I'd ask for a number 2, but that just doesn't sound right.....
Been nuts at work - at least the evenings haven't been as bad. Just wish that "band" practicing the same "song" for the 647th time would find a new place to practice.
Much cooler here - after 1.2" of rain in less than two hours. It was a "gully washer" but didn't do much damage other than washing some gravel out of the shoulders of a couple of our hilly streets. Haven't had to mow in two weeks or so. That'll change soon.
Top brass visiting at work tomorrow, and I have to brief them (however briefly) and do a short tour of my current project. Should be fun....

We live in a no mountain, no big bodies of water, no sand, no surf, so when we vacation we can go to Iowa and have a whole change of scenery.
But like living in Hawaii - any place else must be a big disappointment....
Moo?
Good Thursday morning, everyone! Very nice, cool and pleasant here this morning. Temp is in the mid 60s, nice little breeze, and lower humidity!
Coffee and hot tea are just about ready. Fresh juice an lemonade and ice tea are made.
On the warmer bar this morning: several different kinds of muffins, sausage, pancakes, waffles, and western omelletes.
Think I'll get a cup of tea for Mookie, and a cup of coffee for myself, and head outside, and join Mookie, where neither of us has to keep out moufs shut!!
Here's your bib, Mook.
So which comedy team do we most resemble, Dan? Laurel and Hardy? Abbot and Costello? Tom and Dick Smothers?
Gotta get back to work here before my AAADD sets in...
LOL someone did read that.
We could figure out who we are but I think that 'I Don't Know' which base I'm on...
Mookie, enjoyed our chat this morning, out in the garden!! Think we could resume it later on tonight, and decide what name Brian and Dan should give their act?!?!
Thursday lunch is just about ready. I'm fixing open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters and gravy, your choice of green beans, peas, broccoli or brussels sprouts, corn on the cob, or creamed corn. And I've made fresh garden salads that are in the cooler, and sliced some red and yellow tomatoes that are also in the cooler.
Don't think I'm overlooking anything, but if I am, I'm sure someone around here will remind me.

Who's on first.
Since I'm 6'-5" and have a mustache, I must be Abbot.
What about second?
I could be Costello...there are far worse things to be!

Yep.

There it is. It should play automatically through IE plugin with Quicktime.
Make me laugh every time!
Well, for everyone's supper tonight, I have fixed:
1. Beef noodles w/beef gravy, mashed taters, and garden salad
2. got the charcoal grill heating, to grill pork chops and salmon fillets
Other side dishes tonight will be: baked potatoes on the grill, grilled corn on the cob, brussels sprouts, broccoli w/cheddar cheese sauce.
Desserts tonight: chocolate cake, chocolate pie, pecan pie, and ice cream
Guys, I need some help tonight, putting up birthday decorations for tomorrow. And be sure you put up some banners that say "Nifty, Nifty, Looks Who's Fifty!!" I've already talked with JHH, and told him that he HAS to make an appearance in here tomorrow, so we can all wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I can help with any other banners and filling the balloons!
I'll take a plate to go CW, got softball tonite!

I can fish for landlocked salmon, coho salmon, steehead, lake trout, rainbow trout and brown trout in the Great Lakes a bit over an hour from home.
Now my busman's holiday will take me to the Pacific Northwest for a bit of RR consulting. Nice work if you can get it...

Good Friday morning, everyone! And may it be a Very Good Friday the 13th for everyone, especially for our birthday guy!
Jim, HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
For breakfast this morning, there are doughnuts of all shapes and sizes on trays on the counter. Just make sure that the one with the birthday candle sticking out of it, stays for Jim!! (He did promise me that he'd try his best to make an appearance in here today!!)
Guys, thanks for helping decorate the Diner and Coffee Shop: you did a terrific job!! Everything looks great!!!!
Well at least something nice happened on the 13th! Happy Birthday Jim! I will tip an ear in your honor - that's ear <~>, not beer.
LC - Driver would be headed your way right after work, if I told him. But I don't want to tease him that way, so I won't say a word. For now. Wait for a mad moment. During one of those rare "he doesn't see it my way" times.
I need to go fall in a cuppa coffee....
Joe - when you get in here, check the bulletin board. I did one just for you and Matt! Only broke one crayon, too! May have to frame the next one!

// Drags in....Goes to freezer and rolls out another drum of gatorade, drags out another vat of sunblock and heaves them into the truck. Last day in the Nebrasky Panhandle before we come back in 4 days (and avoid the Oregon Trails Day madness here in Gering/Scottsbluff). Maybe Willy can get the sun to back off next time. BNSF & UP running the wheels off cars up here. Head for Denver about 4PM. BNSF is fresh out of flagmen to work with us. Time for a break! Hope da boyz let me in the house tonight about 10PM.
BNSF had a costly 1 car derailment to go along with the 33 car screwup at Hyannis last weekend. At Torrington, apparently 1 car derailed in a crossing and was dragged for 5 miles before rerailing on a switch. BNSF now has 5 miles of nicked rail and destroyed concrete ties to replace. Ugh!-They have it band-aided together at 10 MPH for now.
PRSX 405 (GP-10, former IAIS locomotive #405 still in full IAIS paint, ex BN1415, GN 515 GP9) is marooned in the UP yard here at Gering. It seems to be almost homeless and scrapbait. Why isn't it on home rails (Sidney & Lowe RR at nearby Sidney?) Demurrage?
Happy birthday JHH. Hope you get in here and get some cake before the cat cabbages it.

M C: That brings up something I've wondered about. Does a derail and as you related, running derailed on concrete ties always automatically ruin them to the point they must be replaced.
I would imagine they are not as forgiving as wood ties in that respect.
