Off to enjoy the weekend, now. It's rough having a job that you end up off the clock more than on.....

Now that info of Kingman's airport being sold and seemingly from what you are saying it no longer is an airport being used comes as a surprise.
Years ago, I would fly out of there to Phoenix to catch a plane to Chicago. And in Summer it would be a bumpy ride over the hot air currents of the desert. Later on we would drive to Las Vegas to McCarren field to fly back east.
Always loved the {Santa Fe}, RR action around Kingman as I would be there off and on....Before Amtrak, with Santa Fe's double decker full length domes on some of the passenger trains that would stop there.
Sure is harsh desert in almost all ways one goes from there, but enjoyed the time I spent in that area.

First and foremost, to Driver!!
Our FRIDAY FISH FRY is now under way. On the menu today: cod, snapper, perch, rainbow trout, catfish, walleye and shrimp, served with fries, hushpuppies, cole slaw, and the usual list of pies.
There's plenty of iced tea (sweetened and unsweetened), lemonade, Gatorade (mc's blue, and lemon-lime and a couple other varieties.
Mookie and any others who won't be in over the weekend, have a good, safe one, and report back here Monday morning, all in one piece!!

Just the usual cameraderie and delicious virtual food.
I probably shouldn't complain about having to work the trains in the rain today... Good thing I carry a rainsuit with my grip...
Taking a day off from the railroad Saturday to get some stuff done around the house.
Did I see perch on the menu? I'll grab some in a take out tray...

.....All ok, so Kingman still does have an airport....All right.
Item: Always liked the view from out there {east}, at night, on the Sante Fe...{now BNSF}, as one could see signal {block}, lights for about 17 miles or so....
There's a fly in my soup. Will I be charged extra?

Lance and Joe, thanks to you both, for putting the coffee on, and making fresh juice and lemonade, and refillng the Gatorade!
For breakfast, on the warmer you, you'll find: turkey bacon, pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, plenty of maple syrup, and there are fresh melon chunks of all types in the cooler.
Everyone have a great day today, whatever you do, and wherever you go. Tonight's PIZZA FEST will get under way somewhere between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. EDT
Good morning!
Here in Omaha we're heading for a high temperature today of 98 degrees and the same for tomorrow. However, the computer models actually indicate what could be our first decent rain event in over a month for Monday. That would be so wonderful!
Everyone have a great weekend!
....Well Willy, we're not going to reach 98 today, but we're in and have been in the category of hot and dry for weeks now. To get to 90 today and a bit hotter next 2 days.
Believe next chance of rain {chance of}, will be about Tuesday. We sure do need more rain. But we've sure had nice weather as far as sunshine and clear skies go....and it's Summer, and we expect it to be like that. Crops have been stunted because of lack of rain but surprisingly, look pretty good....Even green.
It's about 90 degrees here, at least the humidity is down a bit, it's under 50%.
CW and CSXrules4eva, are out on a "Girls Day Out" mission, so I get to post the menu for tonights "Pizza Fest".
For Tonight's "Pizza Fest", we're having:
1. Hawaiian
2. Cheese
3. Goetta
4. Mushroom and Pepperoni
5. Supreme
6. Anchovy
7. Combos (what ever you want, within reason)
Get your orders in Now, 'cause they're going into to the Pizza Oven about 6:00pm!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!

First of all, there shouldn't have been anything but soup in your soup;
But we do charge extra for meat in veggie soup.
Mutt yep its real warm outside.need to stay cool.i'll make some more lemoade and some iced tea.will take some pepperoni mushroom pizza for tonight.
Mutt, you need to add Canadian Bacon with pineapple to that list.
I just got home from working a shift at Wendy's here in Sioux Falls. I started work this morning at 7:00 and finally clocked out at roughly 2:15 this afternoon.
It is pretty HOT here in Sioux Falls, we have a temperature of 94 degrees and the humidity is sitting at about 43%. The wind is out of the south at about 17 mph. Has anyone out there got it any hotter than this?? Thank God for air conditioning!!

Ray, you're very correct about the pizza menu, but look under "Combos"!!
At least OUR temp has not been that high, (100+degrees) we've been reasonably comfortable for this time of year. (had a HOT enough start though)
The "high humidty" and lack of "breeze" is what makes it hard to handle.
Thanks Joe, for doing the extra lemonade and tea, I can use some help. It's a bit hard when there's only one of us around.
Seventy-one here at supper time - and that's our high for the day, with scattered showers and the threat of some thunder-boomers. Humidity is a tad high at 75%, but not uncomfortable.
Hawaiian for me, please.
Talk about a lazy day - I really needed a "down" day. The Dalmatian appreciated some significant lap time, too. Tomorrow it's back on the railroad and then on Monday [gasp] back to work!.
Well, Sarah and I are back home now. Had a nice time at the mall. Very nice and cool in there!! We almost didn't want to come out of the mall!
Mutt, thanks for fixing the pizzas for tonight. Looks like you did a very good job, too!!
The only real shopping I did, was to buy myself a couple of pairs of "house shoes. One pair has really good soles, that I can wear out in the yard. I'm about ready for a short nap! Being out in the heat (we've had an Ozone Warning out for the afternoon, and you can really feel it when you're out in the hot air and sun.
Everyone, have a great evening, and enjoy your pizzas Mutt made today!

Hmmm. Sounds like somebody looking for a free meal. Anybody checked for Hobo chalk outside the diner lately?
