CW - we're low on c-o-f-f-e-e.....It's a bean, ergo must be a vegetable.

Have my face in my cup - trying to sip w/o getting it up my nose.

41 and rain this morning - with those high non-tornadic winds we get. Blows your face around to the side of your head whilest the sun shines.

I must put a disclaimer in here - because it is required by law. (You know - conceal and carry Mook!)

Use hammock at own risk. Get caught and you will be wrinkled immediately.

Mook!

John and Zach, those are beautiful shots!! Thank you both so much for sharing
them with us!!

Coffee is on, and juice is made. Have two kinds of juice this morning: orange,
and grape.

Well, it's another Tuesday, and people began ringing the doorbell to sign up
for Produce at 6:50!! Going to be a loooonnng day, here. Also supposed to
have rain starting sometime in the next couple of hours.

Breakfast for this morning is laid out on the warmer bar: turkey bacon, sausage,
scrambled eggs, fresh home made biscuits, sausage gravy, fired taters.

Hope we get potatoes at Produce this morning: I'm beginning to run low on
potatoes. Onions, also.

Well, I'll report back later on and post the lunch/supper menus for today.
Everybody take care, and have a great day!!

Those things were so fricken cool, I hadn't seen them since 1996. When I found out they were placed in Cheyenne about 2 weeks ago, I was itching for a shot of them, luckily, they came almost to me! That didn't bother me none. I was glad to see them!

chopped onions, and the side dishes will be pork flavored Rice-A-Roni and
green peas and carrots.

Desserts for today: white cake w/white frosting, chocolate cake w/chocolate
frosting, apple cobbler, blackberry cobbler, and peach cobbler.

Mudchicken: I always keep some apple cider on hand. I'll have a cup warmed
up for you in two minutes!!

Larry, yes the cleaning crew was in. Unfortunately one of the cleaning jobs was one of my threads that was between 1 and 2 years old. About 3 forum member began posting in it the last week or so and when they did the thread took a political tone and not a good one at that. At least one of them attacked another forum member and the comments by all 3 were just not what should be posted in public.

I am not going to mention any names but these 3 are not new to trouble in the forum. [:(] I wi***hat instead of locking the whole thread just the posters themselves would have been deleted.

I don't pay that much attention to the other forums anymore. I pretty much just visit this one. So I don't know what else was "cleaned."


Colin [^]

Don't take it personal but they hate everyone. [;)] I am just kidding. They are very picky and reject a photo at the drop of a hat. I have only tried to submit 3 photos and 2 of them were rejected.

It's Monday, it's my day off, it's raining. I'm having trouble with getting up this morning, much less getting up to speed.

I do see that the cleaning crew has been in, and next door at Trains.com, too.

I'll have what Jim's having, but with a cup of tea.

Any hot cider in the cupboards still?

Yesterday 80 degrees & sun.

Today 32 degrees, fog/snow/rain (and we are sooooooo glad to see the moisture)

Jim, thank you for starting the coffee. I've made the juice, and the ham &
cheese omelettes are ready to eat.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and will have a great week.

I guess everyone is sleeping in late so I am starting the coffee. [B)]

Trust me, when I make coffee, you KNOWN you are drinking coffee. I think Jolt Cola stole their recipe from me. [:o)] [:D]

A ham and cheese omellette sounds good and 1/2 grapefruit please.

Everyone Have A Super Day

Oh well, the camera is now ready for some serious action coming up in a couple of weeks- first up is our son's wedding in Vegas on the 12th, then the following weekend everyone knows about...

Any apple pie and ice cream left? I need something sweet.

Hello Airshow fans @ the Diner;>>>

Any air show is great today w/ or w/o the blue angels . The cost of fuel is obscene to the devoted pilots. I have enjoyed the shows for many a year . Reno air races are fantastic , just as the air shows any where . Over at Glendale air field Sat. & Sun. there is a WW2. show . 2 B17's & aB24 Lib. These are the stars of the show ,also to mention the Mustangs , T6s' and a Corsair. All these aircraft are getting harder to see now a days, because of insurance & fuel costs .I sure hope these planes dont' go the way of the steam engines. Any aircraft was not designed to stay on the ground. Long live Train & Plane shows. Ariz. Cannonball

Y6bs evergreen in my mind

Joe, you know there's always a plate fixed for you to take to work in the fridge!!

Sure hope more of you come in to help eat all of this meal I fixed this afternoon:
don't want too many leftovers in the fridge, because I figure you will all get
tired of having leftovers this week. So help youselves, and be sure to clean
up after yourselves, please.[;)]
