Good morning everyone. Yeah, I am up a little early, but am going to sit trackside for a few hours before our hometown's parade. Well, I'll be here for the pizza fest tonight for sure. Everyone have a great day.

Stopping by to say hello. CW I don't mean to ignore you on the phone when you call, I am usually busy with the baby.

 Pizza sounds great, maybe I will stink around and have some. See if Sadie would let me though

I just got done with some 1st Aid here at work...laceration due to gravity's attraction to heavy objects via a forehead.  I'll have my kit around too.

Mook that ball should take care of any excess energy and aggression you may have.  Not sure how well it'll work in a construction site tho...I do know that it does float so if the liquid sunshine is blessing you it won't disappear!

After last nights' work, I think I'm sick of Pam cooking spray.  A few of us got sent over to the FedEx line to help make the deck panels that go inside, and we use Pam so the foam we inject into the panels for strength does not stick to where we don't want it.  Only downside is that handling the panels after they come out of the press is like handling a greased pig, can't get any grip, even with rubber gloves.

Will take a lot of fish--Going back to Burlington this weekend to see an aunt that is home from Aspen, CO.  We are all going out for a fish fry tonight, should be about twenty or thirty of us there.

See everyone later......     

Randy, I think I got enough fish and sides ready for 40 people (always make extra, just in case).  Hope everyone enjoys it, and hope you have a very nice, pleasant and happy time with the family!!

We'll  be having our FRIDAY FISH with a twist to it today.  I've got the grill fired up, and grilling fish today:  flounder, halibut, cod, perch, and even have some salmon steaks going on the grill.  I did turn on the deep fryers for the fries and hushpuppies.  Also have corn on the cob on the grill.  And there is an ice cart on the patio with cole slaw and garden salads and soft drinks  on it.  

Desserts today:  apple, cherry, peach and pecan pies, along with chocolate cake and brownies.

So everyone take a seat at the picnic tables, and I'll start serving.  Dinner [dinner]

Good Friday morning, everyone!  Had trouble getting into the forums this morning; otherwise, I would have been in about an hour ago.

Coffee, hot chocolate and hot tea are ready, along with fresh squeezed oj/oj-tangerine.

On the warmer bar, you will find fresh baked doughnuts, muffins, danish and bear claws.

Everyone have a terrific day!!

Actually won't know for a month - it takes that long to get the results, since every EMT in the state took the test at the same time.

I don't have a weed problem in my yard - the grass is too high!

Such a beautiful day here today in CR- keep 'em coming, Willy.  I've been taking advantage of the weather and the fact that Joanie is feeling limber enough to drive herself to work, and I've been walking to work.

Dan, I spread the weed'n'feed about a week ago, and am enjoying watching the weeds wither away.

Looking forward to the big chancel choir concert this Sunday, then we're FREE for the summer!Yeah!! [yeah]

Good evening.

Well, there are only three full days of school left! Those days and this weekend will be spent studying for exams. I think world history and chemistry will be my two hardest exams. Spanish and Theology will be the easiest. Geometry, spanish, and English will be in the middle.

Dan - It was said in here a few months ago that I have an evil laugh, but you're the one with the evil laugh when it comes to killing weeds! Big Smile [:D]

Sorry I missed supper, but there's always room for apple pie.

Took the written final for my EMT refresher tonight.  I honestly don't know how I did - which could be a good thing.  About the time you take a test that you feel like you nailed, you flunk it....

Fire Department anniversary this weekend, then next weekend kicks off the season for the Adirondack Scenic, and I'll be "All Aboard!"  It's all part of the show, and the passengers love it.

Supper is out on the warmer bar.  Running a little bit late, but here it is.  There's also homemade mashed taters to go  with it, along with corn on the cob.

Joe and Lance, containers are ready in the fridge, for you lunches tonight at work.

Depending on your aquatic abilities if you spend enough time there you could be called a catfish.

CW I'll snag a bowl of that day old beef stew.  It's gotta be good!  How about some stroganoff and garlic bread for dinner or some other pasta dish?  I had some pasta salad over the weekend and I'm craving some more!

 

Dan, I'm starting the beef stroganoff and a tuna pasta casserole (for anyone who doesn't feel in the mood for stroganoff tonight), right now.  At about 6:00, I'll put the garlic bread and garlic Texas toast in the oven.
