"Lionel trains are the standard of the world" - Jousha Lionel Cowen

I've got to get down there one of these years. Our PBS station sells a ton of admissions every year at the merchandise auction....

What a relaxing weekend. If it wasn't for the day/time stamp on the posts I'd have no idea what day it is. I'm just doing whatever I feel like for a change instead of serving a schedule.
Sat by the tracks yesterday with an old HS friend I haven't seen for a while. We probably BS'd for 3-4 hours. Couple that with such nice, cool, fall-like weather and it doesn't get much better!

Must be everyone is out trying to enjoy what little summer is left.
Hawaiian for me, please. And some sweet tea.
A nice day today. Nice change from hotter weather elsewhere.
A good day to spend a little time with the family at the last weekend of the Rennisance Festival in Sterling...
Well, it's time to get our SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST going. On tonight's menu:
1. Canadian bacon2. cheese3. Goetta4. Hawaiian5. Pepperoni/sausage/mushroom6. Supreme7. anchovie
I've baked and put out two extra large for each kind; there are 7 more made up in the freezer, if more people come in. All we'll have to do is put them in the oven.
Hope everyone has a great evening. And, elofan Jim, good to see you in today!! Hope you'll drop in more often.
Last evening my bride (aka "better half") grabbed a Mickey D chicken wrap and sat at the Metra Naperville, IL station and watched the action with our Golden Retriever "Amber" and saw the Amtrak "Illinois Zephyr" come through west bound with an unusual two units and five cars. The units were a ubiquitous Genesis and number 515...very unusual. The night before the same train had a different Genesis unit but also number 515. Number 515 is a Dash 8-P32BWH and here is a past photo of her on a different train...
*walks in*
Fixes myself a chicken sandwich, fries, and a tall glass of iced tea*
*sits in the corner with my laptop and watches the trains go by*
Goood Saturday morning, everyone! Very nice and pleasant this morning, with a current temp of 67. Made for some good sleeping last night. Hope everyone had a good night's sleep (looks like some are still visiting Sleepy Town).
Coffee is on and ready; freshly made juices, iced tea and lemonade are in the fridge and cooler; Gatorade tanks replenished.
On the breakfast/warmer bar: pancakes, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs.
You all have a great day, be careful and stay safe, and see you all back in here later on.
Wow - Don't get in for a bit and the place is just a hoppin'!
Gotta work this weekend - still programming radios. At least I can decide how long I want to work.
Was inside this afternoon, and away from my computer, so I missed the storm that blew through. Unfortunately the slider in the back window of the truck was open and some drops made it all the way to the front console - good thing it didn't pour, too!
The Dal is sitting here looking at me - I think he wants to be a lap dog. But, I have some fire department business to do here first, so he'll have to wait.
I think I'll have some perch, just for the halibut...
It supper time now (at least on the East Coast), so here's tonight's fish menu:
1. catfish 2. cod 3. perch 4. rainbow trout 5. halibut 6. steamed clams
They're all on the warmer bar, along with fries, hushpuppies, and corn on the cob. On the section of the warmer bar, which has been loaded with crushed ice are cole slaw, potato salad, seafood sauce, and tarter sauce. In the cooler are chocolate cake, apple, peach, cherry and pecan pies.
Everyone enjoy your supper, and if you wish, take your plates on out to the patio, enjoy the trains passing through, and enjoy the evening.

I actually get a weekend off (part of it at least) and I'm going to do some railfanning and finish some modeling projects. I may stop in for more fish later...we had a late lunch here at work.
Mook: thanks for the support.
Brian, Brian - The name escapes me. Hmmm - Maybe it will come to me later.
And shoes! I threw out the evidence er...shoes a long time ago! They were really ratty looking!

I think Brian has a pair of shoes that prove otherwise

Well, although I don't post in here often, I for one enjoy lurking in the dinner.
Thanx CW - I have been busier than a one-armed paper hanger with an itch!
Mutt - I think you are on to something.
Back to the grindstone - It is getting ahead of me!
Everyone have a good weekend.

Okay, everyone, our FRIDAY FISH FRY AND CLAMBAKE is now underway. All the regular kinds of fish, along with clams, are now on the warmer bar. We also have the usual sides of fries, hushpuppies, and corn on the cob also on the warmer bar. In the iced section of the warmer bar, you have cole slaw, melon chunks, grapes, and pineapple.
DESSERTS TODAY: chocolate cake, apple, cherry, peach and pecan pies.
Mookie, if you wish, there are a couple of several to-go containers in the cooler for you to take home for tonight. All you and Driver will have to do is zap the fish, fries and hushpuppies in the microwave, and you'll both be ready to eat your supper!! And anyone else is more than welcome to fix to-go containers to take home with them for tonight, also!!

NO, no one said anything about it. Glad it's helping
Since I got up with little one, I may as well have some breakfast. How about a muffin and some fruit?
I have my air blasting, since it's so muggy outside. I would hate to be working outdoors this time of year. Yuck!
Mook, don't know if this is the answer you're looking for, but, several days ago on our local news they had a thing on something very similar to what you're talking about.
It would seem that there are some very, very small "mites" that have been "Hitching Rides" on flying insects to deliver said "bites". They don't seem to know exactly what they are, but they do bite and leave little red bumps on you. (and itch like crazy) I have some on me now on my forearms. Never felt anything bite me, just after I come back in the house, there they are. I've also had a bit of trouble keeping them from itching, using rubbing alcohol works, but not for long..I put a bit of Neosporin on them, and that's seem to have worked. (for now anyway)
FYI, all three of us wear shorts outside, and seems like I'm the only one to get bitten by these whatevers!
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!!
CW - looks like I am here 'til at least 1-1:30 CDST. So you should be ok.
Question for anyone that may know - Driver has been attacked periodically during this summer by an unseen bug. He gets what looks like mosquito bites between his waist and knees. Hard bumps that itch terribly. They don't seem to get him on other parts of his body, they aren't spider bites since I have sprayed the house, haven't seen a bug one all summer inside (ok one silverfish I killed in the bathtub) we have literally no back yard - just wood chips on the side of the parking lot and we spend no time out front where the grass is.
They don't bother me - have had nothing bite me (bug-wise) at all. He wears shorts; I don't. We have ruled out mosquitos, spiders, bed bugs, chiggers (his lower legs aren't attacked) and I itch just thinking about them. They are one-at-a-time and usually hit anywhere from 2-3 days apart to several weeks.
Anyone have any thoughts?
its friday!!!!! friiiiday!!!! friiiidayyyyyyyy!!!! Dan glad your package arrived ok.CW thanks for breakfast.I am going to help a friend move some furniture for his parents then grab a nap then off to Deshler.If anyone comes through NW ohio today stop in and say HI.Ed I'm hoping Dean doesn't come and pay a visit to you.
