Good Friday morning, everyone.  RANDY STAHL!!!  So nice that you came by yesterday!!  You should drop in a see us more often.  You can email your colonoscopy stories, and I'll definitely read them!! 

Larry, believe it or not, I'm not really having any trouble sitting down.  I remember nothing:  they gave me some great pain medication before.  If I remember correctly, one was Darvon, and I'd never heard of the other pain med, so I can't remember that name.  

On the breakfast bar this morning:  doughnuts (all shapes, sizes, creamed filled, vanilla filled, etc., muffins (strawberry, blueberry, apple-raisin), and bear claws.

Everyone have a good Friday, and if you're getting rain showers, be careful out there!!

Willy, Thanks for sending some Much Needed rain to this area. This is one time I'm not going to complain about it raining so much.

Hope the other team wasn't the Louisville Bats, and the movie tickets are for a really good movie.

Baseball games ARE a very good way to spend an afternoon! 

The movie tickets are actually for any movie we wish to see rather than a specific one.

The other team was the Denver Zephyrs. Sorry Chris and Mudchicken, but I guess the Royals are just better than the Zephyrs! Big Smile [:D]

Busy night here on the forums. 

Nice night here - if a tad cool.  Beats the hot and humid when it comes to sleeping, for sure.

CW - Watch that diet - no fun not being able to sit down.....

VACATION!  Off tomorrow through next Sunday!  Several days on the railroad, and several days to get caught up on everything else in my world.

Daughter called tonight to see about borrowing the Digital Rebel to shoot a friend's wedding in August.  Apparently it's a real low-budget affair and the posed pictures would have been catch as catch can by the guests.  Laura can give her a CD with lots of great images.  Works for me.  At least I know the camera is in good hands.

The Dalmatian is getting restless.  Time for a walk.

Well, the Omaha Royals won nine to nothing. They just killed the other team. On top of that, I won four free movie tickets by playing one of the between innings games. Not too bad of a way to spend an afternoon!

CW - Take it easy and rest. We'll keep everything going here in the Diner.

Sorry to hear you were subject to a colonoscopy , certainly not the best way to spend a day . I have many humorous colonoscopy stories I could share with you at some point .. another time perhaps ...

Here you go Mook.  I won't laugh a bit-promise!  I will take the chunky and get that ready for later. 

Since there was lots of steak and taters left from yesterday I'll get the grill out and heat 'em up again.  I also have some french fries ready (Plate for Matt!) and for dessert will be strawberry cheesecake!

Willy - it can't be that - you don't go to any of the Husker FB games.......

So now we are down to just the College World Series as a showpiece.....

Dan - can you reach the peanut butter for me?  And don't any of you laugh while I try to get it off the roof of ma mouf....

Walt - did she say "Ahhh"? 

Sir Chicken - if you wash de Boyz, do they fade? 

I think I have my eyes open a little now.  I wasn't sure this morning if I could do 1.5 more days or not, but I might just make it, now.  Daughter in town - Mookie is going to get a ride through town in a canary yellow Mustang convertible - with the top down.  It will take weeks before I get back to anything close to normal.  Wonder if the darn thing has an anchor and parachute....

I need to lie down awhile....think I am having a panic attack....

Good morning everyone!

It is going to be beautiful here today. Lots of sunshine and a high near 80 degrees. I shouldn't forget the fact that dewpoints are going to be in the 50s rather than 60s and 70s too. However, it looks like by Monday and Tuesday we could be facing upper 90s for highs. Crazy Nebraska weather.

In any event, it looks like a nice day to go to a baseball game. Of course I'm sure that the Omaha Royals will suffer a horrible defeat since they seem to lose every game I go to. Perhaps someday I'll be banned from going to ballgames. Shock [:O]

TTFN.

Walt I guess I got spoiled because our humidity has left the building for a while and lately mornings have been pretty nice!  I don't mind helping out, heck it's only fair!  I get to play mechanic at work today.  We've got 4 pieces of equipment that need some TLC and I drew the short straw!  Kidding...I like tinkering with things.  The more expensive, the more fun!  One of our treadmills cost several thousand dollars and I have to replace several parts inside the motor of one and the computer on another.  If anyone smells smoke later it's because I'm coming back from getting electrocuted!

Dan, thanks for taking over the "Cooks Duties", I know that it's appreciated.

Duff, that is a very adorable picture of Sadie, and I understand why you're so proud.

Mookie, could have used some of that "daylight" getting one person off to work, and another one off to the doctors office. I think I'm ready for a nap!!

 Thought me and little one would stop in. I'll take some fries, and I hope no one minds me breastfeeding my little one. If you do, let me know, I don't want to offend. Hmm, Fries, and a burger, a Swiss mushroom burger, and a large Sprite, no Pepsi, it'll make Sadie fussy. She doesn't like the caffine. 

Things are moving along quite nicely, me and John got done with preparing Sadie's room, and it looks awesome in there. I can show pictures but I have to brighten them up for them to show.

Just thought I would drop by, Both of us are going to sit here and watch the trains go by now 

 

SADIE IS ALREADY WALKING?!Shock [:O]Shock [:O]

Gotta be a "child prodigy" Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

You know you all are welcome any time.

(you gotta do what you have to do with "Little Ones")

(and I doubt seriously that anybody will mind) 

I'm very sure Matt will share fries with you all, he's been very good to the rest of us.

 

Dan, thanks for that info. will definitely have to look into it.

Was already thinking about those "fake" video cameras. 

And for Quentin, just finished cleaning the 12 guage, hope I don't have to use it, but someone Might think twice with a load of double ought buckshot in their behind! 

 

Just an FYI for everyone, CW may or may not be in the rest of today or

tomorrow due to a certain doctors appointment tomorrow.

So she's not going to be able to do things around here.

(nothing serious, routine stuff, but none the less......) 




 

 

 

I amost wish she was walking *notice I said ALMOST* 

That pic was my favorite one so far of her. I just love that face of hers.  

I dunno if later I will turn my baby into a potato freak, Mommy is already one. But if that happens, there will be no shortage of them here in the Diner.  

A night time cup of decaf tea should do me, then I am hitting the hay.  See you all tomorrow, if things aren't too crazy around here

We had a cold front come through here yesterday afternoon, and right now the conditions here in Sioux Falls are much more comfortable. At the present moment we have a temp of 81 degrees and the wind is out of the north at 14 mph. And one more thing.........the humidity is 33%, and that makes a huge difference here, as at this time of the year it could be much higher than that. Perhaps Willy has been doing something constructive with his weather machine. The guy who does my yard for me was telling me that he sure wishes it would rain here. And I must admit, it is kind of dry here.

I had a late lunch after finishing work at Wendy's, I had a bacon & cheese potato, the Black Forest Ham & Swiss Frescata sandwich, a medium Sprite and a medium chocolate Frosty. I walked into a disaster this morning at Wendy's, there was a ton of stuff waiting to be washed, which I figure was left over by who ever had closed up last night, and every time I'd turn around the manager would be asking me to do something else. So all in all it has been a pretty busy day for me. I won't complain though, I'm just happy to have a job to report to!
