Go Air Force! 

Sunny and cool here today - key word sunny.  We'll take it after the past week or so of scattered you-name-it.

Hot projects - gotta get back to work.  Only got on line to figure out the magnetic declination here so I can properly orient the anemometer/wind vane on the weather station we're installing at the fire station.  It's 12°59'.

Ever onward.

Welcome back, Adrian!  It's good to have you back with us.  Hope we get to see you a little bit more often. 

Produce went pretty well this morning.  No bread truck today,though.  I didn't bring anything home today, as I didn't need anything that they delivered today:  potatoes, lettuce, yellow  goose neck squash and something else, can't remember what it was, though.

As soon as Sarah gets home from Jujitsu, we'll be going to cast our votes.  Just came in from outside, and it is still pretty chilly out.  If the breeze out die down, it would feel better out.

Our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now on the serving station:  burritos, tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, Spanish rice, tortilla chips and dips. 

Cannonball, please tell Shirl "Happy Belated Birthday" for us.  I forgot yesterday was her birthday.  I hope she enjoyed it and had a good day.

You all have a good afternoon, take care and I'll see you all later.

Good morning all. 47 and cloiudy at present, calling for rain later today. We voted absentee last week, so don't have to fight the lines, which is most welcome.

When the tree man got my rotatable antenna free yesterday, I had an enjoyable afternoon on the wireless. Right now, I have a headache, but when that subsides, gonna see what's out there today....

Paula, thanks for breakfast and everyone have a great day

Sup ya'll!  Been busy as usual runnin' around the world fixin' planes and such, but thought this chilly mornin' could use some warmin' up.  Got my boat all winterized yesterday, and decided to get some pictures posted from the last time I went out in September.

Good Tuesday morning everyone.  I hope you all had a good evening.  Well, it looks like the Giants won the World Series last night.  At least that's what I heard on the TV this morning.  We didn't watch any of the series this year.  Didn't want to jinx the National League.  Looks like that was a good decision on my part, at least. 

Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go.  Regular breakfast items are on the warmer/serving station. 

Everyone, remember to vote today.  We'll be going to vote sometime this afternoon, after I get through with Produce this morning. 

We have a current temp of 44 degrees this morning, with fair skies.  Supposed to be a nice sunny day, with a temp topping out in the low to mid 50s for our area. 

Everyone have a good morning, and take care.

Mookie, this meeting, they didn't even provide anything to drink (and with the very cool breeze this morning, could have used some coffee or hot chocolate), much less anything to eat!  Have to go back 11/18/10, to finish up.

Joe, beef stew sounds really good, and that is what we have here in the Flat Wheel Cafe/Diner/CS this afternoon/evening:

1.  Beef stew w/baked cornbread

2.  Grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts w/mashed taters, milk gravy, baby veggie medley, and made from scratch buttermilk biscuits.

Now, in the morning, I have to contend with Produce and possibly Bread truck(?), then Walt and I will, I guess, go cast our votes.  Quite frankly, I'm beginning to feel like we should let them know we are tired of their idiotic ways, and not vote for any of them:  fire them all, and start over from scratch!!

Just made up some homemade brownies, and they are in the oven.  Will be ready to eat in about a half hour.

Everyone enjoy what is left of your afternoon, take care, and see you all later.

That's the problem with CEO's - they are always in a meeting.  Hope she brings home some brownies....Dinner

Hmm, I thought we had an agreement on our lease for the "Flat Wheel Cafe" until the end of the year; guess I was wrong. (wish you would tell my back that!)(moving that "O" Scale layout takes some work!!)

Bob, apparently you didn't see yesterdays comment that I made, CW will be lucky to make it in today, she had a meeting to go to, and will be lucky to make it back by mid afternoon.

Well, I felt a move was warranted. We had 70 pages already and two months may have put us close to 100 and that could have got the admin attention.

CW has some appointments today and will be late getting here, but knowing the boss, she will turn up.

Got a tree man doing his thing in the back yard, and finally will get my oak trimmed along with a rotatable antenna unhung. Be nice to have it working again. Also, gonna get the front fence accessible once again.

Everyone take care and have a great day

Tom

......I'll check in...

No news....Have been house bound now for several days.....Unusual terrible congestive cold.

But here in Indiana today, we have clear blue sky and just light wind.  Must get well to run over the lawn for mowing / mulching leaves....

Looks like a rather dry week facing us here.
