Nice night here - if a tad cool. Beats the hot and humid when it comes to sleeping, for sure.
CW - Watch that diet - no fun not being able to sit down…
VACATION! Off tomorrow through next Sunday! Several days on the railroad, and several days to get caught up on everything else in my world.
Daughter called tonight to see about borrowing the Digital Rebel to shoot a friend’s wedding in August. Apparently it’s a real low-budget affair and the posed pictures would have been catch as catch can by the guests. Laura can give her a CD with lots of great images. Works for me. At least I know the camera is in good hands.
The Dalmatian is getting restless. Time for a walk.
Good Friday morning, everyone. RANDY STAHL!!! So nice that you came by yesterday!! You should drop in a see us more often. You can email your colonoscopy stories, and I’ll definitely read them!!
Larry, believe it or not, I’m not really having any trouble sitting down. I remember nothing: they gave me some great pain medication before. If I remember correctly, one was Darvon, and I’d never heard of the other pain med, so I can’t remember that name.
On the breakfast bar this morning: doughnuts (all shapes, sizes, creamed filled, vanilla filled, etc., muffins (strawberry, blueberry, apple-raisin), and bear claws.
Everyone have a good Friday, and if you’re getting rain showers, be careful out there!!
Yawn…was so tired last nite - took a shower and brushed my fangs with my eyes closed the entire time. Took two Tylenol and died for almost 7 hours. I think I can almost make it over to the coffee pot.
CW - welcome to the Metamucil group! [#welcome]
She forgot to tell you that I woke her up this morning with a paw to the eyelid. She had fallen asleep in the hammock and everyone knows that if you gently tap your paw on someone’s eyelid, it will eventually open and that leads to food…
heat and humidity are gone.very nice this morning.matt and i are going to get chores done then go hunt for mookie engines.CW glad you are feeling better.
Send some of that spare water this way please! ( The yard, even with a daily watering, is burning up in places…Near 100 all weekend)
Denver Zephyrs? (Know about the Colorado Springs SkySox, …but Zephyrs?..thought they played in old Mile High Stadium before the Bears)…Minor league clubs in suburban Denver and Pueblo (Runyon Field) have failed recently. Is this the Ft. Collins outfit? The Rockies might as well be a minor league outfit lately.
Now, on to our FRIDAY FISH FRY!! On the menu today: catfish, cod,haddock, hallibut, flounder, perch, rainbow trout, and whitefish. Also on the warmer bar, along with the fish, you will find: fries, corn on the cob, baked beans. and hush puppies. On the cooler section, cole slaw and the following desserts: apple, blueberry, cherry, chocolate, peach and pecan pies. Ice cream is in the freezer.
A Google search said that in 1984 the Denver Bears became the Denver Zephyrs. I couldn’t find an official Denver Zephyrs website, however.
In other news… the big talk in Omaha today is that we might have a Billion Dollar expressway built that will circle the city and ease congestion on the Interstates through Omaha. Of course, this means that taxpayers will need to dig a bit deeper into their pockets.
Another nice day today. Highs in the lower 80s, light winds, and low humidity. Of course it still won’t rain, but the cooler conditions should keep the crops healthy for a bit longer.
Everything is ready and waiting on the warmer/cooler bar for tonight’s FRIDAY FISH FRY. So everyone just come on over and grab a plate and fill’er up!!
Everyone have a good/great evening, and be careful.
CW thanks for the fish fry.csx q200 (autoracks) was waiting for q 159(stacks) to get by st. Joe indiana.after he passed they started up and they got a broken coupler.held up traffic for awhile.the crew did their best to get the major roads unblocked.we also saw hlcx 7149.it was a former mookie engine(bnsf) engine that used to run on natural gas if i remember correctly.
Hmmm. Haven’t had perch in ages. Some fries on the side and we’re set!
Starting the “summer season” tomorrow - first train at 10, on duty at nine, have to be out of the house by seven, and I want to get there early besides. Better get to bed soon.
With the Fourth coming up (Sunday is Canada Day, for our friends to the north!), I want to get some flags and bunting on the RS-3. Should look sharp!
As much as we’d like a nice weekend (and next week, too - I’m on vacation), we do need some rain. Maybe some nice overnight showers, with blue skies to wake up to…
