Dan, WHAT are you wanting for Sunday Dinner?  Just cake and ice cream?  Sorry, but before you have dessert, you will have to eat regular food.  I've made chicken and dumplings, and fried up a bunch of chicken, and have fixed garden salad.

Brian, you'd better be prepared to eat a lot of Angel Food cake, because I've baked one for you also, here in the DD/CS (well, maybe Walt will help you eat it:  Angel Food cake is his favorite cake also).  

And Dan, yes, there's chocolate cake also!!  

Everyone have a terrific afternoon, and enjoy your SUNDAY DINNER!!

Good late morning from Sacramento, CA. I'll be here for the chicken and dumplings later. Dinner [dinner]

By the way, the change to earlier DST occurred with no problems. Even the clocks in my house that "listen" to WWVB automatically changed their time to DST--including my watch! Cool [8D] My computer, of course, updated to the new DST thanks to a patch Microsoft made available for Windows XP Professional.

Nightrain, if you want to lock up the cakes until after dinner tonight, I will contribute a padlock and a length of heavy chain. Captain [4:-)]

Zzz [zzz]mmm...huh? (yawns) Hey, where did the afternoon go?  Last thing I remember was seeing a plate of B-Day cake in front of me...then it goes black and fuzzy...(memory, not the cake!)

Well the chicken and dumplings smells great for dinner!  I promise I'll leave dessert alone until told to have a slice.

Happy birthday Brian!.

Happy B-Day [bday]

Sorry I didn't come on earlier to congradulate you, but the power has been out here all day. Just came back on not that long ago. 

I'm gonna have a big bowl of salad and a large serving of Angel food cake. I was going to make some biscotti but they will have to wait for tomorrow.  I will make then in time for lunch tomorrow.  They are almond and almond/orange. They should be a good complement to whatever CW serves up tomorrow.

Yes we call it the Dinky. Why? Well cause it's dinky! Proud to be the official train geek of Princeton University!

Joe,

I sent you an email. There's nothing changed on my end with my email. Let me know if all is OK that you got it.


Thanks Everybody. Have a great week. I've got a really busy one. Lots of new construction work starting for our waste water treatment plants.

  CW :  we'll have some chick & dumplin's . Cabin fever has reared it's head again . The mere thought of having to eat at the truck stop  ( slop chute ) isn't a good thought . Most aren't bad but our luck is thats' the ones we find .  But that's the way the plate bounces . Brian in KY . , best to you on your day.   Headin out for another load of sand stone slabs  for Idaho.  Hope to see some different color trains for a change .  respectfully Cannonball .

Shock [:O]  Yawn....(just to look at that phrase makes me yawn!) 

Welcome back Kentucky Brian and belated Happy Birthday. 

Weather too nice to be inside - unfortunately my cord won't reach outside.  CW left me a message (I disappear on the first good weekend and don't reappear on weekends until it is really cold!) - we are on our own in the dinner until about Wednesday.  Gah....Who will run the can opener?  Who will pour the milk and coffee?  Who will make sure the chair is pushed up and the bib is on?  (can you tell I have a list of high priorities?) 

I know Joe will help, but not sure I can wait that long for coffee.....

Tree - I tried the garbage one time - all I got was an old sock and some yucky green stuff all over me! 

Well - got my half-glasses on and I will go get the paper and drag it off to the little room off the hall while I wait.

Ray is here......yawns......I will try to fill in and do whatever I can in CW's absence. I understand she's having computer problems of one kind or another. Mookie, I can run the can opener for you, and I can fix your breakfast for you as well. Just tell me what you'd like. O.K? I've got the coffee brewing, I've mixed a fresh batch of orange juice and the hot chocolate is out on the counter. There is hot water for anyone who wants their tea, and the milkman was just here, so we have plenty of fresh milk for miss kitty and anyone else who wants it.

I picked up a large assortment of donuts and rolls from my neighborhood Sunshine bakery on the way into the Diner. I have yet to decide what I will serve for lunch and dinner, but will figure something out.

Morning all.....

Not too bad here in Burlington, WI, this morning, was out and about on vehicle-related matters, dropped my grandfather's truck off for some ABS work, then got filters so I can work on my truck in a bit.  About 45-50 outside, supposed to get near 60 for the next two days.  Snow is melting quick, although the lake that was in the middle of my dad's fields suddenly drained overnight, culvert must have melted through.

A quick breakfast here, then off to the machine shed to change engine oil and adjust the emergency brakes.  See everyone later......

DF - I will take the 70 we are supposed to reach today.  It is slightly humid and with higher temps, the humidity increases.  So we are better at 70.  I am a tad uncomfortable in long sleeved shirt....

I've got the outdoor gas grill fired up and will be ready to start cooking hamburgers, hot dogs and bratts in just a few minutes. Hamburger & hot dog buns are out on the pick-nick table along with plenty of ketchup, mustard and pickle relish. There is also some cole slaw and baked beans/w/bacon. For dessert after lunch we have ice cream bars and ice cream sandwiches in the freezer.

I am considering doing barbecued pork ribs on the grill for dinner tonight. If anyone has any requests or ideas for menu items for dinner tonight, please bring it to my attention. I've got to run to the supermarket to purchase the pork ribs.
