Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

Locomutt....No maybe the one they are alluding to is the one on the radar screen right now....I just looked in the last 5 min. and it is sliding toward us but....I believe most if not all the red part will slide just under us...It looks nasty.

[locomutt]

Modelcar,
That must have been the 'patch' that our weather people were showing
a few minutes ago;that we are 'supposed' to get in the wee hours. If it
will cool things down some,We're all for it. We got to 95 today as the official,
with the heat index at 100.

James, [#welcome] to the Diner !

Tom,I found some green paint,if you still need it for the yard;
better yet,come cut our grass,take the clippings and spread
on your yard,be green for awhile ! [swg]

[Modelcar]

Long range forecast has our Sunday coming up here to touch 96...! Got a bit of rain about an hour ago...Nothing severe and just a nice brief rain. Radar had big red bloches coming our way from the northwest but some went south of us and others dissipated. Got off lucky and some rain for a bonus.

I would get mighty sick from all of that ice cream. Oh one more thing I had a great time today by going though a nice size puddle made a big ol wave and got free bus wa***o.[:D][:D][:D]

IH is still using their venerable DT466? Boy, that engine is getting up there in years. I would have thought they had designed and built a new engine model to meet emissions. Cummins' 855CID engine hs it beat, though, it's in its fourth or fifth incarnation right now, and I don't think it needs the EGR to meet the new requirements!

Our newest fire truck doesn't have the DT466 in it, but I don't recall what it does have... Can't make out the plate in the pictures. Both our old tanker and our pumper do have the DT466 in them.

Boy by the weather talk, you folks need to come out west ,to the coast. It will be a high of 75 today on the coast, but don't drive five miles inland because it will be in the 90's, and 10 miles inland in the100's. no tornados and no rain squales. Yes I pay a high price to live here, but it's worth it to me . Come on out to San Diego area and see the Midway,if you want to see some big staem engines, it just doesn't run on tracks.

Amen brother. I try not to talk weather to much in here, don't want to make anyone jellous[;)][:D].

Hi all, been pretty busy lately so I havn't been in here much but things have slowed down the last couple of days and I've been trying to catch up on all the boards and news spots I regularly hit. As mentioned the weather here on the coast is quite comfortable. Next week I have to go out to the desert and splice in some new plant. Not looking forward to that, the temps out there have been hitting the 120s.[:0] Havn't had to work in that kind of heat science I worked in Palm Springs 8 years ago. Anyway just stopped in to say hi and grab a nice tall glass of ice tea.

Have agreat day everyone.[8D]

[cherokee woman]

Jay, congratulations on the newest addition to your family. When little Mia
makes her first visit to Grandpa's house, you can hold her all you want, rock
her, etc., just to have the privilege of spoiling your first grandchild. When next
month, seems like you'll have another one to spoil!!

Also, give our (mutt & me) congrats& best wishes to the rest of the family.

Even though it's so hot and humid, supper tonight will be:

spaghetti and meat balls, Texas garlic toast, and garden salad.

Chris, thank you ever so much for bringing in the extra sports drinks.
Know they will be much appreciated by everyone here today.

[dharmon]

congrats!!

Whoever's doing the rain dance keep doing it, we need (and are about to get) another batch of rain. Might get ugly here real quick, though.

Much as I'd love to see Philly, I think i'll stay in the Badger state for a while longer.

Eggs, bacon, and pancakes sound good for breakfast.

A delicious 73 and comfortable here as I write this.

Can we make the cheese on mine Swiss (and put it on seeded rye)? Some hot mustard will dress it up just fine. I'll have barbeque chips, too, please.

Was at the county fair the other day (doing EMS duty) and enjoyed a "sasparilla." Very good, thank you!

And a tip top o tha' marnin to everyone...

Well, in the history of recorded Denver weather, we've only hit 105 twice. The first time was in 1878, and the second was yesterday. Somehow I'm not exactly thrilled about being a part of this auspicious occasion. [xx(]

I've brought a case of sports drinks, and a bunch of SPF 30 sunblock for everyone n the diner today. Remember to be careful out there in such conditions everyone!

Happy Rails!

[CSXrules4eva]

Well gosh darn it I can't believe how eaily I am being here in the diner. Ok CW I think I'll have some pan cakes, and a tall glass of orange juice. I need that to start off my day. Well part of the reason why I'm in here so eairly is because, I'm not feeling too well and decided to take the day off. I can do without being in that intense heat today.

rvos1979 how did you know the buses I was working on were International?? Yes they were and they are a pain to work on. Like I said yesterday I only got the one exhaust done and today I was suposed to finish up the other three but, that's not going to happen since I'm not at work. I personally wi***hat you were there since you've done them before, I could of used the guidence. The new buses have the DT466 with the EGR. We call them the new EGR engine to cut back on emissions. Good luck on you future endevors with trucks hehehehe.

[JoeKoh]

morning
whoever did the rain dance it worked.power is out in some spots.we were without power for about an hour.more of the heat today and chances of more storms tonight.plenty of juice and other drinks are made for today.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Good morning all. Looks like it's going to be another hot, hot, hot
one today. [V] I know it's that time of year, but man, oh man, would I like to
see snow right now.

Breakfast this morning: anything you want from the regular breakfast menu.

Tharmeni, there's always plenty of hot coffee around here. I drink it all day long.
(actually, after about one, two hours, I turn the pot off here at home, and drink
the coffee at room temp.)


Okay, since no one else bothered to give me some ideas for lunch and
supper for the next couple of days, today, we go with railfan619's suggestion.
Lunch will be ham (&cheese) sandwiches, and potato chips.

Will let everyone know the supper menu around one p.m.

Sure hope we see Mookie back today. Sure did miss her yesterday. Hope
she just took a vacation or personal day, and wasn't sick yesterday.

[Tharmeni]

Whew!
I just returned from five days of flying all around this country, including the last two days when I had to get up at 4:30 a.m. to catch early flights! Now I'm up to head into work. I need a lot of hot black coffee and keep it comin', darlin'.

[Modelcar]

locomutt....Same forecast for up here...Next 5 days 90 or 90's plus nasty humidity...Saw 93 on bank thermometers in Muncie today and our unit at home right outside of the city before the peak heat...was right on 90 and the index was really nasty. Wife and I with granddaughter were out on our Cardinal Greenway Trail {with bikes}, yesterday and this morning and it's just way too hot for such punishment...
