I am so sore. This kitchen project is killing me!

.

We had a cold front go through, so it is feeling like winter time finally. The cool down has been nice.

... Back to work.

Mornin' folks!

Zoe....  Glad you made it here today!  I need another pot of hot Seneca Lake Blend Dark Roast coffee to warm me up!

'Tis, all of 5°F outside with a 10mph breeze, meaning the wind chill is around -9°F.  I managed to bundle up and get the deck cleaned off with my little electric snow blowqer.  The "breeze", of course means that some of the sn*w flies back into my face....  Knew there was something I liked about the beard I used to have. Whistling

I should be in church right now, but the city was kind enough to fill in the end of my driveway with about a foot and a half of white stuff.  With the icy road that could be just enough to get the car stuck in if the snow plow picked up some ice chunks.  So I will be cleaning out that anyway.  Also they plowed about 3 foot out from my mailbox and left  quite a bit of drift there as well.  Guess I will be working on it from time to time this afternoon....

Tonight I should be over to my son's house to see the sillyness at Midnight....

Stay warm and safe!

I set up the new diner at Tehachapi...

Take a look at the opening post tell me if it's good or not...

See you all tommorow at the loop but for now I'm in Miami for 2017 and the Billy Joel concert, and no I have not seen the lights go out on Broadway!

I'm confused, we have two diners open at once.  I can't handle that kind of change in the routine.  Wink

Never heard of a spliff or a blunt.   Blunts are joints rolled in tobacco paper like a cigar.  Spliff's are tobacco and marijuana.  You get a nicotine buzz and the other buzz too.  Of course we are only talking medical use in places where legal.

I hope to bring my wife home from the hospital today, after spending 5 days of dealing with a miriad of complications from chemotherapy.  They are going to have to change her regime because of those complications.

Since she has been gone the dog has not gotten in our bed once. 

Without commenting on the illegality of the act or the possible artistic value, (don't get me booted off the forum) how would someone manage to create this massive billboard?  Ladder, scaffolds, cases of spray paint? 

 And what is the meaning of NI HI LREZNOR

Good morning Diners,

Brunhilda, I'll have an extra large coffee with lots of cream, please.

Yesterday was a double bonus day.  I got the new Feb MR, and I also got my 2018 MRP in the mail.  Does that qualify as a year end bonus?

Big Smile

Big Daddy: I have no idea what the meaning of the phrase is, but I've often wondered the same thing.  How do they have the time and equipment to paint such an elaborate gang name on the side of a 50' railroad car?  'Tis a mystery.  

Next month's diner going to Tehachapi?  Great!  I've not been there,...yet!  Been through Cajon more times than I can count, but not Tehachapi.  South Florida had been mentioned.  Maybe for Feb? Dunno.

Hello to everyone, and I hope everyone is OK, safe, and warm.

Less is more,...more or less!

Jim (with a nod to Mies Van Der Rohe)
