Currently 68 degrees here in Louisville, with drizzle. Mookie, glad you decided you weren't too tired for a slice of cake, and a glass of milk (with bendable straw in glass!).
Since it's kind of cool, and with the drizzling rain out, thought I'd fix beef stew w/baked cornbread for lunch and supper. There's two large dutch ovens on the stove, so we should have enough to last for the day, at least. There's also some roast, taters & carrots left from supper last night, if anyone would rather have that.
Banks, businesses, along with some other places (like Metro Louisville offices) will be closing early today, so everyone who isn't staying downtown for the Derby Festival Parade, can clear out and get home. Yesterday was the steamboat race, with the Belle of Louisville and the Cincinnatti Belle. Sorry about Cincinnati losing the race to the Belle of Louisville yesterday evening. Even though I'm glad the Belle won, it would have been nice for Cincinnati to win it's first time competing against the Belle. Seems to me that there should be another actual steamboat competing against the Belle, and not diesel steamboats. But, that's the way the cookie crumbles, isn't it. Cincinnati, maybe you'll win the antlers next year!!
A dark rainy day....and probably another one tomorrow. Sure glad I did get my mowing finished last evening. Temp now: 63.
Everything really green and growing.

I'm too tired for cake...well, okay, maybe not. But milk will need a bent straw.

Cool here for the next few days, with some rain possible.
The bulb garden is getting ready to bloom - many of the tulips are showing color but haven't opened yet.
Rules classes are this weekend - two days of NORAC and air brakes. Found out I'm missing a couple of documents in my rules binder, so I've got to get them caught up.
Plus some work on the truck Friday. And it's definitely time to exchange the snowblower and the mower. The lawn has decided to launch. Maybe it'll be nice on Monday! Gotta sit around and wait for the furnace guy anyhow...

Good Thursday morning everyone. Pleasant morning here, with a temp in the mid 60s. Still have a chance of rain/storm showers, but the map looks like it's tracking northeast of us, so maybe we'll be in the clear today.
I have the coffee ready, and so are the juices and water is heating for hot tea.
On the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, and homemade buttermilk pancakes w/plenty of Maple, strawberry or blueberry syrup.
Mookie, made sure your coffee mug is down, and ready to pour coffee into, as soon as you come in the door. (And I've even put back a couple slices of chocolate cake for us to have with our coffee this morning!)
I call him every once in awhile, and maybe once in a blue moon will get an email from him. Talked to him a couple of weeks ago. Since he started working for UP, there in North Little Rock, he doesn't get a chance to get online much, and come into the Cafe/Diner. Maybe I'll try to give him a call tomorrow night, and see how he's doing.

mudchicken Somebody say roast? Not even for Sunday dinner??? Following the Jaegerschnitzel/Spatzle/Red Cabbage for lunch (after 6 hours of precision level loops in 60 degree weather).....today is too good. Gus/Doogie/Nigel will be looking for the beef juice in their bowls.

Larry, you must have either seen the chocolate cake I baked this morning, as it was cooling on the counter, or you read my mind!
On today's menu, for lunch and supper:
Sirloin beef roast w/potatoes and carrots, your choice of cole slaw or garden salad, macaroni & cheese, broccoli w/butter sauce, and strawberry Jell-O to go with the chocolate cake for dessert. How does that sound to everyone Or, maybe you'd like to have a nice, hot-from-the-oven Dutch apple pie w/vanilla ice cream.
For a little bit, a couple of hours ago, it looked like we could get one of those stray showers forecast for today. But, as far as I know, we didn't get a drop.
Our current temp here in Louisville is 71, in the downtown area, 70 out at the airport's official NWS site.
You all enjoy your lunch and your afternoon, and take care.
Good Morning All:
Cloudy and humid here in Alamo City. Currently 75. May have a chance for more rain later today. Its slowly starting to green up here.
Pssst - Watch this!
Chocolate Cake.
^.....?
Mornin. 71 and sunny in Carolina today. Thanks for breakfast and the steak last night. Nothing to speak of on the wireless so I may just take a nap. Everybody take care.

Earlier it was said this was to be a dry day.....but mist is in the air. Possible dry periods forecast for this afternoon, if so....I hope to take advantage of it and get to mowing....or it will get ahead of me {for sure}, this time. Next 2 or 3 days....rain forecast. 51 here now.
Good morning. CW, thanks for breakfast this morning. I think I'll grab a bear claw while I am in here this morning. I woke up with a bit of a sore throat this morning and I am not sure I will be leaving my house at all today. Right now it is raining here in Sioux Falls and we could get as much as 3/4 to one inch of rain before the end of the day. And at the present moment we have a temp of 49 degrees.
Good Wednesday morning, everyone! I'm glad everyone enjoyed the steaks last night! And Walt did an excellent job handling the grill!! Thank you, Walt, for grilling the wonderful steaks last night!
Coffee, juices, and hot water for tea are ready.
On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage (links & patties), scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, bagels, bear claws, blueberry muffins, and fresh cantaloupe & watermelon chunks.
Yeah, Johnny, we get used to one thing, and it's time to change again. But, at least we'll still be here for our anniversary coming up Tuesday. Hard to believe that we've been open, in one form or another, for five years!! Thank you, Jim (JHH), for starting the Diner!!
Mookie, here's your coffee mug, all ready to go! Who else is ready for a cup?
tree68 Just a reminder - if you've got stuff stowed in the cooler, you'll need to get it out - we'll be remodelling again soon!

Good afternoon, everyone. The rain started about 8:15 this morning, while I was continuing to put names on the Produce Sign-In Sheet. Finished writing, then came back towards the house, and we sat on our porch, until the ladies showed up to unlock the gym door.
Ray, thanks for adding to the breakfast menu this morning.
On the Dare to Care truck this morning: apples, bananas, cabbage, kale greens and potatoes. Only 51 people showed up this morning (they kind of dragged in, too). The other close-by center was open today, so imagine that's where most of our other regulars were this morning.
Walt rolled out the awning over the patio, and we have the grill going with: T-bones, sirloin, and rib eye steaks. There's even some 'baked' potatoes on the grill and grilled veggie kabobs. Side dishes: baked beans, cole slaw, green bean salad, and potato salad. (Yes, Tom, I made sure and picked out thick, meaty t-bones!!)
Regular dessert menu to select from, after you finish your meal, of course! (I know, I'm being a meanie, making you all eat before you can have dessert, right?
Everyone enjoy, and have a good afternoon.
Good morning to all you fine people and you too -X*X@X*X!X-. 66 degrees and sunny in Carolina on the way to HOT later today. Thanks for breakfast Paula and Ray. Howabout some T-bone, preferably with meat on it, for supper?? Yall have a good day and take care
I'm in here a bit late, but I am throwing together a few things for breakfast this morning. The grill is hot and I've got some buttermilk pancake batter ready for pouring, there is also some pork sausage links on the grill and bacon as well. And there will be french toast and scrambled eggs for anyone who might want that. I think CW has already made the coffee, but I will make an extra pot just in case we should run low on coffee. There is a pitcher of fresh orange juice in the fridge.
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
cherokee womanQuentin and Justin, you all may be getting some already.
Yes, we're getting the light rain now....Started sometime during the overnight but no storming so didn't hear when it started. This was expected for Monday and Tuesday..{none here Mon. though}, and tomorrow, it's to be sunny again. So that will be another mowing day.
