Morning all!  Joe sounds like things should start to look up a bit for your mom.  I hope that's the case!  CW I'll take some bacon, eggs, and sausage.  Glass of OJ, too.  Please give my fries to Matt!  Brian (IA) I can't wait to see your photos.  They should be great.  Glad Cajon Pass wasn't too spicy for you!  Wink [;)]

All righty, since I figured NO ONE would give me any lunch and or supper suggestions,
I have the following go on the range/stove for today:

1.  beef vegetable soup w/cornbread
2.  mild and firehouse hot chili
3.  leftover pizza pasta salad &
4.  leftover lasanga & garlic bread

Sure hope this menu meets with everyone's approval.

Allright, drop the new issue of Trains and get in here for something to eat.  The cook has been working hard all day and nobody has come by.  (Torn between 1 and 4, I'll make up my mind soon.)

A number 1 will work for me this evening.

CW, for all your hard work you are sure entitled to take some vacation time.  The problem would be that us fairly helpless in the kitchen regulars would probably get very hungry.  It would serve us right.  Wink [;)]

I'll have a number 1, too.

Headed for the railroad tomorrow - but will be taking in our "Paddle and Rail" offering - a ride down the river in a kayak, then back up on the train.  Figured that if I'm trying to "sell" it to people riding the train, I should know what I'm talking about.  Looks to be fun, if a tad cool.  It's not a bad ride, though, and I don't figure to get wet unintentionally....

The rest of the weekend will be on the railroad, too.  I figure it's the end of the traditional summer season and it'll probably be busy.

I won't make a mess for you then.  Here, let me get the rest of the dishes and get the coffee ready to be turned on in the morning.  I'll even set the box of donuts on the rack.  With that, I'm off to bed!  See you all "auf der morgen!"

Morning everyone.....

I've been in, I just haven't had anything to write up lately.  I've just been in the corner, having a meal and reading the paper.

Not too much new around the Mad City, Looks like the State Street Halloween bash might have some competition on a different street.  I'd just stay clear of the entire city on Halloween weekend, the city just might self-destruct.Whistling [:-^]

We are down to the last 110 FedEx trailers at work, should be done with these in two weeks or so.  After this the entire plant switches to building UPS trailers for a while.

Thanks for the food, CW, I grabbed a little bit of everything, was good, now off to bed.  Going back home to the parents for this weekend, might offend a few people in the process.  Cousin is having a wedding reception in a few weeks, I don't think I will attend, due to fuel costs, and I'm just not in the mood.

Okay,coffee,O.J. are out,along with the usual assortments of cold cereal and I believe
there should be some donuts out that somebody brought in late yesterday evening.
Plus there's also an assortment of different flavored bagels for those that want them.

For those that want a "traditional" hot breakfast,I think you're on your own this morning;
not sure when CW's coming in,or if she is at all. (needs some time off!)

Mookie,come back in here;your "oversized" cup is FULl,sitting by the hammock,along
with a kibble flavored bagel!!

Morning All,

Mutt, tell CW that she's got some willing souls ready to play cook every now and again if she needs a day off. Joe sounds like he's got lunch, so I'll work on a supper menu, and post it a little later.

Meanwhile, the weekend approaches! I've got a cousin headed in from IL that's meeting me out here. The weekend involves trips to the Loop (assuming they're running), the C&TS, and the San Luis Express over La Veta Pass. Should be a good weekend!

Anyways, I should be headed to work for now (not to the weekend yet). Hope you all have a great day! TTFN!

A guy walks in to the DD&CS...but nobody's home!  Looks like Mutt, Joe, and CopCar have things well in hand.  I'll just snag an OJ and a donut and be on my way for now.  Got a 11 hour shift today.  Be back after dinner!

Bagel w/kibble ran out.  So opened lots of cans of tuna, sardines, salmon.....

Tipped over a jar of mayo, bit open a loaf of bread (sorry about the bite marks on some of the bread)

Now the hard part - had to stick paw in mayo and mix it with above.  But it is ok - I washed my paws - extra well!  Got all the kitty litter out from between the toes.  Hope I can now get the mayo out of the same place.  But cleaning the extra off - I am now full and don't need more lunch. 

Enjoy!

I did.

<Cleans up Breakfast Remains from Kitty>

Alright, well I got the grill fired up for Joe, so we should have some wienies going pretty soon here.

In honor of the final week of pre-season football games tonight, the supper menu for tonight is as follows:

Ceasar Salad topped with your choice of grilled chicken or steak.

Chipped Beef topped with melted Velveeta Cheese on a Hoagie Bun.

~or~

Extra Hot Dogs from Lunch Sliced and Diced and added to some Bush's Maple Cured Beans

Sides are:

Your Choice of Chips: Regular, Sour Cream and Onion, Salt and Vinegar, Barbeque or Baked.

Cole Slaw

Potato Salad

and for Dessert:

Chocolate Cake

Ice Cream (Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry or Moose Tracks)

and (for the cook, but he'll share) some Cheesecake covered in fresh Raspberries.

I'm taking orders now.
