Can one of you create a new coffee shop for me? The size of the current coffee shop is huge.

So please, create a new one and call it something like "The fall 2007 Depot Diner & Coffee Shop"  Please don't call it DD & CS... too confusing for newcomers to the site.

I'm going to lock this now. First one to read this gets to be the creator of the new thread.

I am glad to see that you made it into the Diner this morning, CW. I would have been in here much earlier, but I could not get into the forums. I think the web site of Trains Magazine was down for a while.

We got a third of an inch of rain here in Sioux Falls yesterday. Today is shaping up to be a pretty nice day here, with our high temperature to max out at roughly 73 degrees. Three years ago on this date we got three inches of snow!

The open-face roast beef sandwich w/potatos and gravy is just the ticket for me, I think I'll have that for lunch. Dinner [dinner]

Gee, ole crip here is in first this morning?!?!?!  Can't believe this!!  Had Mutt help me, and breakfast is ready (well, we'll make it brunch, instead!).

Coffee, tea, lemonade, and juices are ready.  On the warmer bar, you'll find:  bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, plenty of syrup, sausage, fried taters, vegetable beef soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters and gravy.

We're getting a little bit of rain this morning.  You all take care, and have a great day.

Productive garage sale this weekend.  I think I'll use the money for something worthy: Trains subscription!   Exciting, busy week ahead.  Better rest up and get ready.  Back later...

Thanks for doing breakfast this morning, Joe. I think I'll grab myself a waffle and top it with some maple syrup and some cinnamon apple sauce. Dinner [dinner]

Right now we've got 65 degrees here in Sioux Falls and light rain. It's supposed to rain here all day according to the information I get from the Weather Underground, and we've got a 90% chance of scattered thunderstorms throughout the day.

Ooooo, French Silk pie!Dinner [dinner]  Good way to balance out that Supreme pizza.

Joe, I liked the DVD, but I'm not so sure I want to sign up and commit to more of them.  I'm surprised they flushed that thread- I know there was some scalding comments on there, but there were some good ones too.

  Ray ; The ham really sounds goood ,haven't had any for a while . We were going to Bismark last week and was going to look for you ,but the time frame to load would not permit . I can smell the rolls now . I guess we got out ahead of the snow in N.D.  And Mont. , not scared of bad weather to drive in , just better sense. Many years of driving instills that on ya' .I'll have a cup of coffee & a large cinnomon roll to go. Hope to see you some day.    Respectfully, Cannonball

Good morning! Well, it looks like I'm the first one in the Diner here, so I think I'll take charge of serving breakfast this morning. Chef [C=:-)] The coffee is brewing and the orange juice is ready to be poured.

O.K., on the menu tor breakfast this morning: I've got a Virginia baked, honey and brown sugar cured ham in the oven, it should be ready to slice up shortly. I baked a pan of cinnamon rolls this morning, ya better grab one while they are still warm, we've got buttermilk pancakes and french toast with pork sausage and bacon, and scrambled eggs Chef [C=:-)]

It is raining here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and I sort of wish I could send some of this rain out to those of you folks out there who are in a real need for rain. I woke up to a brilliant flash of lightning about an hour ago and it lit up my house like daylight.

Another slow night in here.  Shame!  I guess I'll have to eat the cheddar cheese/Ritz crackers/summer sausage all by myself.  I thought I smelled a cheesecake in here somewhere too....

M C:  Oh, I was thinking you were working with RR tunnels.  I believe from the tech info you mention, you are establishing a way to detect any movement of such tunnel surfaces {inside}....That sounds interesting.   Thanks.

Did some work in the general area {vehicle testing}, many years ago and ended up at Berthoud Pass.....from our hotel starting point in Denver.
