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").
Lunch is now on the warmer bar: leftover burgers, hot dogs, steaks, and hot sides, and in the cooler the cold sides.
Got plenty of cake (chocolate and the patriotic cake from yesterday for dessert today.
Now to get ready for another doctor appointment: orthopedist this time. See you all later on, probably around 5 or so.
The Harrah's Casino fireworks last night were excellent. They put on a 20 or 25 minute show that is synchronized to music. I never listen to the music on the radio though, I'd rather just hear those fireworks exploding! There's another show tonight that was good last year, so I'll probably try to see it again this year.
Hot and humid weather continues here in Omaha. Mid to upper 90s expected this weekend with no rain until Monday at the earliest.
CW - glad to hear that your entire neighborhood didn't go up in flames!

Good Thursday morning, everyone. Hope everyone had a Happy and Safe 4th!! Joe and Ray, thanks for your best wishes. Had just gone to sleep, about 1:15 this morning, when I heard the jackhammer out front. Didn't keep me awake, though. Turned over, and went right back to sleep.
Woke up at 8:11, looked out, and all g&e vehicles gone!!
Joe, thanks for making the coffee, juice, etc., this morning, and making the cinnamon rolls. I'm very glad, that we didn't have a gas BOOM last night. You know the old saying about feeling like you've been run over by a semi? That's about how I feel this morning. Everyone have a good morning, and see you later on.
I am glad that your house did not go up in flames last night, CW. We should never underestimate the destructive potential of fireworks. A couple days ago here in Sioux Falls there was an 18-year old kid who ended up in the hospital after he had climbed into his car and accidently set fire to the stash of fireworks he had in his car. From what I've heard, he was pretty badly burned and the car is a total loss.
Sioux Falls is surrounded on three sides by the Big Sioux River and there was a big fireworks show down at Falls Park, just north of me last night. I lit a few fire crackers and a few bottle rockets when I got home from a cookout at my sister's house last night, but was much too tired to do much of anything, so I was in bed by 11:00 PM.

Well, this has certainly been an interesting 4th of July for us! Apparently, some of the neighborhood kids setting off fireworks ignited a gas leak from a main under the street. So, talk about possible fireworks!! We've had a fire department squirt apparatus, plus several police cars, and several gas & electric company vehicles out in front of our house, since about 9:30.
At 10:35, a fire captain rang the doorbell, telling us to evacuate and go around the corner to the funeral home (like they were really expecting something bad to happen!!) They even called a metro bus for us to sit in, since they were expecitng thunderstorms to roll in. Which they now have, after we've been back home about a half hour now.
So breakfast may be late in the morning; I'll probably be sleeping in. So everybody can help themselves to any of the leftovers from the cookout, or whatever else you can find.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Steak...

I'll have one of everything, and two of a couple of them. Good thing it's all virtual or I'd really be suffering later...
Nearly 400 people celebrated the 4th by riding along for our "Train Robberies" today. All in all, things went pretty well - it was kind of nice just to sit back and check out the landscape. We had plenty of car hosts, and once we got rolling, the cast of the robberies pretty much ran the show.
I don't know if the fireworks on the river got cancelled tonight, but my ride (a local fire boat) did, so I'm enjoying a restful evening in.
Hope everyone had a pleasant day.

....Cannonball:
I note your mention of the Kingman, Az. Airport storage of WWII warbirds....Yes, I learned of that as I was involved in doing some automotive testing in that area many years ago...In fact, some strange "old" birds...{not war birds}, were parked there back then. 3 Constellations....{4 engine passenger planes}, at one time. They had been scavenged of some parts but basically were still together....Believe some were missing an engine or so....Wonder what ever happened to them. I'm talking of a time frame of 1970.
And yes, I even saw photos of the Kingman airport with fields of war birds in place....

Ray, Thanks for the dessert;
just got through puting more items on all the grills, everybody make sure and get what you want, as there is plenty!!
(anyone that needs a "plate" for work tonight or tomorrow should have NO problem!!)
(Mookie, we've even put back some for you, especially the Chocolate Cake!)
(that cake wasn't mentioned on the menu for today, because...........)
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!!
To go along with CW's cake for dessert tonight, I am contributing 5 gallons of homemade, peppermint chip ice cream. Yum, yum!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!!!!!
The charcoal grills are fired up, and ready to go. One of them has burgers and hot dogs on them, another has steaks pork chops, chicken (breasts, drumsticks, thighs, and and another one as corn on the cob, taters, and assorted veggies on skewers. And there is another grill with a couple of beef roasts. (And there's already food on the warmer bar, staying nice and warm. And I didn't forget deviled eggs, baked beans, three and five bean salad, along with a few other goodies.
In the cooler, there is a variety of salads (Jell-O, potato salad, cole slaw, and a white cake w/white icing, with a blue field of blueberries, "red stripes of strawberries, and "white stripes" of Cool-Whip. Inside the DD/CS, all the tables have little American flags in the center, and the picnic tables have red & white tablecloths, with blue candles in the center of each table.
So everyone grab a plate or two, fill up, and head to your favorite table, or booth inside, or head on out to the patio!!
Ed; neat pic's, wish we had some here at the Jct.( 110deg. now) also there is a B 17G at Falcon field in Mesa Az. ( Sentimental Journey ) . Is that the one you saw?? A beautiful bird all sparkley & twinkley in the sun. A few yrs.past Falcon had a ME. 110 , but it was pranged beyond repair. This desert is home to many war birds . After WWII Litchfield Park was a scrapyard for aircraft as well as Kingman Az. Story & pic's in Ariz. Highways Mag. July 1946 . Have a cool 4th. Respectfully, Cannonball.
HAPPY 231st BIRTHDAY A M E R I C A !!!
Hope EVERYONE has a Very Safe and Sane one.
(be sure to be Here for the Cook-Out later!!)

If you can make hot dogs Chicago style (e.g, using a poppy seed bun with toppings of relish, mustard, a pickle spear, chopped onion, two tomato slices, two sport peppers, a sprinkling of celery salt on top) I'll take three of them! (Note the lack of ketchup; given so many toppings no wonder you don't need ketchup. )
Good Wednesday morning, and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!
Ted Marshall! Hope you return to the Diner more often! (No hair in the food around here: wear hair nets or caps to keep hair out of food. And everybody washes their hands very, very often!
Coffee, juice, tea, lemonade and ready and waiting for you.
On the breakfast bar, you will find cinnamon rolls, muffins in red, white and blue, along with doughnuts, danish and bear claws. Each item on the menu this morning has a little American Flag in their center.
Let all of us today remember why we celebrate Independence Day! Remember our Founding Fathers, and all the others who fought the fight for our Independence!!
Everyone have a safe morning, and hopefully, some of you all will be back in here around 1:30 EDT, when the first round of food will be ready to eat!!
......Remember why we celebrate today.
Here ya go. Where've you been? Haven't seen you in a while!
Happy 4th Everyone!
Same faces, same lousy service.
Coffee? I'll take mine with cream and sugar, in a clean cup, no hair please.
