Good Wednesday morning, everyone. We have 73 degrees this morning, and the sun is shining brightly. Supposed to 'only' get to 89 degrees today.
Johnny, sounds like you and Ricki are really enjoying your trip!! Keep safe, you two!
Coffee, juices and other morning bevrages are fresh and ready to go. Mudchicken, there's even plenty of the blue Gatorade for you, along with several other flavors. And, of course, there's hot water for Larry's and Tom's hot tea.
On the serving station this morning: blueberry pancakes, bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy.
Mookie, would you like to meet out in the garden, and we'll sit in our rockers and watch the trains going by.

Ricki had forgotten that automobiles are not allowed, and was surprised to see horse-drawn taxis.
[Edit:add] It is supposed to be much cooler here than on the mainland.

I had some nice asparagus with my wild musroom strudel dinner at the Grand Hotel tonight. It did not need any kind of sauce, not even mayonaise.
Speaking of meatloaf, it was always one of my Dad's favorite dishes and I used to turn my nose up at it when I was a lot younger. I have since then learned that left-over meat loaf really makes a good sandwhich when it is cold.
I forgot to add: when finished eating the last meal, tidy up just a little and then sit on your family!

Cooler here today. Will pass it on to the right.
CW - in an endeavor to increase my culinary skills, I have been watching a nest box. Seems that when you decide the "meat" for the meal, you pull all the fur off it. Just toss it on the floor. Maybe make something out of it later.
Then rip the meat into pieces and be sure to stand on it all the while, so it doesn't slip out of your grasp!
You are so very right, Quentin: something needs to be done, and it needs to be done now.
Produce went well this morning. The truck arrived about 8:40, and I was back home before 9:30. We had 65, 67 people this morning. They brought potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, bags of kale and other greens, and gallon jugs of sweetened iced tea w/lemon juice in it.
I have our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta ready and on the serving station:
1. Burritos (beef, beef & bean and beef enchilada style)
2. Tacos (soft shell and hard shell)
3. Spanish rice
4. Chimichangas
5. Fajitas
6. Chipotle chicken wraps
7. 6 oz. sirloin steaks
8. Sour cream chicken enchiladas
I hope everyone enjoys, and also hope you all stay cool this afternoon. Looks like summer has come about 3 weeks early, so guess we're definitely in for a Long, Hot Summer.
......if BP does not reach success with latest effort to cap...stop the uncontrolled oil flow, etc.....I believe our government should, in a legal manner....take over the project {of stopping the oil flow}. Create a "Manhattan" like project. Find and bring in experts {wherever they must come from....and the same with equipment}, and go all out to get this emercency situation under control.
The consequences seem too great to rely on "someone else" to prevent such damage to our economy and people.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Tom, glad to know that everything checked out A-OK for you!!
I guess I needed the extra sleep, since I just woke up at 6:01. But I sure don't feel like I got any good rest overnight: I'm tired as can be.
Happy Birthday to our very own Kathi Kube today! Kat, hope it is a very good day for you, with many, many happy returns!!
Coffee is on, juices are freshly made, and our other morning beverages are ready to go. On the serving station this morning: our regular breakfast menu, including the bagels and bear claws.
Randy, sounds like you came by our neck of the woods last night! Have a very safe trip north today.
I guess I'll see you all later. Everyone have a good morning, and I'll see you all after I get through with Tuesday Produce.
Mornin glory! 65 degrees and overcast in Carolina this morning. The boffins are calling for 80 and more thunderstorms.
The Roanoke cam came back online last night. Seems gone again, tho.
Everyone take care
Murray always liked driving on the Pennsylvania Turnpike...I remember when they still had Howard Johnsons at the Service areas
Yes, Murray...they were great. Had a special friend that worked at one of them. All the original restaurants on the "original" 160 mi. Pennsy Turnpike were Howard Johnson's. {Opened Oct. 1st. 1940}.
What a far cry from those back then compared to now...Fast food, plastic, etc.....
Midway Station was near Bedford, Pa., and it was a special one....larger than the others and really pretty nice. Midway along the original mileage, hence the name.
Trivia: The route the Turnpike follows {roughly}, was to be the South Penn Railroad....Construction was stopped in 1885....Bought out by competitor Pennsy. Some of the ROW was built....and lots of it is still visible where it was not covered by the Turnpike. Max. grade proposed: 2%.
Evening everyone.....
77 outside right now at exit 28 on I-71 in Kentucky, will probably be letting the truck run tonight for air conditioning, pretty humid out. Heading Larry's way with A/C parts, guess they need them. Memphis got clobbered this afternoon with storms, just made it out of there before the spit hit the spam.
Well, off to bed......

Hey Tom, I am glad to hear that your doctor's office had good news for you this morning, although it does kind of make me mad that they had to charge you for it! GOD DOES ANSWER PRAYERS!!

spokyone Vichysoise? I don't eat anything I can't pronounce.
Good afternoon. I had a midmorning appointment at the Drs orifice to find out the results of my tests two weeks ago. This, it turned out, was something that could have been done over the fone, but they don't charge for fone consultations, hence the orifice visit was required! Everything was negative, PTL, including my bank account(sobb), so I have much to be thankful for. Afterwards, we stopped at a local eatery and got some beef stew for lunch. Made the outing worthwhile.
73 and cloudy, expecting several thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight. Can't hook up the wireless till that passes.
Bob - how about gazpacho - just like it looks. I am going to assume you have had it, but if not, if you like tomatos and veggies - served cold. Very, very good. Like chunky V-8.
CW - try on a cool bath?
Vichysoise? I don't eat anything I can't pronounce.
MookieCW - it is a very humid humidity. Fans just moved the air around and not much cooling going on at all
Mookie, you're absolutely right about the humid humidity! Also, there was no cooling going on. It made for a very uncomfortable night of trying to sleep.
And, since it's so warm and everything, how about some cool dishes for today? Here's this afternoon and evening menu:
1. Tuna salad sandwiches
2. BLTs
3. Vichysoise soup
And you can have chips and garden salad also.
I'm off to see what I can get into, that will keep me half way cool.
Summer heat is among us....almost too quick. Humidity along with it. 75% already this morning. Sunshine too.
Grass, shrubs....are growing like Kudzu.....! Looks like it is to continue this week and just a bit of lower temps by weekend. Hope it's dry too, as we're trying to head out east for the holiday. Looks now like we might actually have basic dry weather, but the forecast can change by then.....
That holiday can be a bit cool out there, but not always...Elevation 2,000'.
400 mi. due east to go....
Trivia: So must gain 1050' from here to there. Hmmm, what avg. grade is that...? Is it.000072 %, if so, would make a good avg. RR grade if it was constant, but it's really not. Have to ascend a leg of the Alleghenies rather quickly up and part way back down....over about 30 mi. {That part would not make a good RR grade}. But thinking about that, it actually was to be a RR grade {generally}, 125 years ago. That is, using the Pennsylvania Turnpike to top the Laurel Hill Mountain.
