spokyoneHey Brian! Great to hear you are so much better. I'm gonna' eat a banana split in your honor this afternoon.
Go right ahead, I don't do bananas. Show me a hot fudge sundae, though, and I'll show you an empty dish.

Willy2As much as I love riding the train, I don't think I'll be following in your footsteps anytime soon. That's too many trains even for me!

Good Thursday morning, everyone. Well, it looks like you all did quite well, with my being absent yesterday. I was feeling fairly well yesterday (no aches, pains), so I attacked laundry. Got bedclothes all washed up, kitchen towels, pot holders, etc., are all clean and ready to mess up again, around here. By the time I finished, I was too pooped to even think about getting on the computer.
Congratulations to Papa Larry, son, dil, and rest of family on your new addition to the family!!
Also congratulations to Johnny and Ricki on a trip that saw you arrive back home safe and sound!!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, BLTs, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy, cantaloupe, watermelon, kiwi, payaya, seedless grapes (red, white, purple) and blueberries.
And Willy, be sure and wish a Happy Birthday to your Mom! Are you going to take her out to dinner/supper for her birthday? Or possibly cook a meal at home for her?
Everyone have a very safe day, and take care.
Good morning, and Happy Birthday Adrian. May you have many more of them.
79 and sunny, but calling for a morning thunderstorm and then more in the evening.
Not much more to report at this time. Everyone take care

Good morning all! Thanks for breakfast!
Well the humidity had finaly moved out of our area. I’m thankful for that. We went riding 4-wheelers last night, and discovered that some of the corn in our area is up to my shoulders! It sure is coming up at quite a clip. I hope to go rail fanning today after dad gets home, but we’ll have to see how he feels. Have a good day all!

Johnny.....Your extensive RR trip sounds great....One question. With todays priorities on the rails, do you find a lot of very slow running due to other trains {freight}, outclassing the Amtrak priority....?
I'm guessing one might run into many situations of being put to the siding, and or slow running. That which could get boring as compared to nice, enjoying high speed running.....
Quentin
Happy Birthday, Adrian!! If you're around, is there anything special you'd like for supper, and birthday dessert?
Was just out on the front porch, and it doesn't feel too bad. Believe our high is to be in the low to mid 90s today, with a very slight chance of a popup shower,thunderstorm.
For lunch today, I've fixed some sloppy joes, tuna melt casserole, tater chips to go with the sloppy joes, and we have a nice fresh garden salad.
Do I have any requests for supper tonight, just in case Adrian doesn't make it in?
For lunch today, I've fixed some sloppy joes
Strange. I have not had those in years. But yesterday I bought a can of Manwich.
.....Not quite finished with shrub trimming yet....Almost, but it's too hot and humid to continue right now, so hopefully I can finish it up later today when it gets a bit cooler.
.....Item: The 1929 Ford Tri-motor airplane {to be here to the 20th}, just flew over and I ran outside to see it....Forgot this was the first day for it here at our Muncie airport.
So, we'll head out there tomorrow to see it and hopefully get some photos of it....maybe in action. Hopefully. It didn't sound unusual.....just like many old radial engined planes....I was thinking perhaps with the 3 engines, it might have a slightly different sound. And maybe closer, it does.
afternoon

Well, since I received no requests for anything different tonight, I've replenished the sloppy joes, tuna melt casserole and garden salad, and put out more tater chips on the serving station.
Guess we'll all be in the 3 Hs for the next week, or so, starting tomorrow. Our official high today was in the mid to upper 80s, but tomorrow, looks like we'll be in the mid to upper 90s. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
Welllll, they've changed the guess to no thunder! Three days without a thunderstorm. What have we done??
Plenty hot, tho. At present 93 and partly cloudy as the sun begins to set.
Everyone have a great evening, and thanks for supper, Paula
Noted the evening Indy TV news indicated: Next 5 days to be 90 or more.
And of course, here....that means humidity too.
So much for the weather quacks, Willy. First, they forecast a thunderstorm. Then they changed it to partly clear and no thunder. Guess what came rumbling overhead a coupla hours ago and chased me off the wireless. Phooey!
Quentin, we had very few delays caused by bad meets (waiting for a freight to show). Most of the meets (and overtakes) with freights were well handled. I never did learn, however, why we sat in Houston, after leaving the station, for about three hours. One freight that we met almost filled the pass track.
39 degrees in Salt Lake this morning, with the rain having ended last night, and up into the sixties by this afternoon.
CREAK.....
^OO^ ?
Willy - nice rain. Didn't need lid at all.
Good Friday morning, everyone. Our current temp is 75 degrees, temp's supposed to get back up in the mid 90s today.
Coffee, juices and other regular morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Everything from milk to the hot water for our hot tea drinkers.
On the serving station, we have the regular bagels and bear claws, to our Friday morning doughnuts, including the chocolate covered, cream filled long johns to the regular glazed doughnuts, along with bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits & gravy. And we also have some raspberry danish.
Mookie, which would you like to have this morning, with your coffee?
I hope everyone has a very good morning, keep safe, take care, and I'll see you all later on. Going to go tackle emails.
Good morning from Carolina. At present, it is cloudy and 75 degrees, after two thunderstorms last night. The second one woke me up around 4 AM, and then the girls got me up to stay around 5:30. More of the same expected later today.
Paula, thanks for the great breakfast, and everyone have a great day.
CW - you hit the jackpot this a.m. I have always loved (next to chocolate cake) long johns with chocolate and cream filling. Of course, they give me indigestion, so I can only lick off the frosting and eat the cream filling, but it is the thought that counts! Chocolate cake never gives me fits of any kind!
cherokee woman And Willy, be sure and wish a Happy Birthday to your Mom! Are you going to take her out to dinner/supper for her birthday? Or possibly cook a meal at home for her?
My dad and I took my mom out to eat last night, to the restaurant of her choice.
It's a good thing my mom is pretty forgiving or my dad would be in the doghouse. In the birthday card he gave her, he wished her a happy 68th birthday, which is ten years too many! Oops.
Tom - sorry about the storms. Sometimes things go awry.
Johnny - On our trip to Arizona in May, I noted that the Southwest Chief was almost always given priority over the freight trains. In fact, there were quite a few very well executed overtakes in New Mexico and Arizona.
Willy
good morning
well mom got word to a friend of mine and now we have laptop computer.He helped set it up for us.It is an early fathers day/birthday present.I have some other things to set up on it after my nap.Going to be a triple H day with rain coming this weekend in nw ohio.
//battens down the hatches
It's on its way through Iowa right now...
Mookie, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed our treats this morning! Even at 58 years old, if I eat too much chocolate, my face will break out with two or three pimples. Disgusting, isn't it?
Willy, I'm glad your Mom had a nice birthday dinner with you and your Dad. And shame on him, for getting her age wrong!
Tom, you're very welcome on today's breakfast choices.
Joe, congrats on getting a laptop computer. I would love to have one. Maybe one of these days (years).
Brian, hope you all are okay!
Our Friday Fish Fry is now under way.
FISH: Cod, Catfish, Haddock, Halibut, Perch, Salmon croquets, Jumbo butterfly shrimp, and Clam cakes.
SIDE DISHES: Baked beans, cole slaw, corn on the cob, fries, hush puppies, breaded deep fried mushrooms, macaroni & cheese, cornbread.
DESSERTS: Chocolate cake, yellow cake w/caramel icing, pecan pie, and the following cobblers: apple, blueberry, cherry, peach, raspberry and strawberry. All served with your flavor choice of ice cream.
It is very muggy and hot out. We probably have the slight possibility of some scattered showers/tshowers. Our high today is supposed to be 95, and I would imagine it is very close to 90, 92 degrees outside right now.
Everyone have a very good afternoon, keep cool and safe, and I'll see you all later on.
cherokee woman Brian, hope you all are okay!
All is well here- just alittle wetter. Had a 47 MPH gust during the storm, though...

Brian, glad to hear that everything is o.k. Enjoy your weekend, and be sure to check out the Cafe Sunday!!
I've refreshed and replenished everything for tonight's Friday Fish Fry on the serving station.
Anybody need a pet? After that last round, we've got plenty of cats and dogs to go around... Good Lord, if this keeps up, 2008 will seem like just another damp summer!
rounds 1 and 2 came through last night.alot of wind and rain but no damage here.There was a report of a tornado near pettisville ohio(between archbold and wauseon).But nothing has been confirmed.Breakfast is ready and on the warmer bar.We have juice,coffee and gatorade too.getting things ready to go to lima.we'll report later.
Good Saturday morning, everyone. Joe, thanks for taking care of breakfast this morning. I've been up since 5:25, but we were getting thunder, lightning, and rain. We even lost power for just a couple of minutes: long enough, for us to have to set clocks. Seems to be well east of us now, although we are still getting a little bit of rain. Checked the rain guage, looks like we've gotten about a 1/3 of an inch so far this morning. We're supposed to get up to about 96 degrees today, so bet we'll probably see a little bit more popup showers/storms in the heat of the day.
Brian, sounds like you have quite a few pets. Want to send us a little puppy? Preferably one that won't grow too large, would be all right. We've now been dogless for two weeks, and we're still looking around for our beloved Win-Win. We sure do miss that girl.
Everyone have a good morning, and you all take care with whatever you have planned for today. See you all later this evening, for our Pizza Fest.
Everyone have a good day.
Good morning from Carolina. 74 with fog and haze this morning. The guess is for the high 90s and of course, a thunderstorm later. We had a real whizzbanger of a storm yesterday, with all the bells and whistles. Not only that, slightly over 2 inches of rain in just over an hour. It makes me grateful for a roof that doesn't leak!!
I think I will turn in for a nap since I've been up most of the night. Everyone take care
