Thanks CW that was much better than the stuff they fed me in the cafeteria.
Brian, thanks for your help. With you and Joe, I believe we've got all the birthday decorations up. Thanks, guys!! Your lunch and supper are on my tab today!! And speaking of which: it's now time for our FRIDAY FISH FRY.
On today's menu:
1. Catfish2. Cod3. Widemouth Bass4. Rainbow Trout5. Perch
The side dishes are: corn on the cob, broccoli w/cheese casserole, baked beans, fries and hushpuppies are already on the warmer bar. In the cooler, you will find the cole slaw, potato salad, and chocolate, cherry, peach and pecan pies, along with chocolate cake.
Everyone enjoy, and have a terrific afternoon!!

I can help with that...
Busy weekend coming up here, my folks are coming down today for a bridal shower for our daughter tomorrow. Then it's off to church Sunday, where both bells and chancel choir are performing- no rest for the weary.
Some day I might actually get to sleep in again... probably not until after the wedding!

Joe - bulldozer came through last nite. Missed a few items, but did a good job cleaning. It is slowly getting better. Doing August graduates and will get them done just in time to start on the December ones!
Always come in an hour early - used that time time morning to take a short nap. Someone put sleep powder in my post-toasties.
Nice and cool. Jacket weather this weekend. 80's next week. Ah Fall! Wish Willy would come in so I can hug him for the cool weather and then scowl at him since it will be hot next week. Maybe talk him into lowering the thermostat a smidge.
Got some new pens from Houston Ed. They will be for gifts. They are beautiful. You really should go look at his website. I will let him advertise when he comes in. I have given several as gifts and they are perfect!
Sir C - what a confusing mess on the bridge fire. Sounds like they still don't know for sure who did what.
Someone has a sshhh - bd?
Will wait for details....
Going to tell my cellmates that I have my lids down because I am checking them for holes. Wonder if they will buy that....yeah....they will. Age hath it's advantages. I went from a little suspect to a sage - all in a few years. I love it.
Enjoy the day - back later....

Old Lurch? Isn't new Lurch fixed yet?
Regarding the fire, and so the facts come out straight:
http://www.sacbee.com/291/story/342084.html
Lurch is far from fixed yet. Tailgate does not completely open yet. The company and the two insurance outfits don't communicate effectively. (I feel an "executive decision" coming on.)
Randy; sounds like easy runnin' for you today . We left Bismark at noon and just pulled into Casper bout 1hr. ago .Cool and cloudy runnin'down here .Ghost town ( old town) Is o.k. for a visit nice eats and showers and plug in for puter .Well time for log work then sack time .

Evening everyone,
Thanks for the input on the pictures. I think I've made my decision, and I'll be sending it off to the printer tomorrow.
Hope you all have a great evening, and a lovely weekend. We're almost there!

Randy, if you're talking about the one that has no approaches up to it, it's the old Big 4
R.R. Bridge. Scheduled to become a pedestrian walkway next year. (they're supposed
to have already built sprial ramps up to it, it was supposed to have been open this year)

Okay, I know: I'm running late (on East Coast time) with supper. Sorry about that, guys and gals!
The beef and mushrooms is on the warmer bar, along with everything Mexican, for our MEXICAN FIESTA. All the regular items: burritos, tacos, quasadillas, tortilla chips, and dips, along with a few other Mexican dishes. Hope everyone enjoys, and have a great evening.
Thanks Cw.
And by the way i still love your signiture.
TO ALL MY FORUM FRIENDS: Thank you so much for your well wishes!! You all mean a lot to me, and I don't really consider you friends: I consider you FAMILY. I know everything is going to be all right, and I also know I'm leaving the Diner in very capable, good hands. We have plenty of good cooks around here: Dan, Joe, Larry, Mutt, Ed, and probably a few others, who aren't letting their talents be known to us!! And probably two or three that I've forgotten, too.
For your supper tonight, I am working on: beef w/mushrooms, corn, beans, and we'll also have THURSDAY MEXICAN FIESTA on the warmer bar in about three hours (in case the ones who can't come back after they leave work for home, would like to take carryout). That way, you won't have to cook at home tonight!!
Emma, so glad to see you back, and know you will do very well in your college work!!
.....Paula: This too, shall pass....Look for better walking days ahead.

Just stopping by for coffee and out the door. Leaving tomorrow for DC on Amtrak then a week on the Outer Banks. Much to do in not enough time.
While we didn't plan it that way, we are glad that the hurricane du jour decided to go into the Gulf rather than the Eastern Shore. I am diverting the car pontoons to Ed.
MC and the gang departs Chicago. Will the town ever be the same? Randy heading up the highway. How about a little pool. Guess the exact date when he has run in all 48 connected states.
Got to run myself. Best to all and especially Paula. Travel accomidations have I-net access so we will check in on the progress. Something to do since where we will be has even less trains than Delavan.

Mookie,
The green color is due to the high humidity, not breakfast.
If you like mold, moss and mushrooms, come on down...
Dusty Pheasant, what was the cause of the fire?

Houston Ed - you ate that breakfast and I got heartburn! And you have a tinge of green to your skin....
Good luck with school Emmar! Now I will have to track you and Willy on your progress.
<Sleepy college student stumbles into the diner>
Pancakes? Where?
Can i have 5 or 6?
Well i am back. Right now i am in the middle of orientation week trying to adjust from west coast time to east coast time. Well i have to run off to meet my track coach but i will try to stop in every day and say hi. I might even post some pictures of the Dinky. (A train that comes right on campus. How cool is that!)
Anyway by for now.

Muddy one,
Humberto turned east, is now giving the mudbug folks a second harvest!
High Island is getting its beaches rearranged...some get bigger, some are shrinking.
And I think Mookie has been talking to NASA about remote control for that net thing...
Chris...go with the head on shot...it just appeals more.
There are lots of profile shots, but very few letting that expression on his face show.
How about two eggs over easy, bacon, and cubed hash browns with bell peppers, onions, and a few jalapenos...buried in cheese.
I know you call it potatoes O'Brian; we call it Tijuana Taters...
Sorry Mooks:
No more chicken in a flying tin-can. Back to running around with beat-up ol' Lurch in far SE Colorado. You would have to come all the way across KS (Land of Ah's, as in Ah-choo!) to even find me and Vito, my gunner with a little violin case.
One of the more interesting presentations at AREMA this time was Uncle Pete's little dissertation on the Sacramento/American River bridge fire and the Yellow Peril's response to the same. Even stranger was the apparent cause of the fire. Then there was the chance to meet Wrinn, Yuhas, Kube, Keefe et. al. (no Bergie this time, darn!)...Downtown Chicago will never quite be the same after CShaverr, the Pats and Mud did dinner on Monday...

good morning
chris I would send the top picture.chores are caught up here going to go pester Grandpa.might see if we can take some pictures of rj corman this time on the old nkp line.Mookie do you need some shovels or a bobcat to help clear the paperwork now??CW all will be better in time.Randy keep it on the road.
Larry, that mess is nothing compared to the construction on the Tri-State in IL, that can get real dicey, especially at rush hour.
Thanks for breakfast, headed out now, running through Louisville to hopefully make Lake Station, IN, this evening, see everyone later....
/Kenworth T2000 pulling hard out of diner parking lot//
Chicken in a coop - mixin' up dough... yodel, yodel....
Chris - I would probably go with the first one, but the 2nd one is very intriguing. Something about the eyes being a window....
Or if you want a sure winner - give them the eagle picture!
CW - things are in turmoil here, so if I get trampled in the traffic tomorrow - I just want to wish you the best on your surgery on Monday. Make sure you use a magic marker on the knee you want them to rearrange. And don't get any of those marks on your elbows!
We will keep the diner going - maybe even on a diet. But no one will starve - guaranteed. And we will have coffee on the patio just as soon as you are able to ambulate around again.

Good Thursday morning to all. Nice here this morning, with a current temp of 59; gone down a couple of degrees since I woke up at 5:30, when it was 61. Feels very nice this morning.
Coffee is ready (have both regular and decaf), and fresh juices, lemonade and tea are in the fridge. On the warmer bar, you'll find muffins, bagels and bear claws, along with bacon, sausage and pancakes this morning.
Called the doctor yesterday, to see what I could take for my headache, and they said only Tylenol. And for some strange reason, Tylenol usually affects me the way aspirin does: I start itching all over. So I have been sleeping a lot, trying to let it subside on it's own.
The office said they were getting ready to call me. My surgery time has been changed. I don't have to go in until 9 a.m. Monday, and the surgery is scheduled for 11 a.m. (And I still can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight Suday night.
Everyone have a good morning, and I'll see you all later.
