Dan, should we all "Chip In" and get you a set of "Training Wheels"?
Good Luck, you'll do well. (personally, the only "two wheelers" I like to ride;
are bicycles!!)
Willy, Good Luck on getting your permit! That's a great start for learning MUCH MORE responsibility, and having some freedom at your age.
(just learn how to use a "Standard Shift" also, there are too many people in this "Day & Age"
that can't drive a "stick"!)

Okay everyone, the next round of spaghetti, etc., is on the warmer bar, for tonight's supper. Joe, got containers for you and Lance, ready and waitin' in the fridge.
Wow - busy weekend. Had to be at work at 0330 Saturday (did I already say that?), so spent the rest of the day resting up for my shift at PBS. Six half hour camera shifts and still had time to buy a CD set of folk-rock music. Good listenin'!!!
Sunday I got a little work done around the house before heading back to the TV station. Today it was work, and a meeting tonight, then work tomorrow and back to the TV station again.
Note to self - Stop and take a breath.....
Still studying for rules classes on Saturday and Sunday - then I'll be a real railroader....

I am so glad the chicken is back, I will have CW serve the new purple as-pra-gus!
Mooks is afraid of heights, so must contract out the net! Did you show your flying license instead of your drivers license at Dulles?
BNSF must have been early celebrating your return - they ran everything they had all nite. Nothing to watch all day Sunday!

Dan, I think I made enough of everything for an army (or half a batallion), so there's PLENTY of everything on today's menu for EVERYBODY!!
As for cold beverages, we have the usual soft drinks, iced tea (sweetened & unsweetened), lemonade, limeade, fruit punch, grape Kool-Aid. So, everyone just fill your plates, and fill your tummies!!
Morning all. I'll take whatever's warm and has meat in it. Any cold liquid is good, too. I've been on the go for 8 hours already with 6 more to go. CW I hope you make lots for lunch...cuz I'm gonna load up my plate!
Dan
CW, if you would like a little help in making spaghetti sauce, I will gladly do it for you. I made myself a pot of spaghetti sauce yesterday afternoon and it smelled so good while it was simmering in my crock pot. I might even e-mail my recipe to you and Mutt.
Ray CANADIANPACIFIC2816
Working on the lunch menu for today: you'll have your choice of: spaghetti w/meatballs, sghetti w/meat sauce, garlic Texas toast, garlic bread, made from scratch beef noodle casserole, and there will be plenty of garden tossed salads and strawberry Jell-O w/diced peaches in it, and some homemade oatmeal-raisin cookies, chocolate chip cookies, brownies w/chopped nuts.
Jen.....Oh, those are the programs I love on TV....Sometimes I catch them by chance. Have not seen the one of moving the bridge but will keep a lookout for it as a rerun in the future.
Right after I retired in the past decade, I witnessed a large building constructed of masonary, and wood construction being moved here in Muncie at Ball State Un. grounds, to down the street and they had to negoticate a 90 degree turn on a street {after cutting down a few trees, moving some utilities, etc....That was exciting....and I had the free time to be present {with camera}, for several days to watch...What fun....Even was interviewed by a local radio station as to what I found so interesting, etc....They {the movers}, were successful and got it placed about a 1000' away to it's new location and perfect position right over it's new foundation. It {basement}, was filled with sand until the building was rolled in place and then the sand removed out of the basement and so on....

We had a fantastic weekend here in CR, so much so that I am extremely stiff and sore this morning. Alot of that is due to spending time UNDERNEATH our bedroom addition Saturday (crawl space), ripping out wet insulation thanks to a leak in our shower drain. Yesterday was spent ringing handbells at church, then mowing the jungle and preparing for and hosting a social for our small group from church.
I'm looking forward to Friday- my wife has a training meeting over in Bellevue that she needs to attend, but she can't drive herself with her bum knee, so I'm taking the day off to chauffeur. While she works, I get to hang around the Dubuque area, camera at the ready...

morning
quiet night at work which is good.Randy sorry to hear about your job.willy good luck on your driving and watch out for other people.here in ohio they have laws about when and how many teens can be in the car at the same time.
Good thing my teeth are in good shape - My face disappears regularly behind a yawn! Makes typing hard to do.
Quentin - I saw probably an old show on Extreme Movers - they moved a truss bridge in KCMO to Union Station - from over the railroad tracks yesterday. Saw UP, BNSF, NS and Triple Crown - is that the one?
Very impressive.
Must find some coffee.....
Mook
Good Monday morning, to everyone. I hope everyone had a very good weekend. Let's hear about your weekend. Ours was very quiet, hardly anything going on around here.
Coffee and hot tea are ready, along with fresh squezzed o.j.
Regular breakfast menu is ready and waiting on the warmer bar.
Everyone have a good morning, and I'll see you all later, after I get totally awake.

Good luck on learning how to drive, Willy. I've only been doing it since I was about eight or nine on the farm, and have never owned a car with an automatic. In about a month I'll be training for my Class A CDL, and will go drive semi for a living. Had to get a backup plan because of possible layoffs where I currently work, and now my truck is having problems, anyone out there familiar with the Bosch VP44 injection pump?
Got up to 84 today, took the opportunity to walk along the shore of lake Monona and take some pics of the Madison skyline, hopefully will send some out shortly if anyone wants any.
See everyone later.

LC, here's your mushroom & cheese omlette.
I've put some snacks out on the counter: Sunday Dinner won't be ready unitl about 2:30 EDT: I'm getting ready to fire up the gril, for a cookout this afternoon. I've got steaks, burgers, brats, hot dogs, pork chops in marinades right now; also fixing cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, green beans, and brocolli casserole. And we'll also have corn on the cob, and grilled chicken quarters. All the regular list of desserts are on for today.
Can anyone think of anything I've forgotten on our cookout list? If so, PLEASE remind me!!
Can I put in a request for a mushroom and cheese omlette?
Cloudy skies here in the east. At least trees are finally starting to bud out here. Can't wait for real greenery.
