Morning all.
Thanks for breakfast. It is a cool morning here in western Indiana. Frost is on the ground it would be a good morning to go out and take some pictures. Mom and me are going to go train watching tomorrow. I hope we see some trains. I really need to get a scanner.
Have a good day everyone. I’ll see you tonight for supper.

Looks like we've had a very slow morning. Here's the menu for the rest of the day:
FISH: Cod, halibut, haddock, perch, salmon patties, tuna and talapia
SIDE DISHES: Cole slaw, corn on the cob, baked beans, fries, hush puppies, fried breaded mushrooms, macaroni & cheese, potato salad
DESSERTS: Chocolate cake, yellow cake w/chocolate icing, white cake w/coconut icing, apple, cherry and peach cobblers and pecan pie.
Getting ready to go catch a bus in a couple of hours, to go to Walmart. We desparately need printer cartridges and printer paper, along with some rechargable AA batteries. And I may even look at some yarn for myself. Not sure about that one, though.
Everyone enjoy, have a great afternoon, and I'll see you all later.
Good afternoon from the Crossroads of the West. We had about three inches of snow last night out here in the valley--the first appreciable snowfall in the valley in several weeks. It did not stick to the pavement here, but it did cause some trouble east ofhere. The ski resorts had about a foot and a half.
Just think: in nine days, we all (except for the good people in Arizona) start getting up an hour earlier if we have to be anywhere at a certain time! As much as we ourselves prefer to stay on the same standard year-round, we have to comply. To avoid the shock of losing an hour of sleep in one night, Ricki and I start going to bed ten minutes earlier each night until we reach the one hour total. Why may we not observe one standard all year long?

Just came in to se if the "warmer bar" needed freshing up; CW as said earlier has gone to Wally World to get some things we need, she called on her cell phone not long ago informing me that half the stuff we want and Need, is out of stock....Go Figure!
Johnny, why does the Govt. have to mess with anything, Uh...nevermind...............

Hmmm - True Midwest seems to be only place getting much "weather". We have snow, rain, mixed and dry. Had rain overnite - heard it in the gutters ouside our window. Dry now. Supposed to be reasonably nice today, so will venture out.
Coffee to go, please.

Going to be another STUNNING day here in western Indiana. Waiting on the last battery to charge before we go trackside at 8:00. Again, I’m going rail-fanning in hopes of catching some Thoroughbred trains (NS). Joe, thanks for the well wishes. Have they got that double stack train derailment cleaned up yet?
Thought I’d come by and say good morning, and have something to eat(And like Mz. Mook, I’d like a to go coffee if you would. )
Hope you all have a very good Saturday.
Good Saturday morning, everyone. Sarah and I made it back home by about 9 p.m, we ate supper, and then the three of us watched 2012. That's a pretty darn good movie, if none of you have seen it. I think it was after 1 a.m, when I got to bed, and immediately fell asleep. Didn't wake up until after 7 this morning (I had help waking up, Trapper decided to come and wake me up!).
Joe, thank you so very much for making breakfast this morning. Those cinnamon rolls sure do look and taste exceptionally good this morning.
As Walt said last night, half the things we needed, Walmart was out of. I called to check on the cartridges we need for the printer, before I left. So, by the time I got down there, they were sold out of them. It was the one we need most, the black cartridge. So, after I came home, I went online to Staples, and one should be here Tuesday, by good ole UPS.
We have a temp of 27 this morning, going for a high of 55, with cool breezes, and plenty of sunshine.
Everyone have a great day, and I'll see you all back here, around 6 p.m., for our pizza fest.
.....More sunshine, no clouds, but 25 degrees earlier this morning. To reach near 50 today, so nice {late Winter}, weather continues. Note, our morning paper indicates of 50 some degrees thru next Friday for daily highs.
Tulips are poking up thru the ground here....
It is so very nice to know, that Winter will be fleeing instead of approaching.

Good Saturday AM to all. Warm in AZ now. I went to Cubs-Diamondbacks game in Mesa yesterday and it was 75 at 2:30.
Going for my MRI Monday morning at 8::00 and will see what needs to be done for my lower back. Xray shows disc and arthritic damage but MRI should help analyze possible mitigation proceedures.
Good afternoon, CW and everybody. Thanks for breakfast. It's 53 and bright sunshine in Carolina. The girls are outside sunning themselves, and refusing to come inside. It looks like it will be nice for the next couple of days. Everyone take care

Trivia: On this nice sunny day we see reported, we have a 9 million dollar winner here in Muncie on Hoosier Lotto yesterday....That would make the day really nice. Believe it's a retired fellow and he will purchase a "new truck".....Has played the same 6 numbers for 20 years. Made sure I purchased a {one}, Lotto ticket today, as we usually do....Actually two a week.....One for Wed. too.
Plus it also is reported this morning the local newly located headquarters and almost ready manufacturing facility of Brivini Wind....makers of massive gear sets for wind powered power producing windmills....has reported of a new contract of 100 million dollars on an order from I believe it said Finland.
And more orders pending they can't relate yet, so...that one or so miles of railroad spur that must be built in from the Frankfort NS line better soon get under way as it will be needed to transport out the products.
Nice day! Around 40 and actually rolled down one window in Millie! Sat trackside for about 2 hours and watched the powers that be @ BNSF discuss a loaded coal train derailment. We could only see one gon off the rails for sure - it was torqued like a badly broken leg, but remained upright and kept its load. Breakfast interferred with our being there when it happened. We try to keep the excitement down.
Jack, hope everything goes all right for you Monday! Keep us informed on how you're doing, okay?
Anyone ready for our Saturday Night Pizza Fest? Here's the menu:
1. Canadian bacon
2. Cheese w/extra cheese
3. Goetta
4. Hawaiian
5. Pepperoni/mushroom
6. Supreme
7. Italian sausage
I haven't heard the high yet for today. But Sarah has been out in the back yard, working on her cinder block wall. Walt took Win-Win out for a bit, and I've been to the grocery, getting food for everyone.
It has really been a sunshiny day around here. While I was waiting for the bus, over by the car wash, you wouldn't belive what I saw: a woman with a tank top on! It wasn't that warm/hot to call for anyone with any common sense at all, to be wearing a tank top today! It has been breezy, and coolish in shady areas.
You all have a great evening, enjoy your pizzas, and take care.
Plenty of sunshine today! We made a trip to toledo for mamma.While she shopped we saw a CN sd 70 m at the andersons.Then when she was finished we saw a cn transfer to standley yard in toledo.The 2nd unit was a blue CN unit.So I guess we get pizza # 1? Hope everyone had a nice day.
Good evening. CW, a tank top is a bit out of place just yet, but people are curious creatures. I remember going to a drugstore a few years ago when we had a fair amount of snow and seeing a woman all bundled up in overcoat, muffler and gloves, and BAREFOOT! You never can tell with some folk. 42 and clear right now. Everyone take care
Morning all. Breakfast is on the warmer bar. All the usual drinks are hot, or cold and ready to enjoy.
We didn’t see any trains yesterday. Just the dead remains old deer that was hit. We met a new rail fan. He seems nice. I told him about the forum, but he say’s he doesn’t have a PC.
I got one of those fancy iPods yesterday. Not that one you touch, but the Nano. It’s really cool.
Have a good Sunday!
Good Sunday morning, everyone. It's clear skies here this morning, with a current temp of 27, 28 degrees, going for a high of 57 this afternoon. We may see a sprinkle or two of rain tonight. But the vast majority of predicted rain is for tomorrow night, Tuesday into Wednesday.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are freshly made and ready to go, including hot water for our hot tea drinkers.
On the serving staion this morning: cold pizza, bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage, hash brown taters, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy and scrambled eggs.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, those going to Church be safe and everyone take care, whatever your plans are for today.
Rain in Prescott, AZ last night and more expected today. It has been an exceptionally wet winter in AZ and the large reserviors like Roosevelt Lake east of Phoenix are already full and releasing water as the snowmelt is just beginning.
Thanks once again for breakfast Paula. All of you have a great day.
diningcarIt has been an exceptionally wet winter in AZ and the large reserviors like Roosevelt Lake east of Phoenix are already full and releasing water as the snowmelt is just beginning.
Noting the exsessive rain in Az this season I wonder why Hoover Dam is down so much....From the views I see watching that massive by pass bridge being constructed, it appears to be down at least a 100' or or more.
Here, we have sunny skies again this morning. Earlier, started out at 28 degrees. We now have almost all snow melted....Just in the shady spots, and where the plows have stacked it up a bit deeper. some remain. And we're to get back up to around that 50 mark again today....
Quentin, The Colorado River is the principal source for water impounded in the Hoover Dam, Upstream on the Colorado at the Utah-AZ border is the Glen Canyon dam which is also low in water retained. The runoff from the AZ mountains is a relatively small contributor to the Colorado River flow as most AZ runoff flows south to the Verde, Salt and Gila rivers and eventually joins the Colorado River near Yuma.
There are several dams on these rivers (smaller than Hoover and Glen Canyon) which retain this water and which are now full or nearly so. These provide water to the greater Phoenix area, now the fifth largest city in the US.
Morning everyone....
Busy day yesterday after I got to the house, had to run over to parents to rescue my dad, he got one of his work trucks buried in the backyard, ground thawed and turned to mud while he was relocating a shed for my sister's boyfriend's new project: a chicken coop. He can't raise chickens in the city, so my parents got drafted. After yanking dad out of the mud, went to town with Jason to get the lumber he needed, weighed the truck down almost to the overload springs.
Worked a bit on the models this morning, put together a set of test rollers I purchased, now can run engines without them moving an inch. Found out my Athearn Genesis units are a little noisy, but that could be because the center axle is unsupported (rollers came as a set of four).
Thanks for breakfast, now back to the layout.....

Afternoon all. Randy glad you were able to get your Dad's truck out of the mud. That is a problem, after a snow melt or rain, isn't it? Especially when you live on a farm!
Here is our menu for our Sunday Dinner:
1. Fried chicken w/mashed taters, biscuits & gravy, tossed salad, beans, corn
2. Tacos, burritos, w/tossed salad, Spanish rice, and the usual tortilla chips w/dips
I hope you all have a very enjoyable afternoon, and I'll see you all later.

after church I let Matt go to G+G's house.I went to Fc and saw a nice mix of trains.The sad thing I saw was a beat up looking warbonnet on s 393.Cw thanks for supper.time to get things around for work tonight.

Glen Canyon, yes.....remember seeing that {believe that's at Page}, when flying back home from Las Vegas to Chicago when I was on a project out in Az. Then the one at Bullhead City and another down by Lake Havasu City....
Water being down 100' at Hoover would represent a massive amount of water required to refill that.
Good Monday morning everyone. I hope you all had a very good weekend.
We currently have 41 degrees outside (when I woke up at 5:44, it was 43. The high today should be around 61 degrees. Rain possibly come in sometime tonight.
Coffee, juices (oj, oj/tangerine, pineapple, apple, grape) are freshly made, as is the iced teas, and fresh hot water for our hot tea drinkers, hot chocolate, hot cider.
On the warmer/serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
Mookie, here's your coffee mug, and I've got our rockers situated so we can watch the trains go by this morning. Since it's getting liht earlier, we can see them a bit better as they're going by.
If anyone has any meal requests for today, please let me know.
