Last day here in Phoenix, so spent lots of time with the mum.
I've about finished packing, so it's out the door by 4:30 for my 7 am flight. The last of the Super Bowl attendees has hopefully cleared out, so my check-in will be nice and smooth. There were some issues Monday and Tuesday.
Pizza makes a good bedtime snack, too...

Chugs hot chocolate with a hot cider chaser...ambles off to da roost.
Good morning, everyone. Well, we made it through the storms last night (will go outside and check around, after daybreak). We were under a tornado watch last night until 2 a.m. this morning. We were even under a tornado warning around 12:30 this morning. Seems the worst damage is south-southwest of us, in Meade and Hardin Counties. In Muhlenburg Co., a couple and their adult daughter were killed when a tornado hit their mobile home. Hearing reports of quite a bit of trees and power outages. I didn't go to bed until 1:50 this morning.
Coffee, juice, hot chocolate, hot tea and hot cider are all ready, and on the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs, home fries, and muffins, hot out of the oven.
Hope you all have a great morning, and see ya later.

Good morning everyone.
Just a thought: When clicking into the thread this morning, I noticed It was entitled "The fall 2007 DD& Coffee Shop". Is it time for a 2008 coffee shop since we're now into the second month? Again, just a thought.

Lance, I'll be checking on that this afternoon. And welcome back in here, Lance! Where've you been hiding, lately? We need to get all our missing patrons back in here. Speaking of patrons: Cannonball and Shirl, like your avitar!!
For lunch and supper today we have: Italitan spaghetti w/garlic bread, garlic Texas toast, and garlic breadsticks, garden salad, and Caesar salad.
Desserts today: chocolate cake, chocolate pie, white cake w/white icing, and chocolate cake w/white icing. There's also brownies, made from scratch (no mix today). Two kinds of brownies: both chocolate, one w/nuts inside and chocolate icing on top.
You all enjoy your meal, and I'll see ya later!
The next round of Italian spaghetti, garlic bread/toast/sticks, are on the warmer bar, and the salads are in the cooler.
It's quite windy out, and supposed to get down to 32 in the morning. Will need to bundle under the comforter tonight!!
Has anyone heard from Mookie since Monday?!?! Wrote her an email, but haven't heard anything back.
CW; Thank you for the comment on my avatar. It was one of those things that just happen, so I'll let it be. Thats' what friends are for.~~~ Supper is delish, now for some brownies (scratch type) both kind.
Hope there wasnt' damage to the homeplace and youins' are warm and dry. Respectfully, Cannonball
IIRC, Ms La Mook had a bunch of those meetings this week. I'm sure she'll be back with a vengence.
Wasn't sitting next to the window on the way east, so didn't try to wave to her... GPS didn't work on that side either.
Excellent flight - until we approached Detroit, where things got bumpy. Very bumpy from Detroit to Syracuse, too. Even had to dodge some weather. And in a DC-9 to boot.
Hit some snow on the way north, but it was managable. The stuff that was falling after my class, however, meant 35-45 all the way home. Managed to push throught the snow in the driveway and into the garage, but then the snowblower wouldn't start. About 5 minutes with a hair dryer thawed it out enough to turn over (apparently we got some wind-blown rain and it got into the flywheel). Then I discovered the thick layer of hard crust under the latest 8" of snow.
It's done for now. I can get back out of the driveway. Kinda hope they delay work tomorrow. Will be checking!
CW & LM - You lucked out with your weather. Not often we get that kind of storm system this time of year, and it shows.
Brownie and milk and bed.
Good Thursday morning, everyone! Larry, glad to hear you made it home safely. Also, thanks for reminding me of Mookie's meetings. I had forgotten about them. Yes, we were very lucky, not having any damage in our area.
Coffee, juice (just oj this morning), hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea are all ready this morning. On the breakfast bar: bagels, bear claws, blueberry muffins, turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, and biscuits & gravy.
Anyone have any requests for our lunch/supper menu tonight? (And hopefully, we'll have more people in here throughout the day!)
Everyone have a good morning, and see you later.
grumble grumble.....
Was confined to house yesterday - they closed all public and private schools due to snow so I had to stay home and crab all day! I don't need vacation this year - I have had enough time off every week to amount to a month vacation!
Tree - think I heard you go over, but then also heard something buzzing out there at 4 am this morning, too. So not sure if your flight went past and then your part came by later?
CW & Mutt - glad you are ok - kept hearing about all the tornados. We are in tornado alley and only got cold and snow and not that much snow, either.
The chicken is back! Think our flock is back together again.
Next week is when I get seminarized. They have changed the schedule so much I don't know when and if, so asked for a new up-to-date schedule.
I am having coffee, toast, coffee, juice, coffee, and a hot cup of coffee.....(almost time for the weekend so I can be off again!)

Most area schools closed again today while they dig out. On Iowa side, the TV reports that tow trucks are prohibited until roads are clear of ice & snow. CW:How about Ham & Beans w/cornbread today?
well the rain we got last night has frozen the roads here in nw ohio.also add the overflowing rivers too.the water is over alot of roadways here.the cities of ottawa and findlay are under the blanchard river.cloudy today and mookies snow this weekend.but hey today is friday.
Okay, Bob, you get your wish for today's menu: there is one big pot of northern beans, and one big pot of pinto beans on the stove, cooking, and there is plenty of ham in both pots. Also have a pot of beef stew going. And as a topper for the beans, there is home canned chunky green tomato catsup (some people call if chow-chow), or, if you're like me, I just pour some red tomato catsup over my beans. And I've also have a big pot of beef stew in a third pot on the stove. At 11:30 EST, there will be cornbread going into the oven, so everything will be ready and waitin on the ole warmer bar, just in time for lunch. Might even fry up a big skillet of potatoes to go with the beans.
Mookie, good to see you back!! (And I will try to remember all these meetings/seminars you are having to deal with!)

Bergie would probably appreciate it if we did, before he has to prompt us...
MLM - at 4AM this morning I was probably busy sawing logs, or contemplating when I'd have to get up and clear the driveway again. Fortunately, work was delayed two hours, so I still got to sleep in a bit and get the driveway cleared before trekking down the road.
Still recovering from being two hours "off" and sleeping in a single bed that was only slightly softer than the carpet. That, and the dry weather. Dear ol' Mum is short three boxes of tissue now.
Time for lunch.
I had a flashback to the Apollo program today when I saw this on my bigscreen.
Cw thanks for supper.the river is really high here in town.csx is having problems with some crossovers.well today is friday.
Hey everyone: supper is on the warmer bar. Along with the beans and cornbread, there are some pizzas leftover from Saturday night. Good thing I made extra, and froze them Saturday! Figured they'd come in handy for later in the week.
Now, I need to go take brownies out of the oven: seem to be in a baking mood today/this evening.
Good Friday morning, folks! Hope everyone made it through the night safe & sound.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, cider, tea are all ready, and on the counter this morning: I've laid out the doughnuts, danish, bagles, bear claws, and on the warmer bar: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits & sausage gravy.
Cannonball, I'll have that ready for you tomorrow night, along with the pizzas.
You all have a good morning, take care and I'll see you later.
good morning
