Busy day!
Spent the morning at the local Model RR Club open house, in full uniform. Had some nice talks with members and visitors.
Spent the afternoon with daughter and son-in-law, cruising the St Lawrence (on a tour boat) and enjoying dinner on the veranda at a local restaurant. Now I get to rest.
Maybe a piece of Hawaiian for a bedtime snack.....

Good Sunday morning! Joe, thanks for making the coffee, juice and lemonade this morning, along with the rest of breakfast. A couple of waffles and leftover pizza sound very good this morning. And yeah, it's going to be another 3H day today. That's why I'm back in the kitchen, right now, getting Sunday Dinner ready: beef roast, potatoes, carrots, going in the Crock Pot. Everything will be ready to set out on the warmer bar at 1 p.m. EDT. To go along with the roast, we're also having broccoli & cheese, cream style corn, and your choice of homemade biscuits or cornbread.
Also have plenty of the ice cream left that Lance made last night.
Everyone have a good morning, keep as cool as possible, and take care!
The next round of Sunday Dinner is on the warmer bar. Along with the roast, taters, carrots, you have brussels sprouts, three bean salad, creamed corn and choice of bread, biscuits or cornbread, to have with your meal.
Just got back from the store: had to replenish supplies of Gatorade (lemon-lime, lemonade, glacier freeze (light blue) , frost (dark blue), and fruit punch). Also made fresh iced tea (sweet & unsweetened).
Desserts: chocolate, cherry and strawberry cheesecakes, chocolate cream pie, cherry, apple, and peach pies, and plenty of ice cream to go with the desserts.
cherry pie sounds great right now before I go to work. thanks for supper CW.
Well, looks like it's going to be another hot and hazy day around here. School started back this morning, here, and looks like things went well, getting the kids picked up at the bus stops. Haven't heard of too many problems this morning.
Coffee, juices, iced tea and lemonade are freshly made and waiting.
Got fresh strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe and watermelon on the breakfast bar, along with bear claws, bagels and cream cheese for the bagels. Now, if people will just show up, to eat!!
I may or may NOT be back in later. Depends on if anyone decides to show up!!
Everyone stay cool, and take care.

Had a great weekend at the wedding in MI. I even got to sneak some railfanning in on the way home "Well honey, it is on the way and we never get up here!" I got some neat depot shots, an old semaphore, saw some WC in action, and 'found' a different railroad company. It's the Escanaba & Lake Superior. They were running a pair of SD9's (I think that's what they were) on a mainline freight. Some interesting ops and very, very railfan friendly. They had a small black engine marked B&D RR 1 on the cab. Not sure what it was but I left the pics at home ( ) so I can't upload now. I will make a thread for this later.
Extra wedding cake (almond & Raspberry) is in the fridge and I'll take a plate of whatever's around today CW.

Dan, Joe, and everyone, there are leftovers from Sunday Dinner on the warmer bar: roast, taters, carrots, cole slaw, brussels sprouts, corn on the cob, and for dessert: chocolate cake, cherry & strawberry cheesecake, and chocolate, vanilla and peach ice cream. Plus the leftover wedding cake Dan brought back.

Joe, our Ky. State Fair starts Thursday, and runs to August 26th, so I know county and state fairs are going on all over the country right now.

Me too. I saw 1, but I guess it was too early. We went up the hill around 10:00 PM.
I hear ya - it was clear here earlier, but when I went out later all I could see was a few stars peeking through holes in the overcast. I went to bed.
// crawls in....Downs a couple gallons of Gatorade Frost, pumps 55 gallons into the field cooler....goes to get ice...(102 in Las Animas today, 104 expected tomorrow...at least the humidity isn't what back east has) ...off playing "scavenger hunt" looking for 20 year old property corners that may [or may not] still be there...
Saw 3 dinky's (Plymouth ML-6s ?) on a flatbed semi-trailer for sale on the east side of Denver (I-70 & Colfax, south side)...Copcar: Seen these poor homeless critters in your travels? Wonder where they were liberated from? (2 black, one orange - all too clean/shiny to be ex-CF&I)...

Good Tuesday morning to one and all! Feeling a whole lot better today. Went to bed early: around 9:15, 9:30, and slept all night long.
Coffee is ready, juices freshly made, along with fresh lemonade and iced tea .
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: waffles w/fresh strawberries and Cool Whip. Bob, thanks for the request! Anyone have any requests for lunch and/or supper tonight?
Mudchicken, take care out in that heat today!! Along with everyone else, who has to be out in it!! I know it's miserable!!
I'll take a glass of milk and it's off to bed for me...... I hope everyone has a great day.

My o my. Everyone woke up early and gone before heat sets in. Should warm up nicely today.(eats and runs)
Hope someone, two or three, come in for lunch. On the warmer bar, you will find that today is: MEXICAN FIESTA DAY. tacos, burritos (bean & beef, beef & onion, regular and enchilada style), quasadillas, Spanish rice, and various other Mexican dishes. Even have some tortilla chips and salsa and con qaso (sp) .
Desserts: whatever you find in the cooler (pies and cobblers) and there's a couple of 1/4 sheet cakes on the counter (including chocolate cake w/chocolate icing).
You all have a great afternoon, and take care and stay cool and SAFE!!
CW the Fiesta just made my day. You've brought a smile to me. Thanks for that.
I put out six resumes yesterday and got six calls today to set up interviews. Apparently finding a better job has decent prospects. One interview tomorrow morning and more later this week.
Back in later if I have time.
Ho-Kay....I actually have a minute to breathe before the next onslaught.
I have the need to make a statement before I go into the wonderful world of fantasy.....I have been watching the "rest of the forum"....they could use a little fantasy once in awhile.
Anyone strolling through here having any kind of cooler weather? I know it is August, but it could be a very nice month if not for the 100+ degree heat.
Guess we had a scare in our diesel shop (BNSF) - they found some kind of putty all wrapped up and left in several cabs in the area. Now that was early this morning on the news and by tonite or tomorrow it will end up probably being someone's garden tomatoes left in one cab by accident. Seems the news is one way at 8 am and completely different at 6 pm.
Anyway - hazmat was called out and have heard no more.
Well, I am going to go sit somewhere and wait to see who I can snag as they wander by. Too hot to bat them around, so maybe I will just do a little ankle biting. Anyone else notice how crabby people everywhere are lately? Or do I just meet a better class of crabbies?
Yawn....

106 degrees yesterday, without the heat index...
Already up to 103 today and the worst is yet to come...
Is ice considered a food?
Did a rookie mistake today...climbed up on a black tankcar with out my gloves, rested my arm on the handrail and managed to get a good burn on the inside of my forearm...
