Mookie, that's a great looking picture!!

Well, I finally made it back from my unproductive meeting
this morning.  It seems that the local government employees
do not have a clue as to who they call in for a meeting, or
why they are called in.  So have to go back
Wednesday morning, and hopefully, they'll have their act
together!Angry [:(!]Banged Head [banghead]

It is a business photo - problem is - there was some monkey business in the background and that is how they caught me laughing.  As Brian knows - I take a horrible picture!  Have to catch me at the right time.  I would have picked a better background - but no one asked me!  (An SD70MAC would have been my choice - in Cream and Green! Not the Ugh Orange!)

Don't you see the little points on the ears?  Look very closely - they are there.  Early stages!

Mookie - I thought I heard a little while back that you might be headed for North Platte and Bailey Yard over Thanksgiving. Is that still on? Just wondering, but if it is, I wish you the best of luck!

...Good morning all: Just a comment of weather. Last evening we got a "skiff" or trace of snow that made the grass white...First of the season. Just checked my data here and last season the first was Nov. 5th @ 1". So we're doing better this season.
Jen I see nice warm weather on west of us which you folks might already have now. Sun is shining bright here and that bit of white stuff will be leaving soon. 30 degrees early this morning. Forecast for all this week is dry and mostly sunny and warmer here in central Indiana. That really sounds good for the travel days of the holiday, etc...
Everyone enjoy....

Well - the corn worked!  Scattered some along I-80 and sure enough - Sir Chicken made a right turn and ended up in my territory.  I had my plate ready Chef [C=:-)] and then realized, he had - Lady Hen with him!  And.........she plied me with chocolate, chunk cookies!  Well, how could I have chicken for supper after that!  The chocolate was such a distraction, I didn't notice they had been here until they were back on I-80 heading east! 

Looks like hot dogs for dinner on Thursday. 

Willy - the gold lettering on the front and rim of the cup is what caused the sparking.  Didn't even think of that, or would have warned you ahead of time.  I think they are more for show than go. 

CW - I will be gone Wed - heading west to the foothills and very, very close to the asparagus fields at the edge of Colorado.  So will bring in a cooler and pack up some food to go, please and thank you.

Going out in the garden to enjoy the sunshine - in the hammock!  With my coffee!

Good Monday morning to everyone. 

Ray, thanks for getting breakfast this morning, and making
the coffee, cocoa, hot tea, and juice.

Everyone will have to fend for themselves for lunch today:
I'm getting ready to leave in about 1/2 hour for a meeting,
and I doubt I will be out of that meeting, to make it back
to fix lunch.  Glad there's enough leftovers from yesterday's
Sunday Dinner:  you all can just warm it up, unless you find
something else you'd rather have.  Just make sure you clean
up, please.  Thanks, and everyone have a great day.

Good morning everyone. It appears that once again I am the first one here in the Diner this morning, so I think I will take charge of putting breakfast on. I've already made the coffee and mixed up a fresh batch of orange juice. And the hot chocolate is also ready - made with real milk and Hershey's chocolate syrup.

On the menu for this morning; bacon, sausage, hash brown potatoes, scrambled eggs, english muffins topped with peanut butter or anything else you like on them, buttermilk pancakes and french toast.Chef [C=:-)]

It's 19 degrees here in Sioux Falls, but it is supposed to warm up to about 50 degrees later this afternoon. The weather here is supposed to be fairly nice and warm during this Thanksgiving week. I will be headed out to work another shift as a bell ringer for the Salvation Army within a couple hours, and I will need to dress in several layers.

I hope everyone out there has a good day!

Keep those comments up and we may arrange a job transfer for you.  I am sure that Ray would welcome you as a new neighbor in Souix Falls.Evil [}:)]

I would welcome Datafever as a neighbor anytime, should he ever decide to pack up and move to Sioux Falls. I would welcome almost any other member of this forum as a neighbor for that matter. It's cold here in Sioux Falls this morning, at last report we had 19 degrees. It is supposed to warm up here through the mid-50's through much of the week.

Well - it was hotdogs at 50 paces - If you were that close to this house fire, you could have roasted a hotdog....  The fire was really going when we were called - and as fully involved as any I've seen when I got there. 

The place had been empty for 15 years, and there was no way we were going to save anything, so we didn't.  It's still burning, and we're all home. 

Time for bed...

Hmmmm, send your weather our way please.  Today has not been the nicest of days in that respect.
Glad we did our railfanning yesterday even though it was overcast. Today has been much cooler,
semi-windy and drizzling rain all day...........just enough to make you want to stay inside!
Hope we all can enjoy the upcoming holiday weekend and all be Safe!!

There - I fixed the echo....  Discovered that you can't delete a post that has replies, however...

Sacto's suggestion for dinner sounds good.

Snowed ever so slightly here, but the air temp and the ground were too warm for it to stick.
