I am indeed very sick. The doctor said I have: 1)An upper respiratory infection 2)A sinus infection and 3)An ear infection in the left ear.

Carl - I really don't think I'll be going back to school on Tuesday. Of course that's not an entirely bad thing!

Be back in on Tuesday. For now I'm going to go lie on my death bed!

[CShaveRR]

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Thanks for dropping in and letting us know.  Now get out of here and take it easy!

By all means, come back tomorrow--you'll find a comforting kitten by the hammock, I'm sure!

[cherokee woman]

Willy, sorry to hear exactly how sick you are.  Hope you are feeling better and
back on track, very soon!!  How about I make you some homemade chicken
noodle soup?  Maybe that will soothe your throat.

The grilling has been under way, and there are some steaks, burgers, bratts,
hot dogs, and corn on the cob available right now, so everyone come on and
fill your plates. 

The side dishes are:  potato salad, potato chips, baked beans, cole slaw, and
three kinds of Jell-O salads.  And the prerequisite fries.

Desserts:  chocolate cake, white cake w/white frosting, cherry cheesecake,
chocolate cheesecake, apple pie, and cherry pie.

Everyone enjoy, and Joe, there's about three containers in the fridge with
your name on them, for you to take to work tonight.

Steak, medium well (oh, wait, I'm supposed to be at the grill, aren't I?). 

Corn, Potato Salad, how about next time around we turn out some salt potatoes?

After finishing up the the RR  yesterday, stopped at a co-worker's VFD for their "Steak Bake."  Must be I didn't win the pickup truck, though.  I can still handle steak two days in a row....

Joe - I suspect some of the parents figure that the kids will be 'interested.'  Some are, many aren't.  Of course, some of the parents take part in the process, pointing things out, etc.  Some just sit there and let the kids run rampant.

Willy,am very sorry to hear about about you having all those things!! Get better soon!!
I've had those things myself over the years,and they are not even fun to have!!
Listen to your doctor and take all the prescribed meds!  You won't be on your "death bed",
it only feels like it.

Joe, thanks for letting mudchicken know about the extra supply of dog food and bones
that are around here. mc,they're in the last "walk in" all the way down on the left. If need be,
I imagine Mook will let you have some of her "kibble" also.


MC,Congrats on the new family additions,sounds very good and VERY interesting!
Also not to worry too much,imagine the "cat" will resurface soon!!

Airport of the day -- Denver.  A "Mexican salad" at the Cantina Grille in the B concourse with the so-called HOT sauce (very mild, really) but washed down with two Fat Tire ales not at all bad for airport chow.

Now if we could just get United (the PRR of airlines) to pad their seat backs.

LC; Key Lime Pie is almost always on the Dessert Menu,but if there's a better recipe out there;
the Cook would like to know about it,and WILL definitely include it!!

(Think back into the 70s!!)

Good morning, everyone.  Sorry about getting in here so late this morning, but
I've been inundated with people ringing the doorbell, to sign up for the Produce.

LC, we ocassionally have Key Lime Pie, and I'll  be very glad to accept another
recipe for it!

Today's breakfast is on the warmer bar:  bacon, sausage, sausage gravy with
biscuits, scrambled eggs, toast, oatmeal, bagels and English muffins are on
the menu this morning.

Everyone have a great day, and I'll see you all after I get through with Produce Day.

Morning All,

Had a pretty fascinating weekend. I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get a chance to wade through the roughly 300 shots I took. Look for a "Photo Where Is It" by this evening and a trip report some time this week.

Meanwhile, I had best get to work. Hope you all have a great week!

[Mookie]

Yeow!  Got piles to deal with - more later!

Mook!

[CShaveRR]

Ms. Mooks, you're needed in Sick Bay!

[cherokee woman]

Here's the lunch/dinner and dinner/supper menus for today:

1.  big pot of mild chili (box alarm)
2.  big pot of medium chili (extra equipment)
3.  big pot of "hot"  chili (5 alarm)

There is also grilled cheese sandwiches or PB&J sandwiches to go
with the chili.

Ugh!

If there's any of that chicken noodle soup leftover from yesterday I'll have that for lunch and otherwise I don't have much of an appetite. Sore throat and fever are gone, but now I'm coughing so hard that my ribs hurt. At least my cats, Chessie and Tehachapi, are taking care of me.

Joe - Tell Matt thanks for the kleenex - I need them!

Mook - As Carl says - You are needed today.

[tree68]

We had a cat named "Chessie..."  We also had one called "Traina."

Then there was the nervous mother who called for an ambulance because her child told her the computers at school had a virus and she was afraid her little one had been exposed.....

[CNW 6000]

Howdy all.  Thought I'd pop in here today as it'll probably be one of my last posts for a while.  College is starting back up and I have to get back to "work". 

So I'll quietly snag a Mt. Dew and a cookie and sneak out the back door for a while...it's been fun!

Willy, I forgot to put it on today's menu, but yes, I've got plenty of chicken noodle soup
just for you.  Heating you up a bowl of it right this minute for you.

I am taking two aspirin and going home!  Back tomorrow.

Willy - it is really "allergic" out there right now.  You probably have a sinus infection.  Take the hammock and let CW nurse you back to health.  And don't.....don't.....play with the stingray in the aquarium....

Mooks!

 

 

[JoeKoh]

It's more than just a sinus infection, Mookie. It's three infections, but for the sake of everyone else in the Diner I won't list them again.

The Crocodile Hunter was by no means my "role model", but I do think that it is sad that he died. It's just sad to think that he left behind his wife and two small children.

Anyway, I'll be back in tomorrow afternoon. I have a feeling I'll be well enough for school tomorrow.

[CShaveRR]

Glad to hear you're feeling a little better, Willy!  Take things as easy as possible tomorrow.

[mudchicken]

// Staggers in from the field (80 miles south of the office)...gulps down several gallons of Gatorade, chugs Advil tablets out of 55 gallon drum, scarfs down leftover potato salad...turns down lights in the empty DD&CS upper level/coop, sets cuzzin cuckoo for 4 am  

[blhanel]

Oh-oh, I don't want to be startled awake by that thing...

//vacates recliner and diner

Cya tomorrow!

[mudchicken]

You can hear cuzzin all the way down there? You could always hold a gun to his beak (effective snooze button)

anyone else left in here?

 

[CShaveRR]

I can just hear MC when the cat comes in....

"Nobody up here but us cuzzins!"

(It won't work...)

[cherokee woman]

Good Wednesday morning, everyone.  Trying to be very quiet, so MC can get
some more sleep. 

Coffee is on, juice is made (orange/tangerine) and got hot chocolate & cocoa
ready.

Got breakfast on the warmer bar:  bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, sausage
gravy w/homemade biscuits, oatmeal and toast and hash browns.

Hopefully, Mookie will finish that pile of work that was left for her yesterday, and
she'll be able to come in for a couple of visits today.

Everyone have a great day.

Dang - miss everyone again - and there was a prize line up! 

Got some more items to bury - so will be busy in the back yard for awhile.  Maybe a little later I can come in and "cat-sup".....
