CW - nope - the only thing over there right now is silence! What a great neighbor!

You will definitely know when we get neighbors. I may have to change my address if it goes as usual! [xx(]

[CShaveRR]

Hi! I might need a high-energy lunch today--it looks like the weather will be good enough for a round trip to work on the bike. That ought to put me over 150 miles for the year.

But to do that, I have to leave earlier--so back to work around here!

[cherokee woman]

Mookie, guess from above comment, that you now have new neighbors in the
duplex. Thinking they must be nice, quiet people. Haven't heard otherwise: at
least, not yet.

Lunch today: turkey breasts that have been cooking in the Crock Pot, with a
can of cream of mushroom soup. (Won't say the other cream of -------, out of
respect for someone here). There's enough of the turkey breasts, that we'll
have the same thing for supper, with fried taters added to the menu.

Have some more key lime bars made for dessert today. (Don't worry Carl, I
have a box to make when you get here.)

[Mookie]

Tree: Ah - someone that speaks/understands foreign languages.....

I never got past Brownie and always figured it was what was on the kitchen table to eat.

I should put your sign on my hair dryer at 4 am.....guaranteed to wake the dead and neighbors next door!

I dunno - made perfect sense to me!

Crossing whistle for pre-crossing, crossing, post crossing and make them l-o-n-g!!!!! I enjoyed it, but not sure anyone else did!

I have a little window sticker on my red lights and siren equipped truck: "Aw, did my lights and siren wake you up? Well guess what, Homer - If we gotta be up, you gotta be up."

Gotta find coffee.

This puter pounding takes a skill I don't have this early!

Say Good Night, Joe!

Moo....

Chris - I'm still learning my Digital Rebel XT - so many features, so little time. That whole thing with the EF-S focal lengths is a pain. So's the price. I want to pick up a longer lens, but the pocketbook won't stand the strain right now.

Gotta have that oatmeal. At least until they decide that it really doesn't do anything for ones cholesterol...

[JoeKoh]

take some quick breakfast then its bedtime for me.busy day yesterday.just as busy today.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Good morning, everyone. Hope everyone has a great day today.

Breakfast will be: blueberry muffins, oatmeal & toast, or a bowl of
cereal, if you prefer.

I've got the CD player going this morning. Was too quiet when I came
in this morning. So I'm listening to all our train song CDs while the
coffee is dripping, and the water heating for tea or cocoa. And there is
milk heating for hot chocolate. OH-OH: mini marshmallows running
low. Going to have to make a da***o thestore after a bit to get more. Is
someone sneaking them to make smores, or peeps?!?!

The hygeinist brutalized me today. Have one tooth that's going to need major work (it's been through a lot already).

Hmmmmm, You've only got one that needs work...................................?[(-D]

At least I CAN do the Key Lime Bars.........[:D]

[CopCarSS]

And a Bim Bottom of the Evening to you all (That is the opposite of "Tip Top of the Morning," right?),

Well, it was a bit of a lack-luster day PMA show-wise wasn't it? Truly, I think the Canon 30D should have been named the 20D Mk II after it's specs were revealed. Some nice upgrades, but does it really warrant a new product name (and especially one that will surely generate no end of confusion considering there has already been a D30 in the Canon line-up)?

The 17-55 f2.8 IS is appetizing, but alas! is another one of those dreaded EF-S lenses that those of us using anything made before the Digital Rebel cannot use (all three of us anyways...).

And then there was the new 85mm f1.2L Mk II. A faster focusing version of the oldy...but $2100? I thought the Mk. I was pricey at $1400! Sadly, this means the used market for the original should remain pretty high, too.

And then the poor Nikon folks get (yet) another Macro lens. I question the use of Vibration Reduction on a Macro. If you're not using a tripod for your macro shots, you're probably not doing them very well.

Well, I guess there's always Photokina to look forward to in September!

Meanwhile, how have you all been? I've been well. Still busy, but I guess that keeps me out of trouble. Also signed myself up for Netflix, so I've been catching up on some movies that I've missed (OK...so this is a pretty long list). Last one watched (and loved) was "Million Dollar Baby." It totally deserved all the Oscars thrown its way. Especially Hillary Swank for Best Actress...simply marvelous performance.

Well, I must be on my way. Hope you are all doing well. Take care!

TTFN!

Thanks for a great Dinner tonight as usual CW. Well it is sunny tommorow and doing some railfanning tommorow later in the day.

[cherokee woman]

I'm so glad you all are enjoying the key lime bars and pecan pie bars. Just found
them at the grocery yesterday, and decided to try them! Have plenty left for dessert
after supper tonight.

Speaking of which, supper tonight will be Italian spaghetti w/meat sauce, garden
salad, and Texas toast w/garlic butter.

Carl, I'm not too sure about your ground up bologna. Don't think I want to go there.

[JoeKoh]

pecan pie bars for me and a key lime for matt please! I cant belive it for easter they have large size peep pillows! hope no one has any strange dreams with those!
Quinten[bday]

Only once, I hope!

Pecan Pie Bars! And folks are complaining about how sweet Peeps are!

Can't decide if I want a Pecan Pie Bar or a Key Lime Bar, so I'll have one of each (don't tell the bathroom scale!)

[CShaveRR]

We occasionally whip up a batch of bologna salad--grind up a ring of bologna, add pickle relish and Miracle Whip (light) to taste, and it lasts a few days around here. Good on bread, or if I'm in a hurry I dip a cracker or two into it.

[Mookie]

BC - they not only brutalize you but then they charge you a ton of $ too!

[Modelcar]

All additional greetings....Thank you all....and CW...everytime I hear bologna sandwiches it makes my mouth water....and would you believe I never think of getting any of the stuff to make any....Nor do I mention it to Jean.....Strange.

[Mookie]

Oh Brian - you don't know what you are missing - anything with pecans is pure heaven!

And chocolate chip cookies require English Walnuts! To die for....probably!

[Mookie]

Yes! All the veggies are good, all the cake is good and lunch sounds yummy!

Little rock throwing outside, so think I will stay in here in the hammock, where it is safe!

[blhanel]

I'll take a bologna and cheese, please, and a pecan pie bar (I normally can't stand nuts of any kind, but here at the diner I'm sure I'll like them).

[cherokee woman]

Okay, folks!! The surprise desserts today are: key lime bars and pecan pie bars (made
like the lemon bars).

Quentin: a belated [bday] wish from me to you!! Gee, if you'd like, you could turn the
numbers around, and say that you're 57[:D].

At Produce today, we got: brocolli, oranges, taters, lettuce, cabbage and baby carrots.

Have made tuna salad sandwiches for lunch, along with some bologna &
cheese sandwiches, and tomato soup.

[chad thomas]

Well [bday] Quentin. Better late then never.[:D]

[Modelcar]

....Oh yes, that was a slip up.....Next time I'll just forward it {the chocolate cake}, along to the forum....Jen and Walt note. Those cakes at Red Lobster are pretty darn good....and not expensive either....It costs about as much to purchase 2 pcs. at the restaurant as does purchasing a whole cate to take along....
Jen and Walt...Thanks....but can't handle 75 more.

[CShaveRR]

Peeps are one of the few things that go over the top of the sweetness tolerance for me.

(He says, on his way out the door to see the dental hygienist.)

[locomutt]

Quentin;

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY,SIR !!!!!!!

[bday][bday][bday][bday]

Mook;"Peeps" have long been one of my favorites !!
(especially right now,but I don't have to worry about
'teef' hurting anymore, either...............[:D][(-D] )

Larry;your sister is very correct,they ARE fanstastic "toasted".[:D]

Brian,et. al.;I have no idea what the surprise desserts are either,
she hasn't/won't tell me.[:(]

[Mookie]

Quentin - you could have brought it to the forum and we would have helped you!

Happy Birthday - belatedly! Here's to 75 more! [8D]

[Modelcar]

....CW, your "warm" temps will come across here too today according to the weather people....The sun is shining in on me now and it looks like it wil be a bright one today.
Wife and I had lunch yesterday afternoon at Red Lobster kinda a celebration of birthday....Oh I can't believe it...75th...{mine}, and she asked me perhaps we should take a {whole chocolate cake}, home from there....They really have great ones avail...But I declined...{see that Jen}, just didn't seem in the mood for it....but now today we'll have a nice day for just trying to enjoy the day....

[Mookie]

I can't believe you could even get close to fire with something that has that much sugar! Sugar melt on a stick? My teef hurt and I am only sitting next to the box!
