Oh, Sarah, the things you'll have to look forward to when you become a railroader--payday will be only twice a month, and you'll have to scrutinize your earnings very closely to make sure you received what you earn! Having things "cut" will become a way of life. [sigh]

Good Friday morning everyone!! Carl, glad to see you've been back in!

Coffee is on and ready to pour, and I've got the orange juice ready.

Breakfast this morning: your choice of muffins or doughnuts. We've got
blueberry muffins, plain doughnuts, chocolate covered doughnuts,
chocolate covered, cream filled doughnuts, and doughnuts with raspberry
filling.

Going to be a little bit warmer today, but humidity will still be down a little bit.
That will make for a nice day.

Everyone take care, and have a safe day.

Ooooo! Blueberry muffins! And a tea on the side, please.

Tomorrow's special treat: French Pastries. Napoleons, turnovers, puffs, creme horns. It's time for the annual French Festival in beautiful Cape Vincent, NY. Ten thousand people, probably as many pastries, flea markets, music, entertainment, huge parade.

I'll be pedalling my *** around town on EMS bike patrol. It's supposed to be a beautiful sunny day, so I expect some business.

Gotten some flak both here and off site on the titled Tree.

We have Sir Chicken and now Chief Tree with his faithful dog companion "Handel"

That just took too much out of me. I am taking a blueberry muffin and heading for the hammock. Maybe find an ankle on the way....

And a Tip Top of the Morning to You All,

Went out and filled in on the company softball team since they were short a few players last night. Went 2 for 4 at bat, and scored both times. Unfortunately I didn't do as well in the field. Been awhile since I've been out chasing fly balls!

Have to finish some house plans I'm working on, so I'll catch you all later.

TTFN!

Funny thing was...nobody but me and the bartender knew who he was! Oh well. Gotta put more time in at the Y today bringing the total to 56 hrs this week. I'll be back for dinner tonite!

Let them eat cake. [:D] [:o)] [:D] [:o)] [:D]


I can't believe I beat everyone to that line. [;)] [:p]

How is everyone this fine day? [:)]

It is Tuesday/Friday. [B)] Carl mentioned about getting paid only twice a month, but he forgot to say anything about the crazy mixed up schedule we can get. On the railroad it is always someones Friday no matter what day of the week it really is. [B)] Thankfully on the mechanical side our contracts state that we will get two days off (but employees frequently do work one of them for overtime pay) and those two days will be together. So our Saturday and Sunday may be any days of the week. [8]

Mookie, if you got the TV, PUT IT BACK ! ! ! I was only kidding. [:o)] I really would not want you to get in trouble over it. (You can UPS it to me tho. [;)] )

Well time to go to the grocery store and do some Krogering. [8D]

Everyone Take Care

Brian - very stylish - but there is that little spot just under the knee....(gotta get up on this chair for a better angle)

Jim - It would take 2 men and a small boy to tote that tv. I can't imagine any tv show I want to see in life-size! I think the landlord has it locked up next door - but "I know nothing.....nothing at all".....

CW - will take a fish - (at least I don't have to fish it out of the bowl - ) - Cod would be nice and a pecan pie along with Jim's cake he is handing out....

Moo...

Mark,

It'll take several more posts for page 738 to show up on the main page.

Guess I'll go ahead and post the supper menu now. For supper tonight,
we'll have shrimp, along with fries. And there's plenty of desserts from
the lunch menu for tonight.

Good Saturday morning, everyone. Looks like it's going to be another great day, so you all take care when
you're out doing whatever you have to do today! Want to be sure you all make it safely back in here tonight
for our Saturday Pizza Fest!

Saturday brunch is ready on the steamer/warmer bar: bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, biscuits, scram-
bled eggs (made sure they weren't any of MC's kin). The steamer/warmer bar will be kept well stocked
until about 3 p.m. EDT.

Mmmm, breakfast sounds and smells good. I need a good one before I hit the road here- gotta move our daughter up to Dubuque. Picked up a HUGE rental van last night and have it loaded to the roof, but will still have to make two trips. TTYAL!

Well is it Wednesday/Saturday, my hump day. One of these days maybe I will get a bid in job with Friday actually being Friday. [^] I look forward to that day.

Nothing much to report today. Our weather will be in the low 90s and we seem to have lost our nice breeze from the last few days. [:(]

I have turned over a new leaf. I am making myself do at least 15 minutes of housework BEFORE I can get on the computer each day. [:0] This morning I unloaded the dishwasher and loaded it, then ran it. Every little bit I do like that before my days off gives me more time to do more meaningful cleaning on my days off.

Well time to get ready for work.

Randy- should be here in Denver. The schedule says I got volunteered to inspect a construction project in downtown Denver for a couple hours a day the next two weeks. If you get here after Tuesday, it should be dry and back in the '90's.
