Morning All,
It turned out not to be a very productive weekend, but that's OK. I've got a heck of a week planned here. Tuesday I get to meet our very own Medieval Footwear Model up towards Georgetown, and Labor Day Weekend holds a trip down south to check out the C&TS, and take a ride on the San Luis Express, which will be a new experience for yours truly.
It'll also most likely be the final outing for the trusty camera gear as I'm planning a fairly major overhaul of the camera system (see the digital camera thread for more details if you're interested).
Well, I suppose I must set about the pile of work that has once again accumulated upon my desk. Hope you all have a great week!

No Brian! No Ankles? No fun!
Willy - may I have this dance?
BC - I like lighthouses! I am with Tree - I would be there watching it - I find them fascinating. It is strange the things that fascinate us - lighthouses, trains, diners, trains, Tonka Toys, trains.....
Well, I have a lot of work on my desk to do - Monday you know. So I will have to spend some time organizing it - in the hammock!

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").
If they wish they may help, but I should be ok. Final menu:
Enjoy! Dinner's ready!
CW I'd be honored to grill all day. I have another party scheduled for tonight so I'll keep the grill hot until ~ midnight or so! We also are having baked beans, taco dip, cheesey potatoes, chips, fries, fruit salad, jello, and for dessert...
FUDGE BROWNIES!
Also doing SMORES over the fire for late night snack!

I'll fire up the new gas grill for some brats, burgers, steaks, hot dogs, or chicken breasts for lunch. My girlfriend made about 20 lbs. of potato salad so I'll put that out. You have a choice this morning I guess, brunch or lunch! Grill'll be hot for a while so dig in and don't be shy!

Anytime Joe. I think I can find some fries for Matt, too. Did you take any pics of that Loram?
Anyone else want somethin'? Grill's still hot and these are good brats!
dan
thanks for the chicken.again its proven if you be nice good things happen.made a copy of a pic for someone and took it to them heard a crew was working in defiance.here its a loram ballast cleaner.was near my nieces house so matt and lucy got to look at a machine that moves rocks.
Good Morning All,
Think I'll grab some of the cold pizza as well. Nothing beats a cold pizza breakfast!
Was supposed to be climbing Quandary Peak by now, but my co-hikers chickened out when they heard that it was going to be cold and snowy above 11,000 feet. It doesn't bug me, but then again, I like that kind of stuff.
Well, I might head out to a trail in one of the State Parks out here and see about a trail that heads along the Moffat Line.
Hope you all have a great day!

Yes, Larry, a rotating beacon would be neat (Grand Haven used to have one--believe it or not, it's a working exhibit in the basement of the museum, which was the former GTW depot there). But ths light just sends out a white beam every so often. I think it used to be brighter than it is now, but I also think the lighthouse is decomissioned now.
Got a neat idea for a vacation "where-is-it?".

I'm a little late getting in here tonight. I'll take the usual-- Goetta Pizza.
It's been a busy day and week. The boys started their first games of soccer today. We were up at 7:00 this morning to get to the soccer fields. Then it was a day of changing oil in the Blazer and sitting in the pool.
Joe, enjoy all the Pepsi you can. When I was growing up, you helped my dad pay his bills and feed my belly. He retired after 34 years with Pepsi-Cola about 2 years ago.
LM, CW, and Joe you should have an email from me.
All the ones in Indiana be careful tonight. Saw on the TV there are some counties under Tornado Watch until 3:00 am.
Everyone have a great Sunday.

Carl - I don't know if I'd mind the lighthouse blinking (especially since lighthouse = shoreline). If it were an old-fashioned rotating beam, I'd probably just spend the night hypnotized by it...
Had an average to good day on the railroad - we're over 10,000 passengers for the summer, so far! The highlight of the day (although it could have been better) was the car that was sitting on the siding when I arrived this morning - a heavyweight B&O business car, now privately owned. Wish I'd made a couple of notes on it, and that I'd gotten a chance to see the inside (which I probably could have, I just didn't ask). It headed back south on the tail end of the Utica train, one of it's occupants enjoying the breeze and the view on the platform...
Wonder if there's any Hawiian pizza left. It's even good cold!

Well, Brian, when I go on vacation next week, there won't be any obliging hotels with computers. Nor will a cell phone be of any use. Nor is there a railroad anywhere in the county. That's a real vacation for me--I might be bored out of my skull, except that I'll be able to ride my bike along two of my favorite rail trails.
Do I remember a lighthouse fancier around here? You'd love the location of our family's cottage. #!*! light keeps blinking in the front window all night!
well to go with the beef stew and the pizza mamma can brew some fresh coffee in her new coffee pot.I like the smell of it brewing but I am not a coffee drinker.(pepsi is another story).matt and his buddy joseph got a treat from a csx crew.they each got there own bottled water.they were using the wyes at deshler to turn their locomotive around.we are having on and off rain now maybe it will turn the grass to green again.
Taking one slice each of sausage,pepperoni,and double cheese to go with my bowl of stew.
Say,double cheese pizza dipped in beef stew is REALLY good!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!

Was planning to head out and get some train shots up on the Moffat Line this morning, but woke up to Steel Grey skies. Decided to call no joy, and get some tasks around the house done. I'm hoping (but doubting) that tomorrow will be better for a climb up Quandary Peak. I don't mind hiking in the rain (or snow as the case may very well be), but it really takes some of the fun away when you don't get a great view from the top.
Joe, the cinnamon rolls were excellent! Thanks for getting them out so early!
Well, I must set about my tasks. I hope you all have a great day, and I'll check in later.
