Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

[locomutt]

Late this morning!  Was on fence yowling at the forum posters.  It is a noisy job, but someone has to do it!

Will be here today, but not tomorrow.  I have this gorgeous vet that promises to put stars in my eyes! He will be tightening some screws so I have brighter green and new gold, so my eyes will shine at night!

Did you ever really look in the mirror at your eye color?  Beside the bloodshot look, I mean.

Mine are green with brown flecks (which I will change to gold, of course) and then a dark blue circle around the whole iris.  (hazel is just too dull!)  Snappy Green/Gold with red or purple fur and electric blue earrings! 

Perfect!

It's hot, but hey - the sun is shining and other than traffic, we aren't having any upsets today.  Let's hope it stays that way. 

Off to the fridge.......# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # 

 

Hmmm, "Malibu Mookie",now that's an interesting thought!!

[CopCarSS]

Mook,

The irises in our eyes are actually even more individualistic than our fingerprints. Remember the National Geographic cover image back in the 80's of the young Afghan refugee girl? They were finally able to find her again a couple years ago (it was and probably still is one of the most discussed covers in the magazines history). They were able to identify her by her irises (which, admittedly, are almost as colorful as yours).

There's a little write-up on the story here:

Meanwhile, in other news, we actually saw a couple raindrops last night. Seems the monsoonal weather pattern is firing up some afternoon storms. Could happen again today, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Anyways, I had better get to work. Hope you all have a great day!

TTFN!

Good Wednesday morning, everyone!  Going to be a very, very
warm day here.  By 5 p.m., we are to be at 90.  And the hu-
midity is back on the way up. 

Don't worry, Kevin:  I always keep some of the supper menu
in the fridge, for people who are late getting in the diner.
So go see what you'd like, and heat it up in the microwave.

Mookie, sounds like your eyes are going to be very gorgeous!
Know you will enjoy the new look.

Joe, thanks for putting the coffee on, and making the juice
and lemonade.  Don't get overheated mowing grass today.

Breakfast this morning:  oatmeal, toast, bacon.  Thought we'd
go light on the breakfast this morning.  There's also some
cantaloupe in the fridge.

DANG NABBIT!
I'm late for supper again...
If anyone is wondering why i'm in tears, it's because i've missed out on supper!

Kev - I'm sure CW will leave a plate in the cooler for you.  Microwave is on the counter to the right...

Hello - Long time - Looking aroud things good nice! See Ya!

TOM!!!!!!  Welcome back in!! Hope you can visit
more often,but I guess work,wife and your daughter are keeping
you pretty busy. We miss having you here and hearing your
comments!!

Yeah, daughers!! Very busy, been heading in multiple directions all at once!! Haven't had much time for anything related to trains.

[blhanel]

Thanks for the compliments on the UP 1995 shot, guys.  I now consider it my best RR shot ever.  Sometime within the next couple of weeks, I think I will pick up some large-format photo stock and print up a nice 8X10 on my Canon Photo Printer- either that or take the file in to a photo shop.

[CShaveRR]

I just found this CD of jungle and barnyard sounds starring a "Joe Koh".  You must have signed the release in your sleep.

Needs amplification, though.

From someone who's used to it...

[JoeKoh]

stay safe

joe

[cherokee woman]

Well, guess it's about time for me to start serving supper.  On the menu tonight:  leftovers:

meat loaf, mashed taters, green beans, lasagna, garlic bread, and salad.

It's all laid out on the warmer bar, so feel free to help yourself.  And if anyone needs a bib,
they're under the counter.

Well, at Produce today, we had 86 people sign in for Produce.  We had:

cantaloupe, cabbage, red & green peppers,  big bags of shredded lettuce, potatoes, and red
seedless grapes. This is the first week I know of that we didn't get any watermelon.  And,
wouldn't you know it, someone complained that there weren't any watermelons.

The grill is warming up, and I'll be putting the hot dogs, steaks, and burgers on in about
20 minutes.

Wow Brian! What a catch! That is a stunning shot, and the lighting is absolutely delicious! Congrats on a superb shot that I would very much consider a wall-hanger if it were mine!

Sarah, I'm glad you'd go easy on me. I've never been much of a gym type, but rather just tried to get out occasionally and do "stuff." Of course, my "stuff" usually involves use of my legs (hiking, biking, etc.), so I have virtually no upper body strength whatsoever. I think I'd be lucky if I could bench 30 lbs.

Speaking of that, I managed to do a healthy bike ride last night. Didn't do the route I planned, but stayed on the Ralston Creek Trail all the way to Arvada Blunn Reservoir. According to the City of Arvada website, the trail is completely ADA compliant. I'm not so sure about that. Biking up the side of the dam embankment really leaves one wondering if the grade is less than the prescribed 5%. At any rate, I managed to keep a good pace up except for the aforementioned climb by the dam. I guess I need to work on uphill biking a bit.

I guess that I had better get to work. Hope you all have a great one!

TTFN!

[CShaveRR]

No need to worry, Brian--we came out to the garden to see the trains.  One's bound to show up, and Sis-kitty will be so excited that the element of surprise will just evaporate.

Besides, I think it's me she's after...

[Mookie]

Oh-oh- anyone see where I left my tin man boots?

Mookie feeling "frisky" this morning?!  She's either changed brand of "kibble",
or found that extra hidden stash of Catnip!!!!!

(Brian,I think I saw your "tin man bots" under the counter,along with the "bibs"!!)

$<~>$   

Got my hair done a new way and some over-priced earrings at the garage sale.     

Hey Tom!  Welcome Back - so glad to seea you face!  Stick around - we still have fun in here even if the rest of the forum is less than spectacular. 

Think I will have a Canadian Muffin in honor of Kevin and move to the garden.  Think I saw BC and Brian head that way.  Feeling pretty frisky - think I will follow.... 

[cherokee woman]

Tom, welcome back!!  We've really, really missed you!  Hope you can stay with us
for awhile. 

As a welcome back for you, check today's lunch menu posted below the breakfast
menu.

Breakfast will be:  sausage, gravy, biscuits, home fries, scrambled eggs.

The coffee is on, juice, lemonade and iced tea are freshly made.

Lunch today:  we'll grill hotdogs, burgers, and steaks.  Mutt will be helping with the
grill duty.

Kevin, there's always bibs under the counter:  two-thirds of the time, I NEED a
bib, myself.  I'm always spilling food, or missing my mouth. 

So far, I'm not as sore as I thought I'd be after working out at the gym yesterday.
But I didn't do any weight lifting:  they don't have weights light enough for me to
lift.  But my legs are a tad bit sore.  Will have to do some walking this afternoon,
to work out the soreness and stiffness.

Everyone have a great day, and I'll be getting ready now to start signing in people
for Produce Day.

you wouldn't happen to have any spare bibs now would you?

Look under the counter!!

Kevin,you know where the coolers are and how to make snacks!!!
Help yourself,just be sure and clean up any messes that might be made!

Well, That was a rather easy day- But maybe I shouldn't start getting used to it.

Maybe I should stay at work- I almost knocked myself out using a pipe wrench in the wrong fashion- Who knew there was a right way and a wrong way to use a pipe wrench? supposedly your supposed to turn it in an 'away' fashion from yourself- not pull it towards you.

Well Ooops- i'm going to have a huge black eye tomorrow.

Plumbing has never been my thing, yet hiring a plumer at 50 bucks first glance sure isn't my thing either.

it was rather cool here today -82F- This is supposedly going to be the coolest day of the week
But I don't care- passenger cars are A/C to the max!

Speaking of GYM's and what not- That's all hooplah. Designing your own excersise plan can save you a lot of money. i can't remember the website, but it helps you create your own exercise plan, and you never have to leave the comfort of your own livingroom to execute your own exercise plan!

You'd be surprised how expensive a membershipis at the gym- Like the goat from Hoodwinked was singing... Be prepared, be prepared-this lesson must be sharred....

I guess The kitchen is closed?!?! What a rip! I'm hungry!

Oh well, my stomach will just have to eat itself.

Hello - Long time - Looking aroud things good nice! See Ya!

Tom, nice to see you back up on the forums and in the Dinner!! I'm sure tomorrow CW will prepare something nice for you for your return.

Chris, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww your afraid to go to the gym with me?? Don't be I won't bite, actually you might consider me more easy going than most of the trainers you would run into.

Oh speaking of personal trainers I was asked by someone at the gym, to do some training with him. Well.....HOT DOG..........!
