Very good family picture, Larry! You all look great. And Baby Evie looks very comfy in Gramps' arms.
I've got our Friday Fish Fry on the warmer bar. Today's fish specials:
1. Catfish2. Cod3. Flounder4. Haddock5. Halibut6. Shrimp7. Perch8. Salmon patties
Plus, all the regular side dishes: corn on the cob, fries, cole slaw, baked beans, hushpuppies, and macaroni & cheese. Plus all the regular cake and pie menu.
I had planned, instead of frying the fish, to grill out, but with the rain, didn't want to stand out in it, manning the grill. Maybe next Friday, we'll be able to have a Friday Fish Grill outing.
Hey Larry, I want to offer you my congratulations in the birth of your granddaughter! She certainly is a precious little kid, and I'll bet that you are one heck of a proud grampa!
We had a warm front come through my region in the last few days, and now most of our snow is gone. It got up into the mid-50's yesterday afternoon. Today we will only see 40 degrees here in Sioux Falls, but it is shaping up to be a very nice day otherwise.
I hope the rest of you out there have a good day.

Belated Happy Birthday to Brian.
Have a new calling. Heard on the radio that some lady can predict the future by throwing asparagus on the floor and then reading the signs.
Do I really need to say that this is where asparagus belongs anyway?
Colder for the weekend, but spring arrives next week. I can wait. Not patiently, tho.
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
Good Friday morning to one and all!! Rain hasn't made it's way into our area yet, but is on the way. Not supposed to be anything real heavy, or and thunder & lightning just yet, hopefully that part won't make it here.
Coffee, fresh juices, hot chocolate, hot water for tea, and hot cider are all ready and waitin' for everyone. On the counter this morning: our usual Friday morning doughnuts, danishes, muffins, bagels and bear claws.
Saw on my Arcamax History & Quotes this morning that on March 14, 1864, famous railroad engineer Casey Jones (John Luther Jones) was born.
I want to wish a belated birthday wish to our louisnash, Brian, who had a birthday Tuesday. We'll have a birthday cake for him tonight in here. Brian, hope you had a Very Happy Birthday!!
Got one of them around here someplace...
I'll find it in the morning.

Eolafan, glad to hear you made it home safely!
I've just finished putting more steak, mushrooms & onions and the other side dishes, on the warmer bar. Joe & Lance, have containers made up for you two, and they're in the fridge, waiting for you guys to pick them up, on your way to work tonight.
The past two days have been really gorgeous; but sometime later tonight, rain showers and thundershowers are to come in. The thundershowers closer to morning rush hour, if they are correct in the forecast. If all this moisture keeps up, I'm going to have to call the guy who has been cutting our grass for the last couple of years. Not quite ready to start thinking of grass cutting, just yet.
You all have a great evening, and take care!

Wow, what a cutie pie...a future Miss America...or perhaps President of the United States some day? Congratulations.
Just arrived home from Orlando where it was 80F when I left today and I returned to 62F in Chicago...quite a nice surprise.
Dan
Larry, we here in Louisville, are glad you made it home safely! And we also know you're missing Little One already!! Will look forward to seeing a picture or two of the little sweetie, when Grampa gets around to it. (We know you have a lot to catch up on at home, after being gone!!
Dan, since you took care of breakfast so well this morning, I went ahead and got started (at 7:30 a.m. ) on the other two meals for today: Top round steak, cut in large slices, placed over two cans of Cream of Mushroom soup, and added a couple of thick sliced onions, and mushrooms. (Made enough to have for tonight, also.) To go along with it, there is: broccoli, cauliflower, mashed taters; and cole slaw and garden salads in the cooler, along with strawberries, cherries, and cantaloupe for snacking purposes!!
Glad you made it back Larry. Looking forward to pictures!
Supposed to get near 45 today...better break out the shorts!

Hey Guys...
Guess what happens when you drop a set of cast iron vise jaws on your toe?
Yeah, well, that too...man, I couldn't have done it any better if I had aimed.
Did that once with a piece of firewood, right on the pinky toe.

Last bit of snow disappeared yesterday.
Last nice day today.
Back to lower temps - what was wrong with 60?
I am heading to Houston to take over EB's job until his foot heals. I am taking a chair so I can sit and pull pins as they go by. Grandmothers get special dispensation you know. No walking on rocks for us..... (Poor Ed will need two more jobs after I get done)
Dan - if you are getting up at 4 - switch to 3:45 and I won't have to get up at all. No sense in both of us up at that hour.
Fruit - yessssss....sounds good. All but pineapple. I know I am in the minority - but I don't like squash and hate asparagus (see Sir Mud about that). So I am probably a minority of one!
I seem to be an IS person and custodian today - had to make the coffee....It is a dark and lonely job, but someone has to do it since I really wanted a cup of coffee.....
Bi....
thanks dan for breakfast.q509 is stuck in the yard with a broken switch.warmer today means more snowmelt.
You're welcome CW. I figured that as long as I was up I'd get somethin' going. Tomorrow, however, I'm sleeping in!
We were forecast for an inch of snow last night...and none fell! YAY! Now if we can only get a bit warmer today that'll help.
Good Thursday morning Dan and everyone else in the FLAT WHEEL CAFE!!
I can hardly believe that I walk in the front door, and smell breakfast already cooking!! Thank you Dan!! Very, very much.
Will get a coffee mug, fill it up, and put a breakfast burrito, seasoned taters, and some fresh fruit on a plate, and go sit in a booth and wait for company to join me for breakfast.
It's hard to believe, but our morning temp is 56, 57 degrees, going for a high of 67 today! Unfortunately, though, tonight rain will be coming into the area. Checked our rain gauge the other day, and after the snow had melted, had about 2 1/3 in. of water in the gauge.
Morning everyone. Coffee, juice, and milk are ready to go. Ya gots three choices today:1) Breakfast Fajita/Burrito, seasoned taters;2) Egg, sausage/ham, cheese biscuits with pocket hashbrowns;3) Oatmeal (various flavors) with toast (various jams).
On the side we've got whole and cut fruit plus bagels and lite cream cheese. Dig in!
The toe right next to the big one on my left foot.
Was at my other job, stocking the wood working vise rack.
Sneakers offered zero protection.
Had to go switching Saturday, stood in one place pulling pins...if I missed one, either we pulled it back to me, or my switchman had to get it on the way by him...no running, no fast walking...and feet up when I get home.

CW I'll have a double helpin' of your spagetti & meat ball w/ garlic bread dipped in lemon butter( drool) .Todays produce was a good hit. Unbearded green beans ~ yellow squash ~red and green peppers ~ little russet taters, finally un smashed assorted bread and rolls w/ cookies and pies allnot too far out of date >>>> ahhhhh life is good. It was nice & warm at 72deg. on the mountain. Thank you for the mention of our departed friend ( Bernie)
Respectfully, Cannonball & Shirl
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Snowman got a major Oweeeee! About all you can do is carefully splint it.
Lemme guess --- at the back of the big toe? (I wear steel toes almost all the time and you cannot protect against all of it...at least it wasn't the metatarsal bones)
Keep that thing off the ground and keep the weight/pressure off of it as much as possible.
Ed,
I almost felt your pain tonight. I was working out (chest press w/110 lb dumbells) and nearly dropped one on my left foot when I was done with my last set of 8 reps.
I better start gettin' ready for the morning...4 AM comes early.
Ed, we wish you a very speedy recovery. When I can manage to get hold of my sister, I'll find out how long it'll take for you toe to heal! Seems her phone is very busy this afternoon, evening.
For those on the east coast, I have replenished the warmer bar with spaghetti, bread, taters, and the salad is in the cooler. (Since daylight is now extended, will probably be putting supper on the warmer bar, a little bit later than normal, because I know people will want to get outside, and do things before thinking about supper.) Joe and Lance, containers are waiting for you guys in the fridge.
Cw thanks for supper. Time to get stuff around for work.
