Hello everyone! Just stopped in for a quick THANK YOU to everyone for your prayers and well wishes. Looks like you all are doing a fantastic job of keeping things going in here. Got to go now, beginning to feel some pain, so need to head to the couch!! Later,
Paula (CW)
Sheesh. Talk about nuts!
So, it's a superstition that fires come in threes (but there is also a bit of factual experience there), so I figured we were out of the woods when my department was dispatched twice on Monday following the Library fire on Friday (one was a mutual aid electrical investigation, the other was a mutual aid brush fire - eight acres). Then today, we end up headed for another mutual aid brush fire (big for our area - 50 acres), and an accident between a tow truck carrying concrete blocks and a school bus (3 kids to the hospital, it's thought the driver of the tow truck died of natural causes before the accident). So now we're back to waiting for number three again.
Ham. Beans. Cornbread! I'll be over in the corner booth, trying to get through my supper before the pager goes off again.

Hmm, Sort of interesting, as CW now Does have to carry a card in her wallet stating that she does have "metal" in her body. (for when she sets off the "Metal Detectors" where ever.)
Dan, Hope things with "New Boss" do go well.
Joe, you and the others are just going to have to keep on, CW just can't make it in for awhile yet. She tried Sat. evening, but just couldn't do it.
This place has almost been like Grand Central with the P.T. & VNA coming in several different times already.
(and I haven't had that much time to check in either....been very busy)
(as a matter of fact, the major reason I'm here right now, is because the nurse is in with her.)
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!!
.....Yes, I know what a Ford Tri-motor plane is. Has what looks like corrugated metal body sides, etc...
There used to be 2 of them over in northern Ohio that sold "rides" as you state that one was doing. Don't know if they are still there or not.
The oldest planes I've flown in were many DC-3's.....and a Piper tail dragger Cup {J-3}. It just happened to be flown by a famous flyer {later}, Leroy Berkebile...from Somerset, Co. in Pennsylvania....and a classmate of my older brother {deseased}, in school. He was envolved in a 727 hi jacking many years ago over {of all places}, Indiana...when a fellow jumped out the back door {that accessed to rear stairwell}.....! Leroy was an American Airlines pilot then. {Also a WWII carrier pilot earlier}....
Q - 84K sounds about right. We only have football in our area - no lakes, no mts, no nothing, so football is our entertainment from end of August to Xmas. And they will screech about this game until next weekend when IA State will again give us all something to yell about!
Speaking of planes - we had a 1929 tri-motor Ford in town flying over our watch spot and even the house that Mookie lives in. It looks like a pencil box with wings and flys v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y. Made me a nervous wreck each time I saw it - couldn't wait for it to get from one side of Millie or the house, to the other so I wouldn't have to worry about it just drifting to the ground.
$50 per 15 min. You couldn't even give me a free ride! Relieved it is gone today - I hope!
Little more pity from Denver, if you please. Sad state of affairs here at Newbrasskey. (besides I couldn't get the magnet picked up - will have to resort to some other devious plot!)
.....J: Regarding the game.....Your stadium photo {full of people}, was a front page photo on Sunday on our Muncie StarPress. Did it say 84,000 folks....Believe that's what it said....
I know nothing about football, {don't follow it}, but understand it was a pretty wild game and as you say a difference of one point at the final.
As a side note: Saturday evening Jean and I had stopped at our favorite spot...{to watch some trains}, and that is at Mc D's parking lot where the NS Frankfort line skirts right by it's edge.
As we were having a bit of refreshment, we heard this unusual hissing noise and it turned out {what I think it was}, the Ball State team coming back into Muncie via a DC-9 jet....and it was really low and making a wide sweeping turn to line up to the longest runway at the Muncie airport bringing the team back home....
Just a bit unusual, as our airport doesn't normally have such size planes using the facility. One of the two runways is plenty long to serve such size planes, as I've seen 727's in there some years ago which is a larger jet than the above mentioned one.
By the way: Just another side note....We have had WWII bombers such as B-24 Liberators and B-17 4 engined planes in there several times too. They need quite a bit of runway to get up too. Saw these two circle over real low some years ago and land one right after the other....Like a time warp..!
So it sounds like our team made plenty of waves out at your place.
I suppose the fans got their money's worth. Hope it was exciting for all.
Morning everyone. Hope your weekend was ok. I didn't get to see many trains due to other activities sucking up my time.
My new boss 'Barbie' starts today. I'm referring to her as that because in the conversations I've had with her she doesn't seem much smarter than her namesake. Lord, I hope I'm wrong or work just got harder...
I'll grab a to-go box and pop in tonight. Later!

morning
well i see mookies mug is on the counter.better get it filled.we have coffee and juice ready for today.also have mookies beagle ready to go.yep mookie is going to send the warm tempratures this way then its suppossed to get in the 40s for lows on the weekend.I have put out chips and we have lunchmeat and all the fixings for lunch.man i didn't know how hungry everyone gets to be.we need our cook back pronto.
It is really warm here this morning, so will spend some quality time in the hammock. Wake me for lunch.
Oh yeah - good to hear from everyone over the weekend.
And an aside to Q - Ball State was awesome. The Cornhuskers were not. We won, but only by a whisker and methinks a little divine intervention. Don't think there is any other explanation.
J
jeaton - I love the Outer Banks, and I've only been there on two day drips - beautiful area, and if it weren't for the likelyhood of having my beach house washed away by the occasional hurricane, I think I'd move down there when I retired. Although the no trains thing would be a negative...
Did two benefit meals today - breakfast was to benefit a young lady (and daughter of a good friend and fellow firefighter/EMT) with lukemia, dinner (well, lunch) was a benefit chicken barbeque for a couple who was on a benefit motorcycle ride and was involved in a serious accident. Both are still in the hospital. The first batch of 100 chicken halves sold out in just 15 minutes.
Got some chores to do.
randy thanks for breakfast woke up late this morning.our trip home had an accident on I-75 southbound.people were busy rubbernecking in the northbound lanes.hope no one was hurt to bad.for lunch we will have baked ham and cheesy potatoes and green beans.we also have peach,cherry and apple pie for dessert.I have my container for work tonight.
Randy- your "truckstop breakfast buffet" is very much appreciated here, THANKS MUCH for your contribution! I think I'll grab some a plate of scrambled eggs and some sausage to go along with my coffee and orange juice this morning.
Currently, it's 64 degrees here in Sioux Falls, and it is supposed to warm up to about 86 degrees later this afternoon. Tomorrow is supposed to be much cooler here with 71 degrees.

Morning.....
seeing as nobody is in yet, I'll whip up a big truckstop breakfast buffet--scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and home fries, pancakes with butter and syurp, and for the southern crowd, grits, biscuits and gravy. Plenty of assorted juices and coffee is also available.
Back in a short....

Evening all from Harborcreek, PA...
Brian from IA, headed up your way to the twin cities with a load of Budweiser's finest in the back (and the first one who gets near the back doors gets their hide removed from themselves, I take hauling this stuff seriously). Just got out of the real diner, meant to go in for a quick meal, but wound up spending about four hours engaged in conversation with about five fellow drivers. Was a good time.
Glad to hear that CW is back at home, wish her well on her continuing recovery.
Well, going into the bunk now, will be in quick tomorrow morning before heading west, hope to get into Wisconsin by the end of tomorrow....
I just got home from having had dinner with my sister and her husband, they wanted to celebrate my most recent birthday, so they took me out to the Timber Lodge for dinner.
I've eaten so much tonight that I am thinking I could go the whole week without eating anything more. But I think I will take a few slices of the Hawaiin pizza home with me and have it for breakfast tomorrow morning........if I am hungry enough. I'd eaten so much tonight that I could almost fall asleep in my captain's chair.
Well Jay, I think it might take even a bit longer than by Monday. She tried to sit out here awhile ago for a few, and just couldn't take sitting like that. Couldn't get that leg/knee in any kind of comfortable position.
(She is "shuffling" around here reasonably well though, just can't stand for a long period)
Since I've not seen a menu posted by anyone else, I'm guessing our Saturday Night
Pizza Fest is still on, so with CW's guidance, I'll put out tonights menu:
1. Anchovie
2. Cheese/Extra Cheese
3. Pepperoni
4. Sausage
5. Supreme
6. Goetta
7. Chef's Special
8. Hawaiian
As per usual, all the other fixins' are available. ENJOY!!

And a good Saturday morning to everyone out there. CW, welcome home! I'll bet that it feels good to finally be out of that hospital.
Shiver me timbers, it's cold here in South Dakota! It got down to about 45 degrees here during the course of the night. Right now we have an outside temp of 49 degrees. It is supposed to get up to about 76 degrees here this afternoon. One thing about our fall weather here is that it sure makes for some nice sleeping. I shut off my central air conditioning system when I got home from my other part time job last night.
There's a nice couple in Louisville, Kentucky who will be receiving a care package from me, and maybe today. And I think they will find out that I actually do make a good pan of cinnamon rolls. Anyway, I wanted to help them celebrate the success of CW's knee replacement.
modelcar did you find some coffee?? we have them on a timer.we have juice and lemonade too.if you get a chance check out the fostoria railfest today.matt and i are going to my nephews birthday tonight so we will see what we can along I-75.going to go get cleaned up before we get on the road.have some cinnamon rolls.
