Now your taste buds might return![zzz]

I bet TREE68 never simulated that in HO scale![:D].

My sister swears by Peeps over the campfire. Even better than regular marshmallows...

Peeps are the most popular candy in this building. I always keep a candy dish on my desk - no - I don't paw it - and at Easter, the peeps disappear like.....magic.

But I don't discriminate - I do both the chickens and the rabbits. They are just pure sugar and my teeth hurt just talking/typing about them.....[tdn]

Good morning everyone. Well, we have a chance of getting some snow
tonight. Not supposed to be more more than a dusting though.
We'll see in the morning, I guess.

Breakfast will be all the usual items this morning.

Everyone have a good day, and be safe out there today.

Now Tom, you KNOW there's ALWAYS cold chocolate around here! Along
with ANY kind of chocolate. Don't think some of us could live if we
didn't have chocolate. Hmmmmm, Easter's coming up: THAT means
chocolate bunnies, chocolate shaped eggs. Goodie!!

It's Fire Department Banquet Season - Baked ham and scalloped potatoes mixed in with a lot of camaradarie tonight.

I also got a new "job" - refurbing the simulator. It's all HO, so should be interesting...

I'm not in the picture, because I took it. They are in the middle of a simulation.


Cool, who gets to wear the rubber Godzilla suit first[?]
