Evenin’ everyone. What a beautiful day it’s been. We’ve been out in the front yard, working. Walt trimmed the small burning bush, the rose bush, and the holly bush. I picked up the pieces, and put them in a garbage bag, and Sarah trimmed the high spots. Now, she’s washing the Jeep. And I have our supper on the stove, here at home: my own version of Hamburger Helper Beef Noodles.
Tom and Joe, thanks for taking care of the move! Everything looks great, and it looks like you all managed to get everything moved, including all the layouts, the rockers, hammock, juke box and CD/tape player. And Joe, thanks for arranging the cubbards.
Everyone have a terrific evening, and I’ll see you all in the morning. Then, we’ll be getting ready to meet Bob and Barb. Take care!!
Joe, pictures of the Chessie/C & O stuff would be nice, maybe you put them over on Face Book…
Hopefully the electricity won’t go off before I hit “Post” this time!
Nice digs. Time for bed, though, so I’ll just have to check things out in the morning…
We hit 80 degrees for the first time since September 27th here in Omaha today. It felt wonderful, if not a little too warm.
I’ll need to dig into my bag of tricks and see what I can come up with for April Fool’s Day.
Good Thursday morning, everyone, and Happy April’s Fool Day! (Hopefully, no one will be playing any April Fool jokes on us! It is going to be a really beautiful day today: plenty of sunshine, and nice, warm skies. We have a current temp of 64 degrees, and I hear the birds a singing outside.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages fresh and ready to go. Plenty of hot water for our hot tea drinkers.
On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits and gravy, and there’s several kinds of cereal on the counter.
We are really looking forward to meeting Bob Vaughn and Barb! Can hardly wait. So, I’ll leave some sandwich fixings for you all to have for lunch today. And please let me know what you’d like to have tonight for supper. Maybe we can fire up the grills this evening?
Everyone enjoy your morning, have a great day, take care, and keep safe.

shut that bag and stop it! (WILLY!)
My visit at the quack’s office went well, even if I did misread the time and showed up an hour early… He said I should make it through tomorrow, at least and I said that was fine. I have been spending some quality time with my girls, and some on the wireless. It could be a good week except for one thing… At present, 84 and sunny in Carolina with more of the same scheduled for tomorrow. We’d better enjoy this whilst we can, cuz before long, it will be HOT!
Willy got his April fool joke on facebook and caught us unawares. Shame, Willy. Bad boy, bad boy!
Everyone take care and enjoy the weather
Tom, it’s good to know that your dr. visit came out well.
Willy, I haven’t seem facebook yet, but if I go by what Mookie and Tom posted here, shame on you!!![;)]
We have been home about 45 minutes, and had a very enjoyable time with the two Bs. Walt took a couple of pictures, and he’ll be posting them, probably sometime this evening. Right now, he’s ridden his bike to the library. Took back books he’s finished reading, and probably bring more books home! It was so very nice to meet Bob and Barb. Two very fine people. Wish we could have spent more time with them, but they needed to get back on the road.
For this evening, I think I’ll fire up the grill, and we’ll have:
burgers, brats, corn on the cob, baked beans, green beans, broccoli/cauliflower mix, potato salad, cole claw and macaroni & cheese
You all have good afternoon, and take care.
Stopped at the fire station on the way home from the post office this morning, and just got home. And we didn’t have a single call. We’ve got a new station/equipment management program which I couldn’t get to load properly, so I called for tech support. Good thing they were able to get into our computer remotely, or I’d have a phone glued to my ear.
The tech rep got everything loaded, but it’s still not running properly. Next week…
Fire meeting tonight. Gotta be there so I can avoid being nominated for any offices…
evening
well we made a couple trips to town and did some chores around here today.Took Matt to the old park and Csx ran a few trains.The maw hauled some coal cars that were in storage in liberty center to defiance.They went into emergency as they crossed to put the cars in the siding for Csx to pick up.So they left the engine on the point and went home for the day to try again tomorrow.Was also reminded that I am not a young lad anymore but thanked the teenage lads for a good game of basketball at the park anyway.Going to sleep good with the windows open tonight.Cw thanks for supper.

Well, as CW said, she, Sarah and myself got to meet and talk to/with two very fine people today. Just very sorry we didn’t have more time to talk, but they had to get on the road and meet up with some more people today. Here’s a picture of Bob (spokyone) and his Lady Barb outside of the restaurant before they headed to places East of us. Thank You Bob and Barb for a Great Day!!
(think the Sun was getting in Barb’s eyes!)
Walt, I don’t know if I will ever have the pleasure of meeting this couple, but I would bet a quarter that they are very nice people, based on the limited contact that I have had with Bob through emails.
Another project - getting to meet more of the folks from the forums…
Fire meeting was largely uneventful, but it did include nominations for officers for the next year. I’ll be back under a white hat as second assistant chief.
Gonna be tough deciding what to do tomorrow. It’s supposed to be nice, but I have stuff I should be doing inside, too…
I keep thinking how neat it would be to visit the Adironack Scenic some Saturday without giving you advance notice, walking up to you and looking you square in the eye (which most people can’t do!), and saying, “Hi, tree68!”
Ray, Don’t know how much a “betting person” you are, but you’d better up your ante!! It’s Definitely worth more than a quarter!!!
Good Friday morning, everyone. As you can tell, I slept in this morning a little bit! Think I needed it, after getting all that good fresh outside air yesterday.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Mookie, here’s your coffee mug.
On the serving station this morning: A selection of doughnuts/danish/muffins, bagels and bear claws.
Mookie, want to go out to the garden this morning, and watch the trains go by? It’s a beautiful morning to do just that! Temp is is the mid 60s, going for a high in the mid 80s today.
Everyone have a good morning, and take care.
O.K. Walt, I’ve upped my ante on Spokey Bob and his wife by a dollar!!
