Headed out for a dinner meeting after work last night - had to take a detour (that's what I get for going the back way in the first place) - couldn't get over one of the hills due to the very slippery conditions. After the meeting I went home - nary a snowflake in sight there.

First snow of the season is alway a joy - this one was just that much worse due to it being so wet. And it was lake effect. Pretty much confined to an east-west line about 10 miles wide.

Had some oatmeal at the house this morning, so cholestoral is under control. Stock me up with some of that bacon and sausage, and a healthy (?) dose of scrambled eggs...

Sis, I pointed out to him that having a Winter Park (to play in) in Colorado is a lot like having a Summer Park in Death Valley.

Call me crazy, but I'm thinking about bringing the bike to work with me today. Gotta get those last few miles in!

Thought it was a good time to post today's lunch specials:

fish sandwiches or fish w/out the bread, fries, jumbo shrimp, cole
slaw, and for dessert: oatmeal cookies right out of the oven. Yep,
I've been baking this morning (decided to bake, and warm up the
kitchen!).

Larry, I just hope that snow doesn't make it's way down here. I'm
definitely NOT ready for snow. Not looking forward at all to
getting the snow shovel out. Besides our steps, and sidewalk,
we also shovel the main sidewalk in front of our house, our
neighbor's steps and walk across the street, and her sister-in-law,
who lives two doors (well, gravel parking lot) up from us. And some-
times, we'll shovel all the way down to the corner, and maybe up to
the other corner, as well.

And Carl, have you seen or heard from CopCarSS yet?

OK, you're crazy. But my project this weekend is dig out and mount up my studded tires on the spare wheels for my Diamondback commuter bike (Frankenbike to me and my cohorts - I built it up with random parts I had lying around or got on closeout deals). I'm ready for anything Winter throws at me.

Considering your geography, if you get a big enough body of water around there to generate lake effect snow, the snow will be the least of your problems...

Larry, you've got me there. Unless the Ohio River counts.

Okay, how about a "Quote of the Day" from our newspaper this
morning. It's from comedian Dave Attell:

Just once, I would like to read in the paper: 'Drunk
driver hits other drunk driver as pedophile dies of shock',"

Guess that's about it for quotes today. Looks like the perch and cod
are disappearing fast. Guess I'd better get some more going.

Time to post the supper menu for tonight: have fried and baked more
fish for supper. Also have hushpuppies, and fries, and more cole slaw.

Still have plenty of oatmeal cookies left for supper, and there's an oatmeal
crisp for dessert also.

That's o.k., Joe: I'd never fry any goldfish. They're too cute
to look at, and watch them swimming.

I will be up late and early, so I need a tall cup of expresso, and "pronto por favor"! Something about prostrating is disturbing yet sticks on the first page. I can't take it! But the problem is much more than that. This special day will require breakfast before bed.

Good Saturday morning, all. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day
today. Saturday brunch is ready: we've got: turkey bacon, scrambled
eggs, sausage, biscuits and sausage gravy, grits, cream of wheat,
toast, several different kinds of jelly, jam, preserves, and marmalade.

Everyone have a great day, and stay safe in your travels today.
And be back here by about 6:30 EST for the Saturday night pizza fest.

Kind of quiet here and on the forum. Folks either sleeping in or else we have a number of members that get up and go to work on Saturday mornings. I have to meet a tax client in an hour myself.

Mark-thanks for the response on the "SCK" engine. With a little luck maybe you get a shot of the finished product.

Keep the shiny side up.

After the quick cold snap, we are back 'bove freezing. Still cold enough to keep the furnace going at a pretty good pace. In my mind's eye, see ten dollar bills being sucked right into the burner section.

I'll be on the bike again today--the rain that had been in the forecast for today has been removed, and I'm not even sure whether it froze here last night (the Bug says it got down to 32). I have 50 miles to go!

Might get back for some pizza after work. Save some green pepper, ham, and pineapple for me!

Hello all,

Not very good couple of days. I got my heart broken by a women I fell for. I tried to help her as she seems to be on a path of self-destruction by martyring our friendship but she didn't seem to figure out why I did it so I guess I will have to move on. I just wish I still didn't have feelings for her-and I worry about her.......

2. sausage, pepperoni, onion, green & red peppers & cheese
3. pepperoni & cheese only
4. green pepper, ham & pineapple
5. special, with everything on it

They're all lined up on the warmer bar, so help yourselves.
