Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

....Well I just touched the wrong key and lost a whole listing of what happened last night....so we'll quickly do some of it again: First off, thanks Jen for concern....We're fine. It was nasty, nasty dangerous stuff. 82 mph winds recorded down in Indianapolis and it ripped open a high rise up at the 25 to 35 or so story level...Building is totally closed now. We dodged a bullet here. Jean and I had made our plan "A" ready...{the strongest location in the house}, but we got lucky and didn't get hit with the extreme....Don't really know how much damage has been done around our state but it has to be considerable.....We're even under a tornado WARNING right now for the next hour...Wind is rather brisk, It was mostly clear several hours ago. A warning means a tornado HAS been spotted in the area somewhere. But we're fine. Hope everyone of the diner customers on here is likewise....

[germanium]

Sadly, we can't say that of everyone - the current report on Yahoo news quotes "23 dead".

[cherokee woman]

Looks like we're still waiting to hear from JHH and Carl. Sure hope they are
both doing all right, after the storms last night.

Adding something new to the menu today for lunch: Sausage and tomato rigatoni,
and a Beef noodle dish, that is an Asian dish. I know several people here who like
broccoli, will like this Asian dish. It also has beef sirloin steak strips in it.

Dessert today will be Easy Oreo Cheesecake.

[Mookie]

Brother Carl is off work today - and absent from the forum and e-mail. CW you will have to get hold of Jim and check that he is ok.

So unless BC fell off his bike, I am going to hazard a guess and say he is ok.

Quentin - I saw Indianapolis with bad weather heading toward there on the weather map and then Muncie not that far away. But of course, they had to do their prime time whatever and I had to go to bed. So didn't get to see what happened after that! Glad you and Jean are ok.

Gonna be a l-o-n-g spring kiddies!

I got an e-mail from Jim last night, so he must be alright.

Afternoon all.......

No wild weather here in the Mad City, just wild traffic, the city closed the main drag out through the east side of Madison for the weekend to change out a railroad crossing. Went down there this weekend to watch the fun, and got my taxes done at the same time (the H&R Block next to the tracks was dead). Was pretty cool watching them do thermite welds and installing the concrete panels, never knew they used rubber mats under the panels.

I'll take a plate of the rigatoni for work tonight, CW, sounds good for a Monday.

Wonder what Chris (CopCarSS) is up to??

Randy, got plenty of the rigatoni, so you've got a take-out container in the fridge
with your name on it. And that will leave plenty of the rigatoni and the Asian
dish for supper tonight.

Wondering about Chris (copcarss also. Even emailed him to see if he's o.k.,
haven't heard from him yet.

[tree68]

Looks like we're in it for the 'good' weather tonight. The line has already generated tornado watches in western PA (Nora?!?), and since is relatively warm and humid, it could be an interesting evening...

Better get some supper in me before the fun begins. That rigatoni will the spot... [dinner]

[CSXrules4eva]

Hold it what is this I'm hearing about tornado watches in Western PA?? I wasn't awere that PA received any tornado warnings. Well, I shouldn't say that because one ripped through Philadelphia in 1972, I wasn't born then, unfortunately. Well, Nora Stay Safe.

Weather over here in southeastern PA, is kind of interesting. It is drizzeling over here, and is pouring in some areas. It isn't no were near as bad as what others received like the Ohio Valley, though. I would like to see a good sized thunderstorm. I haven't seen one in a long while and would like to go watch my river rise.

CW can I have a cinnimon roll for desert tonight? I missed the breakfast cinnimon rolls yesterday morning. [:(]

[cherokee woman]

Sarah, along with the other dessert for tonight, I've just taken some cinnamon rolls
out of the oven for tonight. So have a few, if you so desire. Anyone else who wants
some cinnamon rolls are more than welcome to help yourselves, also.

It is very cloudy and overcast here this afternoon. Our current outside temp is 49
degrees, and the wind is very brisk. Low tonight/in the morning is to be in the mid
30s. Guess we're going into Dogwood Winter, as the old timers would say.

[Anonymous]

Well in my place in the Chicago Area we only had rain and nothing spotted in our area for Tornatos just a ton of Hail, everythings fine returned yesterday from Galesburg, Silvis and Rochelle I will provide a link to the album once I am done upload all of them.

[Modelcar]

....And now we're in for 2 days of rather nice weather. So that means lawn mowing tomorrow and maybe out to the trail with granddaughter on the next day.....
Questionable weather returning Thur. evening and maybe Friday.

[mudchicken]

...a couple of shovels full of rigatoni please.

Going north tomorrow and will check on Chris if I get the chance. Yesterday they had a 1300 Acre range fire at Rocky Flats in between us. Maybe he was at baseball opening day or he is just letting the smoke out.

[cherokee woman]

Good Tuesday morning everyone! Rather chilly this morning, so I've fixed a
big hot breakfast that includes, turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits & sausage
gravy, fried taters, scrambled eggs; or, you can have a nice hot bowl of oat-
meal.

Hope everyone has a great day today, and I'll be back in after Produce Day
is over. Let's hope I get us some goood veggies.

Hmmm - what's in this bowl? ` ` ` ` - oh yuck....salsa! Must remember to put that in Mutt's bowl. [}:)] Sugar, no, iced tea, too early, ah - let's see - oatmeal, raisins - two bacon strips - HA - instant Easter Bunny! And his eggs are scrambled already!

[Mookie]

Flakes in the air, temp is about 34, but nothing is sticking.

This daylight savings time is killing me this week. Getting out of bed just was not an option this morning (it was a necessity, however).

[blhanel]

No kidding. I will be enjoying the longer evening hours, though, when the weather cooperates. Picked up my bicycle last night, can't wait to start racking up the miles on the new odometer.

Not sure about the salsa this early in the morning,but "Hot Sauce" on
the scrambled eggs sounds great !! [:p]

Now what's this about "Big Bird" ?? You been watching
"Sesame Street" again ??[:-,]

[Modelcar]

...Frost on the grass here in Muncie this morning...About 33 degrees around 7. Sunshine is shining bright and I'm waiting for it to dry off so my next mowing can be done....Must do it today or it will get ahead of my {mulching}, mower...Don't want that. Sunshine and fertlizer = fast growing. But makes it nice.
Will try to take granddaughter out to the trail..{downtown Muncie}, tomorrow after she and wife tend to deals with their hair dresser today.....Must air up bike tires....We are blessed with one of the best trails in a wide area here....Ex. CSX ROW. My Bio picture was snapped at our Muncie Trail Head several years ago....

[cherokee woman]

Got some good things at Produce today: cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and some
bags of southwest style hash browns.

Lunch today: boiled cabbage, corned beef, and cornbread.

Dessert for today: chocolate fudge layer cake. Have plenty of vanilla ice cream
to go on top of the cake.

Morning All

Sorry but I have been pretty busy and very tired lately. [:(]

The bad weather was mostly northeast of me but we did get very heavy rain and an extremely active display of lighting. Sunday I noticed that while the weather was northeast of us we had clear skies and the stars were out. About 8 pm I noticed the stars were "gone". I went in and told the guys that I thought the storm and rain was moving "in" and they said it was. [:0]

When I got off at 10 pm it was a "frog strangler" and driving was dangerous. My windshield wipers on high could not keep up. [8] [:(!] And people were passing me, them idiots.

Just about a 30 minute drive north of me they had 4 and 5 inch hail. They showed it on the news. It was simply amazing and the damage it caused was amazing also. If you ever have gotten "nailed" by marble sized hail you know it hurts, I would imagine that 4 or 5 inch hail could kill you if it hit you in the head.

Zach emailed me a link showing about 2 1/2 minutes of a tornado near him. Here is the link if anyone is interested.

Well as usual I have more to do than I can every get done but I must at least start on something. [B)]

Everyone Take Care

[Mookie]

Kind of humbles you doesn't it!

[blhanel]

Glad to hear you're OK, Jim.

Hmmm... I'll skip the lunch, just bring me some of that dessert (if Mookie left any).

[Mookie]

Brian - just overlook all the fur on the frosting. Think of it as "decoration". Trust me, it won't hurt you if you swallow it...........

Hmmmm; Would that be like one of the scenes in the "Funniest Cats" video ?? [}:)]

[Mookie]

I think at one time or another - I have been through all those scenes!

Hello All

Sarah, I will take them rolls anytime of the day, with a nice large (frosted) glass of milk. [:p]

So far today I have unloaded, loaded, and ran the dishwasher, loaded the clothes washer and ran it, now the clothes are in the dryer, and have mowed the front lawn. I had lunch in there somewhere. Now on tap for this afternoon: doing some pick up work in the back yard, mowing it, putting out snail/slug bait, and tending to weeds in the Hosta garden. So far only about half of my Hostas have come up. [:0] [B)] [:(] I am hopeful that in the next few days at least 3 or 4 more will come up. PLEASE. The snails/slugs are already munching on the ones that are up. [:(!] [:(!] [:(!]

I have sprayed twice for the wasps/bees that are in the paneling by the front door. They must not come out unit it is at least 75 as I really have not seen them. However there are a variety of other wasps flying around. I killed one this afternoon on the front porch, but he was not the same variety as in the paneling.

We have reached our report high for the day at 72. So it probally will make 75 since it is only about 2 pm.

Well back to the yard work. I need about 3 of me to even make a dent in all the yard and house work I need to do. [:(]
