Can I have some a little later today?
By the way, I'm holding in my hands right now a NEW 4 GB (storage capacity) iPod Nano in the new blue-colored metallic case. I just copied a bunch of podcasts to play on the Nano.

By the way, I'm listening to the podcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show on my new iPod Nano as I type this.
Afternoon everyone.......
Finally quit raining here last night, but the sun isn't supposed to poke out until later today, supposed to be nice until about Sunday night or so. I hope they're wrong about the weather, my dad has the silage bagger coming on Friday (I hope), and he wants to do three bags of corn silage. I don't care to pull myself out of one continous mudhole all weekend.
Finally finished up our FedEx order last night, to the relief of everyone. Now we will be working on UPS trailers for the next month or so, to the tune of about 100 units every three to four days. That should hopefully take care of what's left of this large order.
A batch of beef stew sounds great for tonight, CW, it's supposed to drop to about 45 for a low tonight (brrrr!!). That meal should warm everyone up.
See everyone later.

Good Afternoon.

I'll take a #1 tonight, CW.

True enough, but they're usually pretty gentle. Just a few nips or little scratches is all I've gotten from the cats for the past year or so.
Absolutely beautiful weather here in Omaha today. Full sunshine and highs in the upper 70s. What could be better? I am on high alert, though: Severe weather is possible Saturday evening. Even though it has nothing to do with anybody here except me and Mookie, I'll keep everyone up to date on it as Saturday eve. draws closer. I'm just so excited about the chance of some real thunderstorms for once, rather than just those wimpy things that produce about 2 flashes of lightning and a couple rumbles of thunder.

CW - I just acquired 3 in-boxes and they are all full! Tis the season to be really busy!
Willy - if anyone has great thunderstorms, it will be Omaha. They always have better things than Lincoln! They even had a better tornado before you were born!
I will be back for the hammock one of these days, so keep it dusted and empty! This has to quit pretty soon, I think......

Afternoon All,
CW, Stew and Cornbread sounds absolutely wonderful! Can't wait until tonight!
Got my new lens (Canon EF 400mm f5.6L) the other day. Alas! Everytime I go searching for a Head-On Telephoto Shot of a train, either I can't find any good weather or can't find any trains! Drove almost to Brush yesterday evening looking for a westbound. It seems the BNSF must've known I was coming and decided not to run any trains. Oh well, if all else fails, I should be able to get some nice Elk shots up in Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend.
Speaking of lenses, if you ever find yourself deficient in the telephoto department, I suppose you could Special Order one of these puppies from Carl Zeiss. And I thought that the Canon EF 1200mm f5.6L was big! That's how to put the "Super" in Supertelephoto! Now to go see about getting that Hassy to Canon EF adaptor.....................
Well, must be back to work. Catch you all later!

The promised return of summer was delayed for a day here--we got 0.7" more rain this morning--that's got to be close to 3 inches since the beginning of the week. Still, it's better to have it spread out like this than within about an hour, as happened on a Labor Day a few years back.
Yet another CRO trainee was disqualified over the past couple of days (I'd had high hopes for this one, a fellow Lombardian). We've had two people make it out of the last seven or eight trainees--and they also reached back and disqualified the two youngest CROs when they violated various rules. I hope they get a couple more people trained for my job in the next three or four years...or maybe I just might prove to be irreplaceable!

Ah yes... The F4 tornado that hit the city in 1975. In one way I wish I had been around for it because it would have been very cool to see, but then again I would have been scared to death. It just missed where my mom was working by only a mile or so. If it had hit where she was working, I may not exist today! It always scares me to think about that.
a little more rain maybe to come through but the weekend looks nice and sunny.next week they are saying highs in the 60s? get out the sweats and the hot chocolate.time to get stuff for work.
Newsflash: For CopCarSS, DenverHank and anyone else in the neighborhood: blue and yellow Alaska Railroad #1503, an F9B, wandered into Denver North Yard on a UP train this morning about 10am, buried in the consist of the Roper-Denver local.(DIC/not running)...It is being reblocked for further transit here in Denver....Imagine it will be here for another 12-24 hours. No idea where it is heading. (converted to HEP use?)
We now resume swimming between the icebergs in the Gatorade bowl.
vOv too much w.o. r. k.........
I hate.........footba...... season....
mookie
maybe after football season you can buy some new earings $O$ or a new collar.coffee and juice are on the way.

Mookie hates football? Join the club, Mookie. I have never liked that sport, and the same goes for basketball. I've always felt that there are too many people in this country who have been brainwashed into thinking that they must participate in sports, so much to the point that they never stop to consider that there are other things in life to be doing, such as watching trains for example.
On the other hand, if I could learn how to play golf, that is one sport that I would take up. A friend of mine told me that I should take lesssons, he told me that I have a natural ability for it. Are there any other train watchers out there who also play golf now and then?

I've got a set of clubs which I use maybe once a year when the opportunity presents itself to play a round with my Dad, who's a golfaholic.

I don't play golf (though I did for a while when I knew the caretaker of a golfcourse). I did see something interesting once. While I was railfanning in the Sandpoint area there were these two guys that were golfing there way along the MRL right of way east of town. They would just drive the ball a few 100 feet go find it and drive it again. In the 2 or so days we were in the area these guys covered over 20 miles. Anyone for a round of railfan golfing?
Last night a friend of mine showed up at my front door with three plastic bags loaded with vegetables from his garden. I've got potatoes, carrots, peas, peppers, onions, tomatoes, & almost everything that you would find in a typical vegetable garden. I think I might have a baked potatoe or two for dinner tonight. It's all very good stuff and I wish I could share it all with some of the other forum members out there. I think I will make my homemade spaghetti sauce this weekend, and this is what the tomatoes are good for.
I will start baking bread in another week or so, and my friend will probably be on the receiving end of a loaf of bread, fresh from the oven.
One in box down and two to go.....
I should entertain everyone and show off my skills at pool and golf. Move over Gerald Ford!
I like football when The Big Red Machine wins - but other than that - I don't follow it much any more.
It is the work involved in the processing of tickets and not giving tickets to Sir Chicken when Sir Ed should have had them.....
Ham & Bean Soup and Cornbread - Yes!!!!! One right here, please! Joe is right - I need to keep up my strength so I can shop a lot after this is all over!
ARR 1508 is here in New York as ADIK 1508... I haven't heard of any plans to add a B unit to our rolling stock.
Ham & Bean Soup & Cornbread - I'll take a serving over here!
Left work early yesterday on a report of a structure fire, possibly occupants unaccounted for (they were "in town" having lunch), and several significant exposures (barns and sheds). When the first officer arrived on scene, as the call was still being dispatched, there was fire out all the windows. The roof collapsed 10 minutes later, a good 20 minutes before I arrived. There wasn't much we could do. Did save all the other outbuildings (it was an old farm), but the house is just a smoking hole in the ground now. I guess you could say we saved the cellar.
