Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
Good Sunday morning. Tom, thanks for making the move. All the furniture, railroad layouts, CD player, juke box, all the tables, booths, and et.al. have been moved over. (The pumpkins were left behind, though.
Coffee, juices, hot drinks are ready to go. On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: oatmeal, grits, toast, biscuits & gravy, bacon (turkey and pork), pork sausage, scrambled eggs, tater tots, hash brown taters, pancakes and waffles, along with oranges, bananas, strawberries, blueberries.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, have a good morning, and if you'll be heading out to Church, work, or whatever you have planned for this morning, be safe and take care. (P.S.: I just got the Crock Pots/Slow Cookers started with roast, tater, carrots in them for our Sunday Dinner. If you'd like to have any other meals this afternoon, let me know and I'll get started on preparing/fixing them.)

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
34 degrees, lots of frost and bright sunshine blazing in my eastern window now. Clear skies and I believe we're to have quite a bit of it this week.
Most of our clocks are now changed,,,,but not quite all.....Think there is something like 17 or 18 of them. Watch changed at midnight and 3 of my other {radio controlled} clocks changed sometime during the night....I imagine at 2 am....but I certainly wasn't up to see...
Now it's get the one's in the veh's changed....and several others yet. Oh, will it ever get dark early this evening.....Sundown here, about 5:45. Now we'll just have to push Fall / Winter along as fast as we can.

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
A 'brisk' 34 this morning. Leaves were crunchy when the 4 legged vacuum cleaners went out to relieve themselves. I'll spend the AM with Misty and Aedan, and then the afternoon will be spent attempting to control the 'tree rat' population around Waupaca. Hopefully...I'll be able to sneak back to Anton Siding (near Weyauwega...sorta) and catch CN today.

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
Dan! It is SO GOOD to see you back in here: you have been missed!! The roast, taters, carrots have been taken out of one of the Crock Pots/slow cookers, and is now on the warmer bar. Here is your choices of vegetables/side dishes to go with them: green beans, creamed corn, whole kernal corn, broccoli w/butter sauce, brussels sprouts w/cheese sauce, baked cornbread (unsweetened & cake-like sweetened), crescent rolls, homemade buttermilk biscuits, and there's plenty of beef gravy. Desserts today: pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake (tastes just like a spice cake), yellow cake w/chocolate icing, along with all the Halloween candies, including the good chocolate candy treats) and coconut cream pie. Believe our high today is to be in the upper 50s, maybe low 60s. Everyone enjoy your afternoon, and take care.

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
Drag, drag, drag, collapse.
Just got in from at trip to NJ with our railroad's master mechanic. Left here early Saturday morning, got there just in time to catch the train in Phillipsburg. Rode in the hack for part of the trip, with the conductor. Spent time in the cab of Susquehanna 142, too. And it rained...
Left there this morning with a planned stop at Steamtown. After paying a visit to the GVT dispatcher (in the Bridge 60 tower), with whom we regularly converse when getting our Form D's, we toured Steamtown and took a ride behind 2317 around the yard.
Swung by Tunkahannock Viaduct (as well as Martin's Creek) on the way north, too.
I'm pooped.

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
Good Monday morning, everyone. Brian, it's good to see you got to make it in here last night! You are another one who has been missed in here (at least by me!).
Coffee, juices, and our hot beverages are ready, along with plenty of hot water for hot tea.
On the warmer bar this morning: all the normal goodies (breakfast menu, including prerequisite bagels and bear claws).
For your lunch today, I've got a couple of choices for you all in the slow cookers, heating for the day. I have another meeting to go to this morning, and will probably be gone until sometime this afternoon, so I won't be around. Also, tomorrow, I go back to the orthotics center, and not only will I won't be in here, but I won't be taking care of Tuesday Produce, either.
So you all have a good morning, and take care.
