If anyone would like to know, my brother Tim was released from the heart hospital yesterday afternoon (Friday). I talked with his wife over the phone and she told me that he is doing O.K. I did not talk directly with him, Roxie told me that he was sleeping in his reciner in the living room. How long it will be before he goes back to work, God only knows, but all of us have told him to rest up, take it easy and take it one day at a time.
On another note, I have a nephew who is stationed in the U.S. Army and he and his wife live in Oklahoma. Seargent Jason Liptak ended up seeing an orthodpedic ocologist after it was discovered that he has two rather large tumors, one in one of his knees, and the other located between one of his shoulder blades and spine. His mother emailed me yesterday and informed me that both tumors have proven to be benign - non cancerous!!
I for one, feel that God definitely answers prayer!!

Good Sunday morning, everyone. Hope you all had a great day yesterday.
1. Brian, yes, you got me there. Although, sometimes I use the Bisquick Heart Healthy mix for baking the biscuits, pies and cakes, etc.
2. Ray, glad to hear that your brother Tim is home and doing o.k.
3. Joe, thank you so much for taking care of breakfast this morning. I really appreciate you guys around here! Think I'll just grab a couple of pancakes, and a couple of sausage, and enjoy breakfast this morning!
We currently have 65 degrees, with a 60% chance of showers/thundershowers for today, with a high of 71. But the weather guessers say it will be out of here tomorrow, and this next week should be a dry week for us. Lets hope so!!
Everyone enjoy your morning, keep safe, and take care. Do we have any requests for Sunday Dinner?
Ray - That's definitely good news times two.
Looking like a mixed week here. Some showers in the forecast, but it shouldn't be a bad week.
It'll be busy, though.

Ray - good news! Always welcome.
Tree - retirement was manageable until Driver retired. Now I can't seem to find my head or time, either one. Our week is all appointments!
Rain in area, but nothing to write home about.
Joe, et al - watched history channel last nite - how state boarders were "drawn". You all have interesting boarders. True mid-west has mostly box boarders. Seems royalty had a hand in yours - railroad in ours. We got the better deal, I think.....
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
grampaw pettiboneIt's amazing how little the general public knows about the railroads
Tom, I don't find the fact the public knows little about railroads are still out there, hauling much of today's freight and some passengers. It has appeared to me, they have kind of promoted this {non image and profile}, for decades....Maybe purposely....I'm not sure why, but it sure does appear that way from the routine of RR's to be kind of stealth. {I hear a horn just north of us now on the NS line.....They can't keep that quiet most places}, though....
Sunday morning has started out earlier here at about 60 degrees and a possibility of some rain the next few days...Not steady or any big weather front, just the possibility of some rain during those upcoming days and with temps in the upper 60's and about 70.
It's about time for the Church and S S cycle routine this morning....so soon must get ready.
Jen...I can kind of relate to the busyness folks seem to aquire as retirement routine moves on.....I seem to have new magazines here on a monthly basis that I really don't get them all read until the next months edition is arriving....including TRAINS mag. You might sense how fast it seems to be moving for me as I'm in my 17th year of retirement...!
But I'm not complaining....We're still going.....

Mookie Pan fried chicken, mashed/cream gravy - for starters? Ray - good news! Always welcome.
Mookie, I like your idea for Sunday Dinner! So, here's the entire menu:
1. Pan fried chicken, mashed taters, cream gravy, green beans, corn, biscuits, your choice of garden salad or cole slaw
2. Beef noodles, green beans, corn, biscuits, your choice of garden salad or cole slaw
3. White Castle hamburgers, and WC cheeseburgers, w/your choice of fries or onion rings.
I'm not sure what our current temp is, but with the off and on rain, it is very cool here. Had to dig out a pair of sweat pants and a sweat shirt to put on, and put socks on my feet.
Everyone have a good afternoon, stay dry and warm if you can, and everyone take care!

Hi all. I need your help.
I had my first slow dance Friday night. She was so beautiful. The way here eyes sparkled was amazing! For the first time in my life the first ting I think of isn’t a westbound intermodal train making it to LA on time… I feel so weird… What is it?
PS: I still like trains!

Actually, Ms Mook, all of the one-time "Northwest Territory" (MI, OH, IN, IL, WI and part of MN) is laid out in 36 square mile townships, six miles on a side. There are variations, but not a lot. Each state has a baseline and a meridian, and the townships are officially designated by their relationship to those lines. I lived in township two north, range 7 east (second township north of the baseline, seventh east of the meridian).
Each township is also broken up into square mile "sections" (640 acres) which are numbered. These figure into official property descriptions. After one gets done with the "rock by the river" stuff, your property description might include "in the NW quarter of the SE quarter of section 10 of township 2N, Range 7E.
I'm sure the idea carried further west as the lands were developed.
See - I did learn something in 7th Grade "Michigan History and Government..."
Um...Tree....You are forgiven, being that you are a resident in a metes & bounds/colonial ("rock by the river")state. As for your Michigan teacher, we may have to discuss a few things (seance/ouijii board required?)...
The Michigan Principal Meridian (1815) controlled parts of Michigan and Ohio (including the contested portion and the Yoopers are a tad off). Ohio has some townships only five miles square (Fire Lands, and Jefferson wanted TEN). Ohio was the guinea pig test for the public lands system, all kinds of different numbering systems and related nonsense starting in 1785 (Seven Ranges/Ohio Purchase)...Some in Ohio don't have an origin (0,0) or a baseline. I grew up in the Symmes Purchase (no origin) and Joe lives inside the First Principal Meridian.

Mooks may get her bloomers in a bunch (again) , but she and I live in the 6th Principal Meridian. Diningcar and I have spent years trying to figure out what some of those original surveyors did. (ps- The four corners is right where it is supposed to be, the surveyors didn't goof. The media sure got fooled badly on that one)
There are places that the GLO/BLM never got to.

Good Monday morning, everyone. Justin, you're just growing up! Girls are starting to interest you more and more. It's all part of Nature.
We have 61 degrees this moring, and no rain (at least not yet, anyway), going to a high of 69,70 degrees. Yes, we have a possibility of more rain later this morning.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, cantaloupe, watermelon, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & sausage gravy.
We have elections tomorrow. I'm still trying to figure out who I will be voting for. Will be voting for Louisville Metro Mayor, State Senator, Representative, and some District Court/Division judges. Oh well, enough of that.
Everyone have a good morning, and take care.
CW - we lucked out this year. We voted by mail and then left town when they had our primary. That way we didn't have to watch all the insufferable voting returns all nite on tv.
Heading for the cantaloupe!

Cool and very light mist....and that might continue off and on for several days....Wow...bring on the hay rakes. Yard is going to get out of control if I can't get on it.....
Well, we've not gotten any rain yet, but it looks like some is on its ways in. Unfortunately. I wish it would bypass us! Sick of all this rain.
The menu for the rest of the day:
1. Italian spaghetti w/meat balls, garlic Texas toast, garden salad or Caesar salad
Yes, mudchicken, the Reds are in first place in the central division. Let us hope they can keep it for awhile!
Everyone have a good afternoon, and take care.
Stay away from the spaghetti bowl and nobody in he diner gets hurt!
Afternoon/evening all......
Has been an interesting last few days, what with me being down with what I thought was food poisoning (it was, kinda), and truck issues (major electrical issues). Am at the house right now, waiting on repairs.
Larry: I thought Wisconsin lost the U.P. of Michigan in a poker game?
Well, see everyone later.....

The ultimate consolation prize is what happened to the state of Georgia. I cannot find the referrence but at one time Georgia went west all the way to the Mississippi river except for Louisana and Florida. The back room deals and politics fill a whole book. The final outcome creating Alabama and Mississippi had to be decided by the US Supreme court.
Originally all the colonies from New York south to Georgia extended west to French Territory, but were trimmed to more manageable sections when they proved too big to govern.
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. We currently have a temp of 61 degrees, with foggy conditions. Our high today: 64, so not much of a temperature change today. Also going to have drizzles, light rain most of the day.
Randy hope you're soon feeling better!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And, of course, there's plenty of hot water for our tea drinkers.
On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, biscuits, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and gravy.
I heard on the news this morning, that today is the (?) anniversary of the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens. How long ago has that been? I do not recall them saying how many years (caught the very last of the sound bite).
Everyone have a good morning, if you're in the foggy areas, please be careful this morning, and hope most of you will be able to stay dry.
Modelcar .......If it's spaghetti it must be angle hair and dry bread sticks and butter.
Quentin, is that your favorite spaghetti/pasta? I really don't care for the angel hair pasta. As far as bread sticks go, I usually make sure they have enough moisture in them when I'm making them , and cover them with butter/margarine. And that's one reason I prefer the Texas toast: it is never too dry.
That'd be 30 years CW. Quite the mess it made and scars can still be seen out there. Sunshine and 46 right now with just a faint breath of breeze. You must have run over an AMC Randy...how else did you get those Gremlins in the wiring?
