Good Saturday morning everyone. Especially to Mookie and Bob, who are already here! We went out last night, first time I've been out for over a week, at least. Went to Walmart, then stopped at Texas Roadhouse to bring supper home. Then, we watched a movie: The DaVinci Code. Interesting movie, that is all I'll say.
So you all won't have to march around the tables, I've got breakfast on the serving station, and you can walk around it to fill your plates. You'll find a nice assortment of Saturday Brunch available: everything from pancakes, waffles, biscuits/gravy, country fried ham, grits, oatmeal, to fresh fruits.
Hope everyone has a great day, keep safe and take care. See you all later this evening, for our pizza fest.
Decided to come back in real quick, to say Congratulations to Ed Blysard and family on the arrival of their first granddaughter! Hope Mom and baby are doing great!!
I started to put it on the 'announcement' site, the Author! Author! thread. But decided put the congrats over here.
. Vivian Huston and Vella Gowdy, two wonderful twins are celebrating their 100th birthday today. Vella lives just up the street. Vivian moved to the nursing home earlier this year after living next door to her twin for over 50 years. Harry Huston worked for the CRI&P.
Good afternoon all!
Had a friend over this morning, which was fun (even thou we were working on a school project.) CW, thanks for breakfast. We will be going to our friends house for a hotdog roast tonight around 5:00 pm.
Hope you all have a good day!
-Justin

.....Weather is just about perfect here today...{of course, we know it's way too dry}, but beautiful clear blue sky, which means low humidity, with comfortable temps. More of the same expected for next several days.

Justin, I like all three of your pictures! Good job, Buddy!
Quentin, it's been a very lovely day down here in Louisville, also! We have only the fans on. House is still in the comfortable zone.
Here is our Saturday Night Pizza Fest menu:

You know it's been a nice week when you have left the truck shut off overnight all week......
About 60 here in Mauston, WI, to dip slightly lower tonight, then up to 90 for tomorrow, low humidity helping. Just have not had time or wi-fi access to come in this past week....
Off to the headquarters of Menard's tomorrow, they are out of Rubbermaid products again......

Good morning, it's Sunday. 70 and clear in Carolina this lovely day. Tomorrow and Tuesday, the diner will be closed whilst the powers that be repair the road that we are on!
Breakfast is on the bar and soft drinks and juices are at the fountain. Enjoy
Congrats to the Blysards on the new arrival. Always a treasure.
I will be changing my ISP sometime this coming week, so may not be available until I can get that sorted out. Hopefully, it won't take too long
Everyone take care

Good morning all!
Joe: They have been dumping ties along the Lafayette District as well. They have cut off gondolas in the MOW siding in Attica.
CW: Thanks! Ive been working real hard on my photogrophy!! I Appreciate that very much!
Church and then to Attica for some rail fanning later with Dad. If, I can get him to take me…
Sure is a pretty morning, but supposed to be hot and humid later.

Good morning from Des Plaines, Illinois, where we spent the night after attending a wedding yesterday.
Just checking in to also pass along congrats to Ed, although I haven't seen the article yet. It's probably sitting in my mailbox waiting for me (I hope).

Beautiful morning.....earlier, 70 degrees, perhaps to hit around 90 this afternoon. Very, very dry. Need rain, but no chance yet for several days, and then, just a chance.
Ed - Congrats! Grandchildren are fun!
Worked a triathlon this morning on the EMS mountain bike. The first portion involved both swimmers (600 meters) and kayakers (3 miles), so there were two venues to watch (although I stayed ashore). Then the cyclists took off for their 18 mile trek. I stayed back and waited for them to return. Then they took off running on a 5K course, which we did monitor by riding the route.
I have no idea who won, but he must have been flying. I think he finished the run portion before a lot of the participants got back from the bike section.
Got the lawn mowed, too. Now back to preps for Mom's arrival.

Good Sunday afternoon everyone. Well, woke up this morning to not having internet access. Aparently, there was some problem in the line somewhere. By just after 4 p.m., we had access again. At least this time, it wasn't a virus messing things up for us!!
Larry, we have a triathlon going on here in Louisville today. It started at 7 a.m. this morning, with the swim in the Ohio. To the best of my knowledge, it is still going on.
Everyone take care, and guess we'll see you all maybe Tuesday evening?
......Yes, it really did warm up. 92 plus now....sun shining.
Sunday meal with friends today at Texas Road House after church.
Just a quick reminder that we will be closed from around 0900 today until around 5 PM tomorrow for road repairs. I will miss all of you.
67 and clear in Carolina, expected to hit 92 later.
See ya tomorrow evening. Take care
Alright, I made it in for breakfast. The proper way to start the day.Now I just need to find a new place to lurk.
Take care, everyone!
....I didn't expect to see this forum still up and running this time of the morning. Expect it will soon be down for the "changes".
Another warm day starting here.....72 much earlier for our start, and that probably ='s 90 plus by this afternoon.
I hope when this site returns, I'll be able to figure it out to continue.
Everyone, have a good week. As I've indicated before, we're not all accomplished "Geeks".
Well, welcome back. We are open for business again with the usual fare on the bars. It is good to be back, I needed the fix.... The new look will take some getting used to, but we will survive
Hi there everyone. Looks like we're back up on track and rolling along! Hope you all enjoyed our time away from here. Still don't know any more on my condition. Maybe Doc is waiting until I go see him Friday the 3rd. Right now, I just know that I'm feeling better. I haven't had any pain medicine for a week and a half. Maybe that is what caused all the pain.
I've fixed a litle bit of our Mexican Fiesta and it is on the serving station. (Here at home in Louisville, Walt and I will be having grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts for supper. I'll also have a little bit of white shoepeg corn, and mashed taters.
Sarah's on a train, heading towards Cincinnati. She should be home sometime tomorrow, afternoon, early evening I guess.
So, how's everyone doing? All right, I hope.
We are currently at 87 degrees, with partly cloudy weather conditions. Very muggy outside. We could really feel the mugginess this morning, during Produce. We even had a second truck today, one with bread, doughnuts, and danish!
Everyone have a good afternoon, and you all take care.
I've been gone for roughly 3 months, and this site sure looks different, although I am pleased with it.
Welcome back, Ray! Good to see you in here.
Peek....

Wow - quite the makeover. Doesn't appear that it'll be much different to navigate, though.
Easy repairs to a toilet turned into a purchase when I found cracks in the tank. Waiting for the new one to be delivered so I can finish the job. Turns out that the "rough-in" is 10" vs the usual 12", so the toilet had to be special ordered.
Sheesh.
afternoon
wow like the new remodeled forum pages.looks good.so far so good for matt in school.cw tell sarah while shes in cincy to catch a reds game if she can.hope they keep it up.time to get ready for work tonight.
I think I got some paint on a paw...
Our local Center For Active Generations will be hosting a photography contest between the 20th of September and the 5th of October, and I have decided this something I might want to participate in. I am limited to 2 8 x 10" prints, they should be matted and I should have my entry submitted no later than September 13th. And anything I use must have been shot within the last 2 years.
I have plenty of material to work with, and I've got pictures of a CB&Q O5A class 4-8-4 , #5633 at Douglas, Wyoming I can use, but right right now I can't find either the pictures or the negatives.
Evening all.......
Looks pretty nice in here, will take some getting used to, but that's part of life. Dropped off a few houses worth of windows today, reloaded with material for General Mills. Ever wonder what a truckload of those single-serve cereal bowls looks like? I know now......
See everyone later....
Well, finally....we made it. First item I noticed was the small font.
And the larger {wider}, space to put advertising, squeezing the space for forum material.
Seems like waisted space on each side of the monitor screen...????
Guess that's my first impression....Have just been on now for about 5 min.
