....Peanut butter is great food....Had some around midnight while watching TV.  Peanut butter and crackers.  Ummm good.

Have listened to HAM radio for years but personally am not a HAM.  Muncie here, has a local repeater for 2 meter op.  Have friends that are HAMS.

Low temp here this morning was 42...Our lowest since last Spring.  To get to 66 today and lots of sunshine and warmer this coming week.

Good morning ladiies and gents, and whatever. I haven't checked into this thread before, but try to keep up with the goings on. Currently 62 in SC, up from 48 last night, which is quite nice. We were the USA hotspot for about a week in August, so it is doubly nice. Nothing to speak of on the HAM wireless this morning, so I busied meself making a top notch breakfast. I made the most awesome omlet this A M and sitting here thinking about it, I think I shall do it again tomorrow. Tonight is BBQ night, so lots to look forward to. Peanut butter until then.

Thank you for all of the happy birthdays and thank you for the chocolate cake, Duff! It is delicious.

About all I can say this evening is that I'm glad that the weekend is here. Hopefully everyone will have a good, safe weekend.

Got fish on the grill, along with lots of fries, hushpuppies, coleslaw, shrimp, and any kind of fish any way you like it.

Since people were hungry I thought I would start on the Friday Night Fish Fry

 Dessert will be pies, chocolate cake, (for the birthday weatherman) and turnovers

 Eat hearty!

Nothing stayed on the ground Mook and it'll be in the upper 50s this weekend so you need not fear anything frosty and white (unless it's a really big donut rolling downhill at you!).

.....J, great Fall weekend scheduled here too....Warmer temps and lots of sunshine.  Have had 2 days now of cloudy to partly cloudy stuff here and much cooler than it has been.  High 50's to around 60 for highs.

Getting up temp here this morning was 51 plus.

Sun is about to break thru right now.

I know that it had been pretty hot all summer long in Louisville, so I'll bet that you, Walt and Sarah are really enjoying the cooler weather, Paula. While I don't know what the current temperature here in Sioux Falls is, at 5:30 this morning when I got out of bed we had a temp of 42 degrees. And yes! It does make for good sleeping!Smile [:)]

Happy Belated Birthday Willy!! Happy B-Day [bday]   I hadn't been in for a couple of days,

and I don't think "The Calendar" had that one listed, it will now.

Was "cool" here overnight also, very nice blanket weather. Woke up to outside temp. of

about 53 degrees.

Mook, be very, very careful about putting face in coffee cup that far, we don't want

you to get stuck and have to have Tree come for a rescue. (besides, the coffee is

supposed to warm the "insides", not the fur!Wink [;)])

I am so glad I took a course on how to breathe through your ears.  I use it for when I am face down in my coffee cup.  Thanx Ray.

Cool weather makes me want to sleep longer in the morning.  Put a blanket on the bed last nite and toasted all nite.

Great fall weekend coming up - little sun, little rain, little cool, breathe a little - ah - life is good.

Willy! I'm sorry I missed your birthday. Anyway I figure it is better to be late than never so

Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday] And I hope you had a great day yesterday!

It looks like I am the first one in the Diner this morning, I've got the coffee brewing and I've mixed a fresh batch of orange juice. And I've set out Mookie's favorite coffee cup if she shows up here this morning.

For breakfast this morning we've got buttermilk pancakes, waffles, eggs done any way you like them, bacon, pork sausages, banana nut muffins and cinnamon rolls with lots of butter!Chef [C=:-)]

I have the day off today and my sister is going to help me run a few errands during the noon hour. I am going to try to get an ink cartridge for my Dell printer re-filled. It's a real pain in the butt to try to find cartridges for the printer model that I have, and I don't like having to go through Dell for them.

I hope the rest of you out there have a good day!

Thank you for the happy birthday, and yes, this brings me to 17. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before my hair starts turning gray!!

Better that than falling out, like mine did.  I was bald by the time I was 27.

Well, I can make high temperatures for the Oshkosh area about 5 to 7 degrees warmer Saturday and Sunday than they were today. I know that's not great, but maybe it's a bit of an improvement.

BTW: Did we all forget who's birthday was yesterday??? Whistling [:-^]
