Mookie, know what you mean about the plumbing. In both our bathroom, and the half bath, the 'throne' is in a corner. Not much space for one person to work in, let alone two or three! Full bath is a full size room, but still not enough space for two or more people to be working on the throne at one time.
Joe - it was hot and humid yesterday, but toward evening, it was much more bearable. Think the days are changing rapidly - highs not as high and a little more bearable as the sun starts to go down.
We are waving goodbye to company after lunch and then I have put in a request to go trackside later in afternoon. May not stay long - will depend on breeze or not. And trains.
I need to do a little plumbing in the back of the throne. This involves my inspection and getting finners wet, telling the Driver to look at it and getting his finners wet, then calling the landlord to call his son and then they bring out a new cap for the well so it will quit leaking. Since we all can't fit in our closet-sized bathroom, I don't know if there are any more wet finners.

Good Friday morning everyone. A little bit warmer this morning, with a temp of 72, going for a high of 95 today. Guess it's to be expected,as the fair is in town, and the kids are back in school. Are there many school districts left, that actually don't go back to school until after Labor Day?!?!
Tom, thanks for taking care of breakfast this morning. I really appreciate the help I get around here from some you! I think I'm going to have to go shopping for a new clock radio. Seems the alarm has decided to quit working on the one that is in our bedroom. That could be a very bad thing for me, especially on Tuesday mornings. I (and the other two members of this household) would not like to be awakened by the people coming on Tuesdays for Produce, and ringing the doorbell!
Hope you all have a very good morning, and take care.
Good morning. 75 at sunrise in Carolina, headed for 94later. Can't really tell, but it seems to be clear at present. We had a night of thunder and light rain that went on for some time. It was interesting at least.
Breakfast is served on the buffet bar and help yourself to the non-alcoholic drinks of your choice at the dispenser.
Have a great day
Tom

So...would half a dozen residents of the aforementioned municipality sitting together qualify for having 'six pack Abs'?

If you see normal, please direct it to my location. (The "Normal" in Illinois is too close to Bloomington which causes it to be Ab-Normal.)
Do we have a "normal normal" any more?
MookieNormal has to be coming soon.
We at last received a good rain (accompanied by thunder and lightning) today. I am not sure, but I think that this rainfal was reported at the official Salt Lake City station: two and a half months' worth of rain in an hour and a half! If this was widespread around the valley (and up the slopes), our water year was improved greatly--northern Utah's water year has been short of the average.

CW - I am always here, even when I am not here.....
That explains the dirty dishes in the sink.....
Been a little busy with relatives today and tomorrow.
Normal has to be coming soon.
Moo....
And a good day on the railroad today. A bunch of mountain bikes (a market we've been actively pursuing) and decent crowds on the other trains as well. Not to mention a good crew. Gotta get up early in the AM so I can wash some windows (the passengers appreciate being able to see out, and the outsides get really grungy sometimes).
Later!

Afternoon all. Sorry about my laxness in being in here lately. I just get kind of bummed out this time of year, when hardly anyone is in here. Walt and took the glass out of the security door yesterday afternoon, and washed them and the security door, then I went back over the glass with window cleaner, for a no drip/no streak shine. Now, next cool down, need to take care of some of the other windows. Or maybe I'll just get our jet steam attachment out, and put it, along with some cleaner, on the hose, and do them that way, at least the outside of them!
For the late lunch crowd and supper tonight, here's what I've come up with:
1. Pork roast w/potatoes, carrots, onion, broccoli w/cheese sauce (I did have a little bit of pork roast the other night, but have left the rest of it for Walt.)
2. For those w/cholesterol problems, we have grilled chicken or steak, w/your choice of broccoli w/or w/out cheese sauce, baked potatoes, sliced carrots
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep cool and take care.
It's straight up here. We did get up to Snowbird yesterday for lunch and supper. Ricki's daughter Ginny and a friend of hers had gone up Tuesday and left some bacon so we had bacon and tomato (with mayonnaise (for me) and Miracle Whip (for Ricki) sandwiches for lunch, and ate supper in an Italian restaurant. It rained while we were eating supper, but it had stopped by the time we left.
Good afternoon. Rahther quiet in heah dontcha think? 84 and sunny in Carolina. We had a heavy rain with some thunder last night that refreshed things. There was slightly over an inch in an hour at the jetport, but I think we had more.
Nothing further on the railcar arrest. He had been arrested a while back for littering, so it is doubtful he works for the railroad.If anything further develops, I will advise.
Take care and stay cool
......A very nice morning to start our day......Headed for the barber shop. He doesn't have much to do, but it's necessary.
No trimming shrubs right away this morning, as they {from humidity}, are really wet. Sunshine, and the air smells so fresh coming in our windows.
Quentin
morning
a little warmer today.after a nap matt and I get to play post office.Tonight will be friday.Cw thanks for breakfast.
Good Thursday morning everyone. Nice outside this morning, with a very nice breeze. Currently 71 degrees, going for a high of 93 today, with a little more humidity, but not supposed to be too muggy. Guess we'll see.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are freshly made and ready to go. Mookie, here's your coffee mug, ready for you. On the serving station this morning: oatmeal, toast, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits and gravy.
Mudchicken, glad to see you made it in here last evening!
Well, people are starting to pour into the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, preparing for Opening Day. The governor and other bigwigs will be arriving soon for the annual Opening Day breakfast. Wonder if they'll be arriving by train. Too bad Sarah's not working this morning, as if they are, guess she would see the train out at the yard. Yesterday was her off day, and she hasn't received a call yet this morning.
On the situation with the kids getting home from school on time Tuesday afternoon: two principals have been put on paid leave, because they didn't check to make sure that the kiddos had their ID lanyards properly filled out, with their bus information. Good news is that all the kiddos made it home safely and on time yesterday.
Everyone have a good morning, keep cool, with the temps heating back up, and take care.
There was an interesting entry on the police blotter today, It seems that a man, with a general delivery address, was arrested for blocking a roadway with a railcar. I wonder if it was an engineer who didn't have his DL with him. Absolutely nothing further anywhere to clarify the issue.
.....All US Combat Troops are out of Iraq now....Convoy traveled to Kuwait {During the night, Iraq time}.....MSNBC had TV {live}, right in the convoy. Finally.....!!

A chicken will always bring me to the fore....
I am going to hazard a guess that Lurch has air and that it was on when he upchucked. Major cold shower! Now the Diner has its own air-chilled chicken!
D-lited to see you are still out there!
Wunder if Zuggy ever has had the joy of a long run where the bulk of the ice has melted, the cartons/bottles are floating inside the cooler and then the slack runs-in (cold shower ensues)...
Survey wagon (currently known as "Lurch") with cooler riding the jump seat behind the driver has done that more than once this summer whilst off-roading. (no soap or bath towels available - darn!) ...kinda interior dust control....
Hi
Mother nature sent a few sprinkles over this morning after work.Going to warm up again for the weekend with possible rain for saturday.Cw thanks for supper.time to get stuff for work.

Last year we had a new UNIFIED School District. We had several little kids wind up back at the bus barn. Seems like they were not sure where they should transfer to another bus. The mommies had some mighty high powered words with the super about that. Tomorrow should be smoother for the first day than it was last year.
grampaw pettiboneI think your response to Shaquan Duley is probably like most others, which is hang her from the nearest lamp post.
Tom, actually, I was thinking they should do to her, what she did to her children. Then she could see how it feels to be treated that way, herself!!
For at least our lunch menu, we have:
1. Tuna salad sandwiches (you can 'make' your own, using bread, pita bread, or floured tortillas)
2. Sloppy joes
Both served with your choice of fries or tater chips, garden salad , and, if you like pickles on your sandwiches, we have sweet, bread & butter, and dill.
Our current temp, is 82 degrees. How lovely. But, with the start of our State Fair tomorrow, the temps will return to the low 90s. At least the humidity is to still be low!
Everyone have a very good afternoon, and take care.
Modelcar grampaw pettiboneIt never ceases to amaze me how many times I proofread a post and then, a coupla hours later, find a multitude of errors. Tom, I find I do the same thing....Just now noted I had transposed two letters in a word of an earlier post today. So I go back and correct them.

A sunny morning.....and white puffy clouds. Mod. temps now...Hope humidity doesn't show it's presence as it has been....But I feel some in the morning air.
Perhaps, I can trim some shrubs before it's too warm. Believe this will be a yard mowing day too.
Good morning. 82 and sunny in Carolina with a prophecied high of 94 (I think). The storms last night fizzled before they got here, but more today. We seem to have a front stalled over us according to the boffins.All told, it shouldn't be such a bad day.
Paula, thanks for breakfast. I think your response to Shaquan Duley is probably like most others, which is hang her from the nearest lamp post. 16 years ago, we had Susan Smith and now this. At least this time, they were not drowned, as if that is a consolation.....
First day of school here was Monday. Apparently things went well, but with all of the hullabaloo over other events, it could have been overlooked
All for now. Everyone have a great day and go in peace.
Good Wednesday morning everyone. We have a pleasant, 75, 76 degrees at 6:23 a.m., going for a high of around 86 for today. 20% chance of showers, mostly to the south, southeast of Louisville for today. So another really nice day around here.
Tom and Quentin, we've heard plenty about Blago and the woman putting her car in the water with her two children strapped in the backseat. Don't get me started on what I think should be done to/with her.
On the local side of our news, we have some pretty steamed parents over how long it took for their little children to get home from school yesterday. Things did not go as smoothly as it did getting them to school yesterday morning. Little ones waited on a bus in the bus compound for upwards to two hours, for their final bus to come take them home. Some kids didn't get home until after 6 p.m., while others didn't get home until after 9 p.m. last night. One mother a reporter talked with, said her little 5 yr. old boy was exhausted and scared to death. Another mother said her little one does not want to go back to school today. Sure do hope they get things straightened out today or tomorrow.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Regular breakfast menu items are on the serving station.
Everyone have a good morning, and take care.
