Stan.

[Mookie]

Did anyone notice he doesn't have a southern accent. Sounds just like the rest of us?!

Hmmmm.......

[BMRR]

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Looks like a great place here. I'm on lunch break at work, so I think I'll take a slice of that pie.

Everyone have a great day.

Stan.

[cherokee woman]

Since it's going to be such a nice day today, I've got Mutt starting the barbeque, so
that we can have steak, pork chops, burgers and hot dogs on the grill today.

Got sides of baked beans, "grilled" baked taters, cole slaw, potato salad, tater
chips, pretzels, and cheese curls.

Stan, [#welcome] to the forums and to the Depot Diner and Coffee Shop.
Have a complimentary piece of cake, or slice of pie as a welcome from all
of us at the Diner!!

Dessert: sliced pears w/fruit dip.[:D]

BTW Mookie: LOVE the new earrings!!

Been there, but it was dusk, I didn't see them as I rode by on the road, and they took off behind me... Sheesh!

[CShaveRR]

Plenty of visuals on fauna at work, including things I'd rather not see up close (Wyl-E's relatives, Pepe's relatives, and so on).

My bike tire has had some direct contact with rabbits and possums, but I don't think I did much more than stun them.

Wish I were you-know-where about now!

[locomutt]

Mook; hope the "duck" wasn't there to do work for you,as he seems
to be a bit "accident prone" himself,like saving the lady from the train,
and then getting hit by another train...................And,there's always
the Gecio Gecko to show up for handouts [:D]

Joe;hope mamma's ankle injury is not serious,and heals quickly.

[Mookie]

Joe - ouch! Offer her some of my chocolate milk - probably won't help her ankle, but will make her face smile!

Germanium - we have a resident fox right where we watch trains. Sometimes my attention is divided!

Tree - used to put out bird seed, but then found it attracted unwanted small critters of all sizes and colors - ugh. So now will do corn and peanuts until warm weather and then just scatter a few peanuts for the squirrels. Saw one yesterday - playing with the empty corn cob.

As C Brown would say - Good Grief!

[JoeKoh]

mookie
you'll have to share with your apprentice matthew on the chocolate milk.
Stan welcome to the Diner.yes please DO NOT MIF THE CAT OR THE COOK.
seems somehow mamma twisted her ankle yesterday need to go get her checked out today.its no fun chasing matt around by myself.
stay safe

Hi Stan - welcome to the local zoo!

I got my fur brushed and smoothed so feeling better about everything. Like my new earrings????

And wouldn't you just know it - opened the back door to feed the livestock and there it was! The Aflack Duck! I give up!

Driver put out some pretty cold water yesterday afternoon (61 degrees) and immediately a robin came and stood in the water. Evidently had sore feet from walking back from down south? Driver said he stood there quite some time - didn't move. Probably looking for work as a statue in a fountain.

Pancakes aren't my favorite (syrup in fur you know) so will settle for some.....hang on.....
this will be good......guaranteed.........Grilled bacon and cheese sammich and ........chocolate milk!!!!! Breakfast of Champions! Extra time in the hammock!

[cherokee woman]

Mutt, you know I don't overcharge on the meals around here!! If anything, I
undercharge on the meals. I'm definitely "old school" and prefer giving
everyone more than their money's worth of food.

Breakfast this morning will be: turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns,
sausage, biscuits & gravy. Everything's laid out on the warmer food bar, so
just help yourselves. I'll check back in after I get Produce taken care of.

[locomutt]

Stan,
Welcome [#welcome] to our Diner;Carl definitely imparted very good words
of wisdom;but did leave out one thing,besides not "miffing" the cat,DON'T
"miff" the cook either.
Hope you have a great time around here,enjoying the company,and talking
about almost everything.

Sarah,hope you enjoy the discount for your meals,I have to pay FULL price !!!!
(literally !!)

[doghouse]

Tree68, try cresting a hill and coming eye to eye with a moose. Even that atheist from another thread on this forum would find God.

[CShaveRR]

Welcome, Stan--Cher's the greatest! Plenty of good friends (and a few stinkers) pop in here to impart wisdom, wit, and whatever. Enjoy! But don't miff the cat!

[tree68]

Ah - Wildlife. Before I fenced in the back yard we had a possum up on the back porch one night. I put together a snare on a pole and dragged it out, then hightailed for cover. It didn't come back...

Get rabbits in the yard every now and then, even with the fence. When the Dalmatian was living here, he'd find them and they'd forget how they got in... I think he caught three.

A favorite 'weapon' for hunting deer around here is the automobile (as it is in many places). I think the drivers get almost as many as the hunters... I was headed for the kids high school a while back when I crested a hill to the sight of seven, nose to tail across the road. Had I wanted to damage the new truck, I probably could have put it sideways and gotten about 5.... Stopped in plenty of time.

For now it's the birds and an occasional squirrel. Current visitors include chickadees, sparrows (several varieties), nuthatches, downy and hairy woodpeckers, juncoes, cardinals, grosbeaks, mourning doves, blue jays, and probably some purple finches and redpolls, although I haven't picked them out to the crowd lately. Seeing all the birds is relaxing, but they sure do like that sunflower seed. A daily fill is around two gallon containers worth, plus keeping suet in the suet feeder... I buy black oil sunflower seed by the 50 lb bag.

Germanium - Must be you don't have any raccoons, since they'd just take on those trash containers as a challenge...

[BMRR]

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. I usually hang out on the MR forum, but I had to stop by and try some of them sausages and pancakes. I hear cherokee woman is a great cook.

Stan.

Well, I know the cook and six pancakes happens to be three bucks, including the sausage. [:D]

OH I forgot to mention........um I have a new permanent location!!!! I'm down in the great city and state of Louisville, KY. Sorry, I neglected to mention that one. [:D][:D]

Well, did I have an interesting flight down here from Philadelphia. Little did I know that I was going to be sitting next to, a middle aged lady who occasionally fliped out and cracked up everytime we hit turbulance. She also had a pure fit when it was time for the plane to take off and land. Darn I wish I had my camera with me because, that was a halmark moment.

CW, I'm really looking forward to the breakfast / din din menu! I'll have 6 pancakes w/ Maple Syrup, and three sausages. Can I also have a glass of Orange Juice, oh pretty please???

Mutt..........................I knew before hand what the weather was going to be like down there. [:D] So I left the snowboard in Philly but, I was thinking about bringing my agressive inline skates but..............................sigh I didn't.

[germanium]

Animals take things as they are, humans meddle until they get something to their liking. Our local fox (a mangy, sorry creature) roams around until he finds something edible (usually live by the sound of it). Animals can't rummage our garbage bins because they're made of plastic, with a heavy hinged lid, and stand about 3 feet high.

Now, a hot coffeee with plenty of sugar please (I like coffee with my sugar).

[cherokee woman]

Supper is ready. Got the sausage ready, and the pancakes are on the griddle.

[Mookie]

Did you ever notice humans don't seem to adapt to the animal world as well as animals to our world?

Spent a week in Wyoming at a local reasonably nice motel. Was warm enough to have windows open at night - to the tune of mom raccoon and babies in the garbage cans 2 floors under our window. I rather looked forward to their nightly foray and forage....

Very small town (Centennial) and they were pretty laid back about wildlife in town!

So add to the livestock list of squirrels, bluejays, a crow, one rabbit and now a possum.

This isn't our first - we have had several sightings and one huge one was hit by a bus on our very busy street. So we will probably never have more than one maybe two.

I've come across a couple of possums in our back yard- one seemed to be very ill and wouldn't move, just hissed at me- died later. Our back deck, which is just a few inches above ground, seems to be a designated graveyard by the critters around here; a couple of times it's gotten pretty odorous from an obvious expired critter. One of these days we're going to rip it out and replace it with pavers, that aughta take care of that problem.

We also frequently see raccoons running around our neighborhood. They're especially active the night before trash day, as evidenced by the overturned garbage containers. On occasion when driving home after dark, we'll encounter one of them sauntering up the street, whereupon they always make a mad dash for the nearest storm drain.

Afternoon everyone.....

Sorry I haven't been in lately, had a little problem with Charter on the internet service (they only had to change every connector and splitter from the pole to the modem, and it's still not 100% fixed yet, ^^*#!@#^##^@! Charter!!)

Not too much happening up here near the Mad City, found out we're going to be fairly busy at work for the rest of the year with orders from UPS, FedEx, Yellow, and Dollar General. All this business means we're hiring for assemblers again, which is a good thing, considering we're running a skeleton crew on the suspension line.

I'll take breakfast for dinner, CW. We'll see everyone later.

Randy

[Mookie]

mmm - taking a dip right now!

[JoeKoh]

any cheese dip CW? that mouse with mookie might be hungry
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Well, I'm still doing last minute cleaning. Mutt is getting ready to take a bus to
the airport to meet and great our VIP coming in at 2:40.

The sandwiches are all ready, and waiting in the small cooler. Help yourselves.
Have laid out bowls filled with chips and pretzels. Dip is also available: sour
cream & onion, and french onion, along with a couple other kinds of dip.
