Quentin; prayers still coming from here in the mountains to you and Jean. Very glad she is doing so much better. You rest easier now, we don't need you in there for the same reason.
Respectfully , Cannonball & Shirley

Madam LaMook giving up chocolate cake?!?! For a good cause, though!
Tree was on TV Tuesday night:
Normally you'll find me behind the camera, but the railroad underwrote that evening of the PBS auction, so I got dolled up and spent time in front of it, instead. They kept me busy, selling two of the four regular boards throughout my shift.

Quentin, glad to hear that Jean is still improving. She'll be back home before you know it.
Here at home, Walt had leftover Chinese and I had fried taters and a couple of fried eggs. Used olive oil, so that a little bit better than vegetable oil. Otherwise, here in the Cafe, there is:
1. Leftover sloppy joes w/fresh salad and fries or chips
2. Beef pasta w/salad and broccoli
Weather has been fabulous this afternoon: we got up to 83 degrees today. But we had a very nice breeze blowing, which kept it comfortable. Now, we'll see if the breeze was die down a little bit, so they can inflate the baloons tonight for the Derby Festival Balloon Glow around 9 p.m.
Everyone have a good evening, hope you've had a very good day, take care and see you all later.

Morning paper yesterday showed we had a N S engine burn to the point it will be good for running gear below the frame only.
I didn't get to see it but did see photo.
Train was able to go on after the fire was knocked down....Really don't have any more details. {Spending so much time in Hospital now}. Paper article did state of 2 million dollars to replace....Train had total of 3 engines.
.....Thanks my good friends.
Day 4 under way on recovery. Better today. She's doing things she did not do yesterday.
Hope now is to have her able to walk enough to bring it all together and prevent Pneumonia....Keep lungs clear.
Dr's. figures on blood count / etc....very pleased.
Mookie Maybe someone will fill us in on the Atlas RR?
Maybe someone will fill us in on the Atlas RR?
Lots of speculation going as to "other" reasons but here is the official statement they posted...
Atlas Model Railroad Co. Inc. announced today that it will discontinue its model railroad forums, www.atlasrr.com/forums, effective Tuesday, May 1st. In making the announcement Atlas CEO, Tom Haedrich explained the decision behind the shut down as, “a result of the ever-increasing amount of time and other valuable resources expended to monitor and administer the forums. Besides the monthly costs of bandwidth, software and service providers, Atlas dedicates a significant amount of precious R&D staff time responding both on and offline to forum based issues and problems. It’s time that Atlas reestablished these limited resources, in particular valued R&D employee time, toward increased efforts at developing new and innovative model railroad products ”, Haedrich said.Atlas began its forum pages approximately 15 years ago. The archive section of the forums will remain available to users for the near future. Atlas will remain active on social media sites including: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Staggered back into Denver at 10PM last light....The net was empty because I had to go only partly through Nebrasky and then go south. Wound up dodging flying monkeys all the way home instead.
Spent a couple hours with Limited Clear on Tuesday afternoon in Indiana on INRD's business car train, he be one busy fella.
Gotta go back and excavate the paper pile and find my desk.
SBL: CW welcomes all to the diner - new and old. She is always very good tabout recognizing anyone that comes in to chat.
Most people don't come in here long because we aren't very exciting, but that is what makes us so long lasting. We aren't tense or intense. We just sit in rocking chairs and visit.
But if someone new comes in and wants to visit, we are all more than accomodating.
Good Morning Railfans!
It's 54F with a bit of clouds today and we should stay out of the 80's today which is nice. I saw yesterday that Atlas RR is shutting down their forums for good so we might be seeing new members here in the coming days / weeks; please help me Welcome them. If you have friends from there please given them a shout and have them come over here...
Still keeping Jean in my thoughts hoping for a Full/Quick recovery!!!!!!!
91 to 72 today. I wish the weather would settle down so I can put on summer sheets and go to summer clothes instead of sweater/no sweater/jacket/fan/.... then we could at least turn on the air!
Q - keep posting. Sounds like Jean is making progress!
Checking to see if Sir C made it home ok. Net was empty this morning.
Lady bird still has 5 eggs, but think there might be a hatching around May 1. Dad even takes a turn or two at the "sitting".
Egyptian geese at Snell Loop have hatched 3 cuties. Ducks are still nesting and rabbits are still doing their sprints. Saw a deer stroll thru the background awhile back. And a heron/egret fishes thru occasionally.
Netherlands train crossing still gets close scrutiny, but they do it visually a lot. They run some kind of track checker/gauge engine usually during the nite. Fun to watch the other side of the world.
Grocery (Ugh) day. Most hated day of the week!
Good morning all...........4th day of recovery. Hoping and Praying for a good improvement like yesterday.
Good Thursday morning everyone. Well, the rain and storms seem to be gone from our area. They came in between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. I'm not sure how bad/strong they were, as I slept through them. When I went down sometime after 11 p.m., I was out like a light, and didn't know anything until after 6 this morning.
Coffee, orange juice and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar, along with some cold pizza, if anyone wants some for their breakfast.
Quentin, glad to hear that Jean is continuing to improve. I've always heard that the 3rd day after surgery is a patient's worse day, but glad it was a good day for Jean.
Everyone enjoy your morning, take care, and see you all later this afternoon.
.....Paula thanks......Prayers for Johnny too.
Jean has had a much better day 3 recovery.....We're Praying for another good improvement for day 4.

work is caught up for now.saw a detroit edison coal train in the siding when I left from work.going to catch up on things here at home now.rain on the way.Modelcar and Johnny we are keeping you in our prayers.Cw thanks for supper tonight.
Yep, we broke the Record High yesterday and we might see today's record fall as well. After that things look to be cooling off a bit as we head into the weekend.
Positive thoughts to all in need...
.....Day 3, we Pray for improvement. Thank you all, the good friends on this forum for your thoughts and Prayers.
And especially Prayers for Johnny......
Just received word {last 5 min.}, of a life long friend died back in Pa.
We must work thru this. Spoke to his wife in the past 20 min....Jane Metzgar....please, a little Prayer for surviving Wife....Thanks.
Good Wednesday morning everyone. 51 degrees here in Louisville this morning, at 5:52, going for a high of 75 around 4 p.m., when the rain is supposed to be on its way into the area. And it looks like we'll be having periods of rain/tshowers for the next week.
Did manage to get a little bit more done on the file cards over at our Dare to Care office yesterday. Took a lot longer, trying to get anything done, due to clients coming in for their food boxes, and new clients coming in for emergency food boxes.
Produce did go well yesterday morning. Truck showed up right at 8:20, when our head lady pulled up to the Center. Pretty good timing. On the truck yesterday: milk, eggs, cabbage, little packs of mini carrots w/dip, potatoes, onions. The egg cartons were the 18 count size. Not everyone got eggs or potatoes, because they only had 50 something for us, and we had 74 people yesterday. As a matter of fact, we ran out of everything they brought us.
Coffee, juice and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar.
Everyone have a very good morning, take care, and see you all later.
And Quentin, glad to hear that Jean is continuing to improve.
Recovery can be a bear, and all the more so as we advance in age.
Not sure if I related an incident here a few days ago. A young Amish girl was apparently driving a farm implement (behind horses) and fell off. We don't know for sure, but we think she was run over by one of the steel wheels. Latest word is that she isn't doing well - much internal damage.
Called out for an illegal burn this morning. Precipitation was graupel. It's not hail, but it still hurts a little. Hopefully the property owner will get a ticket from the conservation people for burning tires.
Been working at the PBS spring auction for the past few nights. Usually I run a camera. Tonight I was in front of it...
Thank you all for your kind words in regard to my Ricki's homegoing. There are many memories (all good) of our life together.
Quentin, I am sorry to hear that Jean is having problems today; may tomorrow indeed be better.
Johnny
....2nd day of recovery was a struggle...Medical info pretty good. Hope for improvement up the scale on day 3.
Thanks to all for your Prayers.
very breezy again today.Busy busy at work.Went to work and found that NS came and got it's horse out of the siding.I was able to notice they had 2 bnsf noranges in a siding up town while going to work as well.Time to get some chores done then back to work.Cw thanks for supper.
It's 58F and clear heading for a record breaking 88F by this afternoon (YUK!!!!!!!) but at least the forecast has things cooling back down with potential rain by the weekend. Back to "w%$K"...
...Thanks, Paula & Jen....and all respondents. Breathing tube removed last night, and she is responding to questions. I'm on my way in a few here, as they said the early mornings are their busiest.
Updates later....
Good Tuesday morning everyone. At 5:48 a.m., we have temps in the low to mid 40s in our area, upper 30s to the north of us, in sections of Southern Indiana. Supposed to make it up to about 65 or so this afternoon.
Quentin very happy to hear that Jean made it through surgery, and is receiving such great care! I know it eases your mind.
Not sure what time I'll be back in this afternoon. After I get through with Produce and the Bread/Pastry trucks, I'm staying over at the Center, to do more work on the re-alphabetizing of the card file.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is also ready and on the warmer bar.
Everyone have a terrific morning, take care and see you all sometime later this afternoon/early evening.
