So who ordered the heat up here?  I thought WI was supposed to be the land of snow!  That'd be too much to ask for anyway....anyone going to Chicago for the CNW heritage unit unveiling?  By the way...Happy B-Day [bday] to Jim!

You mean last nights phone call didn't count ? 

I can handle the "P" pizza if there are other things with it, like hamburger and tons of mushrooms.  (I love mushrooms  Tongue [:P] . )   You can add some sausage, diced onions, and some green or red peppers if you want.  Heck, you can just make a mushroom pizza for me. 

Have you guys ever tried any of the breakfast pizzas?  I tried, are you ready for this . . . the sausage gravy breakfast pizza.  Big Smile [:D]   It is ok.  Smile [:)]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.  Walt, I am 28.  Since dad is 29 you know I can not be older than him.   Clown [:o)]  Of course he has been 29 for as long as I can remember.  But you know what they say, you are as young as you feel.  Therefore, I am 97.  Shock [:O]

I sure am looking forward to Friday's fish fry.  I just wish my Friday and the real Friday were one and the same.  Maybe in a few weeks they will be.  But that is a story in the making so I can not say anything about it.  Cool [8D]

Everyone Take Care

Morning all........

Wow, quite the redesign in here.  I like it though, will take some time to get used to the new features, but I am on a few other forums that are of the same design.  Bergie's crew did a wonderful job on the place!

Not a lot new here, Maw Nature is cranking up the heat and humidity for the weekend, it's already pretty uncomfortable outside.  Just hope it cools down in time for the fairs (Dane county is next weekend, Racine county is the weekend after.).  I volunteered (read:  I opened my big mouth) for the job of ice man for the Racine County Fair, selling ice to the vendors.  Should be fun, it should be the coolest job at the fair (literally!).

Welcome to all the new members, and happy birthday Jim!!

Well, I haven't heard anything from the Birthday Boy, so, if I remember correctly, his favorite pizza is
pepperoni.  So there are several pepperoni pizzas made up for lunch today, along with a few supreme
pizzas, and a couple of
veggie pizzas.

Happy B-Day [bday] Jim! Hope you have a great one!

So after digging around in the closet for awhile last night, I discovered we're only allowed so much room in our signature line. Alas! it seems as though I won't be able to keep a picture in my signature line anymore. Soooo...

Would there be anyone opposed to me posting a picture now and again in the diner to keep the place fresh looking? I only ask as a good majority of my work is non- rail related (though I will try to post train themed images when available).

Well, must be off. Hope MC makes it in here soon. It's supposed to be nearing the century mark for the next 3 or 4 days. That's almost warm enough to cook a chicken! Shock [:O]

Oh yes, a big Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to all our new patrons!

Dunce [D)]  Wow - I am overwhelmed.  Haven't found much of anything yet - but it is early. 

This will take a little getting used to - but so far, so good.  Think I will hide out under the table until the diner clears out a little.

Wait for Sir Chicken.

Sharpen the cutlery.

Redesign fur.

Check out new litter.

Tune up for Happy Birthday to Jim! (Yow)

Just a new day in Happy Land!

Moo......

And the beat goes on...

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain….

I think I need a cup or two of coffee after all of that...but like the way you have redecorated the place.

Seems the kitty Mascot is missing, along with the dusty pheasent.

Good Thursday morning, everyone!  I see we've had a few new ones in overnight.  Want to give you a
big Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the Depot Diner and Coffee Shop!! 

Fresh coffee is ready, and I've made orange juice this morning, and some lemonade. 

Believe I said last night, that we had some news for today, and would be having a celebration.  Well,
we will combine a WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! celebration with a BIRTHDAY
celebration:

Happy B-Day [bday]wishes to Jim, our illustrious owner.

We will have pizza for lunch today.  Just need to get the birthday boy to tell me what kind of pizza
he wants!! 

Everyone have a great day!!

It's my first time in here, but I like it, just let me have a coke and I'll sit back and listen for a little while.  And if I know something that might be interesting I'll pass it along.

I managed to cross up my registration, but it's getting fixed.....

Looks like this will be OK. 

Had to trash the chocolate cake after three days in the cooler, but I'm sure there'll be one in its place soon enough.

Well take a look at this! Some nice new digs. Meanwhile, it looks like Bergie's movers forgot to bring my signature picture with, so I guess I had better go find another one to decorate the place a bit.

Hope you all had a nice break. I'll talk to you all later.

I don't even know what closet I was in--it was my big li'l sister who put me there.  I thought I had left the building.

Actually, it's a great place for lurkers--not quite as obvious as the couch.  And if you're on the couch, you run the risk of being served up with other potatoes.  I have to admit, though, that I'm looking forward to being peeled tonight!Mischief [:-,]Wink [;)]
