Good Friday morning to all. Looks like it's going to be another good, sunshiny day. We're supposed to get to a high around 70 today. Then, rain late tonight, through early Saturday morning.
Coffee is ready, along with fresh juice, hot chocolate, and hot tea.
On the warmer bar, you will find bear claws, chocolate covered doughnuts, including the cream filled, chocolate covered longjohns, strawberry, apple and cherry danish, and pecan rolls, and cinnamon rolls w/cream cheese icing. (Mookie, I've got a bib and a warm damp washcloth, so you don't get any stuck to your fur and paws.)
Everyone have a great morning, and please be back for our FRIDAY FISH FRY.

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").
Got 40º here, but the frozen snow is being slow to respond. Supposed to be a string very early spring like temperatures for the next several days so perhaps some ground will begin to appear.
I gave some thought to going down to Rochelle Sunday. It would be nice to have a visit and watch some trains, but with the business going strong, we still need the day for some R&R. (Read that a long afternoon nap.)
I'll take coffee to go.

Sorry I am late - I was shopping......I got my hair and nails done - and l___l bought a new purse..... I should be able to carry most anything I want and use it as a garage for Millie if needed!
CW - may I have a cheeburger and Matt's fries, a chocolate frost and DF - you are right - it is a very nice day!
Mookie!

Lovely purse Mookie! What color could be better than lime green?
It is indeed a very nice day. It almost feels warm out compared to what it has been lately. Next Monday or Tuesday our temperatures could approach 70 before it cools down again late next week.
I hope everyone has a good day, and remember: TGIF!

Isn't he just the nicest young man to compliment me on my purse! I am afraid there are some young citizens out there that would just say - "what's in the bag, hag!"......
Now I am all twitter-pated.....
Mookie, I couldn't agree with you more: Willy is the nicest young man, AND complimenting you on your new purse, too! BTW, I like it myself. Does is come in blue? That's my favorite color. Maybe in a robin egg blue, perhaps, for spring.
On the FRIDAY FISH FRY menu: cod, perch, halibut, haddock, jumbo butterfly shrimp, hushpuppies, fries, and Mookie's personal lunch request.
Desserts: pecan pie, apple pie, peach pie, and cherry pie, chocolate cake w/chocolate frosting, and white cake w/white frosting.

How about this one - I got it at a "garage" sale....(It is a little bigger than mine, so hunt for a Hummer to put in it!)(does Mutt Humm?)
I think I will have some perch, shrimp and fries.
For some good dinnertime disscussion everyone should stop in at the Railroad DNA thread. It is an interesting topic.
Have a nice day everyone.

(PSSST - BNSF - You may see someone alongside the tracks with a very large purse. Keep close track of your engines lest one fit inside....)
Hmmmm.... Fish and chips....

I am sure now that BNSF knows what to look for if they happen to find any of their GE's missing
I think I want fries ..mass quantities of fries.I'll come back for fish later
Got the next round of fish, fries, hushpuppies, shrimp, etc. ready and waiting on the warmer bar. Cold dishes are in the cooler. Duff, got plenty of fries, so help yourself!!
Just heard our high for today: 73 degrees, after a low of 33 this morning. When I went to the store awhile ago, everybody and their grandmother was out enjoying the warm air and sunshine!
Dinner was delish!
Got home from work and Santa had been here! Wait - that's Christmas. Must have been the package delivery guy. Not one, not two, but THREE packages! One turned out to be the wrong part, so I gotta send it back. The second contained a nice mug with a funny looking "swoosh" mark on it, and the third held a very nice Adlake tin switchman's lantern (clear globe). My "modern" antique. It'll get put to good use this fall on the "Polar Express." Ordered it directly from the source, and a good deal cheaper than through one of those rail-oriented mail-order houses.
Wonder if that mug will "swoosh" my tea around by itself if it's too hot....

Dinner was good, but I did get slightly offended at the.................... No, won't go
there, that joke's "Too Old"!!
That "second package" sounds very much like one we got the other day; and if it is, and
from the same place...............Nope, you gotta "swoosh" it around manually!!

If you feel up to it after the nap, Jay, head on down- we should be there until around 7 PM with the time changeover.
I think I'll take a late late night snack of some fries along with Duff. I hope its sunny tomorrow they are predicting rain for the afternoon.
Also I hate to sound stupid, but what are hushpuppies? My family doen't have fried food that much, so I am a bit ignorant on the subject.
Hope the weather is good for all you guys out east.
Been working on a special project for a friend tonight. Needed to stop and take a break to let me hands loosen , so I decided to check out the forums. Saw your question about hushpuppies, Emma.
Brian, you hit the answer on the spike head: hushpuppies are nothing more than cornbread, shaped into balls, and deepfried. And they have little pieces of onion in them.
Everyone have a great evening (what's left of it here on the east coast), and I'll see you all tomorrow.
Hushpuppies are bigger than donut holes. But yeah they are round deep fried cornbread things LOL.
Depends on the establishment, I either like them or don't.
How about some more ketchup with those fries? I think I will order some more. mmm Ranch dressing sounds good with them as well.
Wow! Guess I am first one in here. I grabbed the first dozen doughnuts from the Dave Thomas look-a-like pastry guy. I am making coffee and going to lie down in the corner booth for a while. Oh! Some one is already there. OK I lie down over there.
ill have a doughnut or 5 and some coffee by the fireplace with the oldies turnd down low not to wake spokyone
good saturday morning
juice coffee and cinnamon rolls are made.today is the day we are going to get the "BIG" train up on the train board.dont forget about pizza tonight and dont forget to spring ahead tonight too.hey modelcar di they ever settle which counties in indiana are going to change with ohio yet?
Good Saturday morning, all! Bob, thanks for the doughnuts, and putting on the first pot of coffee. And Joe, thanks for putting on the second pot, and making cinnamon rolls. Getting a nice, gentle rain this morning. But the temp is very pleasant out.
Joe, you're very correct with your PSA: everyone, please
DON'T FORGET TO SPRING FORWARD ONE HOUR BEFORE GOING TO BED TONIGHT!!!!
We don't want anyone showing up an hour late for anything tomorrow morning!! Since we're doing this THREE WEEKS EARLY this year, I hope everyone's computers automatically adjust.

I think I heard on the news the other morning that there's one county in Indiana that's springing ahead TWO hours...
As far as I'm concerned, the jury's still out on whether this is a good idea or not. They claim it will save electricity (less power used for lights in the evening). I do like having more daylight time in the evening to utilize, and I do like the fact that the earlier date has less of a chance of falling on Easter weekend (sunrise service after springing ahead is a killer). I don't like the fact that we're going to work in the dark again.
