Just put the coffee on, killed a few flies that accidently got in when someone left the back door open and want to look at the paper - I am sitting on the sports page, Joe - reading it as we speak! Be done in a minute.

A lot of us have tomorrow off, a lot of us are off every day. Joe's Matt has a birthday on Monday - he will be the big 3. So early Happy Happy to him.

Breakfast casserole - a heart attack in a pyrex dish - our special today. It is yummy, but you will want to schedule a nap afterward.

Mook, your breakfast casserole sounds real good!! I'll have a helping, please, with
black coffee (and a glass of ice water, please)!!

Locomutt was sitting next to his grandfather (now deceased) when that song first
came out. They were in a car, chasing down family history, looking for people who
would know their family. Grandfather's reaction to the song:(quote) "DAMN! They put
something like THAT on the radio!!" (quote) : He was a minister!

Well I will add S O S to the Diner's Menu, who can come up with a nice name for it? I just can't put S O S on the menu. And the name must sound "good" too.

This has been a long week so far. Come on Friday. [;)]

It is 11 am and is 83 degrees right now. They say it will be 88. The temp in Dallas right now is only 79. Houston does edge us on in the heat department, as it is 85 there now.

Lunch Special Today.

#1 . . . Navy Bean Soup and Ham Sandwich.

#2 . . . Sweet and Sour Chicken

#3 . . . Cold Plate (An assortment of melons, grapes, cottage cheese served on a bed of lettuce, and your choice of Tuna or Chicken Salad on a bed of lettuce.)

# 4 . . . All of the Above (Jim's favorite) [:D]

Lunch is now being serviced, take a seat. [:p]

Howdy all, I'll take a #4(I eat like a rhino), with a nice strong cup of cappacino, french vinilla flavor. Not to much exciting going on around here right now, been raining forever though, and I was hoping to go on a bike ride too. There's a UP/run by WSOR crew ballast train in Rock springs right now, just heard him on the scanner. I don't have much to do right now, but I might go work on my model scratchbuilding project for the contest one of the MR forum members is holding, but for now I thought I'd come keep you people company.

Jim,

I'll take a tuna salad with a tall, COLD glass of sweetened iced tea!

Uh, do we by chance have any peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert[?]

Well, what about something along the lines of "The Engineer's Breakfast", or "The Pennsylvania Special?" A name that doesn't say "Creamed Chipped Beef" or "S O S." Kind of makes it more interesting. Or, it could be served on a thick piece of texas toast (toasted so it's nice and brown) and call it "Beef on a Brick."[:p]
Yeehaw, it's about to rain here! I like the rain!
I feel life making some Boston Cream Pie, anybody else want some?

Speaking of "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Poka Dot Bikini," my bro has that on a CD, with "Don't Worry, Be Happy," "The Witch Doctor," "Purple People Eater," "Does Your Chewing Gun Lose its Flavor," and a few more.

Jim went to one of the "competitors" tonight on the way home. I can't tell you which <Taco Bell> one but I had Tacos. [:D]

Don't forget to check out the pole dancer in the humor thread. Sorry, but I just had to stop by one of "Those Clubs" the other night on the way home. This little "Brown Eyed" cutie really got my eye. I even had a "lap" dance. [:D] [:D] [:D]

Another one of those good old boring days. Not a Whole lot to do except pick up the water in my basement with a shop vac. It's comming in faster and in more places then the last time we had water down there. I don't have much to do today really. We might go either to day or tomarrow to a little town called Hillsbro WI, for the Cesky den celebration. My dad grew up just outside of Hillsbro on a farm. Cesky den is to celebrate the Czech heritiage. Most of the Czech imigrants many years ago settled in that area and so teh commemerate it every year. The food is the best part. The have kolace, which is like a fruit pie without a crust on top, and roliky. which is like a dinner roll, but they melt in your mouth. I've got to keep working on different modeling projects too. And I'm still wide awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwake, really I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam. Okay so maybe not, but I won't be for much longer, good night All!

My ancestry is German / Dutch on my father's side, and Cherokee Indian and something else (I forgot [:(] [V] ) on my mother's side. I thought your last name was of German ancestry too. It sure looks like it is. [:)]


I came home from work, walked Dutchess and went Krogering. While shopping I saw this good looking "New York Style Gourmet Turtle Cheesecake". Man is it gooooooooood. [:p] [:p] [:p] I also stopped at Hardee's on the way home for a 1/3 pound thickburger with cheese. [:D]
After eating the cheeseburger I have had 2 helping of the cheesecake and am eyeing another one as I type. Usually these store bought desserts don't taste as good as they look, but this one certainly is an exception to that. Gotta go, I have a date with a turtle. [}:)] [;)] [:p]

[8D][:D]Matt, Wishing you a Happy 3rd Birthday!! Hope you have a Happy Birthday.

But PLEASE don't eat too much birthday cake and ice cream: we don't want you
to get sick on your birthday.

Tried to send an email wishing you a Happy Birthday (twice) and it came back). [:(]

Jim, your right, it is kind of suprising really. I do have some german backround in me so maybe it went from germany to Czechoslovakia to here or something like that. I don't really know for sure.

Another borring day. think I'll go take a nap.
