Deggesty...as I hoist our flag on 11 November...
At half staff until sundown, to honor those who died at Fort Hood.

tree68Tomorrow is (depending on your era and location) Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, or, in the US, Veteran's Day. The "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" marked the official end of hostilities of the "War to End All Wars." Take a moment to remember
I grew up with "Armistice Day." Generally, I do not like renaming National holidays, but since I realized that the "War to End All Wars" did not end all wars, I believe that "Veterans' Day" is the proper name, and I think of many people--three brothers, one niece and her husband, and my next-door neighbor, among others--who were in our armed forces as I hoist our flag on 11 November.

switch7frgMutt; nice to hear you made it one more year. ( Age is just a number on the dart board ) Did you get a new box car or gondola for the railroad??? We haven't heard bout the railroad for a while. Are track warrants harder to get now??? LOL. Snappy Birthday. Cannonball

Uh, Thanks for the B-Day wishes, but I'm not sure about the "Dart Board" reference; we don't aim for, but hit it no matter. No good stuff for model R.R., actually no real good prototype stuff going on that day, either.
Depends on what kind of Track Warrant you want; But, I'm very sure the dispatcher will give you one for our railroad to enter the property.

cherokee woman Good Tuesday morning, all! We are at a pleasant 52 degrees this morning. Going for a high of about 65. A bit cooler than the 75 degrees we've had the past few days, isn't it? Roy, Mudchicken, and Cannonball, glad to see you all made it in here last night! Johnny, very happy to hear that everything turned out all right for you yesterday, too!! Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are ready to go. And on the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy. Everyone have a very good morning, keep safe and take care. I'll see you all later, after I finish with Tuesday Produce.

grampaw pettiboneshe replied she had any size knife I needed.....
Tempting at times, though.
A little cooler today, with a chance of showers. Hopefully Ida will stay well south and east.

Peace be with you. 61 and cloudy in Carolina this morning, calling for rain later. I somehow have been shanghaied into helping a friend set up her computer. This should be a riot. Last night, I told her she would need a splitter for the telephone line and she replied she had any size knife I needed..... Afterwards, the wife and I will hit our favorite restaurant on the way home. Sounds like a big day. Everyone take care.

I guess putting up signs would be of no use [ Truckers can't read?]. BNSF southbound TILX coal train loads took out another parked truck at Kalamath Street here in Denver AGAIN. As usual, power lines, traffic lights and grade crossing protection got destroyed....

I'll be by for supper a little later this week Miss Paula,

Justin:
Take it from an Eagle, you will never regret any of the work you go through for that rank. It marks you, and confirms to all that an amount of good charater is expected and is present in your being. Not to mention in your heart.
You are solidly on your way,
Regards and Good Luck,
cherokee woman Good evening, everyone. My visit went well this morning. We discovered I had lost one of the screws in my ankle/arch support brace. It was replaced, and she (the tech) tightened all the screws. And, unless the orthopedist wants something changed on it, or whatever, or it starts squeaking, I don't have to go back to them. (When she came to the waiting room to get me, I noticed she is on crutches. It seems she broke her ankle a couple of weeks ago. Seems to be doing pretty good on the crutches. Supper tonight: how about pork chops fixed on the grill, w/baked potatoes and salad? Hope that is all right with you all, as that is what I have fixed for tonight. Everyone enjoy, have a very good evening, and take care. See you all later.

I had a day that turned out well, though it was a long day at a surgery center. I went in at 6:30 for a colonoscopy which began about eight; before I was put to sleep, the surgeon looked at my backside and saw that I had an abcess that needed to be drained--and the abcess was a long-delayed reaction to the radiation that I had 3 1/2 years ago. The results of the colonoscopy were all negative; nothing untoward was found. After the abscess had been taken care of, I had my first solid food since breakfast yesterday--various types of crackers.We left the center after one p. m.
Thanks for the supper; it looks good.
rvos1979Johnny, got the pictures, there definately was not much left of the car (and looks like the second Mack will need a new hood and bulldog). Any word on the occupants of said car?
....I did another mowing and leaf mulch this afternoon and about 3:30 I walked over to the electronic transmitter {to the indoor/outdoor} temp readout}, and it was reading 65 degrees.....Skies have been mostly gray after a beautiful sunrise here this morning. It was pleasant working in the yard this afternoon. Yard is all green once again.....Most of neighbors leaves are down, so perhaps that's the most of leaf cleanup for this season.

Cloudy and approx 70 degrees here right now. Weather guessers seemingly got it right for today, although their forecast called more for partly Sunny than partly cloudy. Our rain, or chances of are supposed to be late tomorrow. (maybe we can still get a few outside things done today, early tomorrow.)
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").
....Push on in your scouting advancements Justin.....I too was a 2nd class scout when scouting was just 35 years old. In my opinion, becoming an Eagle Scout is a very worthy achievement for a young fellow. Good meaning to it.
Today is supposed to be the crown jewel of the week, with a high of 68, but if it doesn't rain the rest of the week, I can handle the 40's and 50's forecast for the end of the week.
Gotta re-mulch the bulb garden. Didn't do it properly last year. Everything came up, but that included more weeds than I would have had otherwise.
Meatloaf sounds good.
Back to the grind, tea and bearclaw in hand.
good morning
weather guessers say 1 more nice day here in nw ohio.we helped a friend in deshler get a new desk.There was quite a comotion on the toledo sub.A rider left a duffle bag on a car.The police in leipsic weren't sure what was in it so they called for back up.Bag was removed.Rider wasn't found(as far as I know) and q 507 got back on its way.Time for a nap.cw thanks for breakfast.
Joe
My, but you are up early. Good morning from Carolina. 47 degrees and dark at present. Justin, congrats on the Scout advancement. I never made it past flunkie 3rd class, which is one grade above dunt apprentice.... Everybody take care and stay safe
Good Monday morning, all! We have a very nice 52 degrees outside this morning, going for a high of 71 today. Walt, I'm very glad you enjoyed your birthday!!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are ready to go. On the breakfast bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, and BLTs this morning.
This morning is not exactly 'doctor' day for me, but I do have to go back to the Center of Orthotics and Prosthetics, so they can check how I'm doing on the ankle/arch support brace. Just in case I don't make it back in time for lunch, there's plenty of meat loaf, mashed taters w/gravy, etc., that is warming in the Crock Pot and Slow Cooker.
Everyone have a good morning, keep safe and take care. See you all later.

Thanks for the Birthday Wishes Ya'all!!!!! Was a Great Sun Shiny Day suitable for Bike Riding, eating food and just enjoying the day.(and presents)
[With my Sis coming down yesterday, and the great weather we've had for the weekend; has made this one of my more enjoyable B-Days, it's been very nice!]
Mook, I'm very glad you approved of the menu, the meal was great! (and 9 is correct for the last number!)
Justin, Congrats on the Boy Scout things, and I'm glad you like certain foods that I like, other people don't......now are you sure you like Brussel Sprouts?!
Well, an almost belated happy birthday to the resident mutt!
Meatloaf sounds like it was good, but I opted to take daughter and family (including 6 month old grandson) out to dinner. He tried to help me eat my salad, but he's not up to lettuce yet - although he apparently does favor his veggies.
Heading for bed soon, to recover from two days on the concrete floor at the Syracuse train show. I was decked out in my conductor's duds, which caused some confusion, since on of the members of that NRHS chapter routinely makes the rounds, in conductor's uniform, punching the vendor's name tags and handing out much sought after show pins. I must have been asked 20 time if I was the one with the buttons. Aside from my own, I wasn't.
'Nite, all.
Evening all.....
Busy week again, will have logged another 3300 or so miles this week, after delivering in York, PA, tomorrow morning. Am now at Carlisle, PA, taking a break, will probably get rolling about 6am EST to make the 8am appointment.
Johnny, got the pictures, there definately was not much left of the car (and looks like the second Mack will need a new hood and bulldog). Any word on the occupants of said car?
Ahh, comfort food for dinner, I like it, will hopefully be home this Friday night to partake in the real thing (don't worry, the virtual is great as well!!)
See everyone later.....

Mookie, I poked him, and we will be dining tonight on meat loaf, mashed taters & gravy, garden salad, brussels sprouts and crescent dinner rolls w/butter. Dessert: angel food cake w/confetti icing, lemon merangue (sp?) pie, and yellow cake w/chocolate icing. Walt and Sarah are getting the bikes loaded on the Jeep on the bike rack, and preparing to go for their bike ride. I will be here at home, fixing the meat loaf, etc. for supper.

Dog is whining badly at me at the moment....
Ok I gave him a treat, and he is better. Well, I'm proud to annouce that I'm now a second class Boy Scout! I advanced last Thursday. Now I will be working on my first class rank requiremants.
I'm also glad to say that the track laying portion of my layout is almost over! I have one more box of flex track comming, on Wednesday evening. It's easy to lay once you get the hang of it. Next the landscapers will be comming in to put down scenic foam.
Well yall have a good evening!

Modelcar 50 degrees now, and clear skies.....so that means a day of bright sunshine again today.Wish Winter had these kinds of days as the norm, but of course there is no utopia as we know. Even down south has it's down side at times.

Speaking of the down sides of the south, Hurricane Ida is rumbling toward the Gulf Coast. A hurricane watch has even bee issued from Grand Isle, LA to the Mississippi/Alabama Border. Gotta love these late season surprises.
Happy birthday Locomutt!! I hope you have a great birthday!

And now a niece and nephew have told us they have found a Python just 12 miles from them.....and they live just 10 or so miles west of Deland....As most probably know, they are becoming a serious problem in southern Florida....Officials believe it started from people that had them as "pets", later released them out in the swamps and they multiply extremely fast....ugh....Terrible.
