Sorry, I'm allergic to broom handles.

Ever have one of those itches you can't quite get to? It's in your mind...sitting there...saying 'Scratch me! Scratch me!' but you can't reach it...just that little spot....
hehe
I've got the Mexican Fiesta all ready for everyone! I stole the recipe for Taco John's Potato Ole's, plus we've got tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and taco salad for those who want something in a bowl. Beverages are in the usual spot.

oh-oh - a thought just occurred to me....wonder if those crumbs inside that suit are a problem....
Where is the broom CW? We need to get it inside that suit.....

I have to go fix the truck this morning. On the way home last night both headlights low beams burned out! I hated driving with brights on but better that than playing pinball on the way home. Back later....do I smell mexican in here today?
.....Those reindeer antlers sport lights too.

All's quiet on the northeastern front.
Word in the trade press is that the CSX Montreal Secondary is being bought by MM&A. That'll make an interesting change in scenery.
Off to a video teleconference....

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Quiet in here: So will make my observations and leave.
Lots of new faces in here - so happy to see them. Helps with the moral support immensely.
I appreciate Ed's thoughts - I don't like range wars, but I also don't like a place I frequent being made a target for "places not to go" and brought up for ridicule. Thick skin may be an asset, but I don't think it should be mandatory to just get through a public forum!
Dan - poke a muffin through the slit in the headgear in that tall object in the corner. He probably is getting hungry.....
Very unsettled weather yet - but nothing happening so far. Unusual for August.
That is a Jeep in the carport in Houston. You should see it at Xmas when it sports reindeer horns. Pretty cool!
Need a nap - been a long week already.

Good Wednesday morning to one and all. Nice and muggy here this morning, with a current temp of about 79, 80 degrees, and going up today. Believe I heard that our high yesterday was 88 degrees.
Ed, very nice pictures!! Glad you all didn't get all the bad weather, that you could have gotten. (And hope you don't get any, either!)
Coffee is ready, and there's fresh juices, iced tea and lemonade ready. Even have some Tropical Punch and Grape Kook-Aid in the fridge and cooler this morning.
Breakfast this morning: usual items, plus there's boxes of cold cereal on the counter.
Think I'll fix myself a couple of biscuits with sausage and scrambled egg, and head out to the garden for awhile, before it gets too warm and muggy to enjoy the outdoors. If anyone would like to join me, you're welcome to!!

Hey, is that a jeep sitting under the carport?
Ed, e-mail will be forthcoming when I can remember exactly what I posted.

Glad for two things Ed:
1. Nothing came of Dean
and
2. The 'thing' is over.
First,
Thanks for your concern, but as you can see, Dean did little more than clear out the smog and drop the temps down into the lower 90s or upper 80 at night..with a nice gulf breeze to boot.
Now, for the serious stuff.
Chris, got it, wonderful work, rosewood maybe, or spalted pecan?
I didn't get to read your post, so email me.
Brian, email me, I didn't get to read your post either.
If I offended anyone, my apologies, but it just chapped my fanny when guys like that come on with the attitude they are some how born with the right to tell others what to do, when to do it, and when to stop...contrary to his beliefs, he is no better than anyone of you guys here, or elsewhere in the forums for that matter, and in most cases, a lot less than most.
I took him to task simply because he is what I said he is, a troll, who has never made a single positive contribution to the forum.
Now, it's his right to be pitiful, old, alone and grumpy...but it is not his right to be insulting towards others because of that, or to try and drive off people he thinks are not as good as himself... he insulted me and my friends, so I held a mirror up to him, and I think I made my point.
I am going to leave off on him simply because it is causing some of you guys grief...which was never my intention.
That plus, nothing else can be gained from prolonging the argument.
So again, if I offended any of you, sorry.
Gonna go make chicken *** grilled in olive oil and garlic, with butter brazed mushrooms and onions, white rice with real butter, and fried spinach...sweet tea and coffee for when the sun sets
Well, first of all, Nanaimo, welcome to the DD/CS!! You are always welcome to come in, anytime you want, and we hope you come in often!!
Duff, thank you so much for supper tonight!!!! I was just going to make pizzas tonight, or make it Mexican Night, but the fish and fries are really good!! Give John our thanks for for making it!!
Everyone take care, and have a great evening!! See you all later!!
good evening

joe
No problem, I can share. Theres some rice and broccoli as well. There is enough for everyone. Gotta love a man that has been in the Army, he cooks like he's serving an army

As I said before, at least they're gone!
Duff I'll take some. Thanks!

Well, that's some satisfaction then. Thanks, Chris. I don't think Bergie was doing the deleting- my old thread with PZ's flame was deleted by ogaugeoverlord, and I noticed that he was in the forum this afternoon as well.
I fell in love with Youtube! I love watching the train action in my hometown, or anywhere at that rate. Now the trick for me is not to watch too many vids, or else I would be respobsible for throttling our bandwidth. This Christmas I plan to borrow my mom's camera, and record some vids of my own, while I am there.
I did promise my mediocre pictures from last year didn't I? It'll get done soon
hmm dinner...John is making fish...anyone want fish, fries and salad?

Well done, guys.
Long live the Diner.

I have a problem with people talking down to me, whether it would be a "stupid question" or whatever, So I may as well avoid the fights, stay in here and watch the trains go by. Like I said somewhere else, it's way too hostile out there. *shiver*Either that, or I will say something I will deeply regret by retaliating to some of the fools that post, so...here is where I feel safe. French fries please, with lots of ranch...
Thanks Duff.
I, for one, always feel like I can post and ask what I need to on here. We are all in this together and I won't let a couple of bad instances (not necessarily people!) ruin this experience for me.
I better get another sandwich, I think it could get busy in here!
I understand from a good source nearby that all is well with Willy- busy with school and staying away from here until the storm subsides. I don't blame him, in fact, I think I'll do likewise.
If anybody wants my input, I'll be hiding back in the knight armor again...
EDIT: The source beat me to it...
