Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

[doghouse]

Pass on the cold-cuts. However, whats the blue plate special? Leaves are starting to change color where I live.

[cherokee woman]

Since no one's come in since Jim, Mookie and me this morning, if anyone's
interested, there are cold cut sandwiches made up and in the cooler, and
potato chips on the rack on the counter.

Will check back around 3:30, and will let you know (if anyone has been in)
what the supper menu will be.

[cherokee woman]

Jim, thank you so much for getting the juice and coffee ready! Always enjoy
a helping hand around here.

Mookie, glad the new carpet is down. That's always a headache, getting
everything moved out of the way, to put down.

Breakfast this morning: everything on the breakfast menu, from bacon to
watermelon.

[Mookie]

Wow! Back just in time to see sick call, summer hanging on and not a lot of happy talk!

Well.....Carpet down. It is wonderful! Made the duplex look a lot bigger. Maybe it was all the "items" we got rid of that helped?

Got to do a little train watching. Talked to a guy that watches with us most of the time - he said yesterday before we got there, he saw 25 trains go through. Nothing after we arrived. Think there is a pattern developing here and I have two time segments down that I am going to try out.

East of Nebraska - we had highs in the 70's on Sat and Sun and little rain on Friday, more on Sat. Headed east....so enjoy.

Now I need to head for the hammock since I am tired reading 3 days of postings.

Do Not Disturb (except for food)

I am sure Thomas was proud of you all. [;)]


Coffee is brewing and OJ is ready. I have an early start this morning so I went ahead and took care of these two things. [:)]

Everyone have a nice day. [:o)]

Ok Jim, here are the photo's you asked for. (sorry they are terrible as i couldnt scan them I had to take a pic of them)

Thats what has been going on for the past 2 weekends.

On the left is Will Lohrback (pronounced LohrbaUck), who is going to work for the BNSF aug. 27th, ME!!, Kale Mcconnel, and Clint Ferner, who worked for the Missabe for many years.
And no, I am not holding Wills hand, I had my hand on the back of the buffer.

That's ok, CW, the game on Saturday was the complete opposite, we were getting PO'ed at the Brewers for the way they were playing.

Had a family picnic today, got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while, learned my cousin was pregnant and getting married in a month.

Won't be raiding the fridge tonight due to the picnic, we had great food today. Catch y'all tomorrow.

Well, we got some more rain about an hour and a half ago. Rained pretty
good, kind of heavy, for about a1/2, 3/4 of an hour. Haven't gone out though,
to check the rain guage.

I'm sorry to say that we watched most of the Reds/Brewers game this
afternoon. No wonder they lost: we actually had a chance to watch a game,
and what do they do, but lose it. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

[railfan619]

Hey how about some grapes and watermelon to just sit around and watch the sun go.Down which is a pretty site to see all of those diffrent colors that it makes. when going down but any who hope you'll have a good week at work and I'll be talkin to you'll later.[8D][:D]

[espeefoamer]

Well, the heat wave has finally broken here in So. Cal.yesterday I attended a "Half Moon Madness"party and train watching at a friends house,and several of us had to put on sweatshirts in the evening for the slide show.(went on till 1:00 AM[:)])

[railfan619]

Oh sounds good and the dessert sounds even better I'll be sure to stop in tonight before I have to get ready for work tomorrow.[dinner][dinner]

[cherokee woman]

Supper tonight will be: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and lima beans.
Dessert will be: peach cobbler w/ice cream. Then, if anyone has any room
left, we'll have some watermelon and watch the sun go down.

Joe, tell Mama "Thank you" for making muffins. Looks like they really went

Man, it reached 105 yesterday, that was horrible. And school shopping on top of that, absolute torture...

Brunch sounds good to me, I'm starving...

[CShaveRR]

Queasy stomach was still in evidence, but I think some of that OJ/TJ would be nice for it, along with my usual cold cereal.

Sorry, guys--7-Up is one of my un-favorites (turning around one of their ads). Not sure I've had the diet variety, but was very intolerant of the regular stuff.

Worse news--along with me, my bike is down in the dumps. I'll be taking it into the shop today for some "tweaking" and possible replacement of vital parts. That means that on my upcoming extended weekend in Michigan I'll be completely at the mercy of the gasoline dealers.

If I'm up to going, of course.

Sorry to sound like such a mope today; I'm really not feeling as bad as all that, at the moment. However, I do have to go to work yet today (which means changing out of shorts and into jeans and work boots), and expect that experience alone to fini***he job.

[cherokee woman]

Good Sunday morning everyone!

Carl, hope you're feeling better today. How about I fix you a nice bowl of chicken
soup, and maybe a grilled cheese sandwich? And Carl, along with the diet 7Up,
I also have your diet Mountain Dew.

Jay, so glad to hear that you are on the mend.

For everyone else, Sunday brunch will be: turkey bacon, sausage links & patties
(yes, went to the store yesterday), biscuits and gravy, and especially for Jim, we
have some nice, cold watermelon. Also have OJ & OJ w/tangerine
juice.

BTW, we finally got some rain last night/this morning (since it was right
around midnight here). According to local news station, we got anywhere from
1/2 to 2 inches, depending on the area where you live. Need to go out and pick
up the recycling bins, and close the lid on the garbage can. Did have some winds
that were anywhere between 40 and 60 mph for a little bit.

Carl-Nearest I think was when the Metra Line to Fox Lake crosses the C&NW West Line at Western Av. If my bug spread that far, everybody else is looking at a bad day or two. I still have symptoms, but not feeling quite as crummy.

CW-That's OK on the anchovies, I'll bring my own and put them on the pizza when your'e not looking.

Mushrooms, bacon, black olives, and pineapple--and a view of the tracks from out the window. Now that's a pizza experience! That's what I did last time, and I would have done it again tonight except that I'm apparently coming down with something less than pleasant. I hope I can sleep it off (just how close did you get to me, Jay?).

Carl [:)]

I am sorry to hear you are not 100%. [:(]


CW [:)]

How about some nice chicken noodle soup and some 7 UP (Diet of course, my favorite when sick). We all wish you a speedy recovery Carl. [:D]
