CW - it comes from Ed - hits Mookie - goes up north to Murphy Siding, then swoops down to BC and Joe and then to you.  I think.

Rain forecast all weekend here - could be a good weekend for the railroad, as people look for stuff to do "sort of" outside. 

I hope I look as good at 92 as the guy I transferred from one hospital to another last night.  He'd had a heart attack, however, and pretty well figures his time is up. 

Looks to be a slow day here at work.  But probably not, now that I've mentioned it....

Back later.

Morning...our high for the day is supposed to be a comfortable 77 with party cloudy skies. Too bad I'll be at work from 9-9 today!  I have the weekend off, though so I'll take it.  I just got back from running 4 more miles so I'll have some fruit and skim milk.  Catch ya later!

Another 1.25 inches of rain here in Omaha last night. This is the last rain they're forecasting for the next week, though. I wish it would keep doing this like it has the past 3 weeks because then I would never have to haul the sprinkler and hose around the yard again. Wink [;)]

I'm with Willy - think of the work it saves.  In my case, it is refilling the bird waters.....

This weekend will be a BIG one for railfans here in northern California--Union Pacific will unveil its final SD70ACe Heritage locomotive (designated UP 1996), which will sport a livery inspired by the old Southern Pacific liveries. It will be unveiled at Roseville Yard in Roseville, CA--about 20 minute's drive from my house tomorrow (August 19, 2006).

Well, I've got fish frying for our Friday Fish Fry.  Also got a deep fryer with
fries in it, and another one with hushpuppies.  Have fresh cole slaw made, and
in the cooler, along with a chocolate pie, and a lemon pie in the dessert cooler. 

First batch of fish, hushpuppies and fries are just about ready, so get your
plates ready.

Hi Nightrain, Yes it is the Olympic engine. I caught it in Oakland in 86'. Here is a bigger version. Zak has a nice looking HO version too.

Nightrain, don't feel like the lone stranger, when it comes to cabbage.  Cole slaw is the only way
I'll eat cabbage, except in homemade vegetable soup.

Joe, congratulations on the new addition to the family!!  I know, when
the baby is older, that Matt will teach him all there is to know about
trains, and being a railfan!!


Got some more fish, hushpuppies and fries on.  Should be ready in about

Evening everyone......

Wow, pretty dead in here for a Friday night, finally wound down enough to slide on in for some late-night food.  Worked untill 8:45 tonight on overtime, then unwound for a bit.

Has rained a little the last two days, but we've only had a dissapointing 17 hundreths total, really could use more, the crops need it.

Joe, congrats on the new little one, have Matt teach him well.

Will be relaxing over in one of the recliners, with some classic rock and blues playing softly on the Jukebox.  Ahhhhh, that's relaxed.........

Good Saturday morning, everyone!  I know it's going to be
a sloooooow day in here, at least until tonight, when I
have the pizzas ready.

Joe, thank you for starting the coffee, and getting the juice
and lemonade ready.  And I've got a couple of fresh pitchers
of iced tea ready.

Thanks for being in the muffins, also, Joe.  Appreciate it
very much. 

Everyone have a great and safe day, and I want to see everyone
back in there by 7 p.m. for our SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST.

CW,

We need 1 Large Goetta Pizza, and 1 large extra cheese for tonight. I had to make sure I got in here to place my order early.

We're headed up to the 2.50 movies today. Not a lot to do when they call for thunder boomers all day.

Everyone have a great day.

That's how the day started here,then it got dark,started lightning & thundering and pouring down
rain about 20 minutes after finishing cutting the grass. Just another one of our usual summertime
t-storms that puts out about 1-1.5" of rain in a short amount of time,and leaves the prerequisite
number of scattered power outages, limbs down,etc.  Hopefully,that will be all we do get today;
as we had planned to do some train watching ourselves!Shy [8)]

.....Oh so you have had a little weather down there Walt....Nothing up here yet all though it is around in some areas of Indiana...Just back and forth clouds and sunshine and  90 degrees here so far today.

Looks like the next 4 or 5 days should be pretty nice too...but we are pretty dry and could use some rain.  Maybe one of the scattereds will visit later this afternoon.
