Last chance to fine tune the equipment before RiverRail.  Brats, dogs and beans for the mid session break with Jeannies famous cup cakes for desert.  I get Al’s again!!

Fine tuning the layout before RiverRail 2012.  Going to try something different for the meal this time around.  Cooking burgers on the grill and keeping them warm and steamed before lunch.  I’ll start cooking the burgers 30 minutes before the mid session break.  Then it will be a build your own burger bar, with something for desert.

Please note the start time is at 3.  Going to try this for those who have to drive a bit to get here so they are home 1 hour earlier than usual from my sessions.  Meal to be decided later.  Park in the alley unless there is a lot of snow.  If there is a lot of wonderful white snow, park in front.

Park in the alley.  Rear door will be locked at 4.  The ham has been well received so we’ll go with hot ham on buns, beans and something for desert..  Bar car is always open.

I’m hosting my last ops session on this day.  My last session while I’m still in my 50′s that is.  I’ll be turning 60 on the 28th.  I have never had a summer session so this is a rare summer ops session for me.  Hot ham on buns with beans and chips.  I’m sure there will be cake for desert.  Bar car is always open.  Back door closes at 4.

Park inthe alley.  Rear walkout will be locked at 4.  Brats, beans and something for desert.  Bar car is always open here.

Rear walkout will not be open due to snow, or if happens to be melted, mud in the alley so park up on top please.  Front door will be open.  We will be having hot ham on buns with some beans and something for desert.  Bar car is always open here.  First session with JMRI Operations paperwork!!

Session starts at 4.  Rear door will be closed and locked at 4.  Sloppy Joe’s, beans and cookies will be the meal tonight.  Bar car is always open.

For this event, I ask everybody to bring a small dish to pass. I’ll supply the liquids.  I’ll let everybody know where to park due to snow or lack of it.  This has been a very well received session in years past with Ramsey being the most popular passing siding on the system. (food table)  Let’s start the new year right by running some trains!!
