Brother Carl: Got asked Friday afternoon about what I knew about Proviso and would I go run with our Illinois mudchickens for a while if the call comes. (?) I would think we could set up a control point and a base station outside the windows of your circa 1929 edifice?

O.D.-'ing on cold apple cider at the moment (not the hard stuff) whilst crunching Searles Spirals from old D&SL maps on the Moffat Line.

Hmmm - frosted Chicken - wonder if that comes in a Mug?

You are right - I would take vacation and sit here for hours and watch the new fishbowl and laugh and laugh!

^~^ ..... do I smell the remaining odor of.......RAT? Did we have something awful in here over the weekend? If Bergie was in here, he must have been "hunting".

Anyway, another week of eating and fun. I'm ready.

Bad/good part about this forum - when there is bad weather, I have my map out checking on all my friends. Good part is I am finally learning some geography. My 4th grade teacher would be pleased!

Good morning, everyone! Well, here it is Monday morning, and it looks
like we're going to have a sunny day!!

Breakfast this morning: your choice of: sausage, biscuits & gravy, fried
taters or hash browns; or you can have sausage/turkey bacon & pancakes.

The juice and coffee are ready, while you decide what you want for your
breakfast.

Afternoon folks!! At 3:53 p.m., we have a pleasant temp of 64 degrees. And
the sun is shining, barely.

Supper tonight: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, milk gravy, biscuits, and
succatash (lima beans & corn mixed together, for anyone who doesn't
know). Dessert tonight: apple crumb pie w/ice cream.

I just heard that PA is suposed to get some heavy thunderstorms tonight due to the twisters and storns KY recived. This means two things. I better break out the candels because the power might go out and, this also means that I can watch the rushing river waters hopefully!!

[Modelcar]

...Bad weather this season should not be a surprise....It's been terrible in unusual types of weather and of course so destructive to human life and property. Our area just had some rain and rather strong winds overnight and still vigorous wind forecast for most of the day....maybe up to 50 mph at times but it's not near that now.

Morning All! 158 and counting!
Just a quick note as we have to go to Stepsons wrestling banquet.
Hope evryone is safe in KY and IN. Yahoo says 17 killed and over 200 injured. Who would've thought in November!
Will be back later for dessert Willy

A little closer now, and getting closer every day. [;)]


Zach called last night but because of my dead cell phone battery and his tornado we didn't get to talk. I have not heard from him today but I believe all is ok with him since I have not read about any tornados in Missouri.

Kevin is talking with him right now. Kevin's report about Zach is 3 shingles blown off the roof, heavy rain and wind. So he and his dad are ok, which is GOOD. [:)]

There were some killed in two other states, so we need to remember their family in our prayers.

Everyone take care.

GOOD Morning everyone well I hope everyone has a good weekend and boy your right we did have some really heavy rain here last night and the wind we had blew most of the trees blad. But aleast we have not gotten any snow yet which I'm not rally ready for yet but the good thing is my winter driving skills are starting to come out from hiburation but they are not really ready yet but give it a few more weeks and I should be ready for it. Oh Cw is there any hot coca in the diner because that's one of the things I like about winter is drinking hot coca. [tup][:D][:D]

Seems that we got the remnants of a more severe storm
that struck around the Evansville,In. & Henderson,Ky. areas;
around 1:00-1:30 this a.m.
Several deaths from a mobile home park,and quite a bit of
damage to a "horse racing track". (Ellis Park)

[cherokee woman]

Well, Joe, we've had thunderstorms and/or rain since about 4 a.m., and it is
raining hard again. Under a tornado watch until about 11 a.m. Quite windy,
too.

Sunday brunch: all the regular breakfast menu items, plus doughnuts, and
apple-cinnamon and blueberry muffins.

[JoeKoh]

Thuinderstorms and heavy rain here in southeast WI.

Actually the rain started minutes after the Delavan High School soccer team lost the state championship in a very tough 1-0 game.The last time that happened, my wife's older son was the goal keeper in a double over time shoot-out. It is really tough on the seniors because ther is no "wait until next year". They are still the best bunch of kids you could ever meet. They take to heart that scholar comes first in "scholar-athelete", and they character they display puts this old guy's mind at peace.

After the game I met up with wife Linda and family friends for a wedding reception and dinner at the University Club in Milwaukee. The food and service was right up to the standards of the Depot Diner, but the facility is, well, at least a little up scale from our diner. On the other hand, there are no trains anywhere close. Give a little, take a little.

Keep the powder dry.

Did I hear some one talk about SNOW?? I'm ready for that!! I want to go snowboarding, and I want to play some neigboorhood ice hockey!!!!! The only thing I don't like about the snow is the dumb drivers, this is why I tend not to drive too much in the snow, even though I have a 6 inch suspension and body life on my truck, I don't trust other drivers. Plus my area has too many hills and valleys, so I tend not to drive on them in the snow, thus which sort of gets on my nervous because, I can't do as much railfaning as I'd like to.

WoW! There wasn't too much activity here in the diner today, I guess everyone was out enjoying the nice weather. Over here in PA it got up to 70 something degrees, with the exception of the mountains. It's susposed to be nice here all next week.

Well I'm off to nite nite, so see everyone later on today it's 12:17 am here.

[blhanel]

Boy, that sounds SOOOOO good right now... I'll take a HUGE bowl of popcorn and a 20 oz. bottle of Mountain Dew, please.

//my 2200-calorie, 270 carb diet won't suffer here
//I've lost about 15 pounds in two weeks

[cherokee woman]

We have a chance of rain here late night in Louisville. Possibly a little bit
of rain Sunday morning. Right now, our streets are dry. Hope everyone
enjoyed supper tonight.

Currently have some corn popping on the stove, so if anyone wants some
popcorn, come on in to the Diner, and we'll fix you up a big bowl, and
whatever soft drink/pop/soda you want with your popcorn.

[blhanel]

Hey, watch out over there in diner land! Storms headed your way tomorrow morning. We're getting a good soaker here in Iowa tonight.

[cherokee woman]

Supper is ready, folks! To go along with the Tomato Basil w/penna, we have
garlic toast, and garden salad. Dessert: some more fried apple pies.

[railfan619]

Good eveing everyone how are we all doin well the weather has gone to the dogs it raining and it's cold a really bad combo next thing we know it will be snowing which is
bad because then I got to pull out my winter driving skills and learn how to use them again it's just like relearning how to drive in rain after it has not rainined in a really long time but anywho hope eveyone has good night and a good rest of the weekend and I will be talkin to you all later.

[cherokee woman]

Well, hello everyone!! Been busy all day, getting errands done. Have only
been home for about 1/2 hour. It's good to know that I can be away for a
bit, and see that you all keep everything cleaned up!! Mutt, you did a great
job keeping everything going smoothly in here, while I was out. Thank you,
so very, very much!!

Supper tonight: an Italian hamburger casserole called "Tomato Basil Penne."
I'll have it ready about 6:30, EST.

[locomutt]

Jim,
I was hoping that she would have had a lunch menu up
by now,but I KNOW that there is plenty of "fixins" for
sandwiches in the cooler;so until she gets back from "errands"
looks like its fix what you want. Just be SURE to clean
up any and all messes made !![:D]

She has discussed the OTHER ,but I'm certainly NOT going
to let the "cat" out of the bag.[:-,][(-D]

Well getting some closer to the big day, I am sure CW will have a special menu that day for the occasion too. [:D]

[locomutt]

Morning all;juice,tea, and coffee are on and all the normal
breakfast items are on the warming tables.
CW will be in sometime later today,right now she's
semi-occupied in getting some errands done.

[cherokee woman]

Pat, there's some walleye, so help yourself when you come back in
for your late night snack.
