Joe, glad you found the leftover pizza!!
Sorry - no chicken left over from the barbeque today, or I'd share.
But I'm good with roast beef any time!

Sounds good. Will you need help around here on Thursday?

Good Monday morning, everyone. Gee, I'm running late this morning, and no one's been in here since I was in last night?!?! You all must have worn yourselves out yesterday!
Coffee and other beverages are ready this morning, and the usual breakfast items of turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast, hash browns or tater tots, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy are on the warmer bar.
Have a great morning, and take care!
morning
its a cool start but the sunrise is beautiful this morning.mookie and carl saw a powder river coal train in the siding but couldn't see the power up front.we had too many semi trailers parked in our lot.going to get a nap then this afternoon going to fill out my brackets.
Joe
Joe et al - it was eerily quiet all nite last nite. We didn't go out yesterday - kind of a blah day. Stayed home and played domestic goddess. Sat was a good day, tho. Sent lots of coal east and south. And moved some freight. Nothing unusual, tho.
Know the Chicken is out there. He seems a little quiet. Need to rattle his cage a little more.
CW - a cup of good coffee - I made coffee this morning and it is acky....
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
Hope the white stuff is rain by the time it gets to you Mooks. Willy2 has to be watching this.
Weatherliar started with flurries, then 2-4", then 4-8", then 6-12", then 8-16". Hit the green beer a little too early? At least the ground was warm so it melted (so far) on the street, driveway and sidewalk.
Beautiful morning here - even if it is only 16 at 8 am.
Daughter and her husband are headed south to visit the new arrival next weekend. If my son has his way, I'll be tagging along, but I'm waiting to see what other plans my potential ride may have for the trip and whether I can be something other than extra baggage. I'll probably run down in a few more weeks and visit them again anyhow.
That hot tea's gonna taste good this morning.
As an aside - we have our annual "St Patrick's Day" chicken barbeque at the same time each year, for obvious reasons. The weather over the years has ranged from icy to warm, bordering on hot, and we've had to deal with ice melting under the fire and dousing it to responding to grass fires. You just never know what March will bring.

Happy St. Patrick's Day All!!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
St. Patrick is largely responsible for having kicked some of my ancestors out of Ireland. Now here is the story and to some degree, it is true!
Back when St. Patrick was involved in the governmental affairs of Ireland, the country was in the middle of a famine and the Irish people were starving. To make matters worse, the country was invaded by Norse Vikings, and they were eating what little food was available, and there was not enough to go around for both the Irish people and their Norwegian invaders, so St. Patrick knew that he had to find some way to get rid of them.
He first organized a team of volunteers and they went out and they dumped poisonous lye in all the lakes and streams in Ireland, hoping that this would kill off all the fish and thus force the Norwegian Vikings to leave. However, this did not work because to this day Norwegians enjoy codfish which has been soaked in lye, and it's called "Lutefisk"!
St. Patrick then organized a band of sabateurs and they went out and they wrecked the hydro-electric power plants in Ireland in the hopes that it would cause the food in the refrigerators of the Norwegian invadors to spoil and thus force them to leave Ireland. But this did not work either, because it has long been rumored that Norwegians are known to thrive on spoiled food!
Well it got so bad that the Norse invadors were even taking the entire Irish potato crop to make their lefse with! So on March 17th when St. Patrick was at his wit's end and didn't really know what else he could do, he finally really blew his cork and he told all the Norwegians in Ireland to "Go to Hell!"
And it worked! They all left Ireland and made their way to Dakota Territory!!
This is basically how my great, great grandparents ended up in South Dakota. And as Paul Harvey would say, "And now you know the rest of the story!"
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

....March is certainly a transition month here in central Indiana....It can be 70 degrees and perhaps it might be snowing. But today, the sun is peeking out off and on and the temp is 35 and rising and some things are just getting ready to pop for spring. Tulips are up and on their way, Robins all over the place.....so not bad at all. My favorite time of the year just around the corner.
Just hope the very nasty weather that can be associated with spring around this mid western area of tornado alley is not overly active this spring. Bring on the beautiful blossoms....That, is beauty...!

Here in the north country we have four seasons: Leaf raking, snowing, mud, and construction.
The midwest (true and otherwise) also has four seasons: construction, leaf raking (except in the plains, where there are no trees, snowing, and "DUCK!"
Our weather here this morning in Sioux Falls, South Dakota is a bit nasty. I got home from work last night around 10:00 and it started snowing here shortly thereafter. We have at least two to three inches of fresh snow on the ground and there is more on the way. We've had it so nice the past week with temperatures rising up into the mid-50's. I guess we can't have good weather all the time. At last report we had about 33 degrees here.
Gee, I forgot something this morning:
HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY TO ONE AND ALL!! (Even if you're not of Irish descent, we claim everyone as Irish today!!)
Mookie, sorry to hear that you had such a blah day yesterday, but good to hear that you had a half way decent Saturday.
On today's menu: what else, but corned beef and cabbage, cole slaw, and for those who don't like corned beef & cabbage, there's plenty of leftover beef roast, taters, carrots, onion form Sunday Dinner.
And, since we don't serve alcoholic beverages in here, I've made some green tea for today: not actually colored green, unless you want to add some green food coloring to it.
.....But don't forget the tornado part of our season is a reality.....Yes, in this mid west part of the country, that is a real danger in this area. We here, specifically have had close calls but so far we've been spared right here {in our spot}, since we built our home 37 years ago. Massive damage within a half mile of us in times past.
Anyone seen this snowstorm that was supposed to hit us hard? Appears to be MIA or wimped-out.
Massive corned-beef and cabbage fix needed here.
The corned beef and cabbage, as well as the loftover beef roast, etc., are all on the warmer bar, just waiting for you all to come fill your plates.
Mudchicken, heard on the news this morning, that you all were supposed to get quite a bit of the white stuff! Guess it must have fizzled out, before getting to you all, huh?

Dan
Dan, would you like a cold beef roast sandwich, and some chips?!?! If so, I'll have it ready for you in just a few minutes.
Mookie, I feel the same way about cabbage; I'll only eat it three ways: in salad, in cole slaw, and in homemade vegetable soup! (Just to fix boiled cabbage, I can't stand the smell, and that ruins it for my even trying to eat it: cause it stinks up my kitchen!!)
Bob, I'll try to remember and fix it more often, with a couple of other choices for those who don't care for corned beef & cabbage.
Mookie wrote: spokyone wrote:I'm grabbin some corned beef and cabbage. Hmm. I wonder why we don't have this more often. Thanks CW. because it has been labeled "hazardous material".....
CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE = "NATURAL" GAS
Sure enough: Here's the MSDS

That'd be more than fine. You don't have to bring it over, just toss it when you get close enough.
