CW let us take care of the cooking today and go out on the porch and watch some trains.
I will make some spagetti with sauce and meatballs, english muffin bread, a big rhubarb cake and cherry pie for lunch.
If you want anything else just ask and I will hop in the kitchen and make it. You are the one who keeps this thread running and I want you to know how much we all appreciate it.
Have a wonderfull day CW.

Eek - not sure I can handle spaghetti after all the pizza I've had this week, but I'll take a small helping anyhow.
Great celebration here - Happy Birthday CW, and once again congrats to Sarah on her accomplishment.
Got through track worker safety and NORAC rules today. Air brakes tomorrow and I'll be a "qualified" "employee." Looks like another busy season on the railroad. I skipped the engineers class this year - I've got enough I can work on and toward. Next year we'll work on getting into the cab. I know I'll be spending some time there as "fireman" when we're running long-hood forward, but the right-hand seatbox can wait.

Thanks
Exciting evening here. Lots of thunderstorms - some with very intense lightning. After one particularly close strike the power went out for a few minutes, but then it came back on. Tornadoes only about 20 miles east of us. More storms, some tornadic - are moving north out of Kansas, so it looks like a noisy night is on the way. More severe weather and heavy rain will be possible tomorrow and tomorrow night and even into Monday, too.
CW - Hope you had a great birthday!

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").
Our total rainfall from last night was 5.52 inches! Other locations across Omaha and across the rest of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa measured similar amounts. There are flood and flash flood warnings all over the place. Up to three more inches are possible from late this afternoon through tomorrow morning.
Such excitement!
dan you might want to send it to Brian in iowa.we are going to have east winds at 20-30 today but sunshine.

Good Sunday morning everyone.
Well, looks like I finally got to log in, so I could say:
Thank you, everyone, for your very kind birthday wishes to me!!
Your kind words touched me very deeply. It's really nice to know I've got all the good friends on here, that I do have, and you know what: you're not just friends, you're all members of my family!!
For Sunday Dinner, how about a cook-out?? I've got the grill going, and the following is just getting put on the grill: burgers, brats, hot dogs, pork chops, steak, baked potatoes, corn on the cob. Other side dishes on the breakfast/warmer bar: baked beans, green beans, broccoli casserole, and cold dishes of potato salad, fruit salad, and cole slaw are also available, in the cooler. So, come fill up your plates, and go sit on the patio, and watch the trains go by the Diner.
Joe and Lance, there are containers with your names on them, in the fridge, for work tonight.
Message From:The Cook
Greetings from Burlington, WI!!
Back at my parents for this week, have been busy with family and friends most of the weekend, helped my dad install a new ceiling in their dining room (the new tiles have only been in the house for five years now). Also caught up with a friend of mine and his wife, she will be expecting a bundle of joy come September.
Cookout sounds great, as I'm headed over to a relative's house shortly, a cousin of mine had first communion today, small party planned. When asked if we needed to bring anything, my aunt said "just your trap guns".....
See everyone later, provided the winds don't blow us away, my mother's windmill outside is spinning quite fast. It just might take off fairly soon if the wind keeps up.......

thanks for the container.I'll get it before work.matts been a busy camper today.he went with his sunday school to acouple of nursing homes to sing for the residents there.he also told his teacher all about the maumee and western.
Well, I think we wrung those clouds pretty dry before we sent them on.
We have great soak and run around the house, so we did and it did.
Exciting weekend in the diner. Congrats to Sarah, the birthday girl and Tree!
Now that it quit raining for awhile, I can go outside and play in the puddles. Back in time for breakfast/lunch!

Good Monday morning, everyone. Hope everyone had a great weekend, even if you had rain and more rain over the weekend. I want to again say "THANK YOU!" to all of you for the birthday good wishes.
Coffee is ready, along with fresh juice, and there's hot water for tea and cocoa.
Regular breakfast menu items are on the warmer bar.
Mookie, here's your coffee, in your big cup, and here's some breakfast for you!
If anyone has any requests for lunch, please let me know by about 9:45, 10:00 EDT.
I see mookie in her big red boots outside splashing in the water.matt would join you be we sent him to see a farm.might even get to bail some hay.Cw thanks for the breakfast.
Yawwwwwwwn. What a week. I'm running a double digit "sleep deficit." Gotta have some caffiene so I can stay awake for work, but that waterbed is very tempting. The Dalmatian would be glad to see me there so he can cuddle back in....
I now have Air Brakes signed off. Spoke with the trainmaster about when I'd be working in during the Memorial Day - July 4th time period, as I gave him a list of available days. "All of them look good....." Guess I can pretty much pick and choose what I want. Odds are I'll be the only trainman on a lot of the trips.
As an aside - those of you who have availed yourselves of Al Krug's explanation of air brake systems would have been right at home while our instructor was explaining basic air brakes. The only 'surprise' was a relay valve which is pretty much unique to passenger cars, thus wouldn't necessarily be included in Al's dissertation.
Bear Claw and first mug of orange and spice tea, please!
Snow?
Oh well, this is Colorado and it is still springtime...

On the way to Remsen Saturday I saw some snow on a well-shaded hillside.... Temps are up, so it's not long for the world, but it was the first weekend in May...
