Ok Tom, you made my day. I can retire for the nite now.
Bright and early tomorrow - we will begin again!
Evening all.....
Joe, I usually don't go that way, my company is cheap, and wants us to run via Indianapolis, so I get on at MM75, and run east of there. Racked up about $50 in unauthorized tolls anyway, was not going to spend Sunday night in Carlisle (the truckstops there leave a lot to be desired) and run the 2-lanes of PA with 42k in the box.
I think the best travel plazas have to be the new ones Ohio built a few years ago, they have free showers built in, though it is now mostly fast food. A few plazas on the Thruway do have a Fuddruckers, which is pretty good, but that's as close to sitdown as it gets.
I remember the sounds of those Allison aircraft engines, a few years back at Tomah a few pullers installed pairs of them in the Modified and Unlimited Tractor classes, and thought I heard that someone is producing new parts for the engines again....
see everyone later...

Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Randy, good to see you in here!! How are you doing these days? All right, I hope.
Mookie, even if you and Mutt hid your aprons, that won't get you two out of work around here, when we get busy, and I need your help! As a matter of fact, Mutt has a couple of aprons here at the house. Would you like his Kiss the Cook apron, or his Frito Bandito apron?!?! I'm sure he'd be more than happy to share one of them with you!
Very pleasant temps here this morning, not too cool, and not too warm. As Goldilocks would say, "It's just right!" Going for a high today of 85(?) today, with dry conditions.
Coffee, tea, and assorted fruit juices are ready, and on the warmer bar: turkey bacon, pork sausage patties and links, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy. Tom, the biscuits are soft, maybe you could manage to eat some biscuits & gravy for breakfast, with some hash browns; those should be soft enough for you, after visiting the dentist.
Well, today is Produce Tuesday, and man oh man, am I praying that I don't have 114 people again today! Having that many last week, just about made me pull my hair out! Think if I have that many today, maybe I'll make them line up on the sidewalk, like they do at a couple of the other centers.
You all get to pick what you'd like for me to fix for this afternoon and tonight! I know you all can give me some good choices!! How about it, huh?!?!?! (Pretty please, with sugar on top?)
....Wow....55 degrees and clear sunny skies this morning. It's cool..!
Quite a change.

Since we're talking of aprons here, I have one I can contribute. It is made of black cloth and the former manager at Wendy's where I am working handed it to me last year and told me to wear it. The only problem is that it has Amber's name embroidered into it. My former 8th grade science teacher Victor Rames came in for lunch that afternoon and when he saw me, he jokingly told me that he didn't know that I had changed my name! I do use now and then, especially when I am baking bread and cinnamon rolls here in my kitchen.

I went to Wendy's on Saturday and had 3 Jr Bacon Cheeseburgers. Apparently they have been downsized recently, and are now smaller than an apple. I'll need to stick with CW's burgers from now on.
Happy Canada Day to the other Canadians on the forum, and to anyone else looking for something to celebrate. Things are kind of messed up when a holiday is on a Tuesday.
It is good to see Independence Day falls on a Friday, and everyone can stay up late enjoying the fireworks and seeing friends and family.
Dale, at the Wendy's where I am working, we fry hamburger patties that come in two different sizes, 1.5 and 4 ounce. I would encourage you to order a burgher made with the 4 ounce beef, you will get more for your money that way.
Thanks for pointing out to the rest of us that today is Canada Day. In the summer of 1979 I had gone to Calgary, Alberta for a NMRA convention, and I found the Canadian people to be some of the most graceous and hospitable people on the face of the earth. The hospitality of the Canadian people that I had experienced that week is something that I will never forget. I was motivated to make this trip in part, by the music of Canada's premier folk artist, Gordon Lightfoot, and I dream of seeing him come to Sioux Falls for a concert or two, but being that he is nearing 70 years in age, I kind of doubt that will ever happen.
Idle time here to get well . ~~~ If any one would like to see the pics. of Crown King fire , go to ~~~~ dCourier.com It's easy to find pic's. There was a fire ban issued Friday because of steep mountain terrain. Not a smooth move by the flatlander who set the fire.

Canada Day marks the beginning of a four day general event here in my area along the St. Lawrence River. Actually, with the 4th being Friday, it'll be a six day event - lots of folks from both sides of the River having a good time (some perhaps will have too good a time).
As CP2816 points out, Canadians are very civil - always a pleasure to deal with them.
They do run into some problems on the Interstate, though. Just a little too fast....

He was in Omaha just last year, so you never know.

Randy: I have 16 CD,s in the Foyles War series. and really enjoy them.
I have a daughter the lives in England, so I get a four pack of that series every now and again.

Mookie, don't worry: Mutt's not really in the doghouse! (Of course, Win stays in the house, and we don't actually have a doghouse!) And, here's the Kiss the Cook apron for you!
Things were kind of back to normal, people wise, at Produce this morning: only had 84 people today. Unfortunately, we had a wreck out front this morning. A lady, her daughter, and grandson were almost hit by a car. They were just about ready to go back to their car and get in to sit down for awhile, when a grey car, possibly a Toyota, hit a black Chevy Blazer and the daughter's white car. No one was in the Blazer, but the white car was rear ended, and pushed up onto the sidewalk. Had two different patrol cars, and the first one carted off the driver of the grey car to jail (he had apparently been drinking).
Got some fresh peaches today at Produce, along with onions, iceburg lettuce and yellow summer squash.
Now to post today's menu: open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters & gravy, green beans, cole slaw, and dinner rolls.
Everyone have a great afternoon, and take care!!

Thanks Ray, I'll try that next time. I had found that 3 Jr Bacons were just the right size for lunch.

That would be an accurate summation...
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Hope you all had a very good evening!
The coffee, juices, lemonade and teas are made for today. Looks like it's going to end up being a hot day around our area; they say we're going up to a high of 90 today. Oh well, guess the cool, pleasant temps couldn't last forever.
On the breakfast bar this morning: turkey bacon, pork sausage, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, hash browns, buttermilk pancakes w/maple or blueberry syrup, scrambled eggs, cantaloupe slices and chunks, and nice, cool watermelon. There's also bagels and bear claws
Think I'll take my mug of coffee, and head into the garden, watch nature and trains. Just give me a holler if you need anything!
.....Earlier, at my first look, it was 67....add 20 to that and it should get rather warm today. Right now humidity does feel reasonable though. Still more shrubs to trim. Have been sidetracked lately. Don't do that when the humidity is high coupled with hot sun.
Several beautiful days here...including yesterday.
Item: Non leaded reg....$4.09 {Bargain, it came down a bit}.

Unleaded here in Omaha is still between $3.80 and $3.90, depending on where you go.
It's already 80 degrees at 10:00 AM today. We have a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon and severe weather is possible. Storms are the last thing Omaha needs, since 3,800 households are still without power, nearly 5 days after the thunderstorms from last Friday. I would enjoy a storm, though!
Mookie and Larry,
The plume (tutu) at the rear of the wing is water vapor.
Because of the shape of an airfoil, (wing) air moves over one surface faster than over the other.
At high forward speeds, you get the plume where the two air streams meet.
Because they intersect with such force, the water or moisture in the air is condensed...quite similar to the condensation found in air compressors...air compressed quickly forms condensation and heat.
You can often see this effect at the tips of the wing...swept wing and retractable wing air craft can put on quite a show...and any Delta wing, like the French Mirage, can create this effect simply by accelerating or turning sharply.
The shape of the plume depends on the speed of the air craft and the moisture content of the surrounding air...the closer to mach 1 you get, the more the air compresses at the trailing edge.
Past mach 1 the phenomenon ceases because most air craft that fly faster than sound either retract their wings close to the fuselage or alter the shape of the air foil...the airfoil surface is smaller and the compression is less.
Past mach 1 you no longer need the same amount of lift supplied by the airfoil...your velocity overcomes the need for it, you simply need steering surfaces.

Quentin and Willy, our curent temp at 12:35 is between 83 and 85 degrees, with a good breeze from the southwest.
Ed, I learned something from your post on the vapor around the aircraft! That was very educational for me, at least.
Today's menu is on the oriental side: chop suey, chow mein, sweet & sour pork, won ton soup, egg rolls, shrimp w/lobster sauce, beef w/broccoli, pepper steak w/onion, shrimp w/mixed vegetables, moo goo gai pancurry chicken, fried scallops and Mongolian beef. Plus, we have pork fried rice, shrimp fried rice, beef fried rice, chicken fried rice,, vegetable fried rice and special fried rice.
Hope you all enjoy the change in menu today, and have a great afternoon!
