Good morning everyone. At the present moment we have a cloudy, overcast sky here in Sioux Falls, and a temperature of 34 degrees. The wind chill puts us at about 29 here. Our weather here is quite mild, when in the month of January it could be a lot colder than this.
I think I'll grab a bear claw or two while I am here in the Diner. It's good that Cherokee Woman provides us with good stuff like this for breakfast, it's much appreciated.
I will be busy in my kitchen baking bread later this morning. I use all the old fashioned, traditional methods when baking bread, where everything is done by hand. I do not use a bread machine. I have been treating a number of the people that I work with at my part time employer with a loaf of freshly baked bread, and I will be making a couple deliveries later this afternoon. It's fun to surprise someone with a fresh loaf of homemade bread when they are not expecting it.

Good Friday morning, everyone! It's a "nice" rainy morning here in Louisville, with a current temp of 61 degrees. And even with rain most of the day, we're supposed to get up to a high of 78, 79 degrees.
Coffee is ready, juice is made (regular oj, and oj/tangerine), hot chocolate and hot tea are on the drinks menu this morning.
I have breakfast ready: doughnuts, muffins, bear claws and bagals, along with bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, and scrambled eggs are on the warmer bar. Ray, thanks so much for the fresh baked bread you brought in last night. Appreciate it!!
Hope everyone has a great day. Be careful and stay safe out there, and hope you see lots of trains today.

Mutt- Either that or it means our bodies are prematurely falling apart a little bit at a time.

Evening All,
Willy, Thanks for the new batch of snow headed our way. The old stuff is either disappearing or starting to look terrible. 4-6" is manageable, and will look nice if I decide to go do some picturating. As long as you avoid the one foot plus totals, you'll get no argument from me.
Kathi! It's good to see you in here. It's nice to know that the folks at Kalmbach have time to stop in for a bite to eat at the Diner from time to time!
Well, I guess I must be on my way. I have a couple tasks to accomplish this evening so I can have a free weekend. I found a place in Denver that rents out a lens that, as far as I've been able to discern, doesn't exist. Of course that did nothing but stir my curiosity. Will post some details after the weekend is over if it goes through.
Must be on my way now. Hope you all have a good evening!
TTFN!

I'll have a couple slices of bread along with soup. Pass the butter, please.
A New Year's welcome to Kathi K. She is the writer of no less than two feature articles in the current issue of Trains. And, with the others on the staff, she has had to take on extra duties while waiting for the appointment of a new Associate Editor. Andy Cummings, a young man with very impressive credentials, has taken that job. Perhaps he will drop by the DD&CS and best wishes can be offered.
We just spoke with Mookie a little while ago. Driver's (Ed's) eye surgery went o.k.;
and he seems to be doing well. Mook is taking off tomorrow to take care of him,
and should be back in,on Monday.
(Good LORD willing,and the creek don't rise! )
(or more of Willy's snow! )
Ray,Thanks for the bread!! It should go VERY well with everything!!

A MESSAGE FROM THE #1 BAKER
I have been busy working in my kitchen this afternoon, baking bread. I am dropping off two loaves of my bread at the Diner for everyone to enjoy.....and it's still warm! It should go well with CW's vegetable beef soup.
Some fish sticks, fries, and cornbread sound mighty good for this evening!
My first day back at school went fine. It was just the same old boring stuff. The good news is that I'm done with gym class forever. Replacing gym class this semester is speech.
It looks like there is some more snow (4-6 inches) headed for Denver. I hope Chris and Mudchicken don't mind too much.
Willy
Kathy

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").
Afternoon all -
Wow! Not only did the 'Coffeeshop' over on the MRR side of things have to 'close down' and relocate to new 'digs' but you guys as well? Kalmbach must be paying a fortune for all of these 'moves' to bigger/newer digs!
Anyways, just wanted to stop in and wish everyone a Happy New Year albeit 4 days late!
Take care!

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

SactoGuy, send me the recipe, and I'll make it for dinner/supper tonight.
On the lunch menu today: beef vegetable soup w/cornbread, cream of broccoli soup, grilled cheese sandwiches and PB&J sandwiches (so you have a choice of sandwich), and fries.

morning
cw no problem.always happy to help. will take a quick breakfast today. Dan ghezuentite. heres a tissue.
Good Thursday morning, everyone! Looks like we here in the Louisville area can expect some rain, possibly heavy, coming in sometime this afternoon. At least it isn't snow. We're supposed to reach a high of about 58 degrees today. So far, I'm liking this January weather we're having.
Everyone have a great day!
Good evening everyone! Well, Sarah and I went out for a "lady's only" afternoon out, doing what "most" women love to do: SHOP. We've been home about two hours now.
I typed the wrong month this afternoon, when I asked about Januray birthdays. Joe, I do have B's birthday listed, and also Ironken's on the 21st. Are there any more January birthdays? The month I don't have any birthdays listed is April. Mutt pointed out to me that I DID have B's & Ironken's birthdays listed for January. I beg a thousand apologies!! Please forgive me.
