Tree - Driver tried putting me in the back seat one time, but the sack kept coming untied.

Gee, I get tied up all evening and don't get back to the diner....

Actually, Ms Mook - that wasn't a slam - just an observation. Like Driver, I'm usually in the left seat, so riding as a passenger isn't an accustomed thing. At least in the passenger seat you can see what's going on (good, bad, or otherwise) and prepare for it. Try riding in the back of an ambulance, where sudden changes in speed and direction are often unannounced. That's why there are a lot of places to hang on back there... They do recommend seat belts for the crew, but that's not always possible, especially with a 'busy' call.

Mornin" All

This last night was much warmer. I woke up to temps in the upper 50s and lower 60s. It is about 65 now, and topping out at 80. [8D]

I have the usual on tap for today, more house cleaning of which most will not get accomplished. [B)] [8] So far I have managed to do 2 loads of laundry, well in the washer at least now to combine them and put them both in the dryer.

Everyone Take Care

[cherokee woman]

Well, Joe, didn't get any strawberries today. We got cabbage, red potatoes, yellow
sweet peppers, and orange juice.

Lunch today will be: tuna salad sandwiches w/your choice of chips or fries. Doesn't
look like too many are coming into the Diner today (at least so far, that is), so I'm
just making the menu a light one today. Guess people are out and about today.

[JoeKoh]

cw
hopefully you can find some strawberries.yes another great day for matt and everyone to get outside.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Good morning, everyone! No, Mookie, I didn't make a garlic cheesecake!! It was
creamy roasted garlic tuna casserole, with strawberry cheesecake and chocolate
cheesecake for dessert.

Breakfast is ready, and set out on the warmer bar: turkey bacon, sausage, scram-
bled eggs, hash browns (southwestern style), sausage gravy & homemade biscuits
for you eating enjoyment this morning.

Saw the ladies over at the Community Center yesterday, and they're predicting that
we will be busy at the Produce Giveaway this morning. Probably will be, with an
outside temp in the low 50s this morning. Supposed to get up to 75 here today.

Everyone have a great morning, and I'll see everyone after I get through with the
Produce this morning.

Hmmm - interesting.

Colin;;
From where I sit you have a great Knack for your hobby . # 5 in the set is fantastic. Mr. O Winston Link would surly smile on you. He took a lot of night shots like that . But you didnt' have toset up all those lights . With experience and the right scene , you are sure to be known. Respectfully, Switch8frg.

Did You Know???? Tax Day is a National Holiday. Well today is Monday we only have a 4 Day week this week at School.

[cherokee woman]

Mookie, I love the new sign!! Now, we just need to select a special place to
hang it up.

Hope everyone has enjoyed supper tonight. You know, supper was the creamy
garlic tuna casserole. I made sure that the garlic wasn't overpowering.

Think I'm ready for a slice of strawberry cheesecake. Maybe just before bedtime,
I'll get a small slice of the chocolate cheesecake.

[JoeKoh]

mookie
the sign might need some green neon around it?
stay safe
Joe

[Mookie]

Made a new sign for the diner......

B - estest
E - volved
R - ailfan
G - roup
I -n
E-xistance.

What do you think? Any changes we want to make before we hang it?

[cherokee woman]

Mookie, got your message about supper for Larry and Brian (IA)!! Per your re-
quest, I'll fix up fried dirt with sauteed mushrooms, "browned" grass clippings,
with a smattering of cheddar cheese.[}:)]

For everybody else, there will be: creamy roasted garlic tuna casserole.

For dessert tonight, there will be strawberry cheese cake, and a chocolate
cheese cake.

Whenever my wife and I go somewhere, I'm usually behind the wheel- I don't like not being in control of the car, and she makes me nervous. Therefore, I can relate to Driver.

My sneaks look like that if I don't put them all the way on.....

Lovely day today, and my day off, too! Picked up some spring planting bulbs yesterday, so nice day to go out and spread them around amongst the tulips, which are starting to get serious. Even have some croci up and bloomed! Must finally be spring!

I can identify with Driver - I'm the only one in the house, so if I go somewhere, I drive. That makes those times when I'm riding with someone a little unusual. I don't usually leave any footprints in the floorboards, though...

[Mookie]

Ah - coffee finally did the trick! Got one eye open.

Went out this weekend and bought two pairs of tenny-runners. Clog style. And I just bet all the men on here know exactly what I am talking about!

Weather is cool to cold at nite, but will be high 70's today - and it is all headed east. No rain, no snow, no nuttin'.

BNSF not running a whole lot during the daylight hours this weekend. Saw some oddities this weekend - couple of UP engines lurking in the yard, some FURX engines and a couple of TFM and KCS. Also a lot of railfans. Had one car from SFSD - you don't know how tempted I was to walk up to the window and ask him if he had any chocolate chip cookes!

Driver kept me belted in my seat so I wouldn't!!!!!

AND - he let me drive from the south end of town all the way down to the watch site, which is west central. He only broke one ankle pushing on his "brake", strained his wrists turning his "steering wheel" and turned a funny shade of pink and white when I got a little close to a Colorado Driver (ahem!) that wanted to do 20 in the middle of the street - a busy, busy one way headed to town.

When he quit holding his breath, the only comment was that I seem to get a little close to the right side of the road! (think he was college age when he last "rode" with someone!)

I have a valid driver's license, have driven longer than the age of a lot of the people on the forum and I am a very good driver - especially if the radio is on the oldies station!

Out of energy again! Time to hit the swingie thingie....

Jim, hope your "Friday" is a good one for you, and all goes well at work tonight.

Since it's still on the cool side outside, thought I'd make a big pot
of vegetable soup for lunch today. Have also made a pot of beef stew and I've
got two big pans of cornbread baking in the oven.

[Modelcar]

...As Jim mentioned of the photo above Colin, I too think it is really a good one...Surprised how good the ballast and track look if that is a yard....I really like night photos when done well and this one is really nice.

[Modelcar]

...None of the choices are something to look forward to but we've found doing it early gets it out of one's thoughts and then our tax man sends the data electronically and bingo, in a very short time, if a refund is due, it arrives in one's account.

Mornin' All

Taxes are a very sore subject with me this year. I could take a nice little vacation on what I have to pay in this year. [:(!] [:(!] [:(!] To top that off the whammie is double, I owe the state too. [:0] [8] [:(!] [:(!] [:(!] So make that a nice two week vacation I could be taking.

Woke up to another chilly morning, it got down into the low 40s again. It sure is hard to know how to dress this time of year. When the sun goes down it could turn chilly and very quickly.

Can I have another IV drip please? One isn't enough as yet. [;)]

Well guess what? ? ? [?] TODAY is FRIDAY [:D] I still have to go to work tho and make it through the shift.

Welcome to Colin. I like your Metra yard photo. [:)]

If I were weathly I think today and this week would be a nice week to just take off and go ride Amtrak. Anyone want to come daydream with me on Amtrak? [:o)] I'll buy. [8D]

[cherokee woman]

Good morning, everyone! Sure hope everyone had a very good weekend.

Coffee is brewing, and the juice is made. Have your choice of orange juice,
and grape juice this morning.

Breakfast will include oatmeal, toast, apple butter, strawberry preserves, or,
you can have grape jelly. There is also sausage, sausage gravy and biscuits.

And I believe there is plenty of chocolate cake left from yesterday. Not too much
of the white cake left.

As I tell my clients-You either pay your taxes sooner (enough withholding) or later (by April 17 this year). Neither is fun, but you probably wouldn't want to try to get along on an income so low that you paid no taxes.

Eight days and it is back to being gainfully retired!
