locomutt On a very somber note, we had to have our 14 1/2 year old "puppy" put down today. She would have been 15 in Nov.

Walt.....that's a sad situation to endure....but the proper one for doing right for the pet. It can be very difficult. So our feelings are with you tonight.

Quentin...Did you buy a new car????
Your avatar used to have a white car.
.....A sharp eye.....But must answer yes. The former white Lexus has turned into a {just getting used to}, dark gray Lexus.....It has a color name and right now I can't think of it. Our white one we had quite a few years and the same day we traded, it made a young couple very happy.
We did a deal this past Friday and was planing to head out east to the home land for the long holiday weekend, so making the deal and still having to get ready when we got back home from the dealer made a busy evening.
Everything worked fine to and fro...
All, Thanks So much for responding about the loss of our "puppy"; She will be(and is be sorely missed)
[as I'm typing this, she's not here next to me, she was half of my screen name.]
(does crying count?!)
Last word I had was that she had run over the "Rainbow Bridge", and was sniffing butts with a Dalmation, a Scottie or two, and some other dogs.
I don't think she'll have any lack of friends.

Willy, Mookie and mudchicken, thank you all! The three of us are already really missing our Win-Win pup-pup.
I have refreshed and replenished the serving station/warmer bar with our Fish Fry, and all the side dishes.
Everyone have a good evening, and I'll see you all in the morning.
Walt & CW: Add BossHen, da Boyz and myself to the list of those sending our sympathies. We got to meet "the puppy" when she was younger. 100+ in dog years is a pretty good run.
Walt and CW - sympathies to you from the Driver and myself. Any of us that have had pets know what you are going thru. Some others won't understand, but then they never had a place in their hearts for a pet.

I'm very sorry to hear about that Walt. Remember the poem about the Rainbow Bridge:
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Well..... I guess CW will be in shortly to refresh the food.......didn't get to see very many trains today, had other things on agenda.

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").
The best-laid plans of mice and men oft go awry....
Was supposed to be home this morning, but I guess due to a dispatcher's lousy sense of direction and timing, will not get home until tomorrow afternoon. Made it to Greenfield, IN, today, about 6-7 hours shy of home. Will just get up at midnight again and run in the dark, have liked doing it the last week and a half.
Well, off to bed, then the midnight run.......

Tom.....You might look at the "May" diner site, as I answered a question on it that was posed when we were out east, and that brought it up to page 1 and you might not have noticed, and posted on it....Just a guess.
We are either hearing thunder, or the preparations for this weekend's air show. It used to be held in May and was called the May Fly, but for some reason is in June now.
This Sunday is the wife's birthday. Hard to fathom that my old lady is really an old lady now.
Everyone take care

A rather warm "Summer" morning here....Partly cloudy but lots of sunshine too.
Having some more shrubs cut out again....Must get them down {in numbers}, that I can better take care of them. Too many, but now less than several years ago.
Witnessed very few trains on our 400 mi. journey back to home land Pennsylvania over this past long holiday weekend. But then, we weren't at too many "good places" to really see rail activity. Mostly interstates, etc...
morning
work day done.weekend here.graduation parties to go to.orange looks good on the 4449.Cw thanks for breakfast.Time for a nap while mom and matt go grocery shopping.We'll see what we can get into when they get home.
Good Friday morning, everyone. Mudchicken, love the idea! We could have a permanent home again, couldn't we?!?! But I do have to agree with Mookie and Mutt: the orange color should go.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Usual breakfast is on the serving station/warmer bar.
Everyone have a good morning, and see you all later.
Just wondering if it is still residing on Sprague Av in Spokane Valley WA. It's been a while since I lived there.
Velly Interestink!! Does it come in any color beside orange? Red, White & Blue would be nice!
[I think there's room in our backyard without moving anything.]
mudchicken UM....hows about we move the DD&CS into this: http://www.ozarkmountainrailcar.com/prr_e8_5808.htm I'm sure selector and the Trains staff are independently wealthy enough to acquire it and I'm sure Mookie can drag out the big shoehorn and slide it in-between the Big-Boy and the DD40AX already in her backyard....

Made some notes....
Where's the porcelain god? Ugh orange has to go! $55K - not too bad a price. Must have original whistle. See they have his and her seats. But did they really need to stencil Fireman and Engineer on them? I can move the neighbors car and have more than enough room in back yard. There are 3 stalls back there and our neighbor can park at the neighbors.
Let me know when you are ready to ship!
chores and errands done.Need a vaction from my vacation day!! Saw on another web site that csx had a mess on the C&O in fostoria.Carl was heading that way and said that RJ corman was picking up coal cars.They are on their way now to Michigan.Thanks for the sloppy Joes and fries CW.As I told carl yesterday"I'm not sloppy today,I took a shower".
Well, Joe, glad to hear that everyone had a good time yesterday! And you're welcome on breakfast.
As for this afternoon and tonight, here's the menu:
1. Sloppy joes w/garden salad and your choice of fries or tater chips
2. Tuna salad, beef, turkey subs (hoagies) with above mentioned sides
Getting ready in a little bit to take a bus trip to Walmart, to get the yarn I need to finish our great niece's blankey/afghan. She'll be turning a year old on the 20th. My, how this year has flown by!!
good morning
whew what a day yesterday with Carl and Pat.We started in marion ohio and then gave them the dollar tour of defiance.Carl got to see the maw in action,FC,the clinton st viaduct(and some of the others) and also the Fort ground near the library where defiance was founded.Need to do errands and chores today.Tonight its back to work but it will be friday.Cw thanks so much for breakfast and lunch.
Good morning, after a stormy afternoon, evening and early AM. We got just under two and a half inches which was needed badly. The boffins promise more of the same with a high of 82 for both today and tomorrow.
I've been watching the situation between Israel and Turkey very closely. It looks very bad at present.
Good Thursday morning, everyone. We have a current temp of about 74 degrees, and have had some rain overnight. There are some counties northwest of us, in southern Indiana, who are under a severe thunderstorm warning (supposed to over in about 3,5 minutes for them). According to what I've seen on the weather this morning, we're only supposed to have rain; so hopefully ,all the bad stuff will stay away from us.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. There's milk, chocolate milk, cider, iced tea and hot water is on for our hot tea drinkers. And on the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage patties/links, scrambled eggs, toast w/various flavors of jelly/jam/preserves, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
Willy, looks like you all had some 'nice' storms rolling thru Omaha. Nice shots you got of it!
Walt, your picture is pretty good, also. Huh, think you could spray paint the brick pieces Red, White and Blue?
Everyone have a very good morning, stay dry, if you are in the areas getting the rain/storms, and take care.
Mookie Your penalty will be - you will have to mow!
Your penalty will be - you will have to mow!
.......And I did that this afternoon...{in the heat}, and had to just take a half cut so it would look nice.....So really, I mowed twice. The second one can be stuck in storage and used for next penalty.
Had mowed Friday afternoon before the holiday....Just a bit too long to wait to repeat the way it's growing now......
Sarah didn't get called by the R.R. to work this evening, so she did some other work in our front yard; a little creativity in flower bed close to the big pine tree.
For those not on Facebook, I thought I would share a few photos of an intense storm that moved through Omaha on Monday evening. At home, we had 1.88" of rain in less than an hour, as well as quarter size hail and a wind gust to 65 mph.
Finally, I like this shot of a BNSF coal train that I got on Memorial Day. Even though it appears rural, this is actually right in the middle of the Omaha metropolitan area.
Mookie you will have to mow!
you will have to mow!
I just mowed on Monday. It's due again.
Travelled down to the railroad to help with a bit in a commercial. The actual filming lasted about 30 seconds or so. At least I got some minor repairs done on one of our cars while I was there.
Gonna rain tonight, I think. That'll really help the lawn along. Maybe we'll duck some of the heavy stuff, though.
