Best instance of martial arts defense came in Indiana Jones-Raiders of the Lost Ark. Indy squares off with the guy holding the sarisan (sp) sword. Guy starts to swing sword, Indy pulls out pistol and drops him cold.
Some of the finest...there's a lot of the finest to go around...wow.

Someone said "that's nacho cheeze!" but I took it anyway.
Dan - the Driver used to do karate with quite a few of Lincoln's finest. I used to watch them in the state games - would not have wanted to meet any of them in a dark or lighted alley!
Joe - our landlord uses a mower, a trimmer and a leafblower, about every 3rd day. Wonder if our rent will go up.....
Lunch over - nap time.....
Oh - rain here and there and headed east - Brian put your boots on!

Good afternoon, folks! Dan, thank you so much for fixing lunch today! It was after 11, when I got back to the house from Produce. Then I took a very short nap.
We served 62 people today. Had two trucks deliver the produce today. We got potatoes, apples, lemons, lettuce, orange juice, limeade, fresh pineapples, bananas, and sweet potatoes.
Dan, think I'll continue the Mexican Fiesta for supper tonight. Sounds pretty good to me, and I'll have everything on the patio by about 6:30 EDT this evening. We'll add quasadillas and enchiladas, along with some other Mexican dishes tonight.
I've got the nachos cheese/meat, and chips plus taco meat, lettuce, cheese, tomatos, olives, and tortilla shells on the warmer bar. I've also got some refried beans, sour cream, guac, salsa (mild, Mid, and HOT!) plus some taco sauce for other condiments. Ole! Eat up!
I also got two more jobs today:-Head Bouncer at a local bar-Lead Personal Trainer for the Police Departmentso now I've got plenty to do to keep me busy when I'm not at my 40 hr/wk job! Plus being in here...
afternoon

........Hang on to your pocket books.....The pumps have been changed here in Muncie to 3.59 this morning....That's 30 cents overnight....{Supply and demand...?}, Believe I could find another name for it. The powers to be want that Memorial Day holliday up coming money. And this is in mid country, not on the coasts where it seems extremes come more quickly.

Wish I'd seen it in action - they were on a siding, taking a break, I think. I probably could have chased it in the evening, but I had stuff to do at home.
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
Ugh...is it morning alread? I dressed in the dark this morning and think I must have grabbed my 125 year old birthday suit. I think it is the high humidity doing the dastardly deed this morning.
Tree - aren't those grinders fun to watch. We have the whole set up through here quite a bit - the grinders, the inspectors, the "munchers" as the Driver calls them (ballast) and who knows what all. We have also seen some rail trains going through to parts unknown. When they are all connected, they look like a long, yellow, rather large worm.
Still have a bobcat on the premises, but we are undergoing a complete landscaping now. Parking lot out back should be safe for cars in about another day or two. They did a nice job and also sloped it for run off - I know - I dropped an apple this morning in the dark and could just barely see it as it rolled away from the back door. I dare you to try that half-asleep in the dark! - Or just learn from my experience!
Nite...

Good Tuesday morning everyone! Looks like another beatiful, but very, very warm day today (at least in the Ohio River Valley).
Coffee is on, fresh juices are made, and there's hot tea brewing for our tea drinkers.
On the breakfast/warmer bar, you'll find all the usual breakfast items, including some fresh pineapple, cantaloupe and watermelon chunks and grapes.
Everyone have a great morning, and I'll see you all after I get through with Produce Tuesday.

The chops are even good warmed up!
Was on the road today for work, part of which route put me alongside the CSX Montreal Secondary for a while. South of Philadelphia, NY, I saw something out of the ordinary - yellow, and looked almost like passenger equipment at first glance (I was driving, which meant I couldn't stare - much). Turned out to be a rail grinder - a first for me. They'd definitely been working - the center of the consist was black. The person riding with me noticed that, too.
A couple of hours later, a fire department up the line a bit (at a point we'd passed before we saw the grinder) got called out for a grass fire, undoubtedly started by the grinder and missed by the track car driver who was following them.
The funny part was the description apparently given by the person reporting the fire, who said that a train had passed the spot about 45 minutes earlier, and was generating a lot of "black smoke..."

For everyone else, the pork chops and sides are on the warmer bar, ready for you all to fix your plates. Such a lovely afternoon, and looks to be a very good evening, I've got everything set up on the patio. I hope everyone enjoys their supper!!

Now Mookie, you KNOW you all can have whatever you want on your sandwiches/club sandwiches!! And here's a big spoon for you (cooking size spoon)!!
And Bob, the drinks will be a definite plus!!
I'll be firing up the grill between 2 and 2:30, so it's ready to add the pork chops at 3 EDT, just in case anyone would like to take some home with them to share with family tonight.

Did someone say "Iowa Chops"?

anyway - yessssss on all the desserts. Just a big spoon will do!

Jay, glad to hear you had a good time on your trip. Really, really like your pics!!
Coffee is brewing, and fresh orange juice and orange-tangerine juice are ready, and chilling in the fridge. Have some tea brewing/steeping, and will be making iced tea in a few minutes.
On the breakfast bar this morning: fresh cantaloupe and other melons, including watermelon, along with turkey bacon, sausage, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, fried taters and hash browns, scrambled eggs, and country-fried ham w/redeye gravy, and grits.
Mookie, I used my "Gopher Grabber" and got your coffee mug down for you. Would you like coffee or hot tea in it this morning?
