What is that supposed to mean??

I just watched a long BNSF string of covered hoppers move through the yard here in Sioux Falls, and it was northbound, possibly to Wilmar, Minnesota. The third engine in the consist was a NorfolkSouthern C40-9W, #8948. Interesting. Wish I had my trusty Nikon FE with me.

Didn't Elvis love PB&Banana sandwiches?

I could go for a good ol' hamburger with fries.  My 2 cents [2c]  That's enough, right?

As I recall, and has already been mentioned by another member, Elvis liked peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

...Jen:  Your comment of "Elvis is in the building", is funny as we have a {person}, locally {believe he is even a performer}, who has groomed himself to look like Elvis and you might have seen me write about our local restaurant {Bruner's}, in other posts recently....and he was just in there when Jean and I exited a day or two or so ago and she said to me when we left..."Elvis is in the building".  This one better be getting on a diet too....Maybe too much peanut better, etc....

If Evlis liked peanut butter & banana in his sandwiches, maybe he wasn't such a bad guy afterall. When my brothers and I were little kids we thought that the peanut butter & banana sandwich was an invention of Grampa Loftesness.

Peanut butter and cheese is one of my favorite sandwiches.  It's very filling and will keep you going, especially if you are working hard at something.  IMHO cheddar (not Kraft slices!  Yech!) and creamy PB work best.  My father does like creamy PB and swiss tho...but he'll eat almost anything!  Even Limberger (sp) cheese!  How about we do some burgers and fries for dinner?

Still no sign of the cat.  I'm starting to get a bit worried.  Even though the air temp is warm up here there is lots and lots of moisture on the ground.

......Ray:  Elvis self destructed in his last years but before that started to happen he could really perform...Really...!  Saw him live in Vegas many years ago at a dinner show at the then International Hotel and he never stopped for the over 2 hr. show....He worked his butt off on stage and brought down the audience time and time again...Still have the record that was provided to each of us in the dinner show.  What he could do was handle an audience and sing....  Did he ever....!!

Wow - get busy at work so I don't have time to check in from time to time and I've got three pages to catch up on!

Let me fill up my plate here....

Managed to catch a couple of GP38's bringing some autohaulers into the yard at my workplace.  Looked like a couple of stray hoppers finally caught up to their brethren, too - the rest showed up a couple of days ago and are almost all empty now. 

I'll be cleaning up my plate over in a booth by the window...

I'm spending my evening watching American Idol and jotting down some quick notes. I've started a blog on my website and while its main purpose will be for weather, I think I'll also do American Idol reviews. Nothing serious, just my thoughts from week to week.

Dan - I hope you find your kitty soon! One time we lost Chessie for a day and I was worried sick. It turned out that she was just under the porch, but we never allowed her outside again.

My old cat, when I was a kid, got caught in a neighbor's shed for a couple days.  He was hu-ungry when he came tearing back home.  We are glad that they decided to mow their lawn before going on vacation.

I'll take a hearty serving of baked beans, please.Big Smile [:D]

Hope you find your cat Dan. It is always stressful when a pet is missing.

 

For Breakfeast tomorrow I will provide OJ, Milk and lots of assorted cold cereal.  Hopefully some one else can stop in and cook up some warm food for everyone or else its cereal for everyone! I will be sneaking off early to study for school.- I'll try not to wake anyone when I leave.

Morning all!  Guess who was beating on the door this morning when I went to let the dogs out?  Chace!  Lord only knows where he is but no bite/scratch marks and he's a bit chilly and muddy.  I'm taking him to the vet later for a look over and bloodwork just to be safe.

Since he came home, and I'm in such a good mood...breakfast is up!  Today we've got OJ, AJ, and TJ, toast, pancakes and waffles, fruit, and home made cinnamon rolls!  It sure smells good so dig in!  If you don't...it'll be on the warmer bar, lol.

Ah....I am late, but it was nice.  I slept in until 5:30 this morning and just strolled down the road to the diner.  Driver is off today, so did rush into anything this morning.

Glad Chace is back.  We are always glad when our "family" is intact. 

I ate breakfast already, so will wait for lunch.  Maybe I will push a tuna can around a little and see what happens.....(hint - tuna & noodle)

Yawn....

Good morning everyone!  I brought a big can of corned beef hash.  Is there any grill space?  Chef [C=:-)]

Chace can have some too, since I bet he's hungry.

Good afternoon!

Not as nice today as it was yesterday. The high temperature was 55 degrees today compared to 80 degrees yesterday. It looks like in a week or two we could be looking at our first real thunderstorms/severe weather threat of the year in this part of the country, so I'm looking forward to that.

That's all the news I've got today, so I'm outta here. TTFN.
