Wow, I psoted not that long agfao, and My post is already at the bottom of the dirty laundry pile- not saying this is a dirty laundry pile- this is a great place- I otta copyright this thread and make you all pay somehting to post in it-

Maybe not money, either- something RR valuable.

But I was reading a few pages back abotu maming the Model RR forum goers upset- that isn't that hard- tell them you have a 'Q' scale model RR- see how long it takes for them to run an illegal opperation- or for their head to not compute, and then they start yelling at each other, or fanatically searching through magazines looking for the ominous 'Q' scale- while you sit there tithering.

Of course, I am joking- have been tempted to do it to- but Nah, i'm not that horrible- No I am horrible, but not to that degree, thats just evil. like stealing candy from a baby evil- Fun, but just nasty.

So what has changed- many new people- I like seeing new faces. gotta get a new pictue of me up here- you wouldn't believe what I turned into- darwin was wrong, we can unevolve- Radioshack has my electric razor, and i'm looking more like a Gorilla-thing everyday.

Pictures of flowers?- i missed the 'botanical gardens welcomes you' sign. (relax- i'm joking) the picture is beautiful- If i could take pictures like that- i'd be a photgrapher. I can take pictures like that, but they seem to always be blurry- swear to goodness it is the camera that has the shakes, not me.

other then that this place is looking really good-

I'm getting aggrivated with this company- because i need to order a new RR vest and they are being really stickler-like. If i pick a new one up at the yard, and sign for it and everyhting, that'll amke it the fifth one this year. so when my signature becomes apparant, i'll be in for the beating of my life- I keep tearing the bloody things on the freight cars- one rip, it's finished...

and if they hear i need a new one, they'll kick me in not such a nice area.

So i play ovveride, and went right to the manifacturer.

I do have a brain, for all of you that questioned.

so how is everyone else, other then me?

At least the "Reds" are staying HOT these days[:D][:D]
Now,if we could just get the temperature down from HOT
to MODERATE;and maybe just a bit of rain would
help us all out some.[sigh]

Sorry everyone, for hardly posting today. I've been busy cooking.

Supper tonight is your choice of pot roast with veggies or lasagna and
garlic toast.

Dessert will be your choice of the following: vanilla or chocolate sundae
cones, fudge bars (used to be call fudgesickles) or frozen juice pops.

Welcome back, Chris. That sure is a very pretty flower in your latest
picture.[^]

Holy cow, I leave for a little while, and this board goes wild! Seriously, it seems like a very different board. Thank heavens for a stable thread like the Depot Diner!

So how has life been treating all of the diner patrons? Are you all well? I've been taking a couple sojourns around my fair state, and enjoying quite the plethora of wildflowers this year. Had to bring this one digitally to the diner for everyone:



This past trip took me up to Dotsero, but I failed to see any rail-related traffic.

At any rate, hope you are all well, and I look forward to hanging around here a little bit, though I am headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend.

TTFN!

One of the perks of being the owner is getting to eat "off' the menu. My B L T s yesterday were great. CW, maybe we should have them for the paying customers every now and then. [:p] [:D]

Well got to run. I slept late this morning since this is my first week back on second shift. Then next week who knows what shift I will be working, I certainly don't. [:(]

You're in luck: along with donuts, we have buttermilk pancakes (is there any
other kind?!?!) with LOTS AND LOTS OF SYRUP) along with sausage.

And we also have biscuits and gravy: can't let all that sausage grease go to
waste, now, can we? If I did that, Jim would fire me, and find another cook[:(]

I am going to blush over this, but hey - the pink will match my hair!

Driver had a t-shirt - Your proctologist called. They found your head. I think of that on just about a daily basis!

OK Jay, I will stop!

Someone said donuts and I agree - we eat way too healthy here. Need to do some cream filled, fried crullers, dipped in chocolate icing and.....a big glass of milk!

(I just got heartburn and 5 pounds for free!)

Good early morning, all. CW, I just raided the fridge for dinner, thanks for the leftover meatloaf and potatoes.

Found a shirt for the Top Fuel guys: "500 cubic inch, nitro gulping, fire breathing, 6000 horsepower thrill ride! If it's not going over 300 mph... shut it off. You're wasting my time!"

Be back for lunch..... Maybe.

Out of the frying pan, AND into the fire. Cut the sandbags, BUT the balloon wouldn't go any higher. Let's go up to the mountains, OR down to the see. Always say 'thank you,' OR at least say 'please!'

When I was younger and I had to go to the supermarket with my mom and a friend of mine (sometimes) we would hold racing competitions down the asle's with shoping carts. It got so bad to the point of were we were knocking down items and other things off the shelves. We also tackled one another into the shelves which also caused the food or whatever to go splat. Good times, god times. I was kind of distructive as a kid, my mom said I should be in the demoliation bussness, since the only real thing I knew how to do well was search and distroy. Thats why I played ice hockey for 9 yrs. lol

CW I'm going to need to have some of that meatloaf.

Today in Philly it was suposed to rain and thunder storm but, did we get anything??? NO!! I worry about some of these weather reports. It got up to around 80 somthing here. I do wonder if the rain is going to come later on?//.

T-shirts I have one from six flags that says on the front "Have you ever been this high?" Back is reads NITRO SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE height 240ft, speed 80mph, ride duration 4mins. People always ask me about that shirt because of the "Have you ever been this high? saying.
I have another one that reads "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, hate me because your boyfriend thinks I am."

the meatloaf and shellie beans w/onions & potatoes for supper tonight.

Both the Twins and the Cubs have gone substancially (wrong spelling) downhill.

Mookie: I just woke up and was not in the mood to cook. And the squirrel was attacked by something.

Ok, my neighbor (weird guy) raises squirrels, so this morning he knocks on my house and says, "What happened to my squirrel", and I told him I didnt know. He said he might press charges. (as if there are any) (as I said, weird guy)

I aslo have noticed that even through what I have dubbed "The Crappy Post" era, the coffee shop has stayed out of the crappy posts area. YAY for us!
