B’ville isn’t any closer to home, but if you drive up US 11 to Governeur you’ll be about two miles from my desk at work…
Stopped at UWOSH this afternoon on the way back from the family farm to drop a couple of odds and ends for Matt. Not many students in sight, but stepped out of the car just in time to hear loud cheering from the open windows of the dorms.
Foamer is probably correct, but you didn’t hear that from me. My brother is an owner.

Hope everyone has a good morning, and everyone take care!!
M…o…n…d…a…y…
Yes ‘tis. But got a little windburn on my punkin’ this morning.
In the 50’s outside; needed a fan inside overnite, tho. Heading east, so enjoy.
…Not as hot…mostly sunny during this week with just a chance of a bit of rain later in the week.
A comparison to how dry we’ve been this season: 2006 mowings to this date=44 This year {2007}, to this date: Mowings=30 so far…
Looks like my grass is trying to recover a bit now since we’ve had a little rain here and there, but not near enough yet…So mowing is in store today…Even if just to even it up.
Is it Monday…Have to look at my watch to see what day it is…Problem caused by retirement.
Mookie, I noticed your low temp in Lincoln, this morning! Would have loved to have that here this morning. We still have a chance for afternoon showers for today and tomorrow; so, that means it’s still fairly humid around here.
Posting the lunch menu a tad bit early: have to go out for awhile, and I won’t be around at 11:30, 12:30, to post today’s lunch menu.
The warmer bar will still have breakfast for those in the midwest and west coast, along with the following for those in the EDT time zone: leftover Italian spaghetti w/garlic bread, garlic Texas toast, and garlic breadsticks, and there’s still pizza left from Saturday night.
Have pork chop abracadbra in the Crock Pots for supper tonight; please let me know what veggies you all would like to have with the pork chops, and I’ll make sure they get fixed, and ready for anyone who wants to take containers home or to work for your suppers tonight.
Larry,
Thanks for the welcome. I have enjoyed reading the D.D.& C.S. thread for sometime, but didn’t have anything to contribute until last week. I apologize for the typo that said that I would be going to S.E. Michigan. My brother actually lives in Bridgman which is in S.W. Michigan. His house is only about 1.5 blocks from the CSX (formerly Pere Marquette) line, so I get to see several trains each day, including Amtrak which runs both north and south daily on the route from Grand Rapids to Chicago, when I visit there. Last spring we drove to Michigan City and took the South Shore into Chicago. That was an interesting trip.
John
Joe,
Thanks for the information about Hicksville. I will check it out the first chance that I get. Have a great anniversary! We will eventually cross paths at one place or another.
John
Still have the lunch out on the warmer bar, and have added the pork chop abracadbra w/the following veggies: green beans, corn, creamed potatoes, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and applesauce w/a little bit of brown sugar and cinnamon added.
All are welcome to look under the counter, and get to-go containers, if you would like to take supper home with you for tonight.
//grabs to-go container
I’ll take some of that home tonight- the weather here isn’t very favorable for grilling chicken, which was the plan, unless you like soggy grilled chicken or a smoke-filled garage.[C=:-)]
I snucked in and found one little piece of chocolate cake.
Quite alright! Oddly, I lived a short distance from a Pere Marquette line myself - CSX’s current Saginaw Sub. Doesn’t see as much traffic as it used to, though. Last time I was there I didn’t see a single train on it…
Quentin; Sittin’ here in SLC. with the load to Bismark S.D. Does your week day calender have ^6 saturdays & 1 Sunday ?? LOL Takin’ on fuel & checking the fluids to complete the D.O.T. daily list of things to do. Sack time coming on fast . Yep your right bout Joe Pine , maybe thats how Howard Stearn got started . Joe was nasty but not like Howie . ~~~~~~ Well its’ Shirls turn first to drive in the morn. Catch ya’ later , Cannonball & Shirl .
…Boy you “guys” really get over the road…Almost makes me wonder how you figure were you are when you wake up in the morning…Must make it a lot more doable with the both of you running the rig…
6 Saturdays and 1 Sunday…Well, you know it’s almost that way…I really do forget what day it is sometimes during the week. Retirement will do that to ya…
Sunny side up and happy motoring…
Next time you’re in town you should let me know but that’s your call.
I won’t hold being an owner against your brother. Everyone has moments of weakness! LOL!
Good Tuesday morning, all! Looks like it’s going to be a nice day!! Coffee is ready, and I’ve made fresh oj, oj/tangerine, pineapple juice, and tomato juice. Also brewed fresh tea for iced tea, and have more tea brewing for breakfast for hot tea drinkers.
On the breakfast/warmer bar, you will find all the regular breakfast items, along with some western omelletes (sp?), and pancakes and waffles.
Today is my last day to do Produce Tuesday for awhile, and I think I’m glad to be taking a break from it. Of course, some of the people I will miss; but it’s going to be very nice, not having to worry about each week for awhile. Will turn my cards and sign-in sheets over to someone else this morning. Going to let her start calling out the #s this morning, so she can start getting used to it.
You all have a good morning, and see ya later!!
[:-^] hmm, mmm, hmm… [:-^]

Since it’s such a nice, cool day, for lunch today, I’ve made a big ole pot of beef stew w/cornbread, and a big ole pot of chili!! Everything is ready, and on the warmer bar.
We had 80 people show up for Produce this morning. They delivered salad mix, yellow peppers, corn, green beans, and potatoes. They also brought 25 watermelons. So only the first 25 customers got a watermelon.
I got several well wishes from some, after they realized that this was my last day, until about the first of November, to be around for Produce Tuesday. But, with people griping and complaining about this and that (as people everywhere will do), maybe I’ll get adjusted to not being there on Tuesdays!! I do know that after five years, I do need a break from it!! My nerves are about shot!!
You all have a great day, and I’ll see ya later!!
