Hope you heal up soon, Ed ! Dropped a vise on my instep, fortunately not on my toe, soe years ago. Didn't break anything, but grandaddy of a bruise, so I can sympathise.

....This sounds like it happened at home Ed....Perhaps the steel toe shoes were located at their regular not working location. Not on the feet....!
Wish you a speedy healing.

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.
Been super busy with my Bullet Pen businesses, plus the second job, so haven't had much time to "eat out" so to speak...
Will try and hobble in a little more often...how long do broken toes take to heal?

Since I didn't hear any objections on the meal menu, the spaghetti (made with meatballs this time, instead of ground beef over the spaghetti), Italian bread, roasted garlic potatoes, green beans are now on the warmer bar; garden salad and desserts are in the cooler behind the counter.
Mookie, I've never had a broken toe (or any other body part); but my sister did break her toe, 40 some odd years ago. She might have had something over the toe, but all she could do was stay off it as much as possible. Believe while she was off work, she worked on her summer tan. Even back then, I couldn't have sat out in the sun that long.
CW - I think he is healing. I only found out after several days of him not being able to talk without sputtering. Anyone who has broken a toe knows how you just go silent for awhile since the pain is so bad, you can't get past silent screaming.
Loved the beagle and cream cheeze. And the warmer weather. And the pleasant conversation!

Oh my, but that's fun! I know what I'll be doing all day in the office!
Mookie, I wondered what happened to the rockers, after I came out of the kitchen, with two large mugs of coffee, and a bagel w/cream cheese for you, and a sausage biscuit for myself! I thought I was totally losing it!! (No comments from the peanut gallery, guys!) But I did find you, and it was very nice, sitting out there this morning, and us catching up on things.
Guess I'd better get a get well card ready to go to Houston!!!! (Wonder if I can find a card regarding a broken toe
How does Italian spaghetti w/garden salad, w/Italian bread, oven-roasted garlic potatoes and Italian green beans sound for today?

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
.....Too bad to hear the news of Houston Ed. Jen, pass our thoughts along to him. Believe he is one that won't care to be "down" for a while. We wish him a speedy healing.
31 degrees here this morning....should be another good late winter day. No snow.
CW - you are late - I am on the veranda already. I keep rockin' your chair trying to get your attention.
60+ here yesterday - we will pay dearly for this nice weather. Sat outside and read for about an hour. Cool in shade - toasty in sun. Got some winter chill out of my bones.
Houston Ed is nursing a broken toe. He temporarily forgot the law of gravity. I will pass on all the sympathy!
I am bored - busy but bored. Anyone got any ideas to spice up my work day in between doing all the paper work? Everyone needs a break in the work place every so many hours.
Off to see who left what in the food department.....
Mook
Good Wednesday morning to everyone. Can't remember what our current temp is, but we're to supposed to make it to 60 by around 6 p.m. this evening. Sounds like another gorgeous day around here.
Cannonball, our sympathies go out to you and and to Mudchicken, also.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot tea, etc. are ready; and on the warmer bar this morning: oatmeal, turkey bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, hash browns, tater tots (you get a choice of potato this morning), toast, sausage gravy and homemade buttermilk biscuits, bagels and bear claws.
Going to take requests for our noon and supper meals. So get your requests in, if you have any.
Cannonball, thank you for thinking of one of our friends, who has been missing. Guess I just figured that Randy was too busy truckin' to stop in.
Mookie, maybe in a couple of weeks, we'll be able to go out and have our coffee in the garden. What do you think of that idea? (Or maybe we'll move our rockers out on the veronda.)
CW : wed. is produce day for us here in Malfunction Jct. Dont' know yet what we will get , ( the manifest) aint' been faxed yet, for me to pick up at the dock. Also a sad note , Bernie our Electric Mule operator passed away Monday. stroke got him. ( mule is pallet truck) Hope more folks are comin' in than are disappering . ~~~~ 1979 Randy , where are ya' man?? Let us know how truckin' is going for you._-_-_ Snack time. I'll have a slice of Dutch apple pie w/ shredded chedder and coffee please.
Respectfully , Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Strange....Got 2 phone calls today, 1 from KC & 1 from Chicago....said the same thing...need to investigate further (Russell's website has been idle for a while and that banner says "due to illness" ... http://www.atsfry.com/index.htm )
One of his trips here to CRRM's Richardson library, he said that was him...(?) Grapevine error?
Something's not right.

That's sad to hear. My condolences to the family.
Something seems a little off, though. Is someone else using his screen name? He just posted in the "Public Animosity" thread a few hours ago...

Mudchicken, Mookie, LC, glad to see you all in this afternoon!! Guess we need to put out an APB for: Ray, Tom, Jay, Duff, Houston Ed, Kozzie, and whomever I'm not mentioning, that hasn't been in here forever and a day!!
Got all the sandwiches, etc., taken care of for tonight's supper. All freshly made, no leftovers from lunch. Fries are just about ready to take out of the fryer, veggies ready to go on the warmer bar. Joe, Lance and anyone else, containers to go are ready, and in the fridge.
Joe, haven't seen any buzzards yet, but have seen robins today. Am on the watch for cardinals, too. Just wonder if our pair who had a nest in the front pine tree will come back this spring!! Hope so, cause we really enjoyed watching the babies in the nest.
well the buzzards haven't returned to hinkley ohio yet.Cw thanks for supper.LC matt has me going 100 + all the time.

I've been trying to get that cotton-pickin' door open for two hours. Or did you fall asleep in here last night?!?! I'll take a couple of sausages, some hash browns and a doughnut this morning. Got to have something really good in my tummy, so I can manage to put up with the Tuesday Produce vultures. See you all late morning, after I get back home.

Hey CW, how goes it?
Just stopped in for a cuppa coffee...
Haven't been by in a while. Seems like I'm goin' 95 all the time...

You're welcome Mook (and CW!) and I'm counting that as my good deed for the month. Now I can be mischevioius again!
I am caught up after the trip to Phoenix, but have missed meals (ha). CW, thanks for the nice luncheon spred. It will be Tuna Sandwitch with Cream of tomato, but just a small serving of fries.
Going to take the Verde Valley tourist train tomorrow. I have done this several times but always do it again when 1st timers ask. For those who don't know this is a twenty mile trip down the Verde River (and back of course) where there are many types of wild life. Last time we saw a bull elk, bald eagles and herons plus other more common species. This is really a great trip, so if you are in AZ you can catch it at Clarkdale. The train is very comfortable and the onboard narraters do a great job of alerting passengers in advance of unusual sites, and they spot wildlife for you also.
You marketing my bath water as soup? ....OH - Mud soup?
# 3 Please!
Trying hard to stay put. (Spokane was OK, but now LC is a bit excited.)
Helloooooo everyone! Finally made it back down to the house. We had close to 70 people today, and the food selection wasn't too bad, either: bibb lettuce, potatoes, limes, seedless cucumbers, tangerines and cantaloupe.
Fixing sandwiches for lunch:
1. BLTs2. PB &Js3. Open face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters & gravy4. Tuna salad sandwiches
Except for #3, sandwiches come with: fries, and a bowl of soup: chicken noodle, vegetable beef, or cream of tomato
#3 comes with cole slaw, green beans and corn, along
Enjoy your afternoon, and once again, Dan, thanks for taking care of breakfast this morning!!
