Guess I'm having german tater-salad or I'm having tater-salad. LC strikes again!
Grampa Tree, hope you've got the grill ready, and LC, hope your steam pot's ready, because here is tonight's menu:
German potato salad (per mudchicken's request), burgers, steaks, and 'baked' taters on the grill, 5 bean salad, Monte Cristo for Duff's husband John, clams courtesy of LC, and there are plenty of fries going in the deep fryers.
Joe and Lance, have containers in the fridge, ready for you two to take to work tonight.
There's plenty of sweet tea, lemonade, unsweetened tea, and soft drinks, so hopefully everyone will be satisfied tonight.
Larry, congratulations on the new addition-to-be to your family!!

Hope that means it isn't Monday all week back there!
Send us some of those 80's and some rain please. Colorado is now at tinderbox stage.

We have had some great weather for the last week or so. Highs around 80 or less, low humidity and plenty of sun.
I don't know about anybody else, but I was counting on not missing any days this week, especially since Wednesday is a national holiday. Does Willy have a better forecast? LOL

Perhaps German Potato Salad and 5 bean salad? I'll bring a couple bags of clams and the steamer pot too...

I'll take one of those burgers!
Got a great call from the son this morning, with two bits of good news. Biggest was that the test results are in and it'll be "Grampa" Tree early next year. No early word on boy or girl (or preferences), so that bit of suspense will have to wait.
His other news was that he passed his final physical for sheriff's deputy and will begin the academy this summer. He's been around public safety for years, so this isn't a stretch for him.
I'm still recovering from the weekend on the railroad - two l-o-n-g days. After the regular runs Saturday I helped set up the train for a special evening run (I couldn't work it - HOS would have kicked in), then on Sunday, after the regular runs, we had to set up the train for Wednesdays train robberies (added three cars). Of course, that probably means I'll have to help take those three cars back off the train Wednesday....
But, I'm on vacation this week. Time to work on my list of things I haven't had time to do all spring...
It's summer - let's do steaks, baked (on the grill) potatoes, and salads (your choice) for supper! I've got the grill!

mmm! Cw roxks, I will have some burgers..little one will just have mommy's milk. John wants a Monte Cristo...ewwww! Fries, and Pepsi for me, Sweet Tea and fries for John, and of course little one will have.......mommy's milk on the side
I promised pics of what we did with her rooom so here they are. I loved the purple that I saw at the hardware store, and decided to paint her room that same color. It just worled!
yes the afghan is getting some use, I had to take it to a friend so she could mend it, it unraveled . She fixed it though, so now it's fine
Lastest of me and her.
Here's today's lunch menu:
1. Mookie's request: brats & sauerkraut
2. LC's request: lobster rolls
3. CW's request: burgers/cburgers w/fries
Lunch will be ready and on the warmer bar at 12 noon EDT sharp.
Any requests for supper tonight?!?!

Good Monday morning! FINALLY able to get in the door!! I was trying to get in at 6:15 EDT, and could not get the doors open!! Just about broke both hands trying to get in here, to no avail. Joe and Mookie, so glad you all were able to make it in!
To go along with the coffee, juice and lemonade, on the breakfast bar, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries and blueberries.
good morning
see mookie kicked the door in there is a little mark on the wall.will get some juice coffee and lemonade ready quick.the gatorade is ready to go too.had to go get matt from grandmas office(other folks are on vacation).the Maw has painted up their former IC unit a bit.wonder if the paint found their sante fe unit too.
time for a nap.
Grumble, grumble - they updated my puter over the weekend and had to come in a back window to get in here!
Randy! Cheap drunk! I was given demerol one time many years ago - and boy can I see how you could easily get hooked on drugs! That was very nice!
Well - how much wood can a woodchuck chuck? I asked, but he didn't say a word. So we will never know. But he saw his shadow and it didn't scare him as much as seeing us did!
I don't think we are known for our woodchucks or groundhogs - altho we do have Unadilla Bill here for Feb 2. We saw a real one yesterday. He/she was there watching trains with us. Very nice looking specimen, too!
So that makes one rabbit, one fox, one turkey, two kestrels, one woodchuck and numerous pigeons, blackbirds, sparrows and one driver that I have seen. Busy watch site!
Off to terrorize the forum! Driver on vacation this week - he is terrorizing the fish!

Well I'm disappointed this evening! The Space Shuttle Atlantis flew into Omaha on top of a 747 this afternoon and hardly anybody had any idea that it was coming in due to security concerns. What really makes me mad is that our house is directly under the usual flight path for planes coming into Omaha/Offutt when winds are out of the south, which they were today. I guess I just didn't happen to be outside at the right time. I usually hear the planes coming in, but hardly ever look out the window at them, so for all I know I might have heard the 747 but paid no attention. And of course this is a once in a lifetime experience since the space shuttles are going to be retired over the next couple of years and it's extremely rare that they come into Omaha for fuel anyway. In fact, the last time this happened was in 1985. I just can't believe it!
That was my rant for the day. Otherwise it was a decent day so I shouldn't complain too much.
I guess I'm the only person to notice that we have a new visitor to the Diner. Welcome to the Diner, Trainhooked!

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Howdy doody all! Just got back from an unintended railfanning trip. I was headed out to fish when I heard the sound of some EMD's working hard and headed near the tracks by the 1899 bridge in town. Sure enough a pair of SD40-3's came rumbling by headed north. So then I said "Self-lets head to Neenah. I have a feeling it'd be worth it."
It was. I got about 10-12 different roster type shots of engines (my favorite railfanning thing to get!), saw about 6 or 7 trains and met a couple of locals that I didn't know. All in all a neat day! My shots should be up perhaps on my website or on www.locophotos.com later today or tomorrow. On Locophotos search by photog: Braun, Dan.
I'll sit in the shade for a while and count coup...what a surprisingly nice day!
Duff; ~~ Breastfeeding the little one does not offend any normal person. The ones who have issue with that don't know the true meaning of mothering . I don't git offeneded at all. Thank you for your concern . I just got back from runnin' the road and stopped by the Diner . Before I forgit , Ms. Sadie is just beautiful , firey red hair and all . ~~~ ( I betcha Jesus was not bottle fed ). Respectfully , Cannonball another Jim
Joe, already got plates made for you and Lance, to take to work tonight!! And, you know me: there's plenty of everything for everyone!
And yes, I have enough hamburger, steaks, pork chops, country style ribs, chicken, corn on the cob, and everything else we'll need for our 4TH OF JULY/INDEPENDENCE DAY PICNIC!! Everybody will probably be sick of the fare, by the time Friday night rolls around.
CW do you have plenty for some csx railroaders?dispatcher told them to get a coffee at hicksville because garrett is clogged again.I will take a #1 for supper tonight.got to go back to work.
Joe
Good Morning!
It's a very beautiful morning here in Omaha. It looks like it's going to get hot again for July 4th, though.
Did some train watching yesterday. I saw four trains, but there was nothing special about any of those trains. Just coal and grain.
Well, I think I'll go investigate what's happening in the rest of the forum. TTFN.

2. Meat loaf, green beans w/onions and potatoes cooked together, corn on the cob and creamed corn.
I am definitely coming over for this one!
By the way, shouldn't we be getting the supplies ready for the big Fourth of July barbecue here at the diner?
Good Sunday morning, everyone. Joe and Bob, thank you so very much for getting breakfast ready this morning! I just can't seem to get going this morning. Feeling a little bit under the weather this morning, for some strange reason. Just hit me, all at once. Think it's sinus drainage. But I will get through the day!!
For our Sunday Dinner, at around 1 p.m EDT, you will have your choices of:
1. Fried Chicken w/mashed taters, gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, green beans, corn on the cob, cole slaw.
3. Pork chop abracadadbra w/your choice of potatoes, savory herb stuffing, broccoli w/cheese sauce and garden salad.
Everyone have a great day, and enjoy the trains, or whatever else you decide to do today!
