Wow - get busy at work so I don't have time to check in from time to time and I've got three pages to catch up on!

Let me fill up my plate here....

Managed to catch a couple of GP38's bringing some autohaulers into the yard at my workplace.  Looked like a couple of stray hoppers finally caught up to their brethren, too - the rest showed up a couple of days ago and are almost all empty now. 

I'll be cleaning up my plate over in a booth by the window...

......Ray:  Elvis self destructed in his last years but before that started to happen he could really perform...Really...!  Saw him live in Vegas many years ago at a dinner show at the then International Hotel and he never stopped for the over 2 hr. show....He worked his butt off on stage and brought down the audience time and time again...Still have the record that was provided to each of us in the dinner show.  What he could do was handle an audience and sing....  Did he ever....!!

Thought I'd drop in to say Hi. Getting ready to head to Folkston this weekend. I think were leaving Friday morning around 12:30A.M. to get there around 6:30A.M. just in time for the action to start. Well, I'll need supper to go please.

I have cats but they are down, and outside. So no catsup here. Big Smile [:D]

I can provide desserts again, *goes to the store to get donuts, cakes, and pies*

How about some comdiments as well? I have pickle relish, dill of course, mustard, mayo, ketchup, tobasco sauce, and salsa, as always.

Peanut butter and cheese is one of my favorite sandwiches.  It's very filling and will keep you going, especially if you are working hard at something.  IMHO cheddar (not Kraft slices!  Yech!) and creamy PB work best.  My father does like creamy PB and swiss tho...but he'll eat almost anything!  Even Limberger (sp) cheese!  How about we do some burgers and fries for dinner?

Still no sign of the cat.  I'm starting to get a bit worried.  Even though the air temp is warm up here there is lots and lots of moisture on the ground.

If Evlis liked peanut butter & banana in his sandwiches, maybe he wasn't such a bad guy afterall. When my brothers and I were little kids we thought that the peanut butter & banana sandwich was an invention of Grampa Loftesness.

...Jen:  Your comment of "Elvis is in the building", is funny as we have a {person}, locally {believe he is even a performer}, who has groomed himself to look like Elvis and you might have seen me write about our local restaurant {Bruner's}, in other posts recently....and he was just in there when Jean and I exited a day or two or so ago and she said to me when we left..."Elvis is in the building".  This one better be getting on a diet too....Maybe too much peanut better, etc....

75.4 degrees here now in Muncie with beautiful sunshine all day.  Some wind.

As I recall, and has already been mentioned by another member, Elvis liked peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

Didn't Elvis love PB&Banana sandwiches?

I could go for a good ol' hamburger with fries.  My 2 cents [2c]  That's enough, right?

I just watched a long BNSF string of covered hoppers move through the yard here in Sioux Falls, and it was northbound, possibly to Wilmar, Minnesota. The third engine in the consist was a NorfolkSouthern C40-9W, #8948. Interesting. Wish I had my trusty Nikon FE with me.

For a sandwich, one of my favorite combinations is peanut butter and banana!

Lunch time!  So...I hope there's a lot b/c I'm famished.  I had 9 personal training clients this morning and two exercise classes to teach.  This afternoon I only have 3 classes to teach then done for the day.

LUNCH!  Ding Ding.....

I appreciate Willy coming to my rescue on the beagle.  I hadn't thought about that!  I was just going to get a bigger toaster; now I don't have to....

Ring the bell again - get someone's attention for LUNCH!

Moo....
