Rest easy, good friends....

Yep, he sure does. Now that the day is over, it's time to take down our flag.
Staying dry, Ed?

I was just driving by and thought I would drop in and snag some lefto-overs from the long wekend. (Takes several pieces of Brian's cake, leaving many more for the cat.)
With travel over two weeks, followed by a wedding and a week's vist from son Russ and his family, haven't had much time for chit-chat. Memorial Day weekend is the time of the annual club soccer tourney hear in town. I think it is something like 120 teams-all ages- participating. Matt's back home for the summer buddies got together to participate. In spite of the fact that they had not played since a year ago last fall they did very well against organized club teams. After that game the Delavan High School Girls team won their game in the second round of the state championship series. They have an outstanding season record of 23-0, but now face formidable competition from the big city schools.
After sending our Saturday's rain down to Indianapolis, Sunday came on bright and clear. Went down to Naperville, IL to spend some time with my son Greg and his girlfriend. The girls went shopping while we took a stroll along the river walk. Linda said the shops were great. Sounds like a pretty good set-up. Next time she can shop and I'll go down the road a bit and hang out at Eola Yard.
Got about a three week backlog on chores and projects around here. I'll stop again when I come up for air.

About mid day I went out to niece's farm to draw 15 gallons of drinking water from her well. Well, a sudden downpour got me good when I was out in the open. I did not look as good as Ashley Judd did yesterday at Indy.
Great lunch CW. Thanks
Latest report from Iowa- we now have bright sunshine, and the humidity and temp are on the rise as a result. Currently 81.5 degrees.

No need to worry, Joe: that's why I made a full sheet cake! I've also made some chocolate cupcakes, with red, white and blue icing on them, with decorations befitting Memorial Day.
There are several plates made up and in the fridge, for you Joe and Lance. And as for everyone else, the next go around of gooooood food is on the warmer bar. I'll let the grills cool down, and in about two hours, I'll be starting grilling again, for our friends on the West Coast. The roasts are done, and they are also on the warmer bar, along with replenished warm and cold side dishes.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, EVERYONE!!

WOW, what a spread. I don't know what to load up on first!
Thanks, guys!
I would've suggested the proper number of candles, but since Larry isn't around with his fire extinguisher, the single candle is just fine by me...
Well, I'm back from the kitchen. Been working all morning long, especially on a SPECIAL PROJECT for today. Just want to say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIAN HANEL!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIAN, and may it be the BEST birthday so far, for you!!!!
Good morning everyone.
Don't forget to use the Big Green Egg to make the roasts--it comes out really delicious.
Good Monday morning, everyone! How is everyone this morning? All right, I hope!
Bob, thank you for bringing in the big grill! Yes, it can be used today, along with the other grill we have. We'll get those babies fired up around 10:30, and start cooking/grilling.
Joe, thank you for getting the coffee going, making fresh juice, and for the rolls! Also, thank you for making some hamburger patties for lunch. You did a great job!!
I see the Indy 500 had a "Ky. connection" winner yesterday, with Ashley Judd's husband winning. She might have been soaked from all the rain there, but she sure looked very proud of her hubby.
While you all eat your breakfast, think I'll "hide out" in the kitchen, preparing the rest of the side dishes for today's cookout. Thankfully, I took out steaks, chops, hot dogs, and even a roast or two, from the freezer to the fridge, to thaw for today. Need to get started getting everything prepared, all the veggies washed, etc.
See ya later!
good morning
look at this big green thing over here! thats a big grill! juice coffee and rolls are ready.I have made some hamburger patties for lunch today.time to get cleaned up and go to our local paprade.
joe
Good late evening everyone.
(Hauls in large-size Big Green Egg barbecue grill)
Can we use this grill to make steaks, chops, burgers and fries for the Memorial Day cookout? It's probably the best grilling unit in the world, no contest.
Spokyone: Yes, we've been under the threat of rain as {just a possibility in some areas} for several days now and tomorrow and even beyond. So glad they eventually got it to an official finish.
On the girl drivers....Would have liked to see all three of them finish. I understood that Danaca had the best equipment and a car even good enough to actually win...But the pit stops and rain situation there right before they called it finished, got her shufled back a bit. She was sitting in 2nd position for a while right before all that happened.
I would really liked to see her win....That would have really set the whole event on it's "ear" so to speak....Probably would have been good for the franchise. But it was not to be. Although, her 7th place finish is nothing to be ashamed of.
I've had a busy day with racing.....That race, I {had to get info from radio}, and during rain delay was in here on this thing and got some more info, as I mentioned earlier, even direct video {live}, here on the computer, as it was raining.
Then I had to get into the World 600....and....then another sport event: The Cleveland Cav's against the Detroit Pistons....{NBA}....Hardly had time to do anything else this afternoon and evening....I did take a time out to get a bit of exercise and rode my bike through our addition a bit for a break....Then right back at the TV....ha.....

hello
well on and off rain here in nw ohio.but not too bad.going to be a nice day tommorow for memorial day. went to deshler for our derf(chicken) bbq.good stuff. csx had a lot of 40-8s running around.they also had 1 bnsf greenie 8077 pulling a train by itself today.tommorow matt and i are going to our local memorial day parade and some local trainwatching too.
ps hey brian the cnw unit i think was roaming in iowa today if i heard them right in deshler did you see it?
Gorgeous day here today. Got the lawn all spiffed up for the holiday tomorrow.
Hey Larry, did you see the PM I sent you?
I'd catch some supper here, but I ate across the street from our station (on the RRs dime) and I'm full...
Aside from some minor "opening day" problems, things are going great so far - we've had good crowds, so it's been worth our while. Only real problem is that the PA isn't working, which makes it hard to narrate - and people like the narration. Turns a ride through woods into something much more interesting.
Back on the rails tomorrow.

.....Must update my comment on track "driers"......I just saw 2 of the units being pulled by trucks with them on their own trailers. Had not seen them before as I was watching the "action" of rain....
Again witnessed this action here on the computer as our Indy TV coverage is "blacked out".
