Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

[tree68]

Wow - exciting morning here in the Diner.  I might even be glad I missed it.  Let's see if I can find some turkey, swiss cheese, and rye bread....  There should be some sweet iced tea in the cooler.

 

 

[cherokee woman]

Gee, I can't leave you all alone long enough to get the Produce done!!  Am I
going to have to start putting people in "time-out"?!?!?!  Maybe I should bring
in a playpen??

Since there's been such a hullabaloo around here this morning, didn't have
time to actually cook lunch, so there's all kinds of cold cuts and sides, so
you can each make your own sandwiches today.

Working on an idea for tonight's supper,and I'll let everyone know what it
(supper) will be in two hours.

Good morning everyone.

(Grabs breakfast from breakfast bar )

By the way, anyone here interested in me making a Chinese dim sum brunch this coming Sunday?

 

 

CW says if you will email her the recipe,she'll at least attempt to make it.
She says that she's not real familiar with Chinese cooking,especially that dish.
(unless it has a "Simple" American name!)

Siblings should be best friends (with the possible exception of spouses).  They know that a good breakfast and a hug trumps a chocolate cake.

Morning All,

Hmmm...I was getting prepared to unload the tank car of Mook's morning coffee cup, but I can't find that cat anywhere. Did hear some kind of commotion in the closet though. And I saw Brian running away from the DD&CS wearing his medieval footwear again. You all aren't miffing the kitty are you? Think I'll add to the chocolate offering just to be on the safe side.

Meanwhile, we've got a tank car full of coffee. I'll take care of two (standard) sized cups, but that still eaves an awful lot. You all had better start drinking up! Need to empty it out before the local comes in tomorrow to pick it up!

I guess it's time to worry about work. Hope you all have a great day. TTFN!

I THINK all "parties" have exited the closet by now,did you perchance look under the hammock??

[Mookie]

(Exiting closet) - there - We had a little sibling discussion and all is better now.  Sometimes people need to paws and regroup. 

Where is Joe - I need my brush to smooth my fur. 

Great to have people looking after the cake and coffee!  It is good to have nice friends!

Morning all!  I'll have some of the wonderful breakfast CW has put on the warmer bar.  Why do I see claw marks and fur all over the Diner this morning?  Uh, oh...someone's gotten the cat's dander up!  Time to "exit, stage left"...and pronto!

 

(Leaves one of his famous "Death By Chocolate" cakes near the bowl and runs!)

/exiting the closet

Careful, Brian!  Those aren't stars--they're spurs!

[Mookie]

Hmmm....cake gone from high shelf (I would know these things!) and cake in the bowl.  Someone must have done something naughty last nite. 

Fortunately, I had my nails done  * * * *    * * * *  - had little stars put on each on - cute, huh? Like those, Brian? 

Let's see - Tuesday - paper not here yet.  Wanted to look for a new fur for winter.  Maybe something in [ ]  or  [ ]  or [ ] ?  Will have to ponder that a little. 

BC - I want to have a word with you in the closet! 

The rest of you will have to excuse us for a short time.  We have some things to maul.. er... mull over.

Back shortly!

La Mook!

Ah, yes, just another Monday, and running par for the course.......

Nighttrain, UPS is a VERY DEMANDING customer, I know this because I build trailers for them at Stoughton Trailer.  We have to be perfect all the time for them, they don't like surprises (like the trailer that made it to NYC with no undercoating on it, I think we ate that trailer).

Other than that, got a bit from the old TV show Hee Haw stuck in my head, still is a funny show, CMT needs to show more of them.

"Where, oh where are you tonight?  Why did you leave me here all alone?  I searched the world over, and thought I'd found true love, you met another and phbbbt, you were gone."

I think I'd better leave before the men in the white coats come looking........

"They're coming to take me away, ha ha hee hee, they're coming to take me away!!"

Breakfast is laid out on the warmer bar:  bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, biscuits, fried
potatoes, and scrambled eggs. 

I'll be back, after I'm through with Tuesday Produce.

Yours, too, huh?

I'm up at this time of day because of a little bit of a headache (I don't drink, so I'm not hung over).  Glad I don't have to work today--two hours away from gettin'-up time.

Willy, these ladies might be slightly goofy, but they're not crazy, by any means.  I think SJ would make a good one at times, though I'm not sure the colors themselves would agree with her.  (Heck, they don't agree with each other, but I guess that's the point.)

Well, now that I've plopped and fizzed, it's time to flop and ZiZZZZZ.

[NightrainAFD1987]

I'll sprinkle some catnip on top of it. Or maybe not, I'll get used as a scratching post by tomorrow morning if I did that...or maybe not...

Aaargh my head hurts now

[locomutt]

...or at least put a large piece of cake in her bowl come
morning...as Sort Of a peace offering!

[blhanel]

...and after that last post, I'll probably need to strap on my shinguards again tomorrow...

[NightrainAFD1987]

Could defintely understand that Chocolate cake can be deadly, and I don't mean cholestrol wise either

[blhanel]

Hang on, I think we hid some up on this top shelf...

can't leave it within sight of the Mookster, you know!

[NightrainAFD1987]

WHOO! thanks! I feel better now that I learned something. Thanks for learning a beginner in the jargon.

Tree, you do try, at least you don't overdo your efforts, thats why I like ya

I saw some of the posts that left me in tears from laughing so hard. so it's all good

CW- Mutt, Jim, and Mookie were funny as well. I usually like to be around the people who are....fun....for lack of a better term. I been here under a month and most of the people on this forum are a little stale. So coming into the Diner is a refreshing way of saying, yeah there are people around here that remember how to have fun with life.

I like my name, so I think I'll keep it. Thanks for the offer though Mookie.

I had Goolosh for dinner...so I think I will see if we have some chocolate cake....just one slice, I promise I won't eat it all.

[mudchicken]

Mooks - I'm here. But since Sunday I don't  where "here" is, versus where  I  was "supposed to be".

[JoeKoh]

cw will take some of #1 for supper at work tonight.yes ups trains are a top priority.trainmaster in defiance has said you really dont want to be responsible for making one of those late.

stay safe

Joe

[SactoGuy188]

Premium Intermodal trains? ...what are those? LOL yeah I feel rather dumb.

The company that uses the "hot" intermodal trains the most is United Parcel Service--these trains are usually trailers mounted on spline cars with all the latest in "hot" power such as GE Dash 9-44CW units (usually 3-4 locomotives on the point). These trains run with near-passenger train priority.

Just turn your wireless computer on and see if you get a signal.  A lot of people set up a wireless network at home, on their high-speed connection, but don't bother to lock it down.  Free wireless for the world - my daughter found a hot spot at the private residence where she works, and they don't have wireless there...  There's even a set of symbols for it - a la hobo markings of years gone by...

 

That's always the first thing!  And there is most often a work station off the lobby and other public places to use free, but they have a dress code.

and tree....He seems a versitile kind of guy.

I try...

$12.00 a day? Yikes! Along with the coffee shops, I've found that many public libraries out here offer free wireless, too. It's a beautiful thing in Jefferson County, too. All of JeffCo's branches offer high speed internet on their computers for increments of 15 min. at a time for non-Library Card Holders. They also offer free wireless for unlimited time. All one needs is a wireless capable laptop...schweeet!

[jeaton]

Thought I picked up that the Mudchicken was in the field on the job showing people how to get it done right.  Possibly the temporary resting spot is stuck in the 20th Century with dial up only or worse is charging an outrageous fee for access to a high speed connection.

The access fee at the Sheraton on the North side of Indy was $12.00 a day.  I'd rather get it free for the price of a cup of fancy coffee.
