FEBRUARY 2015 COFFEE POT. 11 years running. Sweet ice tea and grits for the southern gents, coffee and donuts for the Yanks

[cheapclassics]

Good evening all,

Very busy day at work.  Processed 23 cases, which is a lot.  Met with contractor tonight.  Looks like it could be a "go".  Not terribly impressed with new Lionel catalogs.  The one item they promoted on their Facebook page that I might have been interested in was not listed so may have to wait for Christmas train catalog.  As far as halftime show was concerned, I have read many differing reviews as well.  I was looking at it from a fan's point of view, and I thought she did quite well.  That is one of the beauties of music.  Every one can have varying viewpoints, and all are fine.   If every one had the same reaction to the same performance, this would be a very dull world.   I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. - I didn't think the halftime show was that great.  I couldn't even understand what she was lipsyncing. 

 

Joe,   I have to agree, I thought maybe I was the only one. Not to be disrespectful to anyone,,,but the halftime show made me want to puck.   I turned it off thinking if that's entertainment I don’t want any.  Funny how we can all see things in a different light. To each his own!

Cold and clear. Going down to -1 tonight. At least all of the snow is shoved off to the side on the lane and the roads are so so for the wife's ride into work tomorrow at 5:30 AM. Hold on you right coasters.

Have a good night.

Good evening,

Well I guess Chuck needs to aim that snow cannon a bit better as we just received a dusting here.  It is colder; it was 20 degrees or so and windy when I went for a 5-mile run this morning.  Although I cannot stand either team I did enjoy the game.  As previously stated, the Seahawks OC blew it.  Have a great night.

Mike C. - I didn't think the halftime show was that great.  I couldn't even understand what she was lipsyncing. 

SP Ray - I'm glad the wife is okay.  I hope all is well today.

Laz - Thanks for the link.  I'll peruse the catalog later tonight.

Brent - glad you're healing....and you are ok!!

I'm healing... not sure about the 'ok' statement - some would question that, even before the accident.

[anjdevil2]

Happy Monday!

Ray -

Didn't watch any of that football game......at all

Cleaned up my "living room" and vacuumed upstairs and the laundry, so thats done.

Got a lot of the financial stuff taken care of and looks much better.

This morning got snow then rain and slush.  18F in High Point, NJ and 50F in Cape May.  Wow...what a difference.

Brent - glad you're healing....and you are ok!!

for those in need

Wow!  What a day yesterday was.  First of all, wife fainted at church sitting in the pew.  Paramedics were called and they took her by ambulance to hospital where they found nothing, thankfully.  I think it was claustraphobia which she has had before when she gets pinned in the middle of other people.  It has happened once before.  She sees regular doctor tomorrow.  Scared me.

Ate the left over ribs after we got home and watched some of the Super? Bowl. Seattle snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.  I couldn't believe it.  After getting the biggest break you could ask for, trailing by 4 points,  their pass receiver juggled the football and caught it by accident, then they threw an interception on the next play with 5 yards to the goal and 20 seconds on the clock.  A free gift for New England.  It's always better to be lucky than good.

All I got to say is SNOW!!!!

Morning all.  Rainy.  They say clearing around noon with high winds.  First Monday of the month which means meetings all day and tonight.

Have a good one.

Morning all!

Busy week this week.

Cold here but sunny. Maybe some rain Thursday.

Will try to check back later.

Have a great day all!

Mornin' Fellas

New found respect for single parents!

Fife - sorry for missing you yesterday. After spending Saturday night alone with them there was no way we were doing a train show! Two pairs of little sticky fingers - no way I could keep an eye on both of them by myself!

Yesterday was an experience. The kids and I woke around 8:30am, made waffles for breakfast, spent some time Skyping with TheQ (she is in England auditing the Ebola Vaccine Clinical Trials for the week), watched Monsters Inc, made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, put the kiddos down for naps (Matthew was easy, Christina was a load of work), Skyped some more with TheQ, rested a bit, put the dishes away from earlier, played with the kiddos, made pizza for dinner, worked on letters with the kiddos, got ready and went to grocery store for stuff to watch the less than Super Bowl, had ice cream with the kiddos, gave them baths, put Matthew in bed, watched some of the less than Super Bowl with Christina, read her 4 stories, got her in bed, watched the rest of the less than Super Bowl - waiting for New England to annouce Pete Carroll as their next Offensive Coordinator, then headed to bed. The house is still a wreck - hope to address that tonight. Have no idea where single parents find time to take care of everything around the house!!!!!!

We got snow up to my Yatzee. A very depressing day. And it's still snowing.

[cheapclassics]

Good evening all,

All I can say is this, "Katy Perry RULES!!!"   She absolutely nailed the halftime show.  Best one ever!   Got to attend a send off for wife's nephew as he goes overseas for deployment.  Weather is good here so far.  Will have to see how it is overnight.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Buckeye Riveter

Arrived home from the swamps of North Carolina.   One thing is certain, Sutherners do cook really good meals.  At the conference I attended we had one of my favorites, smoked turkey.  However, to make sure the dinner was extraordinary, I put 200 chocolate and peanut butter Buckeyes on the desert table. The Alabama fans at the conference looked at them in disgust.  

 

A tiny microchip tracking device was in that good food.  Enters the blood stream so it will not "pass through".  Gotch you!!!

[SPMan]

Good morning all,

Picked up some ribs at a local super market yesterday.  They were cooking them outside on an open pit charcoal cooker.  I picked up one slab thinking that was enough for two people but last night we got a surprise visit from our oldest son and his family so that was the end of the ribs.  Might see if they are still cooking today.  They also had Tri Tip which looked good.

Lots of appointments next week for wife mainly.  Something almost every day.

Will probably watch some of the Super Bowl but don't care who wins.

Chief, thanks for the thought about the water.  Lawn is really greening up now since they put on fertilizer with nitrogen in it.  I watered it in yesterday but we had a little rain a day or two before they applied it.

No plans today except church.

Have a good one.

We are getting a light snow this morning, so I guess I will not go water skiing this afternoon.  

88-Glad you are okay.  

Speaking of driving, my company requires us to take a four hour safe driving course on line. http://www.nsc.org/Pages/nsc-on-the-road.aspx Needless to say it is not an easy course to pass. I need to finish it this week.  I also am required to take a safety course about dangerous chemicals.  If you haven't noticed, the placards on trucks hauling dangerous substances have changed. I have not checked railroad cars to see if the placards are updated.

Everyone have a great week!

Good morning and Happy February,

I was out of town most of this past week for work.  I came home on Thursday and was busy with work and family commitments.  I am hoping to relax today and enjoy the game, even though I dislike both teams. 

Brent - I'm glad you are okay.  Sorry to hear about the car and nose.

Joe

[ChiefEagles]

Starting a new one as have to run off to a thingy tonight.  I'm sure some eager person would have jumped in.

Buckeye, the eyes of Roseyville and Langley are upon you.

Ray, wish I could ship you some of my water.  So much rain here, old springs poping out of the ground everywhere.

Enjoy.
