I for one, am glad to hear that Cherokee Woman came through her knee surgery O.K. Judging from my own experience, the first 24 hours after any kind of an operation are the most critical. In April of 2002 I had surgery to correct a hernia and I really got sick coming off the anestetic (not sure of the spelling on that). Fortunately I had one of my sisters looking after me at her house. I hope the same does not happen to CW. My prayers are with her!

Hello Everybody ! It certainly has been quite a while since I've last visited. CSX surely has been keeping me busy lately.
Well it seems as though someone had a B-day yesterday.. Ray happy belated B-day hope it was a speacial one for you!!! Hopefully, u didn't eat too much cake.
I am sorry to hear of the absence of the dinner's great cook. BUT I am glad to hear that her surgry (sp) went well; glad to hear that CW is doing well!!! Way to go
WELL........I guess the new sign in the kitchen will read "DON'T miff the cook, or else foot will be applyed to butt" hehehehe
Joe, I think CW would tell you to send some of that her way, especially since she
couldn't have anything after midnight. (when I left, she had gotten some crackers
and Sprite) She's doing fine, (albeit somewhat groggy) seems to be in good spirits.
She did say; that after she "heals" and has the therapy, etc. she is going to be
practicing kicks a bit more often, so certain people should beware.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Mookie. Now, if I may ask, WHEN IS YOUR BIRTHDAY??
Since Cherokee Woman is going to be out of action for a while, I think I may at least show up in the Diner tomorrow with a pan of my cinnamon rolls, fresh from the oven and still warm!
Hanging out in Nags Head today. Probably go over to Kitty Hawk and check out Orville and Wilbur's digs. If you want to see how much air travel has advanced in the intervening years check this out. http://comics.com/wash/opus/index.html (look for the Sunday version)
Train travel can have its moments. Walked outside to kill a little time waiting for my checked bags to get into Washington Union Station and the alarms went off. Evacuation and lock down lasted about 10 minutes. Don't know if it was an "unattended" bag or what, but obviously there was no problem. A worker in the station told me "it" happens about every three or four months.
The AC on the east end told me that their westbound trip on the Capitol Limited the night before had more than just a little incident. A ways out of Cumberland, some braindead clown decided to use the ditch lights for target practise. Got the windshield on the locomotive too. The AC said he learned some new curse words from the engineer. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
All the best wishes to CW for a fast recovery.

// Trouble passes through, refills gatorjuice jug. Heads out to start survey for new 12 track SIT yard in NE Colorado, well behind asparagus barricade. BNSF Boise City sub was just nuts last night while we drove beside it. Five trains between Las Animas and La Junta in 20 minutes.
BossHen has talons crossed for CW (She may be next)...
Ray - belated Happy Birthday.
CW - Best wishes!
Joe - mmmphmmffmm yummy......
Tree - You started by sounding like "Guido" - "I rehung".....stopped me in my tracks a minute.
We might be able to use you, tho - went out to the double stall garage to get Millie this morning and the neighbor's sport VW is in there with a totally smashed out back window. Someone did some batting practice on it while it was out somewhere. Driver reassured me that it wasn't done in the garage. The car was ok Sunday afternoon, so sometime after that. A real wake-up call when you aren't quite awake yet for the day!
I checked on the Joe's Sloppies - they are delicious. I hope there is enough left for lunch...
Off to find trouble....

....51.6 here this morning and the sun is about to come in my east window here. To be sunny and dry at least thru Sunday. Temps in the 80's....Even up to upper 80's at times. Fall {Late Summer}, can be real nice here, even Oct. But we'll see.....
Quentin
good morning
juice coffee and rolls are ready for a monday.mookie your beagle is ready.we also have in the crock pots some sloppy joes for lunch.if someone would please put some fries or chips on about 11 30 that would be great.
stay safe(and don't make a mess)
Joe
31.5 here this morning. Worked on the railroad Saturday - fall colors are at about 30% and changing fast.
CW - see ya soon back here at the Diner - won't be the same without you. I might have to step up and cover a supper this week...
Rehung the daughter and son-in-laws front storm door today - tale about cheap construction (by the original builders - I only do quality home-handyman work.... )
On the way back from the railroad last night I was tooling along my usual route - a curvy, remote back road, but the shortest route - when what should appear crossing the road in front of me but mama black bear and three little ones. They hustled across the road, except the last little one. I stopped in plenty of time, but apparently the little one thought I was too close, turned back, and scaled a tree. I didn't wait around to see what mama would do.

TO ALL MY FORUM FAMILY:
Thank you for all your kind words and best wishes. Hopefully, whenever I do make it back here, I won't find this buried about 10 or more pages back!! I want you all to keep things going in here!!
So long, for now. . .

, Ray!
And, in case for some reason I don't get back to the forum later today, God Bless you and your surgeons tomorrow, CW.
I'll take a burger or three, please...

SactoGuy, you are more than welcome to join us for dinner. I am sure that CW and Locomutt will see to it that there will be plenty of hamburgher patties to go on the grill!
Yes, Sacto, there will be plenty of hamburgers, so you can have some later this evening. Mutt just now took the first round of burgers, dogs, brats, etc., off the grill (including grilled corn on the cob, and fresh grilled veggies). They are now on the warmer bar, along with baked beans, and on the portable cooler bar, you will find potato salad, cole slaw, and Jell-O salads. JUST LEAVE ROOM FOR BIRTHDAY CAKE.
As you will notice, the cake is different from the usual 1/2 sheet cakes I usually have. This one is a chocolate masterpiece of three layers. Each layer is chocolate w/chocolate icing, with peppermint sticks that have been "shaved", and sprinkled all over the cake.
I'll be back in later on this evening, to bid "farewell" to everyone, for a little while. Supposed to come home next Thursday, with a knee immobilizer on the knee, so it's going to a a little bit hard for me to get to the ole computer cart and our computer.
.....That Richmond fire was a pretty nasty, big one Joe....Saw some excerpts from it on Indy TV last night. Looked sizeable.
jackets and sweaters yes it was in the mid 30's this morning.CW thanks for lunch and supper.will keep you in our prayers and try to keep the diner clean for you.I got my container for work tonight.time to go back to work.

RAY!!! Hope it's a Great One!!!!
I'll have the grills going in just a bit so they can be ready.
[jackets or sweaters might be in order due to semi cooler temps. here]
Breakfast here looks mighty good to me! I think I'll grab a plate of pancakes or a waffle or two before I head for church this morning. Thanks for fixing breakfast for all of us, CW.
To the few of you who have wished me a happy birthday, I owe you a BIG thank you!
Tomorrow is the BIG day for CW, she is going to have her right knee rebuilt. I will light a candle in silent prayer for her while I am in church this morning. This is sort of a tradition in the Episcopal Church.
I will be back later this afternoon for a couple burghers off the grill and some birthday cake.
Today is also the birth date of the late James J. Hill, the founder of the Great Northern Railway. I think maybe I should add the Great Northern to my modeling interests, as well as the Burlington Route and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Are there any other Great Northern fans out there??
Oy! Someone was up early making breakfast. 4:45 am.
Thanks for the breakfast. Loved the waffles and of course the cinnamon rolls.
Ray
Hope you have time between all your celebrating to stop in and say hi to all your friends here at the diner. Have a wonderful day.

I just hopped over to the webcam in time to see the nose of the lead unit of a train come into the screen headed towards Clinton, Ill. Boy i love having high speed internet. This is definitly one of the perks of college.
