Bo definitely ranks right up there with the best coaches in the Big Ten.  A class guy- he came to Iowa to help honor Hayden Fry when Hayden retired.

Any fish left?  Hold the fries, though- trying to keep the diet going at least until next Thursday (gobble-gobble).

I've been up for about 45 minutes here and right now we have a temperature of 26 degrees in Sioux Falls. I am getting ready to go to work later this morning as a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. It is supposed to warm up to about 42 degrees this afternoon, a bit cooler than what was originally predicted. I plan to dress in several layers and will wear my insulated boots. I will stop in at the Diner and grab a cream-filled long john and fill my thermous bottle with hot coffee.

I hope the rest of you folks out there have a good day!

Almost forgot to mention this: Today is Gordon Lightfoot's birthday. This well known Canadian folk artist had written a lot of good stuff, including "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" and "Steel Rail Blues". Happy Birthday to Gordon Lightfoot!!Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]

Good Friday morning to all.  We're about 20 degrees cooler this morning, with a
current temp of 35.  At least the rain has left, for now, anyway.  Supposed to be
party sunny today.

Coffee is ready, juice is made, and hot chocolate and hot tea are available.

Breakfast this morning:  DOUGHNUTS.  We have cake doughnuts, doughnut
holes, chocolate covered doughnuts, chocolate covered cream filled, longjohns
that are vanilla filled and cream filled, along with raspberry, apple and peach
danish.

I hope each and everyone of you have a great day, and I'll be back in a little while.

If there is any meatloaf left over from tonight's dinner, it will make excellent sandwiches for lunch tomorrow! When I was a kid I used to turn my nose up at meatloaf, but I have since acquired a taste for it and it is especially good as cold sandwich meat.

Meatloaf sounds dandy.

Getting ready to duck here - the storm shouldn't last long, but it's looking pretty nasty on radar.  Same line that just tore up the mid-Atlantic region.

And a meeting tonight - if we aren't all out chasing thunderstorm calls.

Okey dokey, looks like the votes are for meatloaf.  So. . . .

Meatloaf w/mashed taters and gravy, peas, corn will be the special for tonight. 

Have two to-go containers in the fridge for Mookie to take home, and will fix
anyone else who wants a to-go container for supper, or you can fix up your
order yourself, which ever you prefer.

Since it doesn't look like we've had too many patrons in here this morning, I think
I will continue with the breakfast menu for lunch today. 

If anyone has a request for supper tonight, PLEASE let me know ASAP, so I can
get started on it.  Thank you.

That's funny, Mutt! I used to be a member of our local Y Men's Service Club and this organization is a fund raising arm of the YMCA. We used to sell Christmas trees as a method or raising money for the YMCA. I will have to share this story with a few of my friends in that club.

Mook; CW Made me do it !!  She did also say that you could partake of said omelet "Hammock-Side"Big Smile [:D]

Ray; our temps have already dropped to right at 52 degrees and are supposed to keep going
down during the day to the mid to low 40s by this afternoon late.

Interesting side note to the weather here. A couple in New Albany,In. (just across the river)
donated an approx. 65 foot tall Norwegian Spruce for Louisville's main Christmas Tree for
this year. Apparently the "powers that be" thought it would be too difficult to "truck" across
the river,so they got an Army Reserve unit to bring in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter to
"sling load" it. Due to winds picking up,they couldn't set it down at it's final resting spot,so
they dropped it off at the Waterfront Park and trucked it from there encountering and
entangling several power lines and loss of limbs. Yesterday they got it set up where it's
supposed to go...........during the night,early morning hours a VERY strong gust of wind
toppled it over into the middle of the street,they are NOW righting it and securing it in
place, Again!
( one of the promoters of the event said they might have to check with a couple of the
local hospitals for "artificial limbs" to replace some of the damaged ones.)

All levity aside; I should add that the couple that donated this tree; Stipulated that it be
Dedicated to the Veterans-For All Their Service to this Country.

And a good Thursday morning to Cherokee Woman, Locomutt and everyone else out there. 55 degrees in Louisville? Gee, I wish it was that warm in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I threw an extra wool blanket on my bed last night and the temperature had gotten down to 17 degrees last night, and that is where it is right now. It is supposed warm up to about 41 by about 3:00 this afternoon.

My Mom always used to say that there is a lot of bacteria that gets passed around when it is warm out when normally we should be experiencing cold weather. And I think she was right. It is no fun having to deal with a sinus infection, and CW, I hope you are able to get rid of yours quickly!

Well, tomorrow I start working for the Salvation Army as a Christmas season bell ringer. It's only a temporary job but at least it will provide me with a source of badly needed income for roughly six weeks. Later this morning I will start putting together all my warm-weather gear.
