Larry, those pictures are very good. I'm not Mookie, but thanks for sharing them with us!!
Joe, we just finished watching the ball game. That was a real pitcher's battle, wasn't it? (Cincy won 3 to 1, for those of you who don't follow
the Cincinnati Red baseball team.)
Think I'm gonna get a bowl of cobbler and put some ice cream on top of it. Maybe it'll help cool me off: we have a temp of 87 degrees F. at
9:50 p.m.
Good Saturday morning, everyone. Decided to sleep in a little bit this morning, and get through the paper before coming in. I figured everyone else was doing the same thing this morning.
Coffee is on, there's hot water for tea, and the juices are freshly made. On the warmer bar this morning: cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins and strawberry muffins, fresh out of the oven.
I hope there will be some of you straggling in, and that I haven't made a mistake getting breakfast together for this morning! I imagine there are quite a few who have other plans for this holiday weekend. We three here in Louisville, will be going to the big Stewart Flea Market and Antique shindig at the Ky. Esposition Center later on, probably around 1 or 2 this afternoon. So our Pizza Fest might be a little bit late tonight.
Everyone have a good day, and take care, whatever you'll be doing today.
hello! hello! hello! hello! hello! hello! hello! hello!
Humf... Empty... Well, looks like CW, has been here. I will eat all of the muffans, cinamon rolls, and juices she fixed this morning if no one eats them by the time I count to 10. 1,... 2,...3,... 10! Scarf! Yumm those were good! Can't wait for the Pizza Fest tonight. If anone shows up... Maby I will have to eat all the pizza's too...
The road to to success is always under construction. _____________________________________________________________________________ When the going gets tough, the tough use duct tape.
Careful, Justin--remember all the warnings we have received recently about overeating.
Yesterday, we took care of the hardest part to painting the house: Ricki decided on the colors. I went to get the paint this morning--and the store was out of five gallon buckets of the base. So, I will have to find other things to do Monday and Tuesday (more may be in Wednesday). But, we are promised four or five (if it rains today) days of rain showers, and the carport ceiling will take only so long to paint.
It does look as though almost everybody has extremely importsnt things to do today; I ahve seen hardly any activity on the threads that interest me.
A good weekend to all.
Johnny
Deggesty Careful, Justin--remember all the warnings we have received recently about overeating.
Oh yah, I'd better watch it!
Wow!! It sure has been slooooooooow in here today. Maybe this will start bringing people in: our regularly scheduled Saturday Night Pizza Fest is now on the warmer bar:
1. Anchovie
2. Canadian Bacon
3. Pepperoni/mushroom
4. Goetta
5. Hawaiian
6. Supreme
7. Italian Sausage Calzones
Desserts tonight: chocolate cake, apple pie, cherry cobbler and peach cobbler, all with ice cream. Whatever flavor you like, as there is just about every flavor imaginable in the freezer. And all of it homemade, too!!
We enjoyed the Flea Market this afternoon. We saw our friends from High Sierra Barbeque Sauce, and walked and walked and walked. Sarah did find some begonias there for sale, and bought some. Guess tomorrow or Monday, she'll be out planting them, probably in the back yard, maybe two or three of them will go in the front yard in the begonia bed.
Everyone have a great evening. Take care.
CW, Pizza is delicious! I think I will have somore. I ate all of b-fast, so you wouldnt have wasted youre' timed fixing it.
good morning

Good Sunday morning, everyone! Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day, although we do have a pretty good chance of thundershowers around for this afternoon. (And we were planning on grilling out tonight!) Guess we'll have to wait and see. Maybe, if it isn't storming too bad, we can still grill out.
Coffee, juices and hot water for tea are ready. Mudchicken, even have some Gatorade available, if you'd like some!
On the warmer bar this morning: bacon, sausage, eggs and pancakes. We have real maple syrup, blueberry syrup, and there's several different fruits (like blueberries, strawberries, etc., that you can put on your pancakes.
Justin, glad you enjoyed the pizzas last night. Kind of looks like you were the only one in here last night, doesn't it? Also, Justin, it looks like you've gotten a very good list of things and places to see when you and your parents go to Colorado. I think you and your parents are going to really enjoy yourselves!
Everyone have a good morning, and take care!
Good morning everybody. 68 degrees and overcast, it seems, in Carolina today .Depending on who one listens to, we may have more lightning later today. That will mean disconnecting the wireless and taking to the hills again..... I talked to a guy in Hong Kong yesterday, and one in Azerbajian too plus a bunch of others. Radio has been fun lately. Everybody take care and stay cool.

Even though no one has been in here since Tom this morning, Mutt has the grill going for our Sunday Dinner. On the grill: corn on the cob, potatoes, steaks (sirloin, angus, rib eyes), hot dogs, hamburgers and brats.
Other side dishes: mac & cheese, cole slaw, baked beans, slice tomatoes, sliced onion for your burgers, potato salad and cole slaw, along with cantaloupe, watermelon, and for dessert: A yellow cake sheetcake, w/red/white/blue icing and plenty of ice cream.
We're fixing enough for today and tomorrow, so we can all relax and participate in any Memorial Day services tomorrow.
Well, has been a pretty slow day for me today. Really hot here. 80 something.
CW, The rib eye and corn is really good! Tell Walt he fixes them very well! I wonder who is winning the Indy 500?

Yah, mom's doc. has cleared her to go on vacation. The thing is she wont be able to carry anything. Me and dad will carry it for her though. We are all so excited!
Evening all.....
Well, by the time I get down to Cherokee, AL, tomorrow, I will have logged 3,656 miles in seven days. Not bad for just having come off vacation, eh?
Would have been in last night, but was fighting with Wal-Mart yesterday morning over getting a prescription refilled, I blame it on computer troubles. Anyway, got it refilled, but it put me behind by about two hours, so had to bust tail to get where I wanted to be.
Will take a sirloin with potato and fixin's, then off to bed. Tomorrow should not be too bad driving, biggest city to drive through will be Paducah, and I'll skirt that...

Thank You Justin, I actually do cook besides just doing the B-B-Q,
(I just don't do it that often!)
Very glad to hear that Mom Should be able to enjoy vacation also.
Randy, when you get that far West in our Commonwealth, well.....
lets just say I know it's supposed to belong to us. I've never been
that far west. (in our state)
Hope your trip is a good one, and you don't find the "other people" to
be too much of a problem; or have any other problems.
Just finished watching a Very Good program on P.B.S.; "National
Memorial Day Concert"......very good as always; but I think the best
I saw/heard today was at the Cincinnati Reds game today; (and they
beat the "Tribe" 4-3; Yeah!!) was a gent playing the Violin/Fiddle, (not
sure if that would be a Viollidle, or Fiddlion) he played "This Is My Country"
during the "7th Inning Stretch" WOW, one of the best renditions I've ever
heard!

They represent my family in their generation in the military. Three of my brothers went into the Military in 1943. The oldest of the three (20 years old when he went in) spent most of his time in as a control tower operator in British Guiana. Only in the last few yearsdid I realize the importance of what he was doing: moving aircraft such as the B-17's on their way across the Atlantic to North Africa. The other two volunteered a short time before they turned 17. One spent most of his time in the Navy V-12 program, and the other one was a radarman on a minesweeper. He joined his ship in North Africa in 1944, and was separated from it in San Diego in 1946. He never said anything about actual sweeping for mines, and I thought that his ship did not have such service while he was on board. About three weeks ago, I learned that she did sweep for mines in the Sicily/Italy theater.
Pearl Harbor was bombed six days before I turned six, so I was a bit young for both WWII and the Korean War. However, I did keep up as much as I could with what was going on, and rejoiced when Germany and then Japan surrendered. It is amazing what was accomplished with the technology that we possessed seventy years ago.
Yes, remember those who have defended our country, even to the point of giving their lives so that we can live in safety!
Good morning
To all the Veterans thank you.Pancakes sausage and eggs are on the warmer bar.Juice coffee and lemonade are ready to go.We also have fresh gatorade too.Going ro get cleaned up and watch the local Parade and cermonies.
Good Monday Memorial Day to everyone! We're getting some rain right now, no storms in the area. They'll probably show up later on this morning, or sometime this afternoon.
Yes, Walt, today is the day for each and everyone of us to thank our Vets, and remember the ones who have died for our country. Thank you, all our Vets who are on the forums!
Coffee, juices and hot water for tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning:
cinnamon rolls, bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, waffles.
Randy, take care on the road, and keep safe, as Joe always says. Everyone have a great day!!
Good morning everyone. Sorry I haven't been in lately because well, where I work I've been VERY busy lately.

Speaking of which, this weekend is the "traditional" start of the summer barbecue season. I have a question for you: what do you put on top of a grilled hamburger patty? ESPN's Scott Van Pelt suggested just this past Friday that you can put a little Ranch dressing on top of the cooked patty before being served; as ESPN Radio's Colin Cowherd has wont to say, "Say it out loud--does it SOUND like a good idea?" (In my humble opinion, this sounds like a terrible idea. I prefer my hamburgers with a slice of American cheese and a dab of mustard and ketchup on top. )
Good morning, everybody, and a pensive Heroes day. 70 degrees and cloudy, with 82 and lightning forecast. My father was an army vet twice. He served in Hawaii in the '20s and then was drafted for WWII. He was a stretcher bearer due to his age, and was in the invasions of Oran, Sicily and Salerno, where he was wounded. His brother was in China. We can't imagine what those guys went through for us. The invasion scene from Saving Private Ryan was a pretty close approximation. BTW, regarding the AAF, if memory serves correctly, nearly 70,000 bomber and fighter crew were lost, but they kept plugging on irregardless. Truly the greatest generation!

Well Raymond, traditionally the "Cook" has the Final Say at a B-B-Q,
what he/she puts on the meat is their choice, whether you like it or not.
Maybe you could "Bribe" the Cook to not put anything on your Burger;
and let you fix it the way You want
"Miracle Whip" over the "burgers" work about as well (IMHO)
Obviously, you have not tasted my own homemade barbecue sauce!!

If it weren't for some of them, we wouldn't be doing a few things that we do. Walt, I wish I could remember the exact wording on a sticker a niece of mine (Capt., USN Dental Corps) and her husband (LtC, Ret, USN) have by their front door. It is to the effect that freedom has a certain flavor that only those who have defended their country can really enjoy. They represent my family in their generation in the military.

Well, this represents the THIRD TIME I've tried to reply,
I get to the point of being ready to post, don't click anything,
and the next thing I see is the Trains Forum, minus what I just typed.
(which is very Darn frustrating because I don't type that fast)
That "Bumper Sticker" sounds interesting, would like to see the wording.
To the best of My knowledge, I'm the only one from my Father's side of
the family to serve in the military.
On my Mom's side, her brother and brother in law served their time.
CW's Dad worked for Naval Ordinance here in Lou.; one brother served in
the Army between Korea and 'Nam, and another (her twin) served in the
Air Force during 'Nam.
"FREEDOM IS NOT FREE"
locomutt That "Bumper Sticker" sounds interesting, would like to see the wording.
Back in the forties, I learned, from the Boy Scout's manual that the proper way to display the flag on Memorial Day was to raise it to full staff and then lower it to half staff until noon, and then close-block it again. The Boy Scouts here will set flags out in yards (if a fee is paid) on certain holidays (I don't think that they set the flags out on Flag Day or Columbus Day, and they set them out on days that I would not), but there is no way to fly the flags at half staff.
Also, this morning as I was out walking, I noticed a least two flags that could been lowered, but had not been lowered. Also, I learned from that manual that the proper way to fly a flag at half staff was to lower it the height of the flag from the top--and all the flags I have seen at half staff around here have been flown halfway down the pole. Do you have any official knowledge about the proper position?
My father went into the army in 1917, but was discharged in less than ninety days because of problems with his heart. His father was in the 40th Virginia infantry for more than three years. My grandfather’s maternal grandfather died in December of 1814, I think when the British had landed at Tappahannock, Va. My mother’s paternal grandfather served in the Mexican War, and was granted land in Florida; he went down, looked at it, and went back home to South Carolina, declaring that "There was nothing but sand and fleas in Florida." Her maternal grandfather served in the 56th Virginia Infantry.
Yes, we who have not fought for our freedom cannot know the full flavor of freedom, but we need to remember that freedom is not free.
Deggestylocomutt That "Bumper Sticker" sounds interesting, would like to see the wording. Walt, you forced me to look for a picture I took of it. At first, I thought that I had taken it two years ago, in Orange Park, Fla. (where they live now; she is stationed at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station, but she travels quite a bit in administrative work, even going to Key West in the summer), but I had to go back to six years ago, when they lived outside Rockville, Md. (she was at Bethesda then). Here it is: "FOR THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR IT FREEDOM HAS A FLAVOR THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW."

Johnny, Thank You Very Much; hope you didn't have to go through
a lot of trouble to find that. VERY GOOD!!
As far as the Flags go, I think you've got everything from that manual;
sounds very correct to me.
To the best of my knowledge, the Flags and poles you're talking about
Do Not have that "Half Staff" option.
Unfortunately, our Flag is not flying from the house this year;
last wind storm damaged it so bad, and the mounting brackets
that it hasn't been replaced.....(economy rules)
I very much miss it, it was there 24/7 and properly displayed.

Well, I don't have any idea how many will be in here tonight, but I've got some burgers, steaks, hot dogs and brats on the warmer bar, that I just took off the grill. There's also corn on the cob, veggie shiskobobs (sp?), 'grilled' baked potatoes, green beans, pork n beans, corn on the cob, mac & cheese, cole slaw and potato salad, pistachio salad (sometimes called Watergate salad).
And we also have plenty of cake w/ice cream left from yesterday.
Cw thanks for supper tonight.Matt and I went down to the local parade.Some of his classmates were girlscouts in the parade.Tommorow he has a fied trip to the zoo.He is bringing a jacket and sweatshirt as they are calling for rain.Time to get things around for work tonight.
Good evening everyone. Thanks for the burgers--I like to put my own fixin's on top like a leaf of lettuce, a tomato slice, a small slice of American cheese and a dab of mustard and ketchup on top.
locomutt "Miracle Whip" over the "burgers" work about as well (IMHO)
Paula, it was a good supper. A thin slice of onion with mustard, and perhaps a little sharp cheddar go wonderfully well with burgers. Ricki likes sweet relish with hers (we differ on hot dogs also). A dish of butter pecan ice cream is the finishing touch (though I like vanilla, with something like chocolate syrup or orange marmalade on it).
A little needed work around the house made the day up.
I had better take the flag in.
Deggestylocomutt "Miracle Whip" over the "burgers" work about as well (IMHO) Ooog! Miserable Whip on burgers? It's astounding what one can learn about one's wife after the wedding, especially if you had no real date before. I don't see liking Miserable Whip as a cause for divorce, though. And then, Ricki does not particularly like mayonnaise, though she will eat it if I make the fruit salad (we dress our own green salads). Paula, it was a good supper.

Well, there is another member of the household that would agree with you;
Sarah likes Mayo and not the "Other".
I grew up with "The Other" because my sister was allergic to the Raw Eggs
used in Mayo; so ingrown into my habits, there you go..........
And as far as "Ranch Dressing", the "Other" has about the same taste to me.
I very seldom use dressing of any kind, I like the natural tastes of the salad.
