spokyone Oh what a glorious morning. This is not the Clinton viaduct, but the one going to Arsenal Island. There is a sign telling truckers to use the other entrance.

Is this a victim of modern education? Perhaps the driver of this rig thought he was driving a pickup? Whatever the reason, his semitrailer certainly has a headache--will Bromo-Seltzer help?

Well, no word from the doctor yet.
Since I made meat loaf for Walt last night, I decided to make some here for you all tonight. Along with the meat loaf, you have mashed taters & 'gravy' from the meat loaf, and broccoli w/cheese sauce.
Dessert tonight: strawberry Jell-O w/whipped cream.
At 6:44 p.m., we are receiving some light rain! Didn't think we even had a chance. The cold front must be coming through!
Everyone have a good evening, and either later on tonight, if I hear anything from the doc, or in the morning, I'll let you all know.
Good Thursday morning everyone. Hope you all had an enjoyable evening. I've managed to get everything cleaned up in here from last night (since no one was aparently in here, after I posted the menu).
Still have not heard back from the doctor. I am really, really hoping that that is good news.
We have a temperature this morning, in the low to mid 60s (outlying areas are in the mid to upper 50s), with dry air. Projected high today will be about 82 degrees.
Coffee, juices and other beverages are fresh and ready to go.
I made some muffins and cinnamon rolls for you all this morning. Hope you all enjoy them.
Everyone have a good morning, and I'll see you all later.
morning
a beautiful morning with 58 degrees.going to be a high of 77.going to get a nap.we get to meet Matts teacher today.Thats a nice picture of a dented trailer.I am sure we'll have another one here in defiance before too long.Cw thanks for breakfast.
Earlier at my first check, the temp was 59.9.....That's the coolest we've seen in many, many weeks....perhaps several months. Lots of sunshine, and hunidity seems to be no problem.
Did get my yard mowed last evening....it's oh so dry here....Need rain. Corn in the fields is fast turning dry, but it certainly looks like a bumper crop.....Soybeans as well....Beautiful fields of it all around us outside of the city. Nice thick, and tall {for soybeans}, plants this season. i'm not a farming expert, but those two crops look to be doing great here this season.
Hearing more trains on our nearby N S Frankfort line......Is it time we see the grain hauling east, starting......Seems so.

Well, looks like another very slow day in here. Still no word from Doc yet. Hardly anyone has been in this morning, except for three of us. Where in the world are Mookie, Dan, Johnny, Larry, Brian (oops, he may be at work)?
If anyone does happen in, I've left some fixings for cold cut sandwiches for lunch and possibly supper, in the cooler. There's also garden salad and Ceasar salad, and whatever dressing you might want on your salad.
cherokee womanBrian (oops, he may be at work)
Yep! Pretty busy, too. Back in "lurk" mode...
Brian (IA) http://blhanel.rrpicturearchives.net.
I have been out all day. Just got home. I am going to go watch Brian lurk.

Why did the chicken close the road?
MOLINE -- A semi-tractor trailer carrying 40,000 pounds of frozen chicken closed the Interstate 74 eastbound ramp to Interstate 280 Wednesday afternoon when the vehicle went onto its side.
I'm fairly certain the frozen chicken was not our Sir Mud. I think he is in a safe place resting.
Had to go to our fairly new doctor today - Driver pulled a rib muscle and had it checked out. There is hope out there, people. Driver went for x-rays and for the first time in all my 100 years of doctoring - our doctor got me a cup of coffee!!
The sky is falling!
We had a chance to meet Matt's teacher today.He can also eat at the school and his book fees are all paid.On a traffic update the clinton st can opener wins again.The guy's with the tow truck said we were too late.They had removed the truck from the viaduct.I tried to post pics on here but the 2 programs aren't talking to each other right now.Time to get things around for work.Tonight is thankfully friday.
Hello all!
CW, I hope you get to feeling better and congrats on the weight loss!
I’ve been quite a busy bee lately with class officers and stuff. Back for now though. Ive got some new shots of trains as well, which I will post in the general discussion area.
In all 9th grade is going well.
///BE SAFE\\\

The road to to success is always under construction. _____________________________________________________________________________ When the going gets tough, the tough use duct tape.
Mookie, hope the driver is resting comfortably tonight! I know Nurse Mookie will take excellent care of him.
Well, the doctor called earlier this evening. He hasn't gotten all the test results back yet, but what he has gotten looks good. So my mind is a little bit more at ease tonight. I just hope when he gets the rest of the results in, they look as good as the first round.
Our State Fair is continuing. Our favorite local station (which happens to be the official weather station for the Fair this year) had their total day at the fair today. Aparently, the big good attraction this year is a cheeseburger sandwich that is put between two Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The chief meterologist said the sandwiches are so big, one person could pay the $8 for the 'sandwich' and split it with 3 other people. The total calories of this cheeseburger is something like 800.
Today has been a very beautiful day. Clear skies, practically no humidity, and a very nice cool breeze has been blowing all day long. Tonight/early morning, we're to get somewhere down to the mid to upper 50s for, I guess the first time since the end of April. The AC in our bedroom is off auto cool and on auto fan, is very comfortable.
Everyone have a great evening, take care and I'll see you all in the morning.
Paula, its good to her that, so far, your doctor has not found anything disturbing. Now, if he can come up with a cure for whatever is ailing you, it will be wonderful.
I'm sure that Tom, Walt, and everyone else who takes part in the moving of the cafe is glad to know that they will not have to roll their sleeves up before the end of month since we will be incommunicado on the 30th and 31st. Will we survice?
.
WAKE UP. Breakfast is ready. I made biscuits & gravy with scrambled eggs & bacon. Juice, coffee, & dairy products are on the bar with some bear claws & long johns.

Johnny, we're not moving anyway (note new subject title for this thread).
I'm awake - and now my ears are ringing.
But it is Friday and the weekend looks reasonably nice. Even retired, the weekends are still special.
Joe - our football season starts next weekend We play Western Kentucky on 9/4 - anyone know where Kentucky is - let alone Western Kentucky?
Hurricanes out there - 'nuff said.
Off to sneak up on some lurkers.....

Good Friday morning everyone. Bob, thanks so much for taking care of breakfast this morning. My, what a spread you put out this morning. I don't know what I want to eat this morning. Hard decision to make. The country girl in me loves biscuits & gravy, but the long johns look delicious also! Unfortunately, I just took my antibiotic, and I can't have anything with milk or dairy for a couple of hours now. Maybe I'll just grab a couple of biscuits and gravy, and set them aside for awhile, until I can have them.
I had set the alarm to get up this morning, so I could open up in here. But was still very sleepy, so I turned over in the bed, and went back to sleep for a couple more hours. Surprisingly, the cats let me sleep without bothering me. They sure do know who feeds them in the mornings!
Everyone have a blessed day, keep good thoughts, and take care. See you all later on.
MookieWe play Western Kentucky on 9/4 - anyone know where Kentucky is - let alone Western Kentucky?
Yeah, Mookie: It is southwest of us here in Louisville, towards the Tennessee border.
......We have a cool morning.....56 degrees earlier.
But full of sunshine, it looks like we'll have a nice sunny clear skies, day.

And they actually have a small "Railpark" at the old Railroad Station in this town, several passenger cars and an old L & N E-6 unit on display.
There's also the Duncan Hines Museum and Corvette Factory & Museum in this town.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Send E6 with team. Will meet them Friday nite and take it off their hands....Throw in Corvette and I will meet them half-way.
afternoon
errands and chores done.Matt has the trains ready to go to Deshler.going to meet up with a friend tonight.He has had a busy busy week and a sit down on the deck sounds good for him tonight.

Since I don't think anything fried would help me right now, I decided to gril the fish tonight. The fish have been taken off the grill and are now on the serving station, keeping nice and warm.
Side dishes tonight: mac & cheese, fries, hush puppies, breaded fried mushrooms, cornbread, corn on the cob and baked beans for you all.
Everyone enjoy, have a good evening and take care.
You all march around the breakfast table.
I will direct from the hammock.
