Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Looks like it's going to be another nice morning,
but chance of showers/t-storms this afternoon.

Congrats to Carl and Mudchicken, for 3000 posts!! Way to go, guys!!

Carl, I want to see you around here more often, okay? Haven't heard from you for
awhile.

Coffee is on, and juice is made. Actually, have several kinds of juice, so take your
pick in the cooler.

Got regular breakfast items on the breakfast warmer bar. Already have about ten
people, who've come to sign up for Produce today. Hope they bring some more
watermelon today.

See you later,

Roast cousin on a bun? No thanks.

I'll settle for roast Swede on a stick. Preferably the Swedish Geodimeter/Trimble technician that unleashed the Model 5600 total station menace on us unsuspecting U.S. mudchickens.

Sounds like a typical Monday to me.

Okay, folks, since hardly anyone is interested in the lunch/supper menu, we'll change
it to turkey sandwiches for supper, with orange cream bars or cherry, orange or grape
popsicles for dessert. How's that sound?!?!

Now, now Sir Chicken. It is going to be all right. You should beep dreathly and be careful of the aspirin. Don't want to aggrevate the ulcer that you got over M & M.

Ponder - what good is asperagus or mosquitos? Puts it all in perspective doesn't it!

Today's lunch and supper menu: turkey, dressing, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and dumplings.

And dessert: your choice of pumpkin, pecan, or apple pie.

CW,
You've definately made a meal to feel me up. You know I ain't going to be worth a hoot this afternoon.after eating all that GREAT food. If I have room for dessert, I'll take a little piece of pecan pie.

I may have to pass on supper this evening also.

Good Monday morning, everyone! Sure do hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.
Cause it sure was sloooooowww in here. Joe and Randy, very glad you all took some
plates to work with you.

Coffee is on, and juice is in the fridge. Breakfast this morning: cereal, bacon & toast.
Just help yourself. Bacon on the warmer, cereal & bread on the counter, next to the
toaster.

Hello everyone......

Nasty weather here around the Mad City Sunday, we had thunderstorms stall out over us, with many areas picking up 3-4 inches of rain, had flash flood warnings out for much of the afternoon and evening. I stayed inside and played poker, took a fourth place finish in the second tourney, a new personal best.

Went with a friend from work to Tomah for the NTPA pull on Friday, had a good time, got the friend hooked on the sport. Lots of great action, only had one of the MIni Rods go on its' side, and one of the Light Super Stock tractors came down a bit too hard and snapped the front axle off. Wound up spending over twelve hours there for both shows, but it was worth the trip and the cost.

Thanks for the food, CW, took a bunch with me, need lunches for work most of the week. See everyone later.

Well, I did manage to get out to the ped bridge on the old RI ROW, but there was nothing happening for nearly an hour- then a westbound COFC and an eastbound coal met each other a mile west of the bridge (wi***heir timing had been alittle better), after which I had to leave to avoid getting soaked by threatening thundershowers. Oh well...
