What's that you say . . . a FLYING pig. Hmmmmmmm.

OK, well Mookie, 7 am next Tuesday. And don't forget your white Maid's apron, I am sure mine is too big for you. [:o)] [;)] [}:)] [:D] [;)] [:o)] Lunch will be at the diner, on me of course. [:)]

We had another shower last night, but not that much rain. It is cloudy and colder today and only about 57 right now. The predicted high is only 65. [:0] But you know, it is wonderful sleeping weather. [;)] I went to bed about 10 last night and had a good nights sleep. [:D]

Well back to the housework. I can't wait for next Tuesday tho. [}:)] [:p] [:o)] [8D] [:D]

Lunch today is going to like breakfast was: whatever you want, I'll fix (as long as
it's nothing too fancy). I do have chilli heating, and made two pots of soup for
today: beef vegetable and cream of broccoli soup.

Would anyone like to give me two or three ideas for supper tonight?

Well CW, 'Mutt is sort of up,one eye open right now;and yes,it is very "chilly".
The "wake up" weather of recent days has been in the mid 60s,to low 70s;
and when you wake up to temps in the mid 40s,after the other;it is "CHILLY"
As a matter of fact,the birds must think it's cold also,there are several on the "bird bath"
holding protest signs,reading: "Plug The Heater Back IN !!" [swg]

Joe;Louisville is not quite as well known for "pork production",like Cincy is;
both Armour and Fischer's had plants here;and there is a section of the city
known as the Mellwood area.............for" Fischer's Mellwood Bacon."

Mookie, you know I've always got chocolate around here!! And I share with fellow chocoholics!!

Breakfast is whatever you want this morning. If you want a hot bowl of chilli to warm you up
this morning, you've got it. If you want turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy & biscuits,
scrambled eggs, toast, oatmeal, etc. you've got it.

It's 43 here in Louisville this morning, and it is COLD to me this morning. Don't
know about Mutt, cause he's still sleeping.

Hope everyone has a great day, and stay warm and safe wherever you are today.

Catch up on the mail.

Brian - you should have had snow last nite - or at least freezing temps. We are back to winter for one day.

Chicken - (drool) - oh sorry - I forgot my manners for a second. Have never been to Ohio and only to O'Hare in Ill. Never been east of Mississippi except Boston. Been in every state west of, however. And stood at mouth of river - when in Bemidji, so not sure if that counts as east or west. But I heard something about Graters Ice Cream on radio the other day - aren't you the one that likes Graters.

Jim - I am allergic to housework. Besides it is like Monday - it comes around every week without fail!

Jay - who needs Monopoly - that looks like a great game to me - play with the trains and rearrange all those cars! And the 50's scheme in the room - to die for.

(Joe - what's MC talking about? You live in the state.....)

CW - going to put a little chocolate in my coffee this morning. Or is it coffee in my chocolate....Or - skip coffee - eat chocolate....must go ponder this over chocolate cake and milk....

Moo....

Well folks, it's now supper time. And since it's rainy and very cool, there is a
BIG pot of chilli on the stove. Actually, there's THREE pots of chilli:
mild, medium and hot hot. Also, to go with the chilli, I'm making some
grilled cheese sandwiches, PB&J, and plain ole PB sandwiches.

Dessert tonight is on the light side: fresh seedless grapes.

Afternoon (well now, I certainly don't say that often) All

Yesterday was a repeat of last Monday. The 3 shift cab supply guy called in so they went to the bull pen and there I was just setting minding my own business when next thing I know . . . I was setting in the supply truck. [;)]

I got off at 3 am and stopped in here. Unfortunately I just couldn't "hang" as the bed was calling me louder than the computer was. I couldn't ever put the coffee on, I was just tooooooo tired. [B)] And the worse thing about it was that I WAS going to make rolls again for breakfast. Sorry Sarah. [V] Maybe next time. [;)]

When the noon news was on it was 69 and the predicted high today is only 73. [:)] Last night we had about 1/2 inch of rain beginning about 4 am.

I am pretty much in a zombie state today so I don't expect much to get done. [:(]
I miss getting my beauty sleep, I sure need it too. [;)]

Afternoon everyone.......

After a nice day here in the Mad City yesterday, It's a chilly 40 degrees this afternoon. Had a touch of rain this morning, but not too much. Farmers are taking to the fields like bees to honey, talked to my dad this past weekend, he got his oats in, and is now working on the corn.

The trailer business has been good, I guess we're supposed to start FedEx trailers next week, that should throw a monkey wrench into the works-the way it's looking, we're doing UPS and FedEx on the same line, at the same time.[banghead][banghead] This means I get three different rims and three different tires to mount.[B)][B)][B)]

Hey Joe-There's supposed to be a WSOR-powered ballast train in your neck of the woods, went through deshler Sunday or Monday.

Hey there everyone! Lunch is now being served: left over pork chop abracadbra,
and there's also the assorted sandwiches you can get every day, any time of the
day. In a hurry, have to go take care of a couple of errands, and will be back later
on.

The nice thing about rrpicturearchives is that once they accept you as a member, you can upload whatever you want to your section (I imagine as long as it's RR related). Anyway, I haven't had any problem with them telling me that a certain picture isn't good or relevant enough (yet). By the other site's standards, I'd probably have a batting average of ZERO.
