Cheer up - we will be a little cooler tomorrow - sounds like the high 80's. Splotches of rain here, too - but now all gone. All going east.

FYI - Mookie will be in absentia on Friday. State day of mourning - but for me - a great day to go watch some more trains. 'Course work will pile up - but....I do have my priorities!

A wonder 81 at the airport, about 83 here at work, but I'm sitting in a comfortable 71 degree environment (gotta keep them computers cool, you know), wishing I was back out in the sun....

Iced tea, potato salad, a juicy cheeseburger "with", and some watermelon to wrap it all up... I'll be out on the deck when that's ready.

....Jim...I for one agree with you on the WWII generation....I was quite young but did help in paper and scrap metal drives, etc....It took everyone to pitch in to get the total job done. We had large piles of scrap metal right in the center of town from what we and others gathered from all directions and then it was hauled to a collection center and on from there...
C W.....On that room temp coffee....Wow, don't think I could handle that but everyone has their likes so go for it.
Temp is in the upper 80's now but the humidity is going off the charts.
To help this situation I just added some 134a to the A/C in my little S-10 as this is a day it will be used....[A/C, that is].

Jim, I'M TRYING!! It's 85 degrees out and the humidity makes it feel like 90 or 95. At least I haven't got what they have out west, but it's a sudden shock because a few days ago the low was 55 or something like that. Oh well, I'll try to survive.

Morning all. [:)]

It never gets too hot for Jim to drink Hot Coffee. I must have my "wake up call" and that is what the coffee is for. When you only get 4 to 5 hours of sleep most every night c o f f e e is a must to start the day. That is hot coffee not iced coffee or luke warm coffee. As I said in the M R forum coffee shop, in my opinion "iced coffee" is unAmerican. I just can't stand the though of warm coffee of iced coffee. I know some drink it but NOT ME. [:0] [B)] [}:)] [;)] [8D]

Here are a few items of interest from the This Day in History website.

June 8

1937 The world's largest flower, the 12' calla lily, blooms in New York's Botanical Garden.

1942 Bing Crosby records "Adeste Fideles" and "Silent Night" in Los Angeles for Decca Records.


Well I am not old enough to remember the actual event of either of these things. But I do agree that the generation who saw and fought in WWII is the best generation of people this country has EVER produced. Even those who didn't go over seas to fight, still fought a war at home with rationing and putting up with many "things" many of us will never have to face. I admire them for the sacrifice they made.I don't believe that we now in our "soft" way of life could handle the sacrifices they made. I could be wrong but now we live in a "me first" world and that attitude didn't exist back then. OK, I will put the soap box up and move on.

Everyone have a great day.

STAY COOL [8D]

Yeah, I COULD be making up for when power was off; but that's not the

Mookie, an ad for the old C&O would be welcome. It is my favorite fallen flag.

Ask Bergie or somebody, why the delete will not work at night, when we
mess up and try to delete something. When I kept trying to post last
night, I kept getting a message about Flood Control was inacted, so
guess that's why it came up five times instead of one time.

SOOOORRRRYYY. It was not totally my fault. Have written an email to
Bergie, but haven't heard back yet this morning.

In order to maintain lawn order I push a trusty reel mower over ours. We don't have a big lawn, but we haven't used any gasoline to mow it in the 25 years we've been here.

Speaking of which, the lawn awaits today...soon, before it gets too unbearable out there!

Cinnamon rolls would be a very good addition to the menu.

coffee at room temperature!!

....Today Jen, we substituted a glazed donut for the raisin bread....No coffee, as it is getting too hot...orange juice. MC's hot weather now has invaded us here too. Just came in off my walk and it feels better in here than outside. Indiana is no slough when it comes to humidity and today it is starting to turn it on full blast. Might be a good day to just sit at the counter and drink a cold one...but in a few I must head out and run the John Deere over the lawn.

Mookie,

The problem is NOT ENOUGH coffee in Walt's system!

Carl, you know that Walt is a humongous C&O fan. A pair of double heading
M1s would be a sight to behold. Walt would LOVE to have a picture of the
500s together. And Carl, congratulations on getting cholestorol down.
Walt always quote Justin Wilson line: I don't worry about cholestorol because
I can't spell it.!"

He kept me out here at the computer with him, trying to get all the extra posts
deleted. And it just was not working!! [:0][:p][8][8][:I]

Don't worry, Mutt...when we see something like that, we blame "the computer", not the person behind it.

And, yes, C&O is still right up there with me, too. I suppose it would be sacrilege to mention the coverage of the C&O main line received in another widely-circulated prototype fan magazine whose name starts with a "CTC".

Whatever you guys are feeding me, it must be working. I got the results of my blood tests today, and all of the cholesterol numbers went in the right direction, some very dramatically. Total cholesterol is down from 232 to 136, in roughly two months!

Now it's time to lose some weight.
