My own bed is going to feel good tonight, considering what I have been dealing with for the last two or three hours. I have been having some problems with my neck and shoulders to the point where I have been very uncomfortable at work. I came very close to blacking out and collapsing in the Kitchen where I work within the last couple hours. Enough with all that! I have booked an appointment with my chiropractor tomorrow morning. And on top of all this, I lost the left lens out of my glasses. I figured I'm due for an eye exam and new glasses. The numb feeling in my shoulders does not respond very well to heat, and I only get temporary relief with an ice pack.
I may drop out of sight for a few days because of all this, but at least the rest of you folks know what's going on.

Let me check the calendar here. Yep, November 6th and it's 70 degrees in the wilds of northern New York.
Gonna bail out of work a little early today so I can go get a flu shot (mixed blessing?). Then it's off to put our pumper back together after some repairs and then the fire meeting. Bed's gonna feel good tonight!

Looks like we've been kind of slow in here this morning. I've warmed up Ray's chili and the beef stew he made yesterday, and made some fresh cornbread for the beef stew. It's ready and on the warmer bar. Got some sandwiches made up to go with the chili: PB&J and grilled cheese. Ray, looks like you made enough, so there'll probably be enough of both for supper tonight, as well. Thank you, one again, for fixing both yesterday afternoon.
Everyone take care, and have a very good afternoon.
EDIT: I'm really glad that Ray fixed enough yesterday, that we could have leftovers today. A semi pulled up out front earlier, and took a couple of big branches out of our pine tree in the front yard. So, we'll be out most of the afternoon, getting that cut up, and carried to the back.
......Mid morning here finds 62 plus degrees and partly sunny skies. Should warm into the low 70's by afternoon.
Believe I'll try to make a pass over the lawn while weather is so nice and do a mowing and mulch what leaves have blown over from nieghbors. Not too bad in that respect now.
Cooler this weekend and some light rain possible.
Weekend coming fast.

Good morning!
Dan, thanks for serving breakfast this morning! I think I'll pour myself a cup of coffee and grab a roll while I am in here.
Currently here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota we have a grey, cloudy, overcast sky and a temp of 40 degrees. We have a 70% chance of getting some rain at some point today and a 70% chance of snow for tomorrow. I still haven't cleaned out my gutters yet!
I hope the rest of you out there all have a good day!
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
Good Thursday morning, everyone. We have a current temp in the low 50s, supposed to get up to about 75. Then, the rain comes in sometime tonight, as the cold front approaches.
Dan, thank you very much for breakfast this morning!
Tom, I'm also wondering as Ed Benton is doing. Hopefully, someone around here can provide us with an update, maybe Ed himself.
Have a good morning, everyone, and see you all later.
Has anyone heard from Ed Benton lately? He was talking serious surgery last time he came aboard and nothing since.

I'll get the coffee going this morning. Mook should like her mug topped off and ready to go. Donuts, beagles, bearclaws, and fruit are out as that's all the stuff I've got time for as of now. Running late (hard to fathom at 4:23 AM)!
Dan
Really good chili is normally allowed to simmer on the stove for about 4 hours, that's the way we do it at Wendy's. Therefore my pot of chili should be ready to serve by about 5:00 PM, CST. And my bread dough is going through it's first rising. If it were really possible for anyone of you folks to come knocking on my front door, you would be able to smell the aroma of freshly baked bread even before I open my door!
Joe, thanks for bringing the crackers. That is something I never thought of!
Chili sounds great! I'll go find some crackers.
Good afternoon everybody. 64 and cloudy in Carolina this afternoon.Still a little headache, but improving. Ray, you hit the nail on the head with that chili. I've been thinking about that for days. Thanks. Everybody take care
CW, for dinner tonight I might suggest beef stew and chili. I am going to make a big pot of chili, it's something I know how to do very well being that I have worked for the Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburger chain for almost two years. I have the day off and I will also provide a few loaves of homemade bread to go with our beef stew and chili.
We barely have 64 degrees here in Sioux Falls, and we have a 60% chance of a thunderstorm for later this afternoon and into tonight. I have looked at the web site of the Weather Underground and our chances of of rain tomorrow are greater, at 70% with a 60% chance of snow on Friday.
I did my patriotic duty last night and made the trek up to 1st United Methodist Church (roughly about a mile and a half from my house) to cast my ballot in the elections. In walking home though, I got somewhat disoriented and ended up walking an extra mile before I was finally home. The polls here closed about 2 minutes after I got home.
I kind of feel that my votes did not count, but at least I no longer have to listen to any political radio ads.
Should have enough of the breakfast menus for our West Coast friends who come in; for the rest of us, here's what's on tap for the rest of the day:
I have turkey club sandwiches w/your choice of fries or chips; bologna & cheese sandwiches; grilled cheese sandwiches; tomato soup, cream of broccoli soup.
Still trying to figure out something for our supper menu tonight. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?!?!?! My brain is still on the foggy side this morning (and we had not fog here this morning, outside), so would appreciate any and all suggestions!!
As others have said this morning, take advantage of this nice, beautiful fall weather. Looks like Indian Summer is just about over for us all. I don't recall if we are to start getting rain chances later on tonight, or if it will wait until tomorrow to come a knockin' at the door!!
MookieWhile it is always sunny here in the diner, it is cloudy here in the TMW. Prediction of snow flurries tomorrow in the north will end our wonderful November weather
Contrasting weather predictions.....Today, we have clear blue skies as we've been having....and tomorrow it is to be to 77 degrees here in our part of the mid west...central In.
The weekend will be cooler.
Thanx CW/Dan - I am hungry this morning. Celebrating the end of political ads! Don't think I could have taken one more day of them.
While it is always sunny here in the diner, it is cloudy here in the TMW. Prediction of snow flurries tomorrow in the north will end our wonderful November weather.
But one more day today with the south window open and very moderate temps.
Think I hurt myself getting the paper off the porch this morning - most news we have had in months! Off to hammock....

JoeKohwell the weatherman says November will show up about Friday
Yep - Forecast for Saturday is rain and 40-ish. At least there's not a lot of outside work to do on the "Murder Mystery" trains.
The heck with the bearclaw this morning. I'm diggin' in! Thanks, Dan!
Now that the campaign is over, we can sit back and see if the folks who got elected (all the way from dog catcher right up to the top) remember all their campaign promises.
morning
well the weatherman says november will show up about friday and into the weekend.we will see.another nice day today.our leaves on our trees are almost gone so after a nap I'll check out the gutters.Sarah be safe switching those cars please.Thanks for breakfast Dan!!
LOL CW! It's gotta be the 'fog of morning' that lets that happen. At least nobody will starve in here!
CNW 6000Mornin' all...time for a big breakfast! Steak/eggs are ready to go so grab a plate! If that's too much for ya I've got a few omlettes, a tub of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and some fruit ready too. I'm wondering when November will arrive (weather-wise) up here. Got some more yardwork done but I fear this may be the 'calm before the storm' so to speak.

Dan, I know I'm short, but how do we keep from seeing each other in the kitchen?!?! I must be more asleep than I was thinking this morning! Your breakfast sounds better than the one I fixed. I'll take a slice of steak, instead of bacon and sausage.
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Looks like another great day on tap, weather-wise. Going back up to about 78 degrees today, and most temps are currently in the mid to upper 40s, if I heard the temps correctly.
Coffee, juices, and other beverages are ready.
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, tater tots, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, and, of course, bagels and bear claws.
Mookie, got your coffee mug down, cleaned it, and it's waiting for you to come in, and I'll make sure it's filled for you!!
Everyone, have a great morning.
Sarah - Keep up the good work, be careful, and before too long you won't be the youngest.
Hello there glad to see many people got out and cast their votes today. I was also very happy to see so many voters my age out there!!! (The youngin's) lol
It was a nice day here in Louisville, KY today it got up to about 75 degrees, it definitly was a nice day to be outside. I was ouside most of this morning into early afternoon at work. I got to work the hump RCO the first time today. Actually, I guess you can say I was in training on the hump. CSX last week put me in an RCO class. I really do enjoy the class and I also like runing the RCO box (It's like running a model railroad only in 1 to 1 scale) lol, but what I don't like about it is the "politics" behind it, espually...since some of the most dangerous jobs in the yard are now one man RCO jobs, and I'm still a "rookie" employee. Actually, I'm the youngest employee on the whole Louisville Division. Isn't that something????
cherokee woman Afternoon everybody. Tom, glad to know you're doing better!!!! And, what's this discount you're talking about?Haven't you noticed that we do not have a cash register in here? Everything is free in here, anyway.

And, speaking of free, lunch is now on the warmer bar: our regular Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now under way with all the different burritos, tacos, Spanish rice, fajitas, chimichangas, etc., along with tortilla chips and dips.
Sarah just called, she's on her way home. Then, the three of us will go cast our votes on the election waters.
Produce truck showed up at 9:10 this morning, five minutes after the ladies came to open the door. Today, we had: cabbage, cole slaw mix, greens, spinach, apples, sliced carrots, and apples. I was back home at 10:00. When I left and came home, we had had 46 people. Quite a bit down below the normal numbers. Imagine all the others had decided to go to the polls first.
You all enjoy your meal, and see you all later.
....56 degrees right now in Indiana and bright sunshine with a cloudless sky. Been blessed with beautiful weather for weeks.
Voting, for us is complete....Did so, 2 weeks ago. Even was a small line then with 4 machines operating in our City-County building.
