Wow - Slow day at the diner.  Raining here this afternoon.  Must be nice other places.  Houston Ed may have been washed into the bayou.

I'll be back for dinner later.  Back to the print shop....

Yep, Joe, it's in the fridge.  Walt helped fix the containers.  He said to look for the ones that are labled "From Columbus to Cincinnati"!!Evil [}:)]Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]  It should be in the normal location, where I put the containers for you.

Bob, you did a fantastic job on the ribs!!  You can fix them ANYTIME!!  

 

There's still plenty of ribs, baked beans, cole slaw, and other sides, so everyone, come help yourselves to a plate or two!!

Talked with our beloved owner, Jim, today, and he's getting ready to head out to Missouri and his parents' home tomorrow.  Said he'd be back home sometime late afternoon Thursday.

Happy B-Day [bday] A late happy birthday to Lance. Somehow I missed it yesterday.

Very nice weather for tomorrow and then an arctic front sweeps through bringing a little taste of reality. Highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s Tuesday through Friday. Brrr. The cold isn't of any use to me if its not going to snow too.

Hope everyone has a good week. I suspect it will be a busy one at school trying to get everything wrapped up before Easter vacation.

All back to abnormal. 

Belated happy birthday/anniversary to all who celebrated.  I was delighted to see Dan back even for a short visit. 

Full moon out there - so we need to all be a little extra careful!  AND - I just heard a Norfolk Southern Commercial on a local radio station.  It was probably tied in with the WSJ report, but it was great to hear the train whistle and the train sounds!

Lots to catch up on, so I must get busy and prepare.  First on list is a nap!  Any one in the hammock will be looking for breakfast in short order.  (and probably some tin britches!)

Life is good!

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] back, Mookie!!  So very glad to see you back in here!  Hope you are liking the chocolate breakfast this morning:  chocolate cake, chocolate covered doughnuts, chocolate covered Cheerios, chocolate covered Twinkies, and chocolate covered peanuts.

Coffee, juice, hot tea and hot cider and hot chocolate are ready and available this morning.

Things can now get back to NORMAL for us, around here!  Maybe, Mookie, you had it more correct, when you said ABNORMAL.Wink [;)]

Do you have any special requests for lunch and supper today?!?!

Well, since the Mookster hasn't been back in, since earlier this morning,  to let me know what she'd like for lunch today, maybe she will have no objections to my selections today:

1.  open face roast beef sandwiches w/"smashed" taters, beef gravy, cole slaw, green beans and carrots.

2.  grilled chicken breasts w/green peas, corn, and mashed taters w/beef gravy, and sliced tomatoes and cottage cheese. 

For dessert today, we have:  chocolate cake w/chocolate icing, apple cobbler and blackberry cobbler and peach pie w/ice cream.  

I hope everyone likes the lunch selections today, and after you fix a plate, head on out to the patio.  I'm headed out there right now:  I do believe hear a train a comin' down the tracks!!

I'll have a plate full of those chicken *** lunch combos!  Sounds great.  Does anyone in here know anything about the Trainz Railroad Simulator?  I can't get mine to work.

CW - must have special dispensation.  She can say chicken uppers, but Modelcar couldn't on his posting about Hoover Dam and now Dan may or may not be having it deleted.  Maybe the females on the forum can, but their counterparts can't?

I don't know about my having "special dispensation", Mookie.  Can't remember Modelcar's post on the Hoover Dam.   My thought on Dan's post was that he typed it that way.  Who knows, anymore?!?!  I sure as heck don't!!Sigh [sigh]

BTW, Mookie:  did you approve of your lunch selections for today?  I know you always like it when I fix the open face roast beef sandwiches w/ "smashed" taters, for thought I'd take a chance fixing that today.

CW - yes I did.  I noticed a little garlic in the taters - that was special!  Maybe for supper (save me some) maybe, maybe - a cherry pie with just a tad of ice cream.  I am not one for much ice cream, but it sounds good - on the cherry pie. 

Poor dear Mudchicken.....I have heard that a little oil, little veggies, little warmth will do wonders for chicken hide!  Evil [}:)]

Well, I finally got logged on, so I could post the supper menu:  meat loaf, mashed taters w/gravy, choice of cole slaw or garden tossed salad, green beans, and for dessert:  cherry pie, w/ice cream.  You can put how much or how little ice cream you want on your pie.   (I've already put some aside for Mookie tomorrow), and there's plenty pies to go around for everybody.)

ACTUALLY, WALT GOT ME LOGGED ON, SINCE I WASN'T HAVING ANY LUCK.  All I kept getting was a blank  white screen, where the log on section is supposed to be.

Yes, Joe, we're also glad the Reds won today!  We watched the game, too, on FSN Cincy.  It was a good game.  And Joe, you'll find your containers in the fridge, with your name on them, for work tonight.

Everyone have a great evening, and take care, now!!

Looks like I better grab some grub before I get knocked off the air- we're under a severe thunderstorm watch until 5 AM, and it's already starting to get noisy out there.  Could be an interesting night...

Good Tuesday morning to everyone.  Looks like it's going to be a very nice morning and most of the afternoon.  Then, look out:  the storms are a-comin'!!  We are currently at 61 degrees, and will reach a high of around 83, before the storms come in around 5 p.m.

Coffee and hot tea and hot chocolate are ready; fresh juice is made:  orange juice and orange/tangerine, and orange/pineapple.  

On the warmer bar, you'll find all the usual breakfast items:  turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy w/homemade buttermilk biscuits, oatmeal, toast, hash browns, scrambled eggs, beagels for Mookie, and bear claws for Larry.

Everyone have a very good morning, and I'll see you all after Tuesday Produce is over.  (I sure do hope that truck isn't as late as it was last week.  It didn't show up until after 11.)

Brian - it tinkled here last nite. Didn't amount to much. I sent it on your way.

Joe - I was behind Ohio State all the way.  I shouldn't have said it out loud - it may have helped!

Sir Chicken - asparagus ready-to-wear?  Laugh [(-D] There's a picture I want to preserve!

Getting ready for the Easter Bunny - have my carrots right here in front of me.  Hope he hurries or there won't be any left.

Off to get coffee.......

Well, there wasn't much at Produce today:  potatoes (getting kind of tired of them), asparagus, and yellow apples and yellow squash.  I didn't even get anything today.  Mudchicken, there was probably enough asparagus for your border!!Wink [;)]

For lunch and supper today, I thought we'd "go Mexican" today:  tacos, enchiladas, quasedeas (spelling?), tamales, etc.  Everything's laid out on the warmer bar, so you all help yourselves, o.k?  

Think I have come down with a cold, or something.  I'm cold, and feeling achy all over, along with an achy throat.  Think I'll go lie down, and cover up with my blanket.  Maybe I'll feel better later on.

I can handle some Mexican tonight (or variations thereof, depending on what flavor purist you may be).

They are threatening thunderstorms here tonight.  We'll have to see.  Never know, that stuff that swept across Michigan might power up by tonight.
