If anyone sees a wet cat, help it back to the diner. Tried to wet down Mz Mook, but the hose was flowing about 200 gallons per minute and last I saw of our favorite kitty, she was tumbling down the street, leaving an occasional streak of chocolate on the pavement...

I'll be back in the fire truck, with the doors locked. I'd offer chocolate cake as a peace offering, but that's what got us in this mess to start with...

Okay, Joe: sub sandwiches and chips for lunch. Tell you what: I'll make two
chocolate cakes this morning, one will be a small one, to go on a table next to the
hammock.

Heading to the store right now, to get pork chops for supper tonight.

Good Thursday morning, everyone!! Look who managed to wake up early, for a change.

Had to wake up early this morning, because I needed to get in here, and put up birthday
decorations, because we are celebrating a birthday today. Whose birthday, you ask?
Well, today's birthday person is: JOEKOH!!

[bday]Joe!! [bday][bday] [bday] [bday]

Coffee and juice are ready, and the birthday decorations are up.

Breakfast this morning: pancakes and sausage for Joe's birthday breakfast, along
with sausage gravy and biscuits and scrambled eggs. Joe, what's your favorite
cake? Let me know, and I'll have it baked and decorated, and we'll serve it at lunch
today. Also, what would you like to have served for your birthday lunch, and supper?

Jim - I know what you mean about that Page 2 stuff - I've had to dig it out once or twice myself. And I do home-made gravy, too. Used to amaze people at work that I could cook and bake (my kids will vouch for that!). Now they're used to it...

Looks like that heavy weather is going to pay us a visit in the morning - the commute is supposed to include thunderstorms. I really don't mind, as long as nobody gets hurt and there's no real damage.

Gotta call tomorrow and make sure they need me at the railroad - got a couple of weekends more or less free, so I'll do my duty. Best part is that I can run and get back in time for fireworks on the St Lawrence!

Time to raid the cooler for a bedtime snack.

Well I found the diner on page two again. [:(!]

It is 6 pm here and still about 92. The good news is . . . the heat index is finally below 100 now. [B)]

I had BLTs for lunch and a ham and cheese omlette for supper, along with hash brown and toast. For some reason breakfast at supper time is always soooo good. [;)]

I even made homemade (but at work mind you) sausage gravy and biscuits, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and bacon for our supper at work Monday night. I taught one of the guys how to make gravy from scratch. [:p] Both of them ate the homemade gravy like it was going out of style. [:p] [:D] [:o)] I do say myself, "It was darn good gravy." [:p] [:D] [:p]

Okay, Joe: I'll make sure he washes behind his ears!!

Well, it's 5:09, and our temp is 91 degrees here. Haven't been out since this morning,
and not planning to go out until the sun goes down some.

Supper tonight: Defrosted some beef stew, and it's simmering on the stove. Turned
the oven on long enough to bake some cornbread. Dessert tonight: peach shortcake:
just like strawberry shortcake, but use peaches instead of strawberries. Got plenty
of whipped cream or Cool Whip to go on them. Or maybe some will want ice cream
on their shortcakes.

AARRRR That's awful! AARRRR again!

Now - a dryer would be nice. Don't worry about the washer - Mutt and I have our own.

Warm for winter, cool for summer......yeah that has possibilities.

Mookie, the trouble with those cute little bears is they grow up to be not-so-cute BIG bears. They lose their playfulness and get kinda grouchy. You can have all the bears you want, but you have to fkeep them and feed them at home. [:o)] [:I] [8)]

Now on a nicer note. [:X] I have been thinking about those fur stoves. [;)] When I take Duchess to PetsMart for a bath when it comes time to dry her they put her in a little box that has warm air gently blowing across her. She loves it. So instead of a stove, we could install a "dryer". [:D] I am not even going to think about a "washer" though. [;)] [}:)] [8D]

That kind of reminds me about a joke. The super short verion is this. A little boy wants to wash his dog and buys some laundry soap. The man behind the counter says that soap is way too harsh for the puppy he wants to wash. But the little boy buys it anyway. The next week the little boys goes back to the store and the man ask him about his puppy. The little boy said he died. The man told him the soap was too harsh for puppies. The little boy said, "It wasn't the soap, I think it was the washing machine." [:0] [:0] [:0]

Woke up to some ice falling out of the sky this morning. (Then went back to sleep.) Southern parts of Wisconsin on the WATCH OUT list this morning, already some not too serious wind damage to the east of us. At the moment it looks like just spells of heavy rain with lightening for the neighborhood.

Go ahead and take the recliner, Mook. Too busy here. Your "blinking lights and a little noise" has turned into severe stuff that is about to nail CR. Better hurry and post this before my power gets interrupted...

We'll pray for rain or whatever it takes to keep the fires away from people/buildings, Cannonball.
