Boy do we have "stuff" to fill that space coming from the other side of the museum grounds! CRRM really needs to get busy with the building stretcher.
It's Monday ( ) Railfans, can you say Monday? My that was a dirty hand signal
OK, who took the table and chairs out of the Coffee Shop car?

Good Monday morning everyone. Starting out with temps ranging from the mid 50s to low 60s in our area this morning. Should see everything starting to dry out from all the rain yesterday, and a high today in the upper 70s. So should be pretty good day. Hope everyone had a very good weekend.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar: bacon, sausage links/patties, scrambled eggs (or however you'd like your eggs this morning), and toast.
You all have a good morning, take care, and see you all later.
Just got off the phone with Mom, she had a nice, quiet day.
Did some work on the house - a little paint on the house itself and on a couple of windows I took out so I could work on them. Unfortunately, in the process of trying to take off some old glazing compound so I could redo it, I broke one pane, so it's off to the home improvement store tomorrow.
Might see some rain here Tuesday, which won't be a bad thing.

It looks like the rain is just about out of our area: Tom, guess its headed your direction? Walt just checked our rain gauge a few minutes ago, and we've gotten 2 1/2 inches of rain, since about 8:30, 9:00 last night. At least the rain has been a nice, slow and steady rain. That is what we really need. Kind of wish I could have gone out to the cemetery, to wish my Mama a Happy Mother's Day, but it would have been too wet out there; so I just looked up towards Heaven and wished her a Very Happy Mother's Day, and told her how much I still love her, and how much I miss her.
Mookie, sounds like you've had a really good Mother's Day so far! And hopefully, BNSF cooperated for you, so you would have a good train watching afternoon. Happy Mother's Day, my friend.
The Crock Pot and Slow Cooker have turned over to warm, so everything is now ready for our Sunday Dinner. There is also plenty of chocolate cake (and yellow cake w/chocolate icing) for dessert, with whatever flavor ice cream you wish to have.
Everyone have a good evening and take care.
Received flowers from Daughter/Grandson - not just any florist flowers - an arrangement of silk flowers she made herself. (she is a great artist) This is something I can keep for many years to come and don't have to squash them in a book.
Off to watch some trains - (BNSF, don't fail me now!) and then Driver cooking for supper.
Life is still very, very nice!

good morning
Happy Mother's day to the moms.need to get in gear for Church and Sunday school.back to work tonight.

Peace be with you. 61 and clear in Carolina, headed for 76 and rain later. I am up early/late, trying to contact Yemen and Somalia on the wireless. Those countries have been super rare of late and each has an operation going on. The entire world wants a contact. Lawdy what a mess!
We had the Southern 500 near here yesterday, and the drunk tanks are full of malefactors. One of them is my cousin, who is in the jug drying out, last I heard.
A very happy MOTHERS DAY to each mama on the forum. I lost mine in 1990 and still miss her a lot. Of course, if she were here, most probably she would take a stick to me, or maybe a board.....
Everyone take care and have a great day.

Good Sunday morning everyone, and Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms here on the trains forums!!
Hope all the Moms on here have a Terrific Day with your families, and wishing you all the very best.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the warmer bar this morning:
Pancakes w/your choice of jams, jellies and pancake syrups, bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs.
Have the Crock Pots and Slow Cookers going with Pork Chop Abracadbra and Roast, taters and carrots for our Sunday Dinner. (Since it is raining, at least here in our area, thought that would be a better fit for today, instead of grilling out.)
Everyone have a good morning, take care going to Church, work, rail fanning, visiting Moms, whatever is planned for your day. See you all later this afternoon, sometime.
Cannonball - may you have many more. And thanks for the wishes for Mom.
Found out that one of our firefighters had a birthday today, too. If I'd known that before our FD banquet tonight, we'd have sung "Happy Birthday" to him, much to his chagrin, I'm sure.
It was a good meal and a good time. Totally surprised our Firefighter of the Year recipient, even after I'd dropped several hints, one of which his wife picked up on. He's a worthy recipient with many years of service.
Thank you Bruce and all the good people on here.
And wishing a good day for your special day Cannonball...!
Bruce, I do enjoy trying to keep our property nice and it's not really that big....roughly .65% of an acre. But it connects right to the golf course and together looks so pretty....Especially this time of the year.
Happy Mother's day to all the Mothers.

Hi CW, and everyone else. I will have one of those New England dinners.
68° and sunny now. More of the same for the next few days, with highs getting up to the mid-seventies.
Quentin, I'm glad things are progressing well enough with Jean that you got a chance to get outside, and attend to your yard. It sounds like a lot of work to keep up with, but you certainly seem to enjoy it. Back when my father was still alive, in the spring my parents used to go on about wanting to get out "on the land!" And "the land" was only a 50X125 ft. city lot! Both of them came from rural backgrounds, as you might guess.
Happy Belated Birthday, Cannonball.
My Mom is well enough now that she will be signing the lease on a new home in a seniors centre, on Monday. Then is it up to us to arrange the rest of the logistics to move her from the hospital to her new place. We're thinking it will be later in the following week, due to final pre-admittance paperwork, and moving some furniture from her house to the new place.
I took the time today to check my local RR news sources for the first time in over a month, and I see I didn't miss anything too newsworthy. Everything is in a kind of suspended animation, waiting for the CPR AGM and the Proxy Vote on May 17. It was interesting to see Hatton, SK mentioned on the CP website as the scene of damage from a grass fire back in March. That would be really scary to be near something like that, because Emergency Assistance would be so desperately far away, and the only water they would have to work with is what they could bring in themselves. In the 21st Century, it seems like I am the only one to ever mention Hatton on the web. It was surprising to see someone else do it.
Wishing all mothers a Happy Mother's Day, and everyone take care.

Spent a couple of hours over at St. George's Community Center this afternoon, coloring coffee filters ( to make flowers or butterflies) and spray painting plastic flower pots, getting ready for our Vacation Bible School, which starts June 4, and goes to June 8th. We're meeting twice a week, working to get everything together (Wednesdays and Saturdays). Hopefully, more volunteers will be showing up, to help get everything together! So far, there is only one man showing up to help. We need more than him, for everything we need to do.
Anyhoo, everyone have a good evening, take care, and see you all in the morning.
Happy Birthday Cannonball!! matt and I checked out the new museum in defiance and watched some CSX action here in town.Back to helping out mom.Cw thanks for supper tonight.
Thank you very much all my fine friends on the web. It is nice to be remembered.

Good Saturday morning everyone.
1. Wishing Cannonball a very, very Happy Birthday today!! Cannonball, hope you have a GREAT day, with many Happy Returns.
2. Quentin, hope everything continues improving with Jean. Know she is getting the best possible care, not only from you, but also IU Healthcare.
Today's breakfast/brunch menu is courtesy of Cannonball, per his request:
Omelets with diced ham in the scrambled eggs, with whole wheat toast, hot coffee, along an assortment of fresh fruits and the rest of our usual Saturday morning brunch menu.
And there will also be a Special dinner tonight. (We'll have our pizza fest tomorrow.)
Everyone enjoy your Saturday, have a great day, and take care. See you all later.
Larry; Wehope your MOM will be OK . Anyhow , hope your mom will have a good Mothers Day in spite of her used to be problem. It is nice Sister lives in PHX. so she can look after mom. Getwell prayers for mom coming.
Can't keep up with stuff right now on here...But we are calling this a "3 steps forward" day....Yesterday too.
Have I U Home Health Care a couple times a week now, and that has been a blessing.
Beautiful day here....Low humidity, blue sky and of course sunshine. And just great temps. Just finished mowing, and did a bit of edging with my "Worx Trimer / Edger". I got behind on that work. Darn grass seems like if not attended to, it will grow right out over the driveway edge....Even roots.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Mom's procedure was cancelled until her blood gets a little healthier. Piece and quiet for the weekend.
I think I've got everything ready for the FD banquet tomorrow. One more admin detail to check and I'll be all set.
Still nice outside, if cool. Not quite t-shirt weather, what with a bit of a breeze and all.
Afternoon
great day outside.finished chores inside.waiting for matt to get home so we can go into town.might find some trains in town too.Cw thanks for supper.
Hello everyone. Sorry about not making it in this morning; went back to bed after feeding the cats and giving them fresh water, and didn't wake up until about 9. Decided to take my walk early, before I got into anything else here at home, or getting on the computer. Started out with a sweat jacket on, and it wasn't long before I had to stop and take the jacket off, and ended up carrying it. But I did enjoy the walk.
Mookie, it is a beautiful day. Not much of a breeze here, which is why I had to stop and take off my jacket. Was getting too warm. Temp is supposed to get up to mid to upper 70s this afternoon.
Larry, hope everything goes well with your Mom's outpatient procedure today. Adding her to my prayer list, and have just finished saying a little prayer for her.
Our Friday Fish Fry is now on the warmer bar. All the regular list of fish, and the regular sides and dessert menus.
Everyone have a good afternoon, take care and see you all later.
A beautiful day in the neighborhood - not a cloud in the sky, mild temps.
Got the lawn mowed. Now it's time to head for town to pick up a couple of awards for the FD banquet tomorrow and some certificates from our state senator for the award recipients.
Mom's at the hospital for an outpatient procedure today. She can go home afterwards, but needs some supervision. I was looking at going out (she lives in Phoenix), but couldn't see spending the money when my sister lives right there. The notice was a little short, too. I'll check on her tonight.
Happy Friday Railfans!
It's 42F and cloudy and only expected to reach the low 50's today with chance of rain for a few days now.
Coffee is again on me today...

Sun is up; temp is nice; bird singing on wire outside open window and train whistle in distance.
Life is good!
Well, other doctor visit this morning went okay. Other than the fact that my appointment was for 11 a.m., and I didn't get called back/and seen by the doctor until after 2 p.m. Kind of surprised that my bp was only 111/70. Several new nurses/technicians in the office, and they are all (including doctor himself) getting used to a new computer system. Saw him going up and down the hall with a tall cart with a laptop computer on top. Don't have to go back to him until August, so maybe they'll all be used to the new system by then.
Menu for tonight:
1. grilled chicken
2. beef pot pies
3. sloppy joes w/fries and garden salad
Hope you all have had a good day, have an even nicer evening, take care and see you all in the morning.
