposed to get more later tonight as a cold front moves through. Forecast for tomorrow is sunny and 75.
Have a good evening, all.

Dan - I could use a personal trainer. Scratch this ear. Wipe that paw. Fetch that chocolate cake for me will you, please. Don't need a fork, dearie. Just make sure it is very close to the mouf. Turn that fan a little more this way.
Sir Chicken - want you back in pristeen condition. Hate to have to pre-wash like the raccoons!
CW - I am with you. A little bit of cooler weather and I am zonked! Looks like Joe will be joining us! When does that man sleep?
Happy Monday to the rest of you. (except Randy - I was so expecting a little something ($$$$$) hint hint in my bootie that I leave hung on the fireplace year round! Just in case!
Joe, you just made my day!
I can visualize any young brave going around telling about the chicken feathers in his headdress! (That's not it! BTW, hope Matt still fits the hat and mittens this winter!)
SJ, they don't call those "trainers"--around here they're known as "spouses". But I reserve requests like that for when I'm not very capable of doing that myself. Helps keep them happy.
Morning All,
Well, the skies opened up last night, and gave us a good rain. Something over half an inch in less than half an hour. Not the strongest rain we've ever had, but nice. The temps are supposed to be good for a day or two as well (of course, after that time we jump back into the 90's).
Can't spend too much time in the Diner this morning as work is calling my name. Will try to stop in tonight though. Hope you all have a great day!
rvos1979-I stayed near the yard because of limited time and I wanted to see some action. I did find some other spots to sit for future occasions. Railpictures.net rejected all of my photos (ARGH!) of CN engines because "we don't typically publish that type of photo". I don't get it...
Mookie-I can help you plus I work cheap (read-free)! We'll set something up so you can get eased into the routine. You'll be as strong as 10 tigers when I get done with you. Ever see a cat bench-press a boxcar?
According to NOAA/NWS we were supposed to get some nice storms last night. Know what happened? Sprinkles! Not even flavored ones! Drat! Oh well, thats what happens here in WI. I suppose I should grab my OJ and a plate of eggs and toast and get busy. Be back in later!

If you can make an authentic Phildadelphia-style cheesesteak sandwich I'll take one! This means a real hoagie roll, thinly-sliced ribeye steak, real Provolone cheese or Cheez Whiz and either fried onions and small green peppers.

I'll take one of those - with onions and peppers. Provalone cheese. Home-style fries on the side would be good, too....
Had to go onto work today (normally my day off), but everything was in order, so I'm home and about to start on the bathroom (the floor under the toilet needs to be replaced....)
I will have to sneak back in for brats! I love them! I love anything that isn't good for you!
Dan - I would like to watch ANY kitty benchpress a box car! I'd pay $ for that!
CW - later this week how about breaded pork cutlets with a side of bowtie pasta in sauce. Yum.
Need some carrots for veggies, too.
Need to go hang in hammock - this reading/thinking is tiring, especially after Tree is working on his day off! Bad Tree!
hmm kitty bench pressing a boxcar?how about one perched on gons dropping ties with its paws? Brats do sound good for supper tonight. we are getting some gentle rain here now makes me want to go back to sleep.
Mookie: I just said he won the main event, I didn't say I knew the guy, heck, don't even know the people who won the powerball jackpot up north. I'm still as broke as everyone else (in the real world anyway, the virtual checkbook is overflowing).
That's ok, Dan, there's plenty of places in FDL and Shops to sit. Now you've got me thinking of heading up there one of these days, haven't been up that way in about four years. (Recon trip for Train Dispatcher 3!!)
Have a good rest of the day, everyone.
Randy - still going to sit very close to you in case any of that "virtual" money falls out of your "virtual checkbook"!
