//leaves hammer for Mookie then heads for the door

Mook you can borrow that for as long as you need.  It can even defeat tin armor with the new upgraded 'business end'.  Maybe I'll get lucky this weekend and get to see some trains on the way to or from the wedding.

The cat has/is undergoing a long stress test.  Let's see how far we can push her with work and interruptions with silly questions before the whole floor needs tin boots!  Let's start a campaign and then midway change the rules.

Dan, not exactly sure, but imagine the cat is busy getting ready for students and faculty to return.  Hope you have fun this weekend, at the wedding.  And yeah, you can bring back some extra wedding cake, if you wish.  Wink [;)]

Our FRIDAY FISH FRY is now underway:  have all the regular kinds of fish, along with some snapper, crab legs and steamed clams; sides are cole slaw, fries, onion rings, baked beans.

Desserts:  apple, blueberry, cherry, and peach pies; chocolate cake, and plenty of ice cream.

Our current temp here in the Louisville area is about 86.4, and pleasant as opposed to the stifling heat we've been putting up with.

Morning everyone.  I won't be around tonight for the Fry and I'll be gone for most of the weekend at a wedding.  I'll eat some cake for all of ya unless you want me to bring you a piece back.  Seems like some things have cooled a bit: good!

Where's the cat???

Good Friday morning to one and all.  Managed to 'cool' down enough here, for me to go to sleep about midnight.  Slept till after 7:30 this morning. 

Coffee is ready, and fresh oj/oj-tangerine, apple juice, ice tea, lemonade, etc. are freshly made and in the fridge.  On the warmer bar:  BLTs, biscuit & sausage 'sandwiches' w/or w/o cheese, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit are available for breakfast this morning.  

Hope they'll be plenty of you in here for our FRIDAY FISH FRY around noon, 1 p.m. EDT!!  You all have a good morning, and Joe, see if you and Matt can bring back a couple cases of Dum-Dum pops!

Hi everyone. Big heat wave. Barb and I toughed it out at Myrtle Beach with relatives in their Fairfield condo. It's good to be back here. It was not a railfan trip, however, after leaving Illinois, I did not snap even one good pic. RATS. One highlight of trip was riding ferries across the Mississippi into Missouri, then driving downstream and riding the next one back. I think we rode them all on the way to Memphis to eat Corky's BBQ
  I will look back through the pages to catch up on stuff. Thanks for the pics,Duff. Pretty baby.

Plenty of salad in the fridge, so help yourself.  And here's a super large glass of sweet tea!!

....J:

The humidity does get thick, especially at that time of morning.  Of course that is what makes this heat so difficult to take.

Just finished mowing...{more like smoothing up the lawn}, as it is still desert dry here, and at noon when I came in here to cool off it was 90.5 and rising.  Had paper towels over my head and under my light colored hat, and that helped....kept it {pres.}, out of my eyes.

Q - I looked out the front door at 4:15 a.m. for the paper and thought we were having a fire somewhere - I couldn't see the top of the street light across the street.  Sniffed the air and decided 1: it was fog and 2: that wasn't the smartest sniffing I had ever done.....

Good Thursday morning to all.  Hope everyone had a good night, and that you managed to stay cool (if you don't have air conditioning) overnight.  

Coffee is ready; oj, oj/tangerine, iced tea, and lemonade are freshly made this morning.  Replaced the Gatorade tanks, and cooked breakfast this morning.  On the warmer bar:  turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, fried taters, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, and all kinds of fresh fruits, from apples to strawberries.  

You all have a good day, stay as cool as possible, and if you have any requests for lunch and or dinner/supper, please let me know.

Since it is so hot everywhere, supper is once again on the light side:  tomatoes stuffed with tuna salad, garden salads w/ham & turkey added, and we also have cantaloupe and watermelon chunks.  Still plenty of ice cream and ice novelties for dessert.  Anyone care for a Patriot Pop, to help cool off?!?!

Joe and Lance, got containers in the fridge, ready for you guys to take to work tonight.

Louisville area had a record high today:  102, w/heat index of 110 to 115.  How high has it been for any of the rest of you today?!?!

Hey, I know one thing we can discuss and share with the diner patrons- "the best post of the day".  For instance, Noah's post in the "UP disliker's club" thread- I'd love to meet him and high-five him after that one.

I heard from my UP source of info (Shock [:O]) that there's been a derailment of a loaded coal train on the Clinton Mississippi River bridge.  Monitoring the local news sites here, nothing on them yet...

EDIT: Found a link with a little info and a picture...
