Our Win-Win, at first, did not mind going to the vet. But the past year, when it came time for her to go to the vet, she didn't like it. She'd pull on her leash, to NOT get into the Jeep to go.
Here is our Saturday Night Pizza Fest menu:
1. Canadian bacon
2. Cheese
3. Chicago style
4. Goetta
5. Hawaiian
6. Italian sausage
7. Pepperoni/mushroom
8. Supreme
And for dessert: peach cobbler w/ice cream.
Hope everyone has had a very enjoyable day, and hope you all have a good evening, and take care.
Good evening all. 91 in Carolina approaching sundown.
Still no rain, and parts of NC just across the line have a red flag alert and no burning directives in force, I didn't realize how much of a deficit in rain we have this year. Not good at all.
I still am under the weather and spend more time in bed than out of it. I will be glad when I am over the mulligrubbs and can get back to livng again.

Good morning, it's Sunday. 72 and partly cloudy in Carolina. It is still very dry, but we may get something wet later today.
I see on the railcam that Roanoke is getting a soaking. That looks so inviting....
The breakfast bar and fountain are open. Help yourselves.
We had rain ALL day Saturday. My lawn kinda looks like a hayfield. We are off to Wisconsin for R&R right after church today. I have not heard of any road closures along our route. Our canoeing river rose 10 feet on Thursday but has since flushed out.
Thanks for fixing breakfast for the rest of us, Tom. It's much appreciated.
I've been up for half an hour and here in Sioux Falls we have 47 degrees and extremely heavy fog. I looked outside and the visibility is no more than 1 block. Yesterday the eastern half of the county that I live in was closed to extreme flooding, and a NO TRAVEL ADVISORY had been issued. For the most part, the area where I live is O.K.
Good Sunday morning everyone. Tom, thanks for taking care of breakfast. I was up around 5 a.m., but fell back asleep around 6:30; didn't wake up again until about a half hour ago.
Tom, hope you get to feeling better soon! It is no fun at all, to be feeling under the weather.
Ray, glad to see you dropped by this morning.
Walt is still asleep, and I have no idea what time Sarah got called out, and left. Just know that she was gone when I woke up at 5. Guess we'll hear from her sometime later this evening.
Everyone have a good day, and see you all later.

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").
.....Yes a cooler day here too.....52 was indicated earlier this morning.
Partly sunny now, and it looks like the high today will just be 63 to 65 according to the weather channel. Still no rain here....Dry, dry, still.
Easy to keep vehicles rather clean, but not so good on yards, etc.
Must head out to church in about 5, so will be checking in later today. Have a Dover, Del. run of Nascar to check out too after we get back from our planned visit to Texas Road House after church.
A good Sunday to all. Must give our appropriate thanks for many blessings this morning.
No colored leaves here yet....Just some dry ones blowing around from the drought. Home area of Pennsylvania is showing some already. More elevation there in our home area. Over a 1000 ft. higher than we are here, makes a difference.
Quentin
Quentin, that's about the way the leaves look around here: none turning colors, except the the brown ones that have died in the heat this summer.
Our Sunday Dinner menu:
1. roast, taters and carrots w/green beans, and mashed taters w/beef gravy
2. country fried steak w/baked potatoes, broccoli, and garden salad
3. country fried chicken w/green beans, mashed taters w/milk gravy
Everyone enjoy, have a good afternoon, take care and see you all later.

Enjoy a brief ride on the leading end of an Adirondack Scenic RR trip through the fall colors.
The video was shot on the push move portion of our trips to Carter Station. I wasn't on crew that day - I'd taken Mom for the ride.

DeggestyLarry, I tried to enjoy it, too--and was told, in essence, that if I do not have access to Facebook (which I do not), I just as well take a walk elsewhere, for I was not to be let on board. Is it possible for a poor, less social peon to see what you sent--and then forward it to his wife so she also can enjoy the trip?

Good Monday morning. Joe, thanks for coming in and taking care of breakfast! I think you had just went out the diner door, as I was getting ready to come through it!
It is chilly here in Louisville this morning (56 degrees), compared to what it has been. Feels nice, too. So far, we haven't received any rain drops. But they should be heading our way. Chances of rain off and on for most of the day. High should be around 76 degrees.
Larry, I really enjoyed looking at your video!! Our leaves around here, haven't really started turning all the different colors yet.
Everyone have a good morning, and Mookie, hope you start to feel better soon! I'm feeling all right, just woke up with a slightly scratchy throat this morning. Take care, you all, and see you later.
Yawn...
(1) "Thomas" now over with for another year at CRRM in Golden. Sir Topp'em Hat now off to other places. The volunteers can all now catch their breath and hopefully the museum gets some help with its operating budget.
(2) Union Pacific is swarming all over its old Kansas Pacific Salina Sub with tie gangs, steel gangs, a bridge gang and surfacing gangs between Cheyenne Wells and Salina in eastern CO.
(3) Learned again why mudchickens and other surveyors consider fence contractors to be the enemy. Gonna have a long week fixing the damage left behind by one such fence contractor that I hope the highway department sends the bill to.
(4) 90 in Denver yesterday, no rain in sight and we have a nutcase setting fires in northern Colorado. The forest fires get the main attention, but the range fires gobble up the acreage.
(5) Uncle Pete's steam kettle (8444) pulling the circus train from Cheyenne to Denver tomorrow - should get some significant press and I imagine CopCar will be out trying to catch it. (I will forever have the image of the elephant snagging the switchman's straw hat on the passenger platform in La Junta in the mid 1980's)
(6) Missed DiningCar passing thru with the private varnish last week (I had to work), one of my co-workers caught the move on film. Looked interesting with Amtrak power in some unusual places.
That much gang activity should be investigated. Finding something warm to consume and then moving on. That it all.

Yes, the "youtube" version does work...No problem.
Questions: What created the center line down the length of the track...?
And....The appearance of the track seems to belie the ride quality from the camera position in the coach. Quite a bit of side to side movement and flange squeal....Just an observation.
.....Everything is green here yet, except the leaves, etc., that dried up from the drought.
And....This has been our coolest morning of the late Summer, early Fall temps. Earlier: 48
Light clouds and breaking thru sunshine....Temps up in mid 50's now. Still no rain here....and we see flooding in the upper mid west...What a contrast.
ModelcarQuestions: What created the center line down the length of the track...?
Trust me - that track is far from optimum. We're limited to 15 MPH on it. There are some ties that are about two degrees removed from sawdust, and the roadbed itself needs a good overhaul. While NYC once ran upwards of 50-60 MPH on the line, we're far removed from that day. Even the work that was done in 1979-80 didn't do much to preserve the line.
In fact, 15 MPH isn't a good speed - the cars tend to get into a rythm and the swaying gets even worse. It doesn't help that the car length and the rail length are almost in synch.
We'd love to get that stretch up to 25 or more, but that'll take some money we don't have right now.
I've heated up leftovers from Saturday and Sunday:
1. Pizzas from Saturday's pizza fest
2. Roast, taters, carrots, green beans, broccoli and mashed taters w/beef gravy
3. Had a little bit of chicken that I didn't fry yesterday, so I've fried that, and there's some mashed taters w/your choice of beef gravy or milk gravy, along with some fresh from the oven buttermilk biscuits (made from scratch) to go along with it.
They are now saying that our high today will only get to the low 70s. And it is quite breezy outside. Walt and I have both been out this morning: definitely a day for long pants and long sleeved shirts and jackets. No rain yet, here. Must have passed over us, at least this morning. Sun is shining brightly on the "Old Kentucky Home".
Cw leftovers sound great for supper tonight.We have rain now here in nw ohio.Going to see what Matt has for homework.MC it's been a few years but someone put a fence on the wrong side of the property line.It was a very expensive fix.

MC - I'd be willing to bet that the track in the video hasn't seen a ballast regulator since at least the 70's. Same for a Jordan Spreader. There's an outside chance one or the other paid a visit during the Olympics operation in 1979-80, but I doubt it.
Most physical damage to the ties these days comes from snowmobiles - it's not uncommon to see a spot (usually at a switch) when they got hung up if there wasn't enough snow to completely cover the rails and spun their track, putting some digs in the ties.
That's lube oil on the ties, as already noted. Wish it wasn't, but it is. We're in the market for some newer locomotives, but the budget is really limited for such purchases.
