Dear Tree: When you finish at home, I think we need a new rest room in the diner - you know - a place for my hammock. No handyperson goes unnoticed in this place!
Q - I get locked out every so often and figure it is for just cleaning out the cobwebs. Hotmail does it too.
Hi Randy - county fair sounds like fun. Haven't been to one in many years.
CW - I think cold pizza sounds good this am. Let's see - pizza, chocolate milk, a little dunking....
Ah!
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
Randy, enjoy your 'vacation'! And have "Fun fun fun" at the fair!!
Quentin, we've clouded up a few times this morning, but haven't even received a drop of rain. It's only a very small chance for today/this afternoon/evening, so it's anyone's guess if we actually do see something come of it. Should be a better chance sometime tomorrow, and most likely Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sunday Dinner menu:
1. Beef roast w/potatoes and carrots, cole slaw, green beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts, corn, slightly sweetened baked cornbread.
2. Taco salad,
Desserts: all the regular items on the dessert menu: chocolate cake, pies, cobblers, ice cream, homemade oatmeal cookies (sorry, didn't have any raisins on hand to put in the cookies.)
...Finally, able to get to this web site....Could not a few hours ago...it would "time out" and not connect. I have this happen every once in a while....I'm just assuming perhaps it's a maintenance issue with the site but haven't heard anyone else comment of the same situation. Anyway, it pulled right up at this try....and that's the way it's reacted in the past too.
Agree with C W.....This will be a hot one, if storms don't cool it all down a bit. We're to have a chance of PM weather in spots here in central Indiana today. Had a half inch in a quick downpour mid afternoon yesterday. Didn't last long but it sure did rain in the short time it passed thru....
Quentin
Ah, it good to be home.....
Home for a week or so for vacation, spending most of it helping out at our county fair which starts wednesday, was down there yesterday helping put on some final touches.
Supposed to be warm and humid today, with rain later. Humidity supposed to drop after monday, and stay low for most of the week. Will grab something light, then off to the fairgrounds for more prep work and cleaning.
See everyone later.

Good Sunday morning, everyone. Warm here this morning, with a temp of 80 degrees. Supposed to have a high of only 95 today. Not really any chance at all of any rain until sometime tomorrow, I believe.
If anyone wants to try out for American Idol, come on to Louisville, if your between 16 and 28 years of age. People have been in a line to sign up since Friday night, and they will continue to sign people up until 8 a.m. tomorrow (Monday, 7/21/08), when they start the auditions.
Cannonball, bet you and Shirl are really looking forward to your trip. At that time in October, you should see quite a bit of autumn color in the trees. And, it shouldn't be so darn hot, either!!
Coffee is ready, along with oj, oj-tangerine, pineapple juice, apple juice and grape juice, iced teas, hot water for hot tea and milk.
On the breakfast bar this morning: pancakes, waffles, turkey bacon, pork sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, fried taters, and homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, cantaloupe and watermelon.
Larry, sounds like things are coming right along for you on your project.
Enjoy your breakfast, and have a great morning.
And the renovations continue. Got three of the four closet doors cleaned up and poly'd. Ran out of both stripper and sandpaper on the last one, so it'll have to wait a day or so until I can find time to restock.
It's looking pretty good. Don't know if I'll have all the 'little' details done in time, but by and large, it's coming together.

Now that sounds like a really fun trip....Hope you can make all the connections w/o major problems. Enjoy...!
Back in the 70's the Cardinal traveled {on C&O}, thru Muncie here south towards Cincinnati. Route is now Cardinal Greenway Trail.
switch7frg I am envious of you...heheheh You got to get on the train to Ohio for a senic trip. I'm assuming you took Amtrak?? I haven't been on it for 2 years. Amtrak doesn't run here in Louisville anymore
CW can I have the Chesse Pizza w/ some extra chesse please?? I could really go for some of that right now, and a nice cool drink!
It is HOTT, HOTT, HOTT down here in Kentucky. I just wish it would cool down a bit, or I wish I could go swiming.
Y6bs evergreen in my mind

Message From:The Cook
CW thanks for the pizza. a track maintainer had a problem getting to work on csx because of too many trains.Once the 110 cleared(csxs hot ups train) the dispatcher could free up the track.Mookie as I told our forum friend mike yesterday we go to the mom and pop diners and some truckstops to eat.if you go hungry its your own fault.
stay safe

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").
Mutt - I "browsed" through a birdie book (field guide) and an iced latte at the bookstore. Had breakfast at our favorite truck stop.
Driver gave me a card many years ago with a covered wagon on the front and a couple sitting on the seat - inside it said "Ate out again, it was good!" That's my Saturdays!

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!!
Well, we seem to be having computer problems today. Browser problems. May not be able to be back in later. So, I've made up the pizzas for tonight, and they're in the freezer. All one of you has to do is put them into the oven, in case Mutt and I are unable to get in this evening.
.....It looks like hazy, hot for us too today....76 plus right now, so that's a good start. Possible shower but the % is low.
Last day for our county fair....they sure had a good warm, dry week for it. It has run annually now for over a hundred years.
Good Saturday morning, everyone! Another hazy, hot and humid day ahead. We have a 20% chance of rain around 6 p.m. tonight. Wonder if we'll get it. (Mookie, talk about a mystery!)
Coffee is ready, along with hot water for tea, fresh iced tea (sweet & unsweetened), lemonade, oj, oj/tangerine, pineapple, grape, and apple juice are all available this morning.
On the breakfast bar this morning: turkey bacon, pork sausage links & patties, hash browns, eggs (however you want them), buttermilk pancakes, oatmeal, toast, bagels, bear claws, cantaloupe, watermelon, cinnamon rolls, country fried steak & country fried pork chops and grits.
You all enjoy your brunch, have a good, safe day, and come back around 6, 7 p.m. for our Saturday Night Pizza Fest.

Hello everyone. Sorry I've been so scarce this afternoon. Been fighting with the computer, and don't really know if anything is resolved or not. Will just have to wait and see.
Here's our Friday Fish Fry menu:
Cod, Perch, Shrimp, Rainbow trout, widemouth bass, walleye, and Jumbo shrimp.
Regular sides of corn on the cob, fries, hushpuppies, and cole slaw.
Desserts tonight: Plenty of chocolate cake (especially for Tom, Mookie, Dennis, and the rest of us chocolics, including yours truly), and the following pies: apple, blueberry, cherry, peach and chocolate. Also ice cream to go on top.
Everyone have a great evening, and who knows, I may pop in myself, later on.

It's a wonder we don't get into the same situation here Jen.....Our population increases about 20,000 during the school year from the students at Ball State Un. But it's really not too bad with that problem.
Wow....The coveralls in the dryer....Not to savy...!
We're now at 74 degrees here in Muncie land, and that too means....HOT today. Our instrument registered 93 plus yesterday plus the humidity made it "stay inside if poss."...But we love the nice sunny week. Our county fair is ongoing this week. We're the county seat and the Fair Grounds are right inside of our little city and pretty nice.
You all have a nice day on this TGIF.....I have to look at my watch to determine that it is anymore....
Someone else that likes chocolate! Tom will be ok as long as he doesn't hit the chocolate cake too often. Been known to mash a finger or two if it was between me and utopia.
Q - we are a college town, but have a mix of generations. The apartments were mostly the younger generation that are now more experience! We did have an older gentleman that used gasoline to clean some items, got it on his coveralls and threw them in the dryer to dry them. Kinda ended up drying the whole house!
We have gone years w/o major fires and now a whole spate of them.
Joe - I may get to watch fishing live this afternoon. A cooler day, so I am sure an outing is in the offing.
CW - tangerine juice. Hmmm. Might have to taste that!
Happy Friday.
morning
another busy night at work but thats all done.going to take a nap and maybe matt and I will see whats on csx.Going to have plenty of water along with us.Tom if you want chocolate you will have to consult with mookie first.
7AM & 70 here - bodes for a hot day. Took the day off to clean and try to finish up the guest room.
Good morning Americans. it's FRIDAY!!!!
CW, my but you're early this morning. Thanks for the breakfast. If you will, I'll just wander down the counter and check things out. Everything sounds good, and I have a taste for chocolate this morning. Currently 72 in Carolina with another hottun forecast. I plan to stay inside today and cool it! Everybody stay cool and safe

Good Friday morning, everyone. Going to be another 3H day around here, with an air quality alert in place.
Coffee, iced tea, hot water for hot tea, oj, oj/tangerine, pineapple and grape juice are all ready to go this morning.
On the breakfast bar this morning: cinnamon rolls, muffins, danish, and doughnuts of all kinds: cake, glazed, chocolate covered long johns, chocolate covered doughnuts w/ cream, doughnuts w/vanilla icing on them, and vanilla pudding inside, bagels and bear claws, and there's fresh cantloupe, watermelon and pineapple slices.
You all enjoy your breakfast, and have a good morning.
.....J:
You better have them pass a law that it's unlawful to burn the city down....That's terrible....! Wonder why your location is being so hard hit with that problem....I know you said carelessness, and maybe it is. Too bad for all the {lives....?}, homes and businesses and real estate being lost.
And on another note - went on an interesting train chase today. Speed was not necessary. In fact, I'd have chased it even more but I ran out of time (I had another hour to kill but the train was deep in the woods).
