Sarah, I agree with Carl: I'd love to hear your speech also!!

Randy, welcome back!! Knew somebody had been missing: other than
our illustrious owner, jhhtrainsplanes! Keep making sausage and sausage
gravy for him, but I'm just not sure he's getting in here and eating it.

Keeping the fryer going with the fish, so if any of you want to-go orders for
supper at home tonight, you're more than welcome.

And yes, Sarah, you can always get tarter sauce with your fish!!

Afternoon everyone.......

Sorry I haven't been in in a few weeks, been busy at work. We now have the entire mod center building trailers, which is fine, but now it's like the blind leading the blind. Makes for very interesting days (especially when I found out yesterday that I'm the only one reading the blueprints, the poor guy behind me had to redo all the bolts after he found out that he took out the correct washers, and put in the wrong ones!). Anyway, anyone up for shooting and bucking another 32 drop-frame trailers? Anyone? Anyone?

(dead silence)

Oh well.

Willy, I feel for you about bringing your four door tour bus into action, I spent 85 bucks last night putting 25 gallons of fuel into my contractor's special truck. $3.37 a gallon and climbing, I think diesel will be the first thing to hit $4/gallon. I'm also surprised the Teamsters union hasn't griped about it yet.

Thanks for the fish fry, CW, I'll be in many times for it today and tonight, and some of that apple cider sounds good It's been pretty chilly here, dropped to 23 on Thursday morning, I think this morning was about the same, but it's supposed to warm up for the weekend, just in time for Madison's annual Halloween nuthouse party. I'll be taking bets all weekend as to whether there will be another riot this year, supposedly there will be about 400 or so police in about a six or seven block area. I think that they are going to have just as many problems this year as in past years.

We'll see everyone later.

Hey Carl, Chris might not have to go to Chicago to listen to WFMT. WFMT is a superstation carried on satellite and I have worked at many Cable companys out here on the west coast that carry it.[8D]

CW I think I will be taking some fish and fries now. Can I have tauter (spelling) sauce to go with it please? Oh by the way thanks for cooking up those cinnimon (spelling) rolls this morrning they were delicious!!

I have off from school today but, I do have some studying to do. Can you believe it I already have to prepare myself for a test next week, and I have to give a presentation on Monday about what I want to do in life, and what I want to get out of taking my speech class. Well, ya know I don't want to take speech class at all, but I have to take it as a requirement. Oh well.

Temps here in PA are a little chilly but, the sun is out and about, which is nice. Oh whats also nice is that my grandparents are going away so I get the entire house to myself over the weekend!!!!! Yes.

CW - you have never seen me in a cap/hat. I entertain hordes of people in a store when I put a hat/cap on. Nearly cleared a whole floor in an upscale department store in Kansas City years ago - tried on an expensive hat in front of a group of women I was traveling with.....they all fell down on the floor laughing and caused a huge scene.

My head looks like a ping pong ball with a hat on it. So - send no hats/caps. Will just hide until I can wa***he fur back to my duh brown....but thank you for thinking of me. I have a feeling I will be all back to "normal" tomorrow....

Mookie, I don't have a railroad baseball cap, but I do have a Cincinnati

he'd let you borrow it, plus he has a couple of railroad caps. Want us
to send you any of them[?]

Cinnamon rolls and doughnuts for breakfast?? You've NEVER had a cinnamon roll until you've been to my house, cherokee woman. I make them from scratch![swg]

Sarah, I have run the Hen out of Diet Dew on occasion, but I'm pretty sure I had help doing that. Local grovery store knows better than to let the supply go down (OTOH, I've run our store out of caffeine-free Diet Pepsi several times. The Diner gets a supply of caffeine-free Diet Dew for me from Michigan, and the management there never runs out!

Chris, do you listen to WFMT when you're back "home"?

Portions of the third movement of Mahler 7 will definitely send eerie chills up and down your spine. The little viola solos there sound very spidery to me.

After 0-0 through double overtime Delavan-Darien High School beat soccer rival Big Foot High School 3-2 in a shoot-out. Jake Godina is the hero of the game, taking the goal keeper position for the shoot-out and blocking three attempts by the opponents. DDHS advances to the round of eight and a victory Saturday will put them into the state championship series.

Who says interscholastic sports are any less exciting than the World Series.

The kids are my stepson's classmates and I have watched them play soccer and grow for ten years.

CopCar I like your taste in music I think some Bach organ pices would be great for Holloween, amybe we can include some Handel organ peices as well. I would also say that we should include the last movement of Dvorak's Symphony # 9 but, it's not all that scary I just like it!!

RIRR80 today I brought six gallons of apple citer from a local farmer in Lancaster County. So, in light of this APPLE CITER ALL AROUND TONIGHT for those that want it. How bout them apples, huh?? lol

Carl I'm surprised you don't run the White Hen out of Diet Mountain Dew too, or do you run the supermarket out of that?? lol

CW - any Cheesy Brats? I've become addicted to them [dinner] With some cole slaw and some of Sarahs's cider. Then we can polish off Matt's candy for dessert.. Joe , I wouldn't want him to get bad teeth. Mine are already shot, so think of it as "mercy eating"
I like the idea of grilling in OCT. It seems to push winter back awhile. Willy
