Willy,again Congrats,I know that you're very glad that part is over.

Jay,That's Very Good News!!! Thanks for sharing that with us!!

Brian,you might want to be careful about putting cake in the bowl now,
after the timer gets hooked up,don't know if she'll like/want Kibble on
the cake!  (quite like that anyway,totally separate,maybe. )

[blhanel]

Glad to hear that, Jay.

Willy2-Congrats on the end of the ordeal of the metal.  Smile.

Mook-Send some rain.

Other than dry, clear skys, cool nights and moderate daytime temps have been the rule here.  Glad to hear that it is getting spread around.

If you haven't heard, Mark is back for good.  Currently taking some well deserved R&R.

Tree - since you are a good fixer upper in certain departments, there is a box in the corner with a lid that could use some grippers on it.  Someone accidently tripped on it the other day whilst it was in use...Jostling I don't need!  Besides my dignity was injured, since there was sand everywhere!

I will leave a work order on your coffee cup.

Only fun in my life lately - I took a shower with the new landlord. 

I know!  It is a family forum.  Our duplex has back to back bathrooms, which makes every venture in there a real experience.  He was working on the plumbing on the other side when I took my shower.  Those walls are so thin - I hope he didn't get too wet! 

Rain maybe?  This is so unusual.  The power of this forum.  Normally August is totally dry.  No rain whatsoever until Sept.  So I yowled about it on here and voila.....we have been having rain off and on for the past 2 weeks! 

Now I want to talk about the state of my empty bowl....... Yowl!

Mook,if you will submit the proper Work Order, we'll make sure that a timer and airtight
food container can be attached to your food bowl,so you don't have to go around tugging
at shoe laces,batting ankles to get attention so that it does get refilled. (you know,alot like
the reservoir you have for the water.)

[Willy2]

Good Morning!

My braces are off. Overall it's good to be rid of them although now I've got the retainer to put up with.

Last night was book night at school to prepare for the upcoming year. Had to go get all of my books, uniforms, schedule, id photo, etc. The chemistry book is looking kind of scary, but I'll try to be brave!

More rain is on the way for tonight, Thursday night and probably Friday night, too.

That's all from here. Have a good day!

Whoa ready for my breakfast after goin thru 2 18 innin games last nite!!! One was our home team. Mornin all hope see everyone gleaming with happiness today.

[cherokee woman]

Good Wednesday morning, everyone!  Joe, thanks for putting the coffee on, and
making the juice and lemonade! 

Mookie, with the rain we've had lately, maybe we'll be able to get outside and
cut our grass later this afternoon, or tomorrow, with our grass/weed trimmer (unless
our mower shows up before then).  Saw his wife at Produce yesterday, and she
said she'd tell him our grass needs cutting. 

Breakfast this morning (our current temp is a pleasant 65!!) will be:  bacon, sausage,
biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, and fried taters, oatmeal & toast. 

Hear the little ones outside, waiting for their school bus.  Boy, they're loud this a.m.

Everyone have a great day.

Morning Everyone,

I'm headed out to DIA to pick up a friend who is visiting for a couple days, so I may not drop into the DD&CS for a couple days. Hope you all have a great week, and I'll see you on Sunday if not before!

P.S. Mook, got your coffee mug filling again. Should be ready in a bit.

Morning everyone.......

Well, had an exercise in bone-head-ism at work today.  Had one guy installing hubs for the first time, and he kinda forgot to install the inner wheel bearing before sliding the hub on.  Almost took the ABS sensor brackets clean off the axles when he tried to run through the hub torque sequence with the machine.

Larry and Jay, I know how that goes, it took about twelve years for my parents to finish my sisters bedroom, it used to be an attic.  Mom finally got frustrated enough that she called in a contractor to finish the job (come to think of it, the last three or four rooms that have been redone, she called in a contractor, wonder if she was trying to tell dad something?)

Welcome to the diner Nighttrain, feel free to help yourself to the Gatorade and Squincher on tap, and have a good time here in general.  I'm usually in here nocturnally, me being a second shifter.  Will have what's left of the Blue Plate, and have a good morning everyone.

[CNW 6000]

Cold meatloaf and warm mashed 'taters sounds darn good right about now.  I'll even have two helpings! 

NCA-CINC: MSG REC'D 5x5.  Off to bed!

[SactoGuy188]

2.  Meet loaf, mashed taters, gravy, and whatever veggies you prefer

Everything's laid out on the warmer bar, so help yourselves.

(Grabs plate of meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy and peas for a late night supper)

[jeaton]

Church meeting tonight.  Three hours, way to long.  As a late supper, meat loaf on the Blue Plate is just fine.  I've never met a vegtable I didn't like, so whatever is left.

Larry - Had one of those.  Same time experience, but anything done in a 120 year old building takes a long time.  The cast iron flange had cracked, so after I fixed the floor I had a pro come in and finish the job.  Fortunately there are ways to fix that problem without having replace any pipe.  The crawl space between the "full" 2x12 floor joists and the ground is not more than 18 inches.  Not too many plumbers I know would fit.

Cannonball -  Good work. 

[switch7frg]

CW  >>> I reckon the produce is bout the same country wide. A lot of our people have come back from rummer vacation . There was 4 folks who went to the great cabbage patch in the sky.  On avg. we have 118 folks drop by . There is also an elderly box of varied foods  for over 60 /w low income I help there once a mo.  That box is from  the county.  Inthis rural area  sometimes it is hard to get good produce , ( wilted or bearded beans & maters)  but when thats all some folks get it is appreciated.  Pasteries are out dated by 1 day ,but they go in a hurry.  But at the end of the line I feel I have made someones day better.  Cannonball.

Whodathunk replacing a 27" x 27" section of floor would be such a production?  Due to previously undetected leaks under the throne, the floor was giving out, so I decided I'd better replace it before I found myself in the basement.....

First day's work interrupted by an 8 acre brush fire (more on that later), but I did get the section of the floor I wanted to replace out and scoped out what would be required next.  It does mean I have to traipse upstairs, but at least I have a second bathroom...  Most parts are on hand.

Second day - take day off from work so I can work on this.  Get plywood cut to size, go to lumberyard for 2x4 to provide more solid base.  Got that cut up and in place.  Sanded and poly'd the plywood so new tile will stick better (and had to wait for that to dry).  Had to go into town to get measured for tux for daughter's wedding and a couple more "parts," but the floor is down, gaps filled (had to wait for that to dry, too) and sanded, and another coat of poly. 

Wednesday night it gets sanded again, the initial tile gets put down, and the king shall again have his throne.  Then I just have to finish putting the tile down and replace the mop boards...

And I thought I'd finish it in a day.

As for the brush fire - I was on my way home from the initial supply trip for this project when the pager blats for a brush fire, threatening two barns.  Four hours and eight fire departments later, both buildings are still standing (although one has some charring - we had to put it out twice) and around 8 to 10 acres burned.  Seems the family was just on vacation and acquired some fireworks.  Mom and Dad weren't home, so Jr was in the back lot firing off some Roman Candles. He's headed to court., since said fireworks are illegal here.....

Let me check the cooler....

Matt will be teaching the colors to the rest of the class--green, yellow, red, lunar white, Enchantment Blue,stealth gray...

So, Duff, who's version of Night Train do you like best?

Ed

welllll......All of the versions in the key of "Nightrain" I like. But I have to admit, the Guns N' Roses version about cheap liquor catches my attention a little more than the rest. How can I resist "Loaded like a freight train, flying like an aeroplane, feling like a spacebrain one more time tonight" Strange enough that the cowbell on that song reminds me of the crossbucks at a rail crossing. Can't figure out why

*sits down* Pepsi and a bowl of chili for me, can I have some rice on the side? and some grated cheddar cheese? thanks

Thank you everyone for the welcome, I kinda get the rules, more of a self explanitory kind of thing. The virtual dinners are great, they were on high recommendation with the rest of the boards, it seemed a great place to come where nothing is always serious.

Once I can think of a dumb question I will definetly ask.

[espeefoamer]

I'll have the #2,with corn please!{dinner]

[Anonymous]

Oh man CW sure can use the tacos--yuumn um.  For ones who0 cares--I bowled well above average all 3 games today.   Have nice evening all.

[cherokee woman]

How about what we used to call the Blue Plate Special--meatloaf, your choice of side vegetables and mashed potatoes with gravy?

Nighttrain, to the DD&CS!!  So glad to have you join us.  Please come in any time
to visit, and enjoy a "virtual" meal or two, etc. as often as you can.

Okay, we have TWO Blue Plate Specials for supper tonight:

1.  Beef tacos w/chips, con quaso or salsa, and Spanish rice, along with shredded lettuce,
     diced onions and tomatoes
2.  Meet loaf, mashed taters, gravy, and whatever veggies you prefer

Everything's laid out on the warmer bar, so help yourselves.

[blhanel]

Nighttrain, to the Diner!! I believe you've been given
the "loosely followed rules".Come back in and visit every chance you get.
And Night Train is a very good song.


Mookie,Why did the cat cross the road?

The cat didn't have to cross the road!  She threw a stick and the dog crossed it for her. 

Actually, the diner is on this side, so there is nothing over there to go see. 

Moo....

Actually SHE thought she saw a "Peeking Chicken Dish" on the other side!!!!
