RE:COFFEE POT #10 October 2010 for all to take a drink and chat. 5+ years and going…Hot Steamed crabs and Natty Bohs too.
5 Years plus AND YOU CHANGE THE MENU ??? !!!
I have had the pleasure of enjoying Steamed Crabs a few times, Not as many as I would like. BUT I have NEVER had the opportunity of enjoying a Natty Bohs, I believe it is some type of beer.
So as a long time member of the Coffee Pot, A member of OTTS, and the “Honorary West Coast Official Casual Member of the Submillimeter Telescope Weather Monitoring Service”, in addition to being the namesake of Baker Air Field, in Illinois. (In addition to Numerous other Coffee Pot schemes, and tactics to numerous to mention.) I am exercising ALL my rights and privileges to have the opportunity of EVALUATING this new menu item. Therefore, FIFE I expect that at your earliest convenience you will send some evaluation units to the west coast for consideration. (Given that they are not available here.) I will uphold my obligations and ensure that the samples are distributed equitably among my fellow Left Coasters. (I don’t expect that their will be serious objections, but we must have the opportunity of evaluation and consideration.)
Whew! Now that the serious stuff is taken care of…
Had a great day today, Presentation in Temecula went very well, then Kay and I went over to th
“Landing a fish through a bed room window” reminds me of the heavy snows in the winter. And spring melting in Minnesota where the flooding of lakes and rivers were over there banks. We went fishing, landing our boats from where the road ends, and the lake was flooded up to. The lakes were so full of water we were fishing in people kitchens, and around trees, benches in their yards. That is one of the reasons why I moved to Arizona…no snow and very little rain. And I’ve seen to many floods in my time. My back is still sore from loading all those sand bags.
Good Morning from the Jersey Shore, 56, cloudy, windy, rain this afternoon.
Today I am planning on splitting some more wood before the rain starts. Otherwise a quiet day, start to reorganize the garage and just relax.
Sturgeon-Phish, Jim, enjoy the pressure washer. I use mine all the time from washing the boats without soap to cleaning the grill.
SJ, relax and enjoy yourself. You worked for it.
Joe, Congratulations on 16 years of marriage. We enjoy German food also. We ahve a local place that serves a duck dish hunter style that can’t be beat.
Don, I was waiting for the Chief to comment on Fife’s change, but you beat him to it.
Breakfast was coffee and a piece of a giant doughnut. We have been invited to a church families house for dinner, I guess they don’t know me very well. Probably won’t get invited back…lol
A very comfortable morning today; however, I am not enjoying it as much as I would like. I was unexpectedly called in to work from 0020 - 0600 this morning. I am pretty tired and still with the crud. Breakfast is a cup of Threaflu. No church this morning due to not being well. I hope to enjoy some football today.
John - I never had hunter style duck, only pork and veal, but it sounds delicious.

Aloha. Kinda down after our mini- family reunion, but I guess it could always have been worse. Hope your Monday is better than last week, Mike C, and that your unexpected work-day went well, Joe. Bear down, Laz. I’m glad the proprietor of Baker Field is doing better. Duarte is allegedly one of the most expensive zip codes in the country.
Natty Bohs could make the trip to the west coast allright. To ensure freshness of the hot steamed crabs (smothered in Old Bay seasoning of course), I will need the services of His Honor’s Lear jet. Sending them via UPS ground might be most unpleasant.
As for the change in menu, what’s the old saying about leaving the barn door wide open…?
Still overcast and 52. Laz, good pictures…Dinner with the church family went well, a nice beef roast with taters and veggy. I am ready for the thingy, banilla is ready as well…S.J.
Home. Told everyone I was at the lake all week. Fished early in the week and then slept and watched TV through the big rains. That was relaxing. Need to do that more often. Did have to mow the grass yesterday as rain made it turn green and grow again. No flooding here or at the lake. Lake had been pulled down to almost as low as last year’s drought up there. Now full again and still coming up. Will make fishing good as most cover and rock were on dry land before the rain. Still caught bass. Was actually sneeking around above enemy lines spreading GRITS all over the Nawth. When it rains, they should swell and turn into Snohio. [:-^]
Fife, thanks for getting the new pot going. Like your addition. [dinner]
Thought I had caught my shooter. Rushed to the range just before dark with loud shooting. Was my neighbor. He had bought a new AK47.
Have to have a discussion with the left coasters as to what we need to do.
Did get to the train meet today, didn’t buy much, just a tow truck.
Did get over to Ray’s place, had a really good time. His layout was looking as good as always. Ran the bridges (elevator, and Bascule) worked pertectly! Here are a couple of photos;
It was partly cloudy in SE Indiana with temps on the cool side. Indy Car season came to an expected end with Team Red winning the race (Dixon) and title (Mr. Ashley Judd). One bright spot is that Vitor captured a sixth for AJ and 12th in the overall points. Sarah probably drove her last race as she will be looking for some one to drive the twisties as well as the ovals (and so she can have a baby as well). Odd how no one brings that subject up around the Princess,who did finish second. Thank you all for the well wishes as I will pass them onto the family. Wife wanted to go see “The Town”. It had an accepatable ending. Reffed a kind of ugly game yesterday and then saw “my” soccer girls win an easy game 6-1. Finally got some needed rain yesterday. I had bran muffins on the dining car for breakfast. TBIL after “Desperate Housewives”. I hope everyone has a good dya.
Good evening everyone. Had a good day of church and a relaxing afternoon nap. I was on camera and between the conference earlier in the week and today’s services, my back is hurting. Had a nice lunch with a couple and their kids as they had watched our kids last night while bride and I went to see “Like Dandelion Dust” at the theater. It was produced and directed by one of the guys who is in our upcoming movie. Quite honestly, it is a good, well done movie, but for a couple like us who have a 6yo adopted child, it was a painful experience. We adopted our daughter from China. One of the main reasons being the way the court system is so inclined to return children to biological parents.
Fife, if you are getting use of His Honor’s jet, you may want to just fly the left coasters back east for the whole experience. When I worked for the fire department, we used to head to the Jersey shore and rent boats to head out to the sand bars. We would walk along the flats and just scoop up plenty of Jersey Blues and toss them into the boat. We could catch so many that you could make a meal just out of the claws. Bring them back to the fire house and boil them in beer. Then, serve them up with butter…YUM!
Don, I didn’t see your photos attached to the email. Looking forward to your latest find pics. Glad you are on the mend and back to posting your fun story lines…keep it up.
Laz, those are some nice fish. It is a great thing that you and your brother have such a close relationship. I know you have been a great support through the tough loss.
Hope each of you have a blessed week ahead.

Good evening all, Had a nice visit with D.Baker and two new friends Don brought with him to see my layout. We had a nice little running session in spite of warm temperature. It was cooler than usual but not cool enough for me. The guys didn’t seem to mind though and Don provided some ice cold sodas for the group. Only mishap was caused by the engineer (me) running through a few switches but that is par for the course for me. I can’t chew gum and tie shoes at same time. I start talking and the trains are on their own. I picked up one of those tow trucks that Don got at the meet too. I think the rigging on the back is just for looks. Can’t figure out how to tow a car with it.
Welcome home Chief. Sounds like you had a nice time at the lake in spite of rain. My Lord! Now it’s AK47’s on Chief’s rifle range. Sounds like you guys are getting ready for a war over there. Didn’t know you could buy one of those things? Maybe it’s not fully automatic?
Saw in paper today that pot growers out here for medical marijuana are being burglarized by gang bangers who are stealing their plants. One guy was shot and killed by a pot farmer. They have a proposition on the next ballot to try and legalize pot for everyone. What’s the world coming to? We have enough trouble keeping track of all the problems with booze. Now this. I guess if enough people want it, they will have it one way or the other. Glad I’m not young anymore. Feel sorry for my grandkid though.
Don, where are the photos from today. Did not come through on my machine.
in Minnesota where the flooding of lakes and rivers were over there banks. We went fishing, landing our boats from where the road ends, and the lake was flooded up to. The lakes were so full of water we were fishing in people kitchens,
and around trees, benches in their yards. That is one of the reasons why I moved to Arizona…no snow and very little rain. And I’ve seen to many floods in my time. My back is still sore
