Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

[cherokee woman]

Supper menu is now being served, and will be served until 8 p.m. or until the fire
on the grill goes out. Grilling fish (cod & haddock) and corn on the cob. Hope
that suits everybody's taste buds for tonight. If you don't want fish, I'll put a burger
or two on the grill for you, or maybe a couple of hot dogs.

Dessert tonight: strawberry shortcake.

Well it is raining here...... boooo. It is also a bit breezy here in the great state of Pennsylvania.

Public Service Anouncement: Everyone watch out for the dumb drivers that just rolled in from Darwinville, I hear they are out and about and are causing accidents on major and surface roadways. If one of these people gets in your way.................um....................just run them off the road.

Carl, you were wondering why my school schedule is so weird I only have three words for you "Welcome to Pennsylvania". PA likes to do things differnetly from the remaining states.

[CNW 6000]

I heard CN was runnin' a carload of rabbits down towards IA cuz the twister took out some of the local Easter Bunnies. I bet that train 'hops' right along!

[cherokee woman]

HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE!!

Since this is the last day of Lent, there will be fried fish for lunch for those who want
fish. There will be fries, cole slaw and hushpuppies served with the fish.

For those of you who don't want fish, you can have your choice of the following:
tuna salad sandwich, pork chop sandwich, bologna & cheese, pickle loaf,
grilled cheese or a cheese sandwich, along with fries and cole slaw.

Hola everyone

[blhanel]

Thought I'd just stop in for a quick donut before we hit the road- when I posted last night, it was before everyone realized that Iowa City had gotten nailed. What a mess down there... no damage here, and our grass is greener than I've ever seen it. I'll definitely need to get the mower out of storage when we get back Sunday. TTFN- Happy Easter, everyone.

Mornin' All

It is the start of a another day with the temp about 65 and a nice 5 mph wind. It might hit 90 today. [:0] [B)] [8]

The extended forecast was for higher than normal temps and dry. [:(] There is a forest fire going on in one of the National Forest around here. They are having a hard time putting it out since there are few roads to get to it.

We used to have lots of volunteers show up wanting to help our volunteer fire department put out fires in wooded areas. So we would put an Indian Pump on their back and send them off. After about one trip out and back with the pump they changed their minds. There is just something about carrying 10 gallons of water in a tank strapped to your back. [B)] [8]

It is such a beautiful day right now. [:)] I wish it could stay just this way.

Happy Good Friday everyone. [:)]

Take Care

psst - CP 2816 - HISSSSSS....

[cherokee woman]

Larry, thank you so much for starting the coffee. Another late night, and I've only
been up about 20 minutes. Also, Larry, thank you for puttng out the pastries for
breakfast. I'll make you a large cup of tea to go with your pastry.

Just saw some pictures on Good Morning America of the tornado damage
up in Iowa. Brian, very glad to hear that you all are all right.

[tree68]

It is awfully quiet here today. Same thing at work. That's a good thing (the work part) - I've got one project to get done, then it's easy street for the rest of the day.

Don't drink the stuff, but I'll put together some coffee and set out some pastry (now that I do eat!).

Looks like the hammock has it's usual occupant - I'm sure she'll stir when the aroma of the coffee wafts around.

[Mookie]

Hello..... (reverberation) Noses report to the front door -

[jeaton]

Heading our way, I think. Looks like the storm has split-part heading north toward Madison, the other part staying along the state line.

Any desert left?

Friday services.

I'll probably be scarce, as we do get tomorrow off and we're headed up to Minnesota to be with my family for Easter. I will be able to check in on the forum from my Dad's computer, though.

Yes I will be here as I'm always.. After my Railfanning Gig tommorow gotta go see if the Amtrak Equitment is still there.

[Anonymous]

Well there is a bunch of Amtrak Equitment sititng on our siding in town 1 P42, 1 Trans Sleeper, 1 Cafe. It is very interasting to see.

Whew, dodged a REAL CLOSE bullet here tonight- tornado was reported on the ground about three miles north of us. Looks like its all headed east now- look out, Chicago area!
We had some "gumball" size hail here, but not enough to call the insurance man over. I was attending our Maundy Thursday church service while Joanie stayed home to pack for our trip north tomorrow- they stopped the service right at the start of communion and had everyone head to the basement (luckily our church has one).

Oops, sorry if I ruined lunch for anyone- I'll take a ham, cheese, and lettuce sandwich please.

This guy walks into a pet shop and he says to the man behind the counter, "Remember the cat you sold me last month?" The man behind the counter says, "Yes." "Remember the python you sold me last month?" "Yes". "Well, I need another cat."[:-,][(-D]

Dan, get back in touch with me closer to Thanksgiving on the turkeys.

We are in the upper 70s at 8:25. Our high today was 84. Rain is supposed to be
coming in later on tonight, early in the morning. Have a slight chance of some
storms, though, later in the afternoon/early evening tomorrow. Sure hope the
storms don't materialize.

[CNW 6000]

cw I can hook you up on wild turkeys and geese. No duck though.

I'll have the salmon patties and the broccoli spears, not to be confused with Brittney Spears. Although I bet they sing about the same.

[CShaveRR]

Sarah, you've always had the weirdest school schedule of anyone I know! Go earn some money in your free time. I'd tell you where the trains are running, but...

Cher, I could give you your wake-up call, but you wouldn't appreciate it.

Colin, I hope your folks got the message.

This weekend is same old, same old here--workin' right through Easter.

[JoeKoh]

jim
they were talking about 90 degrees in st.louis for the reds vs cubs this weekend???waaaayyy to early for that.saw a ferromex visitor on csx going westbound.as far as game food a little deer chili now and then is good for you.deer jerky also makes a good snack.we are ready for friday tonight at work so everyone have a blessed Easter.
stay safe
joe

[CSXrules4eva]

Jim you were asking were is spring. Well, come on over to the great state of Pennsylvania, the highest we've gotten so far is 77, which is today's temp. Today was also the first day I was able to open by bedroom window, and let the fresh air in!!!
It is supossed to rain later on tonight into tomorrow morning though.

Well.............................this is terrible it's such a nice day outside and I can't think of anything to do becides getting a couple of chors done. The good news is I have off from college for a week!!!! Yes no more tests!! For right now anyways.

[cherokee woman]

Dan, I don't really cook any wild game. Every once in awhile, I might get some
cornish game hens, but that's about it. Unless you get any wild turkeys, may
take you up on that about Thanksgiving and Christmas time.

Supper tonight is going to be: salmon patties with your choice of spinach, or
broccoli spears in a butter sauce, and pinto beans and cornbread.

[Mookie]

And we just saw a BNSF with 6 units - what is going on - spring moving?

[CNW 6000]

I was askin' about the game cuz I can provide some. I even have ICC permits and WIDNR permits!

I saw a intermodal CN train today that had 14, count 'em, 14 C44-9's on it!

[rvos1979]

<click><buzzzzzzzzzzzzz>...........

Someone need a haircut? I have my clippers ready.[}:)][}:)][}:)]

Supposed to get to 75 today, and tomorrow it's forecast to hit 80. I think we've gone straight to summer from winter, but I'll take it! I guess we're going to get some rain tonight, then off and on chances all weekend.

CW, a pair of ham sandwiches with chips sounds good for lunch.

As for tomorrow, I'll probably stop in quick before I drive to Burlington, then check in later that night on my parents new desktop.

See y'all later.

I'm a guessin' that depends on how "wild" and "gamey" anyone gets !!![:D][(-D]

[Mookie]

Ed - not buying that nope, nope, nope!

Jim - it will be 88-89 here - and here is a long way from you, so must be a national thing. Our nites are still cool - (50's) - so wear summer jammies and sleep with electric blanket and fan on. (Toes get cold!)

Tree - maybe dog embarrassed by polka dots and trying for new look (pink)?

Moo

That would be one way to 'miff' the cat but I think the cat would take revenge!
