The sun is now out and 40 here.

I am up but, I am not up.

Where is the COFFEE?

[cherokee woman]

Jim, here's your coffee, all ready for you.

Today's lunch will be: tuna salad sandwiches w/curly fries; or, you can have
a cod fish sandwich w/fries, cole slaw, and hushpuppies. For those who do
not want seafood, there is country fried steak w/milk gravy, mashed potatoes
and steak fries.

Dessert: oatmeal cookies and ice cream.

[cherokee woman]

If anyone is interested, the supper menu for tonight will be: burgers and fries.

I'm in...

Big fire across the county from me this morning. Old feed mill, across the street from an elementary school. School was never in danger, and the kids weren't there yet (6:30AM), but they attended school elsewhere for the day. Smoke was visible for miles.

[JoeKoh]

burgers and fries were delicious matt says thank you. now he wants some of those cookies with milk too. growing boy.
stay safe

[CSXrules4eva]

yes I tend to agree with Joe the burgers and fries were very good. Of course I ordered a chesseburger and some chesse fries.

Now CW all I need for desert is a soft pretzel. Oh by the way my ice cream shop opened up today Ritas and guess what they sell becides ice cream, soft pretzels!!! I can't wait!! [:D][(-D]

Can you belive it I've only been in college for three days now since Spring Break and I'm already being hit with projects for both Bussiness Management 115, and for Technical Writing? I hate Tech Writing, and I thought I was done when I graduated high school 1 year & 1/2 ago. Grrrrrrrrrrr. To top it off I have a test to take next Monday in Direct Diesel Injection for my Fuel Systems and Emissions class.

Oh because I'm in a Fuel and Emissions class I'll be receiving my Pennsylvania State Inspection Licence for both Safety and Emissions on for gasoline and diesel vehicles.

Ok what is this I hear about snow??? Please send it to Philadelphia PA.

Went Greek tonight for Athena--I mean, Ellen--'s birthday. Interesting foods, great dessert, loving daughter and granddaughter (and son-in-law, of course). Now I can barely stay awake.

Tomorrow is the annual conference for the Center for Railroad Photography & Art. This year the conference is at Marquette University in Milwaukee and is in conjunction with an on going display of the paintings and photographs of the late Ted Rose.

I will be there for the day, so will be taking lunch at the Wisconsin Club rather than the Depot Diner. I'll be back at least lurking around the Diner on Sunday.

[cherokee woman]

Joe, thanks for making the coffee, and juice. You are always such a good helper here
in the Diner. And thank you for vacumming up the cake crumbs.

Saturday brunch is now ready: turkey bacon, sausage patties, sausage gravy,
biscuits, and southwestern style hash browns are on the warmer bar. Everything's
ready for you all to help yourselves.

Will spend the day making up the pizzas for tonight's pizza fest. Then, around
five o'clock, all I'll have to do is start putting them in the oven, and setting them out
on the warmer bar.

Still haven't seen copcarss around. Sure hope he's all right.

Everyone have a great day, and see you back in here tonight.

Joe are you saying the kitty was a little messy? [:0] Shirly not. <Don't call me Shirly [:o)] > I think it must have been one of them "lurkers" who noticed our regular feline was not in her normal spot and decided to take advantage of it. [;)] We all know our Mookie would NEVER leave a mess like that. [8)]

The sun is out today and that makes for a nice welcome for some of my railfaning friends from Chicago who are suspose to be here around 2. I am going to give them a tour of our yard. [:)]

A few more of my Hostas are up. I am a little concerned that some may have died at the last of summer. [:(] The snail, slugs, and drought were very hard on them even tho they were in the shade. The snail bait didn't seem to do much good last year either. [V]

Well I am trying to get a little house work done before work. So I must be off now.

Everyone Take Care [8D]

Just poking my head in to say "Hi." Things are picking up at work with the snow gone and the temps up in the 40's. Had to take the past two days off. Had both my right and left lower first bicuspids pulled to make room for when the braces go on the lower teeth so I am on soft food and liquids for a couple more days. No pain in the mouth but my body is not reacting well to the anesthesia but slowly progressing. I will stop in when I can.

[tree68]

Jim - You need to use cheap beer (no sense wasting the good stuff.[:D]), but for snails, I've heard of putting jar lids down and filling them with beer...

Nice day here today - might have to defer some indoor duties to enjoy the great outdoors. Tomorrow will definitely be outside - I'm working on a story series to submit to our local paper about the newest class of recruit volunteer firefighters. Planning on a 4 story set. They'll be outside drilling in their gear, so I'll have some good photo ops and probably time to interview several of them for story focus. They haven't said that they will use them, but I'm hoping. We want to get the word out that these folks are putting forth the effort, and that we need more.

I'll be in for pizza later!

Methinks we need to put some sort of throw rug under the hammock. Then we can just take it outside and shake it out....

[JoeKoh]

just got back from doing a mower-ectomy. placed old motor into new mower deck.now ready for the yard for later.
larry one of our local vfds had to respond to the maumee and western rr.seem the locomotive caught fire. dont know how serious the damage was.will be back later for pizza.
stay safe

[Junctionfan]

Yeah!!!!!!!! The strike is over-I go back to the college tomarrow. At 1:30pm, a friend of mine who is running for Niagara Falls City Council, and myself are going to meet the owners of CHIN-TV and an Italian Senator. The Italian Ambassador to Canada MIGHT be there-if he is, I'll likely meet him too.

As member of the board of directors for the college student council, I have to figure out how to grow our revenues and start developing reserves because we have a minor fiscal problem and so it has resulted in some losses due to the strike so, I have to look at the books and discuss economic strategies with the General Manager to see what can be done. I also plan on having a meeting with the President of the College to see what kind of funding is planned on improved transit services for students.

As far as school work goes, the year is almost done and we have only done maybe 50% of all tests.....................that is going to suck big time..............LOL.

[Modelcar]

....Joe, I too was on mower detail today. Not quite as extensive as your work....Purchased a new spark plug for my LX-176 John Deere but it will get some more next week....all new tires. Mowing season is coming on fast....Yard has been fertilized and I expect by end of this coming week I will have to start.

[JoeKoh]

fertilized? my grass grows fast enough as it is.but what will be nice is that I wont have to mow around so many trees this year.they are now firewood for the firepit at deshler.hey matts ready for some pizza with pineapple pepporoni mushrooms and sausage.
stay safe
Joe

[Modelcar]

...Yea, it makes it so nice and dark green and no dandelion flowers, etc.....

[cherokee woman]

Okay everyone: the pizzas are baked, sliced, and on the warmer bar.

Let the pizza fest begin!!

[railfan619]

Hey everyone how is we all doin today fine and dandy I hope well it's finally saturday which is a very good thing cause. It's been a very long week for me but now it's over but anywho hope everyone has a good weekend and I will be talkin to you all soon.

[rvos1979]

Afternoon/evening everyone.....

Just another lazy afternoon here in the Mad City, just got done watching a marathon of CMT's Trick My Truck, pretty cool what you can do to a semi tractor nowadays.

Had to work overtime yesterday, at least we're moving along at a good clip on the UPS trailers (300 down 2100 left!!). Also got our newer tire machine back, though it's only half-fixed. Apparently, when reassembling the machine, maintainence did not notice that the shaft was worn, and the new seals installed are already leaking after a day of use.[sigh][sigh]

Joe and Modelcar, my dad traded in for a newer mower last fall, found out he needs six rounds to be able to turn it around. Forgot to mention this mower is three feet wider than the last one, and uses one John Deere 4020 diesel tractor as a power unit (mower is a John Deere 1600 MoCo with a twelve foot cut!!). I hope the hay is good this year, was a bit dry last summer. We fertilize too every spring, but the neighbors always complain about the smell.[#dots]

Thanks for the pizza CW, will be in later for a snack.

Randy

[CSXrules4eva]

CW I think, no excuse me I will take a large extra chesse pizza please. This is really something that I need because, I haven't eaten (sp?) anything all day. So yum.yum..gimme.some... lol.

Well, I think I'm going to watch this movie later on called a History of Violence. I've seen it before, but since it just came out on DVD I figured that I might as well see it again since it was such a good movie.

Um............Snow Senders: Why haven't I seen any snow yet over in Philadelphia, PA? We received rain today instead of snow. BOOOOOOOOOO [tdn]

[Modelcar]

Randy....Your talking about field mowers....LARGE...here, I'm dealing with a lawn tractor and it's been a good one. Believe my turning radius is about 20"...!

And Joe, no surprise here in fertlizing....Many neighboring lawns are treated....4 and 5 times a season. You're correct, it makes them grow. Must mow about every 3 days in springtime if growing weather is normal....

Heck, I've gotta mow every three days in the spring even if I don't fertilize. And speaking of fertilizer, as anyone who lives in farm country can tell you, you haven't lived until you're downwind of a field that has just been spread with liquid manure. You also have no idea of how long you can hold your breath...[xx(]

Thanks for the Pizza and I saw the Maerask Sealand Unit today while Fanning.
