CW - I'll be praying for you over the upcoming months so that your knee surgery in September goes well.
Ray - Sorry to hear about the accident at work. Sounds like a nasty mess.
Hot day in Omaha today with highs in the lower 90s. Tomorrow looks about the same. UP has three of their heritage units at Omaha's Durham Western Heritage Museum this weekend so I think tomorrow I will go and get pictures of them. Hopefully the pictures will be good enough to post!
TTFN.

Glad you didn't get hurt Ray, but that couldn't be fun. Once I had to take some 40 gallon trash bags from big cans to dumpsters. I have a heave and the bag let go! It was a garbage shower...yech! I can appreciate the feeling at that moment.
CW I'll take one of whatever's closest and be devouring it in the corner. One more day of lathe and plaster......is two too many!

Joe-I sent you an email with some more pictures. Hope you and the family enjoy them!
thanks Dan for the pics.will take some supper for tonight but I'm going to eat it on the back porch.won't go back to work until tommorow night.
Well, I wasn't able to get any of my pictures today due to some rule changes at the Heritage event at the Durham Western Heritage Museum. The 3 heritage units on display are right up against the side of the museum with just a narrow little platform to walk on alongside them. Yesterday, people were allowed to go on the other side of the engines so they could take good pictures. Today, they wouldn't let people on the other side, thus good pictures were impossible to take due to a person's extremely close proximity to the engines. Also, yesterday they were letting people into the cabs of the engines. That was a big no-no today also. In other words, I paid 10 dollars for nothing. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have seen them and to have gotten that close to them, but it is not what I was planning on. I figure that if people yesterday were allowed into the cabs, than the people today should have been also. It was a big disappointment.
I'll live with it, but I'm really pretty unhappy this afternoon. Hopefully everyone else's day has gone better than mine.
Willy, I feel your pain. It sounds like the kind of luck I would have at an event like that.
I'm currently watching an episode of Extreme Home Makeover that was filmed in Lincoln, NE- Ms. Mooks, do you know the recipients, the Mahachek/Fullerton families (now combined)?

Looking at the pictures posted yesterday, I noted people standing on the units and I thought "That's nice." The BNSF engine on display at Galesburg was fixed with portable stairs and plastic safety fencing to keep people (and kids) from falling and getting hurt. Someone "in charge" was sitting on the left side, but the engineer's seat was available for anyone to play pretend train driver.
It didn't look like the Heritage Engines were set up that way. I suspect that someone may have fallen or some suit decided "Hey, somebody could fall down, get hurt and sue for millions!" That's life.

juice coffee and lemonade are ready to go.we also have some freshly made doughnuts and biscuits and gravy(cw left the recipie out).mookie have driver stand by at the mailbox.here is your coffee mug.
Good Monday morning, everyone. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Now, it's back to the grindstone.
Joe, thanks for making the coffee, juice and lemonade this morning! And it looks like you did a great job making the gravy. It' not too thin or too thick. You did it perfectly!!
Has anyone heard from Emmar lately?!?! It's been quite awhile since I've seen her in here!! Sure hope she and family are o.k.!!
Think I'm going to take my coffee, and a plate of biscuits and gravy, out to the garden, and wait for Mookie. Everyone take care, and have a good day.
CW: You gonna be out back for a while? Methinks mooks is off Mon and Thur..... (I'm off today to make up for working 10 days in a row - Go back to Gering late Tue to resume the tour-de-nebrasky.)

Mudchicken, I ended up not staying out too long; had to go do some errands, and wanted to get them taken care of before it started getting hot outside. And it looks like you and I have been the only ones in here today!
Makes me glad that I did so much cooking yesterday. There are plenty of leftovers from Sunday Dinner, warmed up and on the warmer bar. Everything's labeled and covered, so all you all need to do is look on he lid, to tell what's inside, lift the lids, and fill your plates.
So everyone have a good afternoon, and stay as cool as possible!!
Leftovers sound great today! CW I'll just grab a well-rounded plate and munch in the corner for a while. I think I finally got the plaster dust out of the hair: I was demolishing most of the 'rents house for them over the weekend. The big hammer came in quite handy!
Joe those pics you sent are pretty sweet. I finally had some time to go over them more closely...good job!
dan
not a problem.Cw will take some leftovers for supper tonight.its been thinking about raining but we haven't got any yet.
Left overs for dinner tonight sounds pretty good to me. I'll stop in within the next couple hours to see what I can find in the fridge. It's 90 degrees here in Sioux Falls and it's going to be a while before it even begins to cool down here.
I just got home from work about 20 minutes ago and I had one of "those days", and as a result the manager at Wendy's sent me home a bit early to cool off. I lost my temper with another employee who is constantly whining about having to do the tasks that are asigned to him, and yesterday he was nearly five hours late in showing up for work, which is not fair to the rest of us who want to work and are always on time. He was using the company's phone for his own personal business, which even the manager told him he should not be doing. He was on break, but has his own cell phone. Earlier in the afternoon I told the manager that I was about ready to strangle this kid. I finally turned around from what I was doing and in a voice as loud as thunder, I yelled to him "Get off the phone, you ( you fill in the blanks) !!!!! I did use the "F" word in this, which I will admit was a bit uncalled for, but I was really steamed. It was like an eruption of Mt. St. Helens. I'm sure that I left the other employees in a state of shock, because they never expected an "explosion" of this magnitude from little old mild mannered me.
Hopefully, the MT. St. Helens within me will be quiet and much more subdued tomorrow.

//makes mental note to be very nice to Ray
The weather has been pretty exciting around here today, so far we've gotten over half an inch of rain, and Iowa City is currently under a tornado warning.
Ray, hope you feel better tomorrow. I know how it is, when you finally reach the boiling point: then this little Cherokee goes on the warpath. That hasn't happened for a long time, but you never know when it'll explode!!
Joe and Lance, there are containers in the fridge, with your names on them, for work tonight. You both have a good assortment of leftovers, so you should have plenty to fill your tummies!
For everyone else, I've heated more leftovers, and they are on the warmer bar. Everyone have a great evening, and Brian, I hope CI and the rest of the state doesn't get any bad, bad weather!
(glub, glub)
WOW... Anybody have any scuba gear I can borrow?
In the last hour we've received 2.24 inches of rain. My weather station also recorded the highest wind gust that it's seen so far- 34.5 MPH, which in this neigborhood full of hills and mature trees is SMOKIN'. From what I can see out our windows, there are alot of not-so-small tree branches down. At this point, though, the only casualties in our house are a slow drip coming out of the bathroom ceiling fan and a very damp three-seasons porch (not a problem, just outdoor furniture and carpet out there).

Good Tuesday morning, one and all. Looks like it was very slow in here last night. Brian, hope everything has calmed down now, and that everyone is all right.
Mudchicken, I'll keep praying that you all get some much needed rain and slightly cooler temps!!
Coffee is just about through brewing, and there's fresh juices made, along with tea (both sweet and unsweetened), lemonade & limeade.
On the warmer bar/breakfast bar, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage links, and western omelletes, along with various melon chunks, and other fresh fruit.
Hope all our MIAs from yesterday are back today. Wish I could visit the garden for a few, but, since this is Produce Tuesday for me, guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow morning. See you all later!!
