Cheeseburgers:

spokyone Cheeseburgers: Yippee
Yep, you've got it Bob! Everything is ready and on the serving station. So you all go ahead, and help yourselves.
Last weather report I heard: still getting the snow flurries (looks like more than flurries to me, looking out the front door), and should get only about a half inch or less accumulation by tomorrow. But, when Friday rolls around, they are looking for us to get 3 to 5 inches of snow. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles, the ball bounces, etc.
Everyone enjoy your supper, have a good evening, keep safe and take care. (OH, and Joe, glad to see you decided to actually pop in, without lurking!)
I like cheeseburgers!
The rain has stopped. The wind is here, and it's about 15 degrees colder now than at 5 AM today.
Spent part of the afternoon dealing with a flooded basement (not mine, though). Now that the rain has stopped, the water running into basements has subsided somewhat.
They're talking lake effect for tomorrow and Wednesday, which may replace some of the snow that melted with our January thaw.
Are the fries ready?

Is it Feb-i-nary yet?
Culvers has the best chee-burgers.
Now about the smore....someone knock it on the floor for me? ^~^

"Culvers has the best cheeseburgers." ABSOLUTELY! But here in Sioux Falls, the nearest Culvers is about 3 miles southwest of my house. So a cheeseburger from the Flat Wheel Cafe & Diner tonight will have to suffice.
Right now we have 1 degree above 0 and with blizzard conditions, the winds are out of the northwest at up to 35 mph, so I'm not going anywhere tonight.
CANADIANPACIFIC2816 Mookie, you mentioned gold in one of your most recent posts. I once took a surface tour of the Homestake Mining Company's operation in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The mines at Homestake have long since been shut down and there are some people who would like to turn the mine into an underground physics lab of some sort. I have a better idea. The Yates shaft is some 8 thousand feet in depth, and the Homestake mine could serve as sort of a final resting place for a lot of our corrupt politicians. Let's give them the shaft, in other words.

This is something that some of us Norwegians would try doing!
Murray - they discussed whataburger several years ago here on the forum. It was unanimous - evidently they are very good..
In-and-out Burger in CA is also good and we don't have that one either!
Good evening, Diner Denizens. Thought I'd duck in here during the short period when the internet is cooperating for me, something that seems to be rare in my house lately. Mediacom is sending someone over tomorrow to investigate the problem, which is also affecting our phone service occasionally.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Brian, it's good to see that you were in last night: long time no see, stranger! How are you doing, after your eye surgery? Everything still going o.k.?
Well, we have a little bit of snow on the grassy areas this morning, nothing too bad, streets are wet, but traffic is moving along all right. Don't think I'll have too much of a problem with Tuesday Produce this morning.
Coffee, juices and hot beverages are all freshly made and ready to go this morning.
On the serving station this morning: all the regular breakfast menu items (bacon ,sausage, eggs, bagels, bear claws, etc.), so just mosey on over to the serving station and fill your plates.
Speaking of "moseying along", heard on the news this morning that actor Purnell Roberts, who played Adam Cartwright on Bonanza, and Trapper John, M.D., as passed away at age 81. With his demise, that leaves none of the "Cartwrights" left, and the only starring member of the cast left, is David Canary, who played Candy, after Purnell Roberts left the show. For those of us in our 50's, 60's, and over, that doesn't leave too many people left, that we all watched on TV growing up.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, have a good morning, keep safe, take care and I'll see you all after I get through with the Produce people.
good morning
Larry Matt says"What fries???" He is on time and on the bus this morning.We got a dusting and mother nature is blowing it around.Cw thanks for breakfast.time for a nap.Matt and I need to go to town after he gets home from school.Mookie here is your coffee mug.

joe
Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Thanx Joe - I really need coffee this morning.

CW, the role of Ben Cartwright in Bonanza was played by Lorne Greene. Lorne Greene was born and raised in Canada and a few years ago Canada Post issued a series of stamps in a souvenier sheet commemorating Canadian-born actors, and a stamp depicting Lorne Greene is part of that sheet. Being that I am a stamp collector, I have that item in my collection.
It's pretty cold here in Sioux Falls, we have a temp of -10.5 below 0, to say nothing of what the wind chill factor might be. I will not try going anywhere today. Everyone stay warm!
ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
I'm doing great, CW! I'll find out for sure Thursday (one-week recheck), but I think my distance vision is now better than 20/20.
I, too, really enjoyed watching Bonanza in my younger days- I still like to catch a rerun every now and then when it shows up on one of the cable channels.
Good morning. Currently, it is 45 and sunny in Carolina. So nice, in fact that the girls didn't want to come back in!
Pernell Roberts was known in Hollywood as a very angry man who caused disruptions on the set over a variety of things. Nuff sed.
The best cheeseburger I ever ate was at the Dairy Bar in Columbia whilst I was in college. For 65 cents, you could get a cheeseburger the size of a quarter pounder that was unforgettable. I can still remember how good it was 40 some years on.
Everybody take care and stay warm.

Central Indiana has some snow flakes floating around this morning and overcast, but very bright....so must be a rather light cloud cover. temp now: 21 plus. About a half inch of snow yesterday with gusts of wind.
On the hamburger / cheezeburger comments: Mine, I must go back decades. Location: on route 30 in Jennerstown, Pa. Bill Brown's Diner. Believe it started back about 1929. They had several {3}, locations in the town over the years. I'm sure Bill and wife are deceased now.
A burger and {real} mashed potatoes / butter on top.....Wow....! That was often a lunch stop when we were doing auto transmission testing out of that little town. Other Companies did testing work there too...Brake co's, mostly, but in the 50's, Ford Motor Co. did a lot of testing work {trucks & cars}, in that area. Our Co. was Borg-Warner Corp.
.....Best burgers I have ever eaten....bar none. It was a family business open until late at night. Would pay plenty to access one {or more}, of his creations now....and of course, not possible....Sigh......
Quentin
We had 59 people show up for Produce this morning. We got: red potatoes (5# bags), 3 # bags of onions, packages of sliced red apples, bags of sliced carrots, 5 # bags of lettuce and salad mix, 10# bags of greens, 5# bags of apples, 5# bags of oranges.
As far as the best burgers and cheeseburgers I've ever had (other than Mama's home cooked burgers & cheeseburgers, where she mad her own brand of tarter sauce (chopped up lettuce, onion, home canned sweet pickles) was a little restaurant down in Russellville, KY . I can no longer remember the name of the restaurant, but I know it's still there (have a friend who was raised down there). When I was little, and the family would be going or coming back from Tennessee to visit Mama's family, we'd always stop there. Sometimes we'd stop both ways, once for breakfast, on the way down, and coming back, for a late lunch.
On our menu for this afternoon and tonight:
1. Your choice of Chicken abracadbra or pork chop abracadbra
2. A mini Mexican Fiesta night, with tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and fajitas, with chopped lettuce and tomatoes, and tortilla chips with the various sauces
Our current temp is 32 degrees F., with a breeze/wind that will cut right through you.
Everyone enjoy your meal, have a good evening, staying warm, keeping safe and taking care.
It snows, then the wind shifts and it stops. Then the wind shifts and it starts again. There's a lake effect advisory through tomorrow afternoon, so we'll get back a little of the snow our January thaw took away. Kinda like the blanket of white again...
Good Wednesday morning ,everyone, and Happy Birthday to Roy (piouslion), and to the late, great composer, Mozart! I hope it is a very, very good and Happy Birthday, Roy, and may you be blessed with Happiness, Love, Joy and Peace on this, your birthday. And may you be able to see plenty of trains today!
Roy, with it being his birthday, has selected the menus for today. For Breakfast, we have: Country bacon and sausage, scrambled eggs, grits, for those of you who like them, large 3" homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy and plenty of butter, strawberry jam and some fine Sumatran coffee. And there's also the regular bagels and bear claws.
All the other breakfast beverages are also available and ready to go.
We currently have a temp this morning of 22 degrees F., going for a high in the 40s. And they are now saying that tomorrow, we will get 2 to 4 inches of snow, and some areas south of us, may see 8 to 10 inches of snow. Looks like it's going to be 'fun, fun, fun in the Ville" tomorrow. (yuck) With yesterday's, bad weather, we had almost 250 accidents yesterday morning, some with school buses involved, with minor injuries to some of the children. A lot of people are complaining that they did not see any salt trucks out, and that the schools should have been on a 2 hour delay. (The city is saying that they did brine the streets, bridges and overpasses, but I never heard or saw any vehicles anywhere around our area yesterdy morning.
For the lunch menu today: Pork chops, fried okra, squash, green beans, served with your choice of hot or iced tea, rolls, and several flavors of Jell-O for dessert. (I'm posting this menu early this morning, because we have more people coming to the house today to blow insulation into the attic, and do other weatherization to this old, old house of ours.
Everyone have a great morning, and I'll see you all sometime late this afternoon, early evening.
Good morning
flurries and brr outside.matt is on time and on the bus.Today my best friend brian turns "40".got to go make his day extra special. Cw thanks for breakfast.
Well - happy birthdays around!
I've got a light dusting of snow this morning, but there are schools on delay to the south of me, in the middle of the lake effect band. Hopefully I can make it into town today for a few items. I'm working on some 'rope bags' to carry the FD's forestry hose in and I ran out of a couple of things I need.
Time for breakfast, take the dog for a walk so I can pick up the mail, and then on to the days projects.
Happy Birthday Roy (PL). Think I will pass on the Okra. Had it once - it had been boiled - never wanted to have it again. Served along side stewed tomatoes. Don't want them again either.
Joe - tell your friend bifocals will be next.
CW - after they do the insulation, you will really notice the difference. Even a little will help a lot.
No sun today. Grandson tho' after school is out. Gotta get another puter. He designs games for SpongeBob Squarepants on this one. Wants to be an artist - that's this year (10) Maybe so - has good genes for it - except for Grma! She types!
Good morning. 42 and sunny in Carolina this lovely day. Our house is deficient in insulation, and consequetly, not as snug as it could be. We also need some more blown into the attic. With the furnace on the fritz, it is doubly noticeable.
Roy, have a great and memorable birthday, son, and many more happy returns.
Mooks, I couldn't agree more on the okra and stewed tomatoes, and you can add collards. turnips and mustard to that list.
Everyone take care, stay warm and healthy
MookieHe designs games for SpongeBob Squarepants on this one. Wants to be an artist - that's this year (10) Maybe so - has good genes for it
If he still has that desire when he's deciding what to do after high school, we can put him in touch with my son Chris, who is gainfully employed as a game designer for Budcat, a company in Iowa City which is a subsidiary of Activision. Chris has worked on various games for them, including some of the Guitar Hero versions that are on the store shelves. He's currently over visiting another subsidiary north of San Francisco for a week, learning about another project that Budcat will be assisting the other subsidiary with.
.....A nice morning here in Indiana for us. Bright sunshine, but very cool. Now rising temps with the sun putting heat thru the windows. Mid 20's temp now. But the remainder of this week is to be on the cool side.
Yes, I see the weather Paula is talking about....Believe we'll luck out for that. The east / west band of snow is south of us....than the band of ice is south of that, and then finally the band of rain below that....and it all stretches across to the east coast.
Just a bunch of lazy snow flurries at times here yesterday.
But the bright sunshine sure looks and feels good this morning...{shining in my eastern office window here}.
Insulation in a house certainly makes a great difference....Of course up here it is a necessary item to be included when building....When I had this one built, all outside walls were filled with blowed in cellulose, including garage walls facing inside rooms.....{garage ceiling too}, and insulated garage door....and insulated service and storm door out of garage and of course the same in the ceiling {attic}, in the rest of the home....and thermopane windows, with storms on the outside of them....
Also, pay attention to electric outlets....{seals available}...Even around and under baseboards if the "plate" isn't sealed tight to flooring....Seal there...Seal around pipe outlets....and of course insulated {and storm doors}, all help to complete the project of keeping a home comfortable...and less expensive to keep that way.....Have a storm door on the outside of our sliding glass door {of course it's double glass}, and verticals to shut when weather is extreme, and or to keep sun out....
It can get cold and windy up here in the Winter months...so the above is a helpful, necessary part of staying comfortable.
Brian - will keep that in mind. He is quite artistic and seems to be good at designing. Will probably all change by 12, but will encourage him in the artistic direction.
Quentin - I found a light switch that had cold air coming in around it! We can't do much about insulation, but may have to knit a switch plate for it. Actually coming in around the switch itself.
Mookie Quentin - I found a light switch that had cold air coming in around it! We can't do much about insulation, but may have to knit a switch plate for it. Actually coming in around the switch itself.
Jen.....There are thin foam cutouts in packages available at hardware / big box stores to fit behind the finish wall plate of your switch / outlet opening.
They go a long way to stop that incoming air.
