Kevin,Sign - Welcome [#welcome] back!! Try to stay around for awhile,if you can.Big Smile [:D]
We do have a new couch,but........kinda like to keep it that way.Mischief [:-,]Laugh [(-D]

Jay,you're correct about how NICE the patio is;if we had eaten on ours here
at the house tonight,we'd have been "washed away"!! Came down like the
proverbial "cats & dogs" for awhile. Several parts our our area are dealing
with downed trees,power lines,etc. & flash flooding from this round. At least
this one missed us,we're still a bit "gun shy" from previous encounters.

My apologies for the small type size in the previous post!
I was supposed to be larger,even showed larger on preview,
then came out that small,and would not let me edit it!!
I'm some what seeing impaired and it's to small for me,let alone
anyone else that really has trouble reading small print.

//Taps a TALL fruit punch Gatorade//

Whew, another warm one here today, got up to 87 in Madison, and was fairly humid.  Was really nasty at work, so we just hurried up and got done by 9 tonight.

Great dinner out on the balcony, CW, was nice to relax after work.

See everyone later.

Morning All  (Early Morning That Is   Wink [;)]  )

Welcome Back Kevin,  we have your normal place on the couch all ready for you.   Clown [:o)]   I guess your email is still not working as you have not emailed me lately.   Sad [:(]  

I can definately deal with the gatoraid.  I have never heard of the other though.  Blush [:I]   I guess we can buy some beer mugs and serve them frosted.   Smile [:)]   I love my milk served in a frosted mug.  

Well I am going to tip toe to the walk in and crab a piece of that Mississippi Mud Ice Cream Pie.  Mmmmmmmmm good.   Laugh [(-D]

Good Night, sleep tight.

I've been told to park the bike for today, and probably tomorrow.  Not happy about that, but the Rescue Squad is out of commission.

I don't know that other numeric language.

They should be moving UP 1995 downtown in an hour or so.

Still missing.

Joe, thanks for getting the coffee ready, and making the juice and lemonade!  Looks like today's going
to be another scorcher!!  The guy has shown up to cut our grass.  Gonna have to watch going outdoors,
because I don't want to be sneezing all day.  Blasted allergies.

Anyway, Saturday brunch is now ready:  bacon, eggs, sausage, sausage gravy, biscuits, pancakes w/
your choice of toppings, grits.  This will be on the warmer/buffet bar until 2 p.m. 

Any special requests for our SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST??

Everyone have a great day, stay as cool as possible, be safe, and see ya in a little while.

Morning all.....

Just got out of the cooler, all the Gatorade and Squincher tanks are topped off, should be good for the day.  Jim, I'm not sure who bottles Squincher, I think they're an independent, but we had the stuff when I worked for the WSOR, and Stoughton Trailers buys the stuff by the pallet load.  The orange tastes a lot better than Gatorade's orange, they also have lemon-lime and fruit punch, all are on tap here.

Be in later for pizza.

Good Day All (Unless you're one of those upside down folks, in which case I suppose it would be Good Night),

Well, I certainly think the Gatorade on tap is a wonderful idea. It was absolutely atrocious last night. I don't have A/C at the house, only a small single room swamp cooler. Alas! it was not able to handle the cooling duties sufficiently last night. Didn't fall soundly asleep until about 2 or 3 in the morning!

Thankfully I'll be performing housesitting duties the next week or so. The place I'm staying has the most wonderfully cold basement in the Denver Metro area, so I'm looking forward to that!

Jay, always have a camera on me (though occasionally I'll bring an odd-ball out, like my Soviet Fed 3b Rangefinder). Let me at that moonrise!

Mutt, you mean to say it was raining Mookies and Locomutts at your place? That must've been quite the site!

Kevin, good to see you made it back here despite the problems. I'm not quite sure all the bugs have been worked out of the new system yet, but Bergie does seem to be making some good progress. Hopefully you'll have better luck with future trips to the DD&CS.

Well, I must be off to deliver some friends (the ones with the lovely frigid basement) out to DIA. Hope you all have a great weekend. Stay cool!

As just a humble new guy lookin' for a counter stool, would Hawaiian Pizza (ham and pineapple) be too much to ask. It heats up well on the sidewalls too...

I'll put an order in for Supreme as usual- doing my best to stay cool here, 96.5 degrees outside at the moment.  Occasionally I do go out back on the deck to work on sanding down our large picnic table to prepare it for repainting, but I don't stay out there for very long.

1.  supreme
2.  hawaiian
3.  double cheese
4.  sausage/pepperoni/mushroom

Think I'm going to find myself a half gallon Mason or Ball jar, and fill it with ice and lemonade!!

Supper menu will be ready at 7 p.m. sharp.

Quentin,we didn't get quite that "Warm" today;our high was
91 degrees. Like you said, the humidity is a killer,that,along with
the other things they measure,made the "heat index" right at 100!

Joe,you're very right,it is too hot to eat;a much better time is
definitely after the sun goes down!!Smile [:)]

We just ate in a cool place that we drove to in our cool car (don't laugh, Sarah--I was referring to how well the AC works), after which we went to a cool yard to see a way-cool locomotive:  the CNW heritage unit.

Got up to 98 locally; don't know what the official high was.  Three digits expected tomorrow; I'm under orders to move away from the bicycle.

Still missing.

Everyone is in luck:  I just now took the pizzas out of the oven.  And I forgot to put one on the list:
there is also an extra large goetta pizza, along with the others.

Joe, think I'll take another half gallon of lemonade!!

Would a cake with such a name be safe for a certain feline member known to frequent this diner?

Meanwhile, we got in and around the triple digit area like everyone else, albeit without the humidity. Still, the dry air isn't all it's cracked up to be. One must be really careful about dehydration in the drier climates (the body deals with the heat better because it's cooling itself by evaporating sweat...of course this requires that the waters and salts that compose sweat need to be replenished as quickly as one loses them). Hence, in addition to a chocolate loving kitty, we have a chicken with an IV of gatorade hanging out at the DD&CS.

Well, I think I'll try some of the Hawaiian Pizza. Always been a fan of that.

Hope you all have a great evening!

TTFN!

Well, it's cetainlly been a while since, I've been in here. Things are starting to shape up here Big Smile [:D] ?// ?Nice, well I see we are still having our pizza fest in the "new DD & CS. Wow this is the first one since the changes.  So...

CW I think I will take one large extra chesse pizza with a sprite pretty please. Smile [:)].

Tree, sorry I'm getting back to your question a bit late but, yes I do agree with you, the Struckaa Viaduct is a work of art, truely. It also was built in less than a year, back in 1850. 

Unfortunitly, I don't think your going to catch any trains over it anytime soon because, Norfolk Southern sold it and the line, to a regional line. I don't know if they are useing it or not now, but to see a train over the Struckaa is very, very, very rare. I wish in that pic I took of the Viaduct that I had caught a train in action going over it, but.......................OH WELL.

James, according to a website I just looked up, 100ºF works out to be 37.8ºC.  Getting just a little toasty.

BTW, as far as the menu is concerned, I'm sure CW would be happy to serve you a pizza upside down! Tongue [:P]
