morning
still muggy outside this morning.Saw on the news the Toledo speedway had some fireworks this past weekend at the track. Fire department found the news clip interesting too.Breakfast is all set.
Schedule got turned upside down to accommodate the highway department. (Can't block traffic in the day) - You'd think they never saw a survey crew work in the dark. (Learned a few 4-letter words from some frustrated bumpkins) - Joseph, I don't know how you do it.
Really annoying when somebody decides to get on your side of the cones that was not invited.
Lounge doesn't serve anything--strictly bring your own...please!SJ, I'm betting on Dry Distiller Grains in those covered cars, based on the numbers.

Been gone all day. Boy do I have a "blob" to write!
Went fishing - lake up and over the sidewalk that runs around the lake that runners run.....on. Part of boat dock on south side now on east side snugged up next to the darn. Fish must have drowned since no bites except for a turtle that has no taste (plastic worm)
Then went to watch site so Driver could get in a nap. All sorts of items: UP engine (2nd motor) on freight. NS engine (2nd motor) on freight. (NS was doing mosquito abatement. Lots of white smoke!) Saw a scale car. 2 BN SD60 whiteface - freight. Saw tarped gons - thinking dirty dirt? Joe? Heading your way - so peek and see what it is and let me know. And Tonka toys in and out of the excavation yard across the tracks!
Then had to do some shopping south of town and saw BNSF MOW doing crossing signal work on Kyle Line. This won't mean anything except possibly to Mudchicken. He and I have a long history of me keeping track of what is going on with the Kyle Line. So far, nothing - which is easy to keep tabs on. All from here - must write Brother Carl and ask a few, pertinent questions about car #s.
Tree - saw your doppelganger at Earl May's - buying plants or getting potted - not sure which. Wasn't dressed as spiffy as your conductor pictures!
Blob finished and me, too!
afternoon
muggy outside. chores and errands done. Have my supper container for tonight.
Bonas I want bacon on my sausage in a meat bun with a Old Milwaukee to wash it down.

Good Morning

! How nice! Did have some very high winds - S & W a tad from us, but nothing @ the homestead. Just wonderful

Off to drown some plastic bait...it works - but I don't know how! (silly bass!)
Mookie "We" were wondering if you were going to do a "ski" trip....

Been there, done that. Took me 10 minutes to clear the snow out of one switch.
Big Moose hill would be fun in the snow - five miles of 1.1+% grade. It's enough fun on dry rail.
Took our brush truck up to the small parade in the next town. It was nothing like the Memorial Day parades of my youth in Michigan - floats, bands, vet's organizations, kids with crepe in the spokes of their bikes, you name it.
Probably mow this afternoon - looks like Joe may be sending us some wetness. At least maybe it'll be warm...
getting ready to go to our local Memorial Day parade. Have some rain coming our way according to the guessers. Breakfast is ready.back to work tonight.
Should have called it an AREMA meeting - you would have had lots of help!

Grrrrr + Brrrrrr = Is this weekend over yet?
After the festivities Saturday celebrating our first official trip to Big Moose, we started our regular season today, with a bang, literally. As we were about to depart Thendara with the first Big Moose Brunch Train of the season, our HEP genset died a painful death, leaving the passengers in kinda-warm cars with outside temps in the mid-30's.
They enjoyed their brunch and the ride, though.
The afternoon trip was a little better, only because the sun started to peek out and the temps were rising at least a little.
Did enjoy my longest run as an engineer so far - all the way from Thendara to Utica, about 50 miles. Did pretty good, although having the supervisor of locomotive engineers looking over one's shoulder can be a bit nerve-wracking....
For now, I'm pooped. My waterbed sounds more and more inviting all the time.
Good Sunday to everyone. Everyone doing okay here in Shepherdsville, as far as I know. Paul & I spent time at the hospital yesterday. His daughter lost the baby she was carrying. She was in for a while yesterday for a D&C, then went home, around 2:30 yesterday afternoon. As far as I know, she's doing o.k. Saw where she just called, and her Daddy answered in the garage.
Got frost last night so we are now getting to see how the plantings went here...hopefully they were not zapped..
Actually getting train time today..had to postpone yesterdays planned operating session...also seeing Gordon today as well...operation for him went well....
busy day.watched csx in Garrett yard.Busy busy place today.Have some work to do here at home.

Good Morning from a very soggy San Antonio.
Rain yesterday and today here has resulted in flash flood warnings.
We are, however, grateful for every drop of rain we can get here.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday!
Sunny with a high of 55F here...we did end up with frost here...got down to 28F this morning....
Going back up to the hospital to spend some time with Gordon....he goes to the OR later today....oi.
Anyhow....have a decent, if somewhat cool, day....brekky cart ready!!
No snow here....but they are calling for frost in low lying areas here.....sigh
Speaking of which...we just got back from hospital tonight...friend of mine in because of an accident...internal injuries as well as 2 smashed knees...sigh....would like prayers....

A week ago, the forecast was calling for sunny skies with mild temperatures for this weekend.
Now there is the possibility of snow. Temps are already approaching freezing for the night.
Would have been nice to have a decent day for our first official trip to Big Moose. Went on a qualification trip yesterday, so I'm legal on the hill (1.1% for five miles...).
rvos1979Mookie: I think there is a faulty thermostat somewhere.....Sitting in the South Somerset service plaza, have to go to Bedford, PA, in the morning. From there, it's anyone's guess, traffic should be interesting this weekend.
Randy:
Worked at that Plaza 56 years ago for a short time....so know just where you are. And, as you must certainly know, it's good the 2nd Allegheny Tunnel is in place now, as over a holiday before it was, could have held you up {traffic}, for some time in getting to Bedford....Happy Motoring.

happy friday.need to run errands in town.breakfast is all set.Take time to remember those that paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy today.
John WR Johnny, My box of rolled oats says that a serving, 1/2 cup of the cereal dry, has 4 grams of fiber. My wife's box of Cream of Wheat says that a serving, 3 tablespoons of the cereal dry, contains 1 gram of fiber. Of course a similar cerial with whole weat would have more fiber. John

Having eaten grits quite often when I was growing up, I still enjoy it from time to time, but since it has so little fiber it is not a regular item in my diet. And, rolled oats do things to me I do not appreciate.

There is not much fiber in corn--unless you eat the shucks or the cob--and you don't want to find either in grits. There's much more fiber in wheat than in oats.
