Elvis's PB and banana omelette sounds interesting.I'm usually not one to try new food, but this sounds like it might be good[8D].

Miniwyo - Driver likes to go to the Laramie area to flyfish. The group goes to Centennial, a true small town! I spent a few days there while they fished. I was so relaxed, they had to baggie me to get me in the car! Very nice!

Mookie - Is the fishing pretty good down there?? Just wondering as i am tranferring to the University of Wyoming down there next August and would like to wet a hook somewhere new! Aslo, Is there any good train watching down there?? That was the last thing on my list too think of when I was down there this summer. :)
Fishing seemed to be better this year ( I wasn't there!) than in the past, since they finally got some rain. They wouldn't let me train watch, but I know the UP is around there somewhere. I couldn't get my head out of the scenery long enough to really go hunt. Still want to get to North Platte - which should be fairly close to you. Hear there is great train watching there!

Everything looks good so far. No damage. I just saw a Wisc&Southern mixed freight from my front door. The tracks are behind my neighbors house (across the street) and in the woods.

Okay, Belgin waffles it is, folks. Got a waffle iron right here. Promise I
won't hit ANYONE upside the head with it, either.

Going to have plenty of hot things to eat today:

Breakfast, along with the waffles, is the usual fare.

Dinner (lunch) and supper will be:

Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, shellie beans, and corn on the cob.

I'm disappointed, though, that I did not see any guesses as to what
I'd be fixing today[V]

Gee - warm spell! Down to -4 here last night...

Belgian waffles do sound good. See them at "continental" breakfasts at some hotels - make your own.

^~^ - warming up! It was 15 yesterday morning, in the 20's today - with a south wind! That part hurts!

Miniwyo - Driver likes to go to the Laramie area to flyfish. The group goes to Centennial, a true small town! I spent a few days there while they fished. I was so relaxed, they had to baggie me to get me in the car! Very nice!

Two new breakfast items - I won't eat either, but....no accounting for taste. Elvis liked Peanut Butter and Banana Omelets (ugh) and Monte Cristo - you know deep-fried french toast and strawberry whatever. Even had an order for a chocolate chip waffle with chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup. (Barf!) Didn't stay to see if syrup went over the whole mess, either!

Should look into Belgian waffles - that was all the craze a few years ago. We could get a waffle iron that would imprint a steam engine into the waffle....OK - looks like time for a nap. Getting a little bizarre....

Youre kidding right? It has been cold the past month, we finally got a break the past week and it still barley made it to 50. Its fixing ot get cold again though. We had a whole week here where the temperature didnt get above 15. But I could go for somthing warm to eat as well. Always glad to have a great meal here, sure beats those Ramen noodles and Toaster Waffles that us college students live off of. Oh By the way thanks to everyone who runs this place!! You do a great job!!!

I hope you're hanging on to that rocking chair for a while. I had a paramedic say to me, "It's a b**ch getting old, isn't it?" once--that was nearly ten years ago. I have more confidence in the ol' ticker now than I did then! Unless it's bitterly cold, I'm going to be out on that bike tomorrow!

CW, the hot dog was great--tasted just like the ones we get at Portillo's here!

Mike, I'll have to see if we have any ribs left in the freezer from last week
when I fixed them for Carl. But we do have some beef stew left from
yesterday. Always good warmed up the next day.

Will have something real good for you all tomorrow for lunch and
supper. I'll let you all guess now what I'm fixing for tomorrow!!

Can I request something good and warm that'll stick to my ribs for dinner?
I need something that'll keep me warm.
Must've been Mookie that sent that cold Nebraska weather over . Probably shipped it on the BNSF. [:p] At least the wind has died down.

Um, now that I think of it how about ribs for dinner? Beef or pork , that is, not mine.

Good question Larry. Maybe the cat feels that it has to get the human's
scent off it's body, and that's why it rewashes itself.

It would seem that certain cats have to have their fur "precisely" in the
place they want it. They never seem to like the way we humans do it.[:D]

Having discussed washing (and drying) cats, and now cats washing themselves, I recall one of the great mysteries of our time - why does a cat that just had a bath have to spend the next several hours washing itself?????

Morning everyone! How is everyone today? Did everyone get their eyes
opened after stepping out into the COLD AIR this
morning?

Got a nice and hot breakfast for everyone this morning. We have
oatmeal and toast, turkey bacon, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy,
and fried potatoes for Matt. Take your pick from the menu, and I'll take
your orders and serve it up. Oh yeah, also have cream of wheat and
grits, too.[V]

And in case you are wondering - BNSF is running well! Even in 8* weather! Ran all night long! It was wonderful!
