Mookie:Happy Birthday Mutt. Cw - poke him to see what we will be dining on tonite. Tell him it better be good, too! Mookie, I poked him, and we will be dining tonight on meat loaf, mashed taters & gravy, garden salad, brussels sprouts and crescent dinner rolls w/butter. Dessert: angel food cake w/confetti icing, lemon merangue (sp?) pie, and yellow cake w/chocolate icing. Walt and Sarah are getting the bikes loaded on the Jeep on the bike rack, and preparing to go for their bike ride. I will be here at home, fixing the meat loaf, etc. for supper.

I like Mutt's taste!
Dog is whining badly at me at the moment....
Ok I gave him a treat, and he is better. Well, I'm proud to annouce that I'm now a second class Boy Scout! I advanced last Thursday. Now I will be working on my first class rank requiremants.
I'm also glad to say that the track laying portion of my layout is almost over! I have one more box of flex track comming, on Wednesday evening. It's easy to lay once you get the hang of it. Next the landscapers will be comming in to put down scenic foam.
Well yall have a good evening!

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
Evening all..... Busy week again, will have logged another 3300 or so miles this week, after delivering in York, PA, tomorrow morning. Am now at Carlisle, PA, taking a break, will probably get rolling about 6am EST to make the 8am appointment. Johnny, got the pictures, there definately was not much left of the car (and looks like the second Mack will need a new hood and bulldog). Any word on the occupants of said car? Ahh, comfort food for dinner, I like it, will hopefully be home this Friday night to partake in the real thing (don't worry, the virtual is great as well!!) See everyone later.....

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
Well, an almost belated happy birthday to the resident mutt!
Meatloaf sounds like it was good, but I opted to take daughter and family (including 6 month old grandson) out to dinner. He tried to help me eat my salad, but he's not up to lettuce yet - although he apparently does favor his veggies.
Heading for bed soon, to recover from two days on the concrete floor at the Syracuse train show. I was decked out in my conductor's duds, which caused some confusion, since on of the members of that NRHS chapter routinely makes the rounds, in conductor's uniform, punching the vendor's name tags and handing out much sought after show pins. I must have been asked 20 time if I was the one with the buttons. Aside from my own, I wasn't.
'Nite, all.

Let's see - this be "39", Mr. Benny? Thanks for the Birthday Wishes Ya'all!!!!! Was a Great Sun Shiny Day suitable for Bike Riding, eating food and just enjoying the day.(and presents) [With my Sis coming down yesterday, and the great weather we've had for the weekend; has made this one of my more enjoyable B-Days, it's been very nice!]
Mook, I'm very glad you approved of the menu, the meal was great! (and 9 is correct for the last number!)  Justin, Congrats on the Boy Scout things, and I'm glad you like certain foods that I like, other people don't......now are you sure you like Brussel Sprouts?!

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
Good Monday morning, all! We have a very nice 52 degrees outside this morning, going for a high of 71 today. Walt, I'm very glad you enjoyed your birthday!! Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are ready to go. On the breakfast bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, and BLTs this morning. This morning is not exactly 'doctor' day for me, but I do have to go back to the Center of Orthotics and Prosthetics, so they can check how I'm doing on the ankle/arch support brace. Just in case I don't make it back in time for lunch, there's plenty of meat loaf, mashed taters w/gravy, etc., that is warming in the Crock Pot and Slow Cooker. Everyone have a good morning, keep safe and take care. See you all later.

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
Today is supposed to be the crown jewel of the week, with a high of 68, but if it doesn't rain the rest of the week, I can handle the 40's and 50's forecast for the end of the week.
Gotta re-mulch the bulb garden. Didn't do it properly last year. Everything came up, but that included more weeds than I would have had otherwise.
Meatloaf sounds good.
Back to the grind, tea and bearclaw in hand.

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
....Push on in your scouting advancements Justin.....I too was a 2nd class scout when scouting was just 35 years old. In my opinion, becoming an Eagle Scout is a very worthy achievement for a young fellow. Good meaning to it.

joe Cloudy and approx 70 degrees here right now. Weather guessers seemingly got it right for today, although their forecast called more for partly Sunny than partly cloudy. Our rain, or chances of are supposed to be late tomorrow. (maybe we can still get a few outside things done today, early tomorrow.)

Re: The Flat Wheel Cafe and Diner, November Edition
....I did another mowing and leaf mulch this afternoon and about 3:30 I walked over to the electronic transmitter {to the indoor/outdoor} temp readout}, and it was reading 65 degrees.....Skies have been mostly gray after a beautiful sunrise here this morning. It was pleasant working in the yard this afternoon. Yard is all green once again.....Most of neighbors leaves are down, so perhaps that's the most of leaf cleanup for this season.

Randy, I asked my niece, and replied, "Sorry, Uncle Johnny, I don't have any information. From the picture, I could tell it happened on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, in the New Orleans metro area. It may have been in the town of Harvey, LA, and it is in West Jefferson Parish. Date and time and result of the occupants is unknown to me."
It is obvious to me that all three vehicles were in a traffic lane. I do not see how anyone could have survived the impact. For many years I have heard that small cars may be wonderful on fuel economy, but they are extrememly short on crash worthiness.
Johnny
