Oh and.....TGIF!

Mookie,
is a scone anything like a Lurk[?][:D][}:)]

Just came over from the MR Coffee Shop , thought this was where everybody was, but it looks empty here too.
Is anybody out there?
Well, as i have another 2 hrs to go, guess I'll just grab a seat and...ok, who left the fridge door open. Thats a surefire to gain weight, don't cha know?I'll just close....is that Cream Pie? Is that Boston Cream Pie?!?!?!? Better get rid of it, what with the door being ajar, might be spoiled. I'll take the bullet for you guys.
Nope! Well, better safe than sorry.
The joe is still from locomutts last visit, but with enough cream and sweetener, and a Boston Cream Pie, it's ambrosia!
I'll have a fresh pot a'brewin' when you all come in.
Better check that Cherry Cheesecake while I'm at it. The things I do for you guys.[:D][}:)][:P][;)][dinner]

Well folks, I will be heading to Missouri after a nap. Hopefully I will be on the road by 9 am. I have some house cleaning things to accompli***hen I will go to bed.

So no posts by Jim till Sunday afternoon/evening. [;)]

I have faith that the "diner" will be just find without me. I am sure my "trained attack mice" will guard the storeroom just fine. [;)] [8D] Grandson of "Ben" is their leader.

Gee, no cake in the mail today. [:(]

No cards with money either. [:(] [:(] [V]

And if that wasn't bad enough, I had to take the truck for air conditioning work and also one of the tires had a nail in it. [:(!]

AND I still have not got to take my test either. [:(]

Well the week gets beter when I start my trip.

Time for dishes and laundry.

See yall.

Take care. [:)]

Thanks for info on the Berk. I reckon they look great. I drool when I think of the Bachmann Spectrum models...


Locomutt

Thanks for the good wishes, 3 - 5 inches sounds good. By the way, can you ask Cherokee Woman if she got my email?

Kozzie,
If we could ship it to you,you could have had all the rain we had last night.
I wouldn't wi***he 80mph winds off on you,but depending on where you
live around here,we got 3-5" of rain.

Cold Pizza is fine with me. Don't worry, I'll be on mudchicken patrol for about fifteen minutes, after that your on your own. I've eaten a darn lot of things for breakfest. I don't feel like making those freezer pancakes, so I just grab yesterdays leftovers.

Larry, the photo of you in your profile gives us details of what looks like quite a good steam loco. What class/type is it? [;)]

Dave


I'll call on a friend with Native American roots to see if he can do a rain dance for you.

Loco in the profile is an S-2 Berkshire (NKP) at the Pennsylvania Transportation Museum in Strasburg. I've got pictures of myself with 4 or 5 Berks. Call it a mission... Now if I can just catch a ride behind one.
