Mark,

It'll take several more posts for page 738 to show up on the main page.

Guess I'll go ahead and post the supper menu now. For supper tonight,
we'll have shrimp, along with fries. And there's plenty of desserts from
the lunch menu for tonight.

Brian - very stylish - but there is that little spot just under the knee....(gotta get up on this chair for a better angle)

Jim - It would take 2 men and a small boy to tote that tv. I can't imagine any tv show I want to see in life-size! I think the landlord has it locked up next door - but "I know nothing.....nothing at all".....

CW - will take a fish - (at least I don't have to fish it out of the bowl - ) - Cod would be nice and a pecan pie along with Jim's cake he is handing out....

Moo...

I can't believe I beat everyone to that line. [;)] [:p]

How is everyone this fine day? [:)]

It is Tuesday/Friday. [B)] Carl mentioned about getting paid only twice a month, but he forgot to say anything about the crazy mixed up schedule we can get. On the railroad it is always someones Friday no matter what day of the week it really is. [B)] Thankfully on the mechanical side our contracts state that we will get two days off (but employees frequently do work one of them for overtime pay) and those two days will be together. So our Saturday and Sunday may be any days of the week. [8]

Mookie, if you got the TV, PUT IT BACK ! ! ! I was only kidding. [:o)] I really would not want you to get in trouble over it. (You can UPS it to me tho. [;)] )

Well time to go to the grocery store and do some Krogering. [8D]

Everyone Take Care

Funny thing was...nobody but me and the bartender knew who he was! Oh well. Gotta put more time in at the Y today bringing the total to 56 hrs this week. I'll be back for dinner tonite!

And a Tip Top of the Morning to You All,

Went out and filled in on the company softball team since they were short a few players last night. Went 2 for 4 at bat, and scored both times. Unfortunately I didn't do as well in the field. Been awhile since I've been out chasing fly balls!

Have to finish some house plans I'm working on, so I'll catch you all later.

TTFN!

Ooooo! Blueberry muffins! And a tea on the side, please.

Tomorrow's special treat: French Pastries. Napoleons, turnovers, puffs, creme horns. It's time for the annual French Festival in beautiful Cape Vincent, NY. Ten thousand people, probably as many pastries, flea markets, music, entertainment, huge parade.

I'll be pedalling my *** around town on EMS bike patrol. It's supposed to be a beautiful sunny day, so I expect some business.

Good Friday morning everyone!! Carl, glad to see you've been back in!

Coffee is on and ready to pour, and I've got the orange juice ready.

Breakfast this morning: your choice of muffins or doughnuts. We've got
blueberry muffins, plain doughnuts, chocolate covered doughnuts,
chocolate covered, cream filled doughnuts, and doughnuts with raspberry
filling.

Going to be a little bit warmer today, but humidity will still be down a little bit.
That will make for a nice day.

Everyone take care, and have a safe day.

Oh, Sarah, the things you'll have to look forward to when you become a railroader--payday will be only twice a month, and you'll have to scrutinize your earnings very closely to make sure you received what you earn! Having things "cut" will become a way of life. [sigh]

Oh lets see what else is good about Friday PAY DAY!!!

Well, the waters here in the greater Philadelphia area are starting to return to normal. I guess we're not going to get anymore flash floods anytime soon. There is still a lot of moisture in the air.

Must check calendar - feels like Friday is getting close with all the crack-ups going on in here.

But when you only work 2.5 days in a week (eat your hearts out, guys!) it is hard to keep track of what day it is - ho hum!

Would love to take over marketing the other half. Of the duplex, not the driver.

Weeelllllllll, since no one has given me any suggestions for lunch and supper
today, guess I'm on my own in the planning department. Sooooooooo:

Lunch and supper tonight will have the same menu: beef stew, cornbread,
pickled beets, and corn on the cob.

Desserts today: apple, cherry and peach cobblers, chocolate pie, and pecan
pie. (And, of course, the prerequisite chocolate cake and white cake.

Mookie, think Mutt's got the right idea: let you and Driver interview prospective
next door neighbors for the duplex!! You could do a background check and
everything on them. [^][}:)]

Mornin' All

Mookie, you better get that TV before somebody else does. [:o)] Sounds like the trash left the trash, except for the TV. Actually I am surprised they didn't take the TV too. They are probally behind on the weekly payments for it. If they left that quickly, sounds like they had more problems than we will ever know. You probally are much better off without them, and probally a little safer too. [^]

Speaking of weekly payments . . . we have a new place in town that actually rents the tires for your car and rims too. You can RENT a pair of rims OR tires for one week for $9.95. They do have rims and tires that cost more if you so desire. Let's see, 2 pair of tires at 9.95 = $19.90. If you rent both rims and tires double that to make $39.80 a week for tires and rims that you do not own and can not keep. Gee, what a deal. NOT Remember, those are just the cheapos, you can go up to 49.95 for a pair of tires or rims. Those "dealers" must be laughing all the way to the bank.

The 4th was busy, moreso than I expected. [B)] But the railroads don't shut down as much now as they did in the past. They did try to run fewer trains last Thanksgiving and Christmas. It seems like the train crews helped out too by having a little "holiday" sickness [:0] which also slowed things down.

It sure was nice to have a day off yesterday. I didn't get much done around or in the house but that is ok. As mookie would say, they can wait. [;)]

There is nothing special going on weather-wise. It is hot and humid and dry. The state had scattered showers for the last two days but it might rain for a minute, then the sun would come out for 15. They would take turns but no significiant amount of rain fell, just enought to make it worse. [:(]

I noticed our gas prices went back up before the 4th holiday. I have not looked since last Saturday but the price then was $2.99 for premium unleaded and $2.79 for regular. I am afraid by next year at this time that $2.79 a gallon will be a bargain. I hope I am wrong.

I got an instant message from Zach yesterday. He and Kevin were on Peak's Island out in the Atlantic. They stopped in at a library to use the computers and keep in touch with everbody.

Well today is my Monday again. [:(]

Everyone Take Care
