Hi Flo, please could I have a white Coffee, nothing to eat thank you, I had my Tea about three hours ago.
Don’t worry, I’m going to spend some Money - in the Jukebox instead and yes I know it takes Tips as well.
I just played a song on the Tube that I haven’t listened to for a while, but I always recall the first time I ever heard, it bowled me over.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. John Denver,

Thank you indeed Paul for Mr. Denver’s reminder of years gone by! Most enjoyable!
This afternoon has seen the production and installation of more trees on my not as high, but quite rocky mountain.

Morning Diners, eggs on toast with a glass of OJ, please, Flo.
Im tracking my Order from the Trains.com Store (it hasn’t been shipped out yet). Me and Bobbie are doing some railfanning today on Southline District RO-Scale on Roblox at around 4. I might also live stream Fortnite gameplay since Star Wars is returning, and Fletcher Kane is planning something devious and having something to do with Diago
Aside from that, I’m also working on my own game on Roblox, it may be called MidWestern Terminal RO-Scale. I don’t know yet, but I’ll update as I go!
Found this in my Camera Roll of my Younger Sister Teagan
, she’s part British 
(since of my stepdad), but she is kind of into trains, she likes when I tell her about them before bed or before I go to work since I still live with my parents (its apart of our special bond since we are both Taurus’ and she was born 6 days before my birthday and we are the may babies of the family), She does infact have a favorite locomotive! - The EMD SD70MAC in CSX YN2 Paint - she chose it, and she likes the color scheme. And by the way, she says Hi to the rest of the Diners! 
At the moment, she’s 3 going on 4 (her birthday is May 5), and she’s pretty smart for her age (it’s kind of scary but really cool), but I ordered a set of EMD SD70MACs back in January (3 total) with 150 coal hopper cars for her layout since we share a layout. Once she’s old enough, she may join the Forum (I’ll announce when she joins the forum 
).
David, I hope Dawn is feeling better.

Morning diners, having a bad day .
Are you doing alright, @trainman90?
Just my bad back is acting up and my copd flair up
I hope your day starts to get better, though @trainman90
Good sunny morning from the left side.
Gabe, your sister looks like a real sweetie pie, how many brothers and sisters do you have?
John Denver was always a favourite to play for me and Rocky Mountain High was what I was asked to play more than any other song of his. It is a good workout for the twelve string.
The end of the month is coming into sight and we will need a new destination or topic for the Diner, so speak up if you have any ideas.
I have banged off just over 30kms in the last three days so may take a break today and get going on some yard work. We have some garden areas that need attention in the Spring and then require little work as the year progresses. We have just over an acre the is in grass, so I cut that, but the rest is treed with giant Redwoods, Fir, Cedar and Maple trees. The only time they need work is when one might come down in a storm and then it is a whole lot of chain sawing.
My care package from Firecrown is suppose to arrive today, however, tracking crapped out 4 days ago so who knows. The big question is, will it have made it through Customs without being tagged for duty and tax, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.
Time for the guitar with a second cuppa and the yard.
All the best to all.

Hi Gabe, please could you tell Teagan ‘Hi’ and that SD70MACs are my favourite Loco too, more especially when they are in Executive Livery.

Howdy diners! Flo, grilled ham & cheese and an ice cold Pepsi please.
Well, the work trip went off without a hitch, except that I forgot one of the receipts for dinner at the restaurant we ate at. Hopefully the company will still pay for it.
I tried to skim everything I missed in the diner, but if I missed responding to something, I apologize.
The moment of truth should be here soon. My oldest thought she would know by lunch today if she needs me to come down to finish moving her home, or if she can do it herself. Fingers crossed.
Some layout goodies came while I was gone, so that’s good. Hoping to get some time down with the trains this weekend, but Saturday looks rather busy, so it may be a challenge.
Hope everyone is doing okay.
Oops!

Hi Batman,
Gordon Lightfoot always sounds good too.
I wish my short, fat fingers could just handle my 6-string, let alone a 12.
