Cancel Halloween - we are down to 12. That was also probably a factor in her decision?

Yea, me too Carl. Mabee spring or next year. Hope you all have a great trip. Drive safe and enjoy.
Even if you put stickman unihead in Carharts and a parka from Cabellas, all he'd have to do is step in between the snowflakes, turn sideways and disappear. Besides, the Dodge hotrod he has, has a heater in it that probably has never been used outside of the windshield defroster er... um... defogger....
...somehow I bet Aimee is going to write the whole lot of us off....

Brian - Mudchicken would be a better choice.
Should I get a snow shovel and a box of MREs just in case?
Mudchicken...A de-what?
You mean there are other settings beside Max A/C?

Best pack several pair of long underwear, maybe buy a pair of snowmobile boots and coveralls and take a quick course in artic survival. Aside from that, you should be fine. Safe travels Jay

Good afternoon.
I hope all of the travelers have safe journeys over the next few days. We don't want to hear about any accidents!
Ed - You won't need your snow shovel yet. It actually looks really warm for Saturday (speaking in Nebraska standards). Highs are looking to be in the mid 80s under sunny skies. I'll bet that's cold for you, Ed!
Anyway, that's all I've got for today. Everyone stay safe!

Now departing. Eastern Iowa tonight, we hope, Lincoln tomorrow. We oldsters (some of us, anyway) have to get out and stretch at times, among other things.
Brian, sorry Joanie can't make it. I'm not sure Pat and I will be much protection for you; it may help that she can't stand the sight of blood (or maybe that's only hers or mine).
Handshakes and hugs being stored in trunk for liberal use Saturday. Safe journeys (and good weather!), everyone! Just hang on, SJ!

Out the door in about 3 hours...
XO says she has the navagation down to a science...hope its not a mad type...
looks like we will drive till we run out of hills and such, might stop for the night in the flat lands...
Will do..
We have to drive past the State Troopers Barracks.
DPS has fast, fast cars...including a "race blown" Chevy Camaro...
Besides, you can never out run a Motorola...I know from experience.
Just gonna cruise around 80 or so...when the eyelids get heavy, we will find a motel.

Busted rib is not a comfortable thing.
Keep an eye on her, it can be very painful at time.
Hope you can make it, but if you have to or want to stick around there with your mom, thats a cool thing too.

Well, today she was hurting real bad and went to the doctor and it turns out that she has at the least a bruised rib, but it looks like it is fractured in one spot. She's on a lot of medicine for the pain, but the doctor says that she is very vulnerable to pneumonia right now. I sure hope she's well enough to come to Lincoln and meet everyone on Saturday.
will take 2 #1s to go please for work.
willy our prayers are with you.hope the bears aren't out too bad for those going to lincoln.but there will be a cat on the prowl.
stay safe

Ahem! OK....
An Open Letter to BNSF!
Dear Sirs, Ma'ams and Peoples:
There will be a delegation of train watchers in Lincoln this weekend - um - (flip, flip) October 7th and 8th to watch the train traffic and workings of the local Hobson Yard.
I ask nicely if you would mind running some trains through there the entire weekend daytime, not just overnite when no one will be watching. I know that sometimes you have a company-wide picnic on one or both days and seem to take most of the weekend daylight hours off.
Could you have your picnic during the nite instead, just this one weekend? These are very important people and friends and they are expecting to be impressed, since I have lied...er....written so much about all the traffic by our watch site.*
Should you choose not to change your schedule, there will be dire consequences! I will be forced to wear a Union Pacific Hat to the watch site!* Maybe even put Union Pacific on the side of Millie and that won't make The Driver very happy!
Thank you for your consideration and I am sure you will make the right choice, which would be to accomodate my request!
Sincerely,
Mookie
*ask any engineer.....
coffee and juice are on for today.will be having lunch at matts school.should be fun.everyone in lincoln watch for csx units and we'll watch for bnsf and up units over here.got a head start yesterday with an eastbound warbonnet on csx.

Houston called! I was busy making coffee and missed it! On the right side of Ardmore and heading for OK City. And he thinks Oklahoma is as dull as Texas - boy is he in for a surprise.
This is like watching the shuttle for me!
Oklahoma is about as dull as Texas, scenery-wise, only red... Been there.
The "badlands" of KS, along I-35, aren't bad.
Here's to a great trainwatching day in Lincoln!
My son will be along in the Diner today. His treat, so I'll be having a really good breakfast this morning. He more or less finished his cross-country trek last night about 11. Still has to drive back down to DC, but not for a few days.
