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").
Sleeping too close to the shore will result with crick in neck HEE HEE . A cup of warm cider and some Dutch apple pie will take the chill away. The sudden change in weather from summer to fall is not nice for the body. Breakfast is cooking now . Shirl is making red eye gravy and biscuits with ham slice. Stay warm and dry if you can. Jim
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Jim...........Breakfast...? It's time for lunch here. Just about what Jean and I are about to do....Head over to Ruby Tuesdays.
Quentin
Well, it looks like we've been a little busy in here this morning! I always like to see that!! Mookie, hope you enjoyed your breakfast. Joe, thanks for helping out this morning. I'm surprised we didn't run into each other in the kitchen.
For lunch here in the Cafe, I've heated up the leftover chicken abracadbra, and the spaghetti from last night. Later on this afternoon, I'll start the fish fry for tonight.
Everyone enjoy the afternoon and take care.
The serving station has been cleared and cleaned up from the lunch menu, which looks like no one touched. You will now find our regular Friday Fish Fry menu on the serving station:
Fish: Cod, catfish, haddock, halibut, flounder, jumbo butterfly shrimp, crab cakes and salmon patties
Side Dishes: baked beans, corn, cole slaw, mac & cheese, fries, hush puppies, baked cornbread, deep fried breaded mushrooms
Desserts: Yellow cake w/caramel icing, chocolate cake w/chocolate icing, pecan pie, apple pie, blueberry, cherry and peach cobblers and ice cream
I hope at least two or three people are in this evening to enjoy this. Everyone have a good evening and take care.
Evening all.....
Just a nice day to relax today, just putzed around the house today, I figure tomorrow and Sunday will be busy, planning on the train show tomorrow, Sunday need to work on the truck a bit, change oil and a few bulbs.
Will dig into the fish fry now.......

So, I go on the internets looking for the recipe for pork chop abracadabra, and this is what I find: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&rlz=1R2DKUS_en&&sa=X&ei=ReTdTPKFHcLtngeryoGwDw&sqi=2&ved=0CBIQvgUoAA&q=Pork+Chop+Abracadbra&nfpr=1&fp=68bffe149d85ccd7
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Good Saturday morning everyone. Norris, just ask your wife to see her Rival Crock Pot recipe book! (That is, if she has one that is several years old. I know it isn't in my new Crock Pot's recipe book; but it is in the recipe book from my first Crock Pot that Walt and I got as a wedding gift 23 1/2 years ago.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning:
turkey bacon, pork sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, fried taters, grits, toast, pancakes w/syrup, country fried steak and country fried pork chops. (Don't worry Brian: there's plenty of low/no cholesterol items as well.)
We're starting out at 6:42 with a temp of 48 degrees. Going for a high in the low to mid 70s. Everyone have a great morning, and I'll see you all later this afternoon/evening for our pizza fest.
good morning
Cw thanks for breakfast.Csx was pounding the diamond last night.We saw some new grain hoppers for csx.Also a warbonnet(BNSF 667) took q 324 around the wye to go north to toledo.Matt is going shopping with mom today.I am going to stay home and do some chores.Will be back for pizzza later.
Looks like another sunny day here, and the closest weather appears to be around Chicago. Nice fall days, and it even got almost to 60F here yesterday!
Plenty to do - been working on a new vest for the conductor's uniform and may get it mostly finished today. Don't know that I'll have it ready for duty tomorrow, though, and I'm workin' on the railroad tomorrow. Our version of a dinner train - we'll take you to the restaurant...
Breakfast is out of the way - now on to projects.

Good Satuday, it's morning! Daylight, that is! 46 and clear in Carolina, lt's headed for the high 50's (I think).
It is a good thing I had the heating system changed out, cause we ran out of propane last night. Since we now heat with electricity, it was an inconvenience instead of a catastrophe. The worst was that we have no hot water.
Thanks for breakfast, and everyone have a great day.

.....Tom, you must have had just outpatient work at the hospital as I thought you might have been admitted for a day or two from what you had said.
Regarding your new heating system.....I'm assuming it's a heat pump. Just a comment, we've been with electric heat now for 39 years, and in our home it has worked out just fine for us.
Ours is of the ceiling cable heat system which was very popular when we had this house built. But in that amount of time, the only maintenance expense has been the replacement of thermostats in ea. room.
Heat pumps are in use somewhat in our climate here, but I think it's a bit too far north for them to be a great advantage here. Down in your area, I'd think they would work fine.
Of course the disavantage of our system is no ducts for running A/C thru. So window units are used, and I have that sized, and under control to the point it works quite well. Window A/C's have been available for some time now with remote controll {and much quieter than some years ago}, and make for pretty convenient operation.
As for our weather. it is a nice morning. i was just outside giving the wife a hand in cleaning a couple of windows. Shorts and short sleeve shirt is the morning dress code. Again, clear skies, and sunshine.
I see that big "comma" shaped weather front extending from Texas to the Canadian border, and including some heavy snow heading into the upper mid west {Wis. etc}, but will go over {north} of us. We might see some rain later today, but now....all clear and sunny. To be a bit cooler tomorrow, but sunshine again.
Looking forward to our Muncie "TheStarPress paper" tomorrow, as it's to have an extensive write up of the soon to come "Progressive Rail Inc." manufacturing in our former ABB massive size plant.
If all goes well, that should be a needed boast for our Muncie area. We have lost much of our manufacturing companies in the last few decades, and all the incoming "new" will be refreshing. Brevini Mfg. is, and has been preparing to get it's manufacturing of wind power generating wind mills gearboxes up and started.
The railroad spur has been approved to be built back into it from the nearby Frankfort NS line. it is located a short distance west of Muncie along route 332 / I -69 Industrial Park....Believe it's called "Park One". Just a few miles northwest of me.
Quentin, haven't made it to the hospital yet. Still waiting on tests to come back, and still need xrays Monday. When or if I go in, it will be day surgery with likely one overnight. The urologist gave me some pain med called hydromorphone. Lemme tell ya, that is some primo stuff. Take one of them and things get real smooth, the basic pain is muted a lot and it's good night Irene for a few hours.
Propane man came and emptied my wallet and left. 250 gallons = $838.50. Great gookamooka, I like to have gone into apoplexy, the wife blew up and the girls barked about it. I can't do that too often.
Tom: $838.50!!!! Yeow!!!! Take more meds to get over that one!
Gookamooka
Tom, ditto what Mookie said! Holey Moley, that is a lot of moolah to spend!!
We currently have 68 degrees (what my homepage quotes as current temp), and I see some moisture out on the street, so guess it has been raining for awhile here. I think our temp got up to 70, 71 degrees or so today.
Here is our Saturday Night Pizza Menu for tonight:
1. Anchovie
2. Canadian bacon
3. Cheese
4. Chicago style
5. Goetta
6. Hawaiian
7. Italian sausage
8. Pepperoni/mushroom
9. Supreme
Desserts tonight: chocolate cake w/chocolate icing and peach cobbler w/ice cream.
Hope everyone enjoys, have a good evening, and take care.
cw thanks for the pizza.got alot cleaned up today.worked a little outside and csx sounded busy too.we have had a few sprinkles but we'll take what we can get.going to get stuff ready for church and sunday school tomorrow.
I'm up for some Hawaiian! How has everyone been lately? It's been a little while. Life has been busy on the railroad...
LC
I'll take some of that Hawaiian, too!
Finished up my RR vest (dress) so I can wear it tomorrow. Actually I just remembered that I still have a couple of seams to hand stitch, but that can be done later.
Probably ought to head for bed - lots of hungry riders to get to the restaurant tomorrow.
Tom, I trust that whatever is bothering you can be taken care of quickly and soon.
We heat with natural gas, $250.00 would carry us for about two or three months in the winter; how many months will your $250.00 carry you?
Steve Spurrier and his Gamecocks did well this evening; Mr. Meyer can again say that his boys are not doing well. I do not know when the Gators have done so poorly.
"Tiger! Tiger! Burning Bright!" Roasting chickens? I'm of the opinion that either Tiger team could go to Atlanta; which one depends upon whether or not the Tide is stemmed, again by Tigers, on 26 November.
Yesterday, when I was baking bread, I thought of something I had not thought of in many years--breadboard circuits; do you remember them?

Good Sunday morning, everyone. Cool 41 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Streets are still a little bit wet. Going for a high of about 55 today.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy.
Getting ready to start cooking a turkey *** for our Sunday Dinner, so it'll be ready around 1, 2 p.m. EST. We'll have some stuffing with it, along with various vegetables (not actually doing the whole Thanksgiving menu today; that will come in a couple of weeks.)
Everyone enjoy your morning, keep warm and dry, and take care.
good Sunday morning
Juice coffee and hot chocolate are ready to go.Breakfast warmer bar is filled up too.Step up and help yourselves.Time to get ready for church and then it's off to G+G.Did get some more rain overnight.It will all help out.
I see we are having text wrapping issues still--- This page is going waaaaaay over to the right again--
I am having a day away from the office as they fumigated it last night and me with my allergies do not get along with what they used--hence I'm on call from home today--I usually finish my on-calls on Monday--heeheehee
Today is starting out at 46F going to a high--so called--of 39F by this afternoon--in southwesterly breezes--this oughta be fun--
Anyhooooooo----have a good one peoples!!

....It's overcast and dry here this morning. Weather front passed thru yesterday afternoon thru late last night. See it is over on the western edge of Pennsylvania {home base for us}, now.
Noted 41 degrees earlier this morning here. Predicting 50 for today. Southern wind did a number on me yesterday....Leaves from the golf course {south}, and from neighbors big trees {west}, of me.
So....note, tomorrow is to be sunny and up to 57. For me that will mean John deere and I will work on the yard to mulch leaves and what ever grass is sticking up. It will take overlapping passes, but believe I can get it pretty well back in order.
Several days ahead to be sunny, but Thur. they say: possibly some rain & or snow flakes. Sure don't like that 4 letter word. This weather front that passed yesterday sure did dump on the upper Great Lakes area....especially up and including Minnesota. Seen one figure on weather map this morning of 14"...! {Snow of course}.
So....Church next, than Sunday meal, perhaps to Olive Garden again, and then check the 2nd from last Nascar Sprint Cup boys race today.
Wish a good week for all....and Tom, understand, I had forgot you mentioned of the tests first. So best to you in success on the H. visit.
Well, the turkey *** is ready, and there's already another one going for a little bit later. To go with it: mashed taters & turkey gravy, green bean casserole, broccoli w/cheese sauce and corn. Chocolate cake w/vanilla or chocolate ice cream for dessert.
Hope everyone is having an enjoyable day, and wishing you a very good afternoon. Take care, and see you all later.
Long day. The two hour drive in each direction didn't help any. At least the weather was nice, although I spotted ice on many puddles alongside the tracks even at mid-afternoon. It won't be long before we can't see the puddles for the snow...
I think a bedtime snack is in order (or some of that turkey, as a sleep aid), and then it's bedtime.
Good Monday morning, everyone. Mostly cloudy and 33 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Think we'll top out somewhere in the 50s again today. Then, later tonight, rain is due to come in, and it looks like it is going to a cold rain. Real nice for Tuesday Produce in the morning! (not)
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs or fried eggs, whichever you'd prefer, hashbrowns.
I heard an interesting "Coffee Quiz" question just a few minutes ago: What was Elvis Presley's first movie?" Yes, I know the answer, but I won't give it yet. Anyone of you know?
Mookie, here's a cup of coffee for you. I think our sitting in the rockers, out on the patio or in the garden are over, until mid springtime, don't you?
morning
cw I have a couple blankets if you want to sit in the rockers later this afternoon.thanks for breakfast.bedtime now.Things have really picked up and will be working some ot now through the rest of the year.
joe
CW - Elvis - I think my girlfriend and I went to it - "Love Me Tender"? Think we sighed thru the whole movie and cried at the end! It really was sad!
Joe - 2 blankets here. I won't warm up until next June. Glad to here you will be working steadily. I know this is always a concern.
Movin' mah coffee to the hammock. It is Monday after all.....
Good Morning.
We woke up to frost again--not as much as a few days ago but enough to say--"Hi! How are you? I'm Frost and I'm going to stick arond ntil my friend s**w shows up"
Audrey saw that one too--she thinks that has to be his first one--me--never watched any of his things--I was more of an Annette Funicello guy---
I spent most of my afternoon yesterday trying to find a simple screwdriver--it was not where I thought it would be--in a toolbox--but I did find it--in a drawer by the bed Why I put it there I will never know
Anyways--I'm going to get a few things done today that needed done ---yesterday--have a good one people!
