Back from round one of fishing.  I've got a limit of 25 crappies and they'll yield two filets each. Dinner [dinner] I'll head out and see if I can get some perch...they weren't biting before!

Brian how's that batter coming?

Good afternoon.

Hot and humid here today and no rain until at least Monday. That's about all the news I have for now. Just kind of a boring day, I guess.

I think I'll have some flounder and a slice of peach pie and head out to the patio to eat.

Hmm, still no sign of the Mookster!!  Hope she IS in a meeting, and not sick or anything!!  Since no one took over lunch, and I'm now back from my dr. appt., here is today's lunch menu:  FISH, FISH AND MORE FISH.  

We have on the warmer bar:  cod, flounder, hallibut, perch, salmon and tuna fillets; also plenty of fries, cole slaw, and corn on the cob.  For desserts:  apple, cherry, peach and pecan pies, along with the prerequisite chocolate cake.

Now, I think I'm going to head out to the patio, and lie down in one of the chaise loungers, and take a nap!!

Joe, have Matt bring his fishing pole, who knows what he will catch;

I'm very sure we'll be able to use. ( so long as it isn't old boots, tires, etc.) 

 

I think Mook must at "Secret Fishing Hole" in the Conference Room!!!Wink [;)]

 

Brian, be careful with that "Beer Batter", we don't need the fish "Flopping Around" Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

 

Dan, Take a fishing pole and a six pack of favorite beverages, and go sit on a creek bank!!Thumbs Up [tup]

Morning all!  Must be a Friday as I've got a (cof, cof) case of Lazi-itis and it could be terminal, but likely not intermodal...

I'll wet a line or two to snag some fish.  Be back in a while, hopefully with some perch and crappie!

Good Friday morning, everyone!  Hope everyone had a good evening.  Sarah, glad you enjoyed your 21st birthday!!   And, you're welcome!!

Coffee is ready, juice is freshly made, and there's hot water for tea.

On the breakfast bar:  turkey bacon, sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy, cantaloupe chunks, watermelon chunks, and Larry's and Mookie's bear claws.

I'm on the run this morning:  have a doctor appointment at 9:15, so I'm not sure if I'll be back in time for lunch today.  But I'm sure I've got very capable people around here, who can get our FRIDAY FISH FRY under way.

I've got more burgers, fries, and the seafood extravaganza ready on the warmer bar.  So, everyone help yourselves, and had on out to the patio!!  When the sun goes down, I'll start the ice cream maker, and we'll have homemade ice cream, to go with the birthday cakes.

I'm finding that I'm a hazard to myself lately...LOL...maybe I was safer in the basement! 

It was a good day for a run today.  A nice easy 5k to get a good sweat going.  I'll take some mroe Gatorade and head for the shade.  Wait...that rhymed!

Brian, Better get a larger order of Fries, I don't think there's enough for both of you.

(and I'm very sure he will share) 

Dan, be very careful about borrowing Brian's "Tin Boots" and being around electricity,

you might be in for a "shocking experience"!!!!! Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

Dan, Brian & Larry thanks for helping out!!

Brian & Larry, was Dan auditioning for the commercial that say: "Help, I've Fallen and Can't Reach My..............."?  

EMS is no different than most places and is full ofacronyms. One of the best I ever heard was from an EMT at CY-Fair FD, Station 8, in Houston, where I began my EMS career. He said the above could be stated more simply as "FTGB." That means, Fall Down Go Boom." 

Happy Birthday wishes to Matt and Sarah and to my sweetie, Mark. His birthday is actually the 16th, but close enough to start partying now. He's on the road though. So, I will just have to party for him with Matt and Sarah and ya'll here in the diner. By the way, the 16th is also our 7th wedding anniversary.

Thanks.  Say, how well can you climb a tree (not Larry-I'd squish him!) wearing those?  I bet they're not too good for sprinting either....I think I may have to put the camoflage back on or go back through the basement door.

Joe - I have 9647 on my list with the note - Green Cab....now it all comes together! 

Is there a party tonite - or this weekend?  And don't forget - it is Flag Day.  What a nice way to remember it!

I will watch for it - won't get there tonite, since it time to go get grub for the chuck wagon - but tomorrow pm, will hit the site and see!  They cleaned up the coal and hauled off the bad track - and left a mess - spread around what coal they couldn't get picked up - looks bad along the row....

They could borrow the Driver's shop vac - if they would just ask!
