Warm here in the West. Stopped at Railtown 1897 in Jamestown, CA. Sierra Railroad #23 was steamed up today and even Santa put in an appearance. It’s nice to be above the fog.

1 degree fahrenheit here in Batavia NY! (A 45 minute drive east of Buffalo NY). Nothing like applewood smoked bacon and hash browns on a day like this! burp! [:D]

Morning. Nice and COLD all around, I see. So let’s have some breakfast.
I have fixed the “nice greasey” things for breakfast: Turkey bacon, sausage
patties, biscuits and sausage gravy, and we have pancakes for little Matt
and whoever else wants them, with syrup; also have oatmeal (not greasey)
and toast.

Also getting two big pots of soup started: beef vegetable and chicken
noodle. Since Mookie is off for the holidays, need some help from you
guys waiting on the customers and loading/unloading the dishwasher.

Turned on all the train layouts; love the sounds of them all.

I would like to help wait tables but the ony tip I get is not to eat yellow snow.
stay safe

Well Joe, that’s a GOOD tip to receive[^]

NEVER tell your wife her butt looks fat in new pair of $50.00 jeans, I’d rather eat the snow frrom around the dog house!

FOFLMAO!!

Randy, that sounds like you are speaking from experience…

Was that in a former life??

Hi, everyone!

If Nora drops by later today, be very nice to her!

She and I had a good time seeing trains along BNSF and UP Saturday morning. She left to return home sometime Sunday and got caught by lake-effect snow in Indiana (We barely had a dusting of snow west of Chicago, but Michigan City had about two feet of the stuff–and with near-zero temperatures, it couldn’t have been too fluffy!). Anyway, she spent the night in western Ohio before continuing toward home today, and was expecting to run into more rough weather on the way.

Randy, I understand you encouraged Nora to have a look at the South Shore. I told her how to go about doing that, but she decided that it was best not to, in the weather she encountered.

^~^ -

Digging and clawing my way out of all the work on my desk.

I am here, finally!

Don’t leave for vacation until this Thursday at noon - then gone to 1/3…so don’t eat without me quite yet!

Mookie

Ok Mookie we’ll keep you spot at the table.Need to get some pot roast and potatoes going.
stay safe
Joe

Joe, I fixed two pot roasts yesterday. Had one in the fridge labeled for
today. Did it disappear?

50 Degrees this morning. Thirty degrees and falling rapidly tonight. Looks like we’'ll be joining all the other ice cubes back east in the deep freezer.

hot cider please!

Well, it’s almost 11:30 here, and I’m getting ready to hit the sack for the night,
and go to dreamland. See you all in the morning with a nice hot breakfast
for you all.

Just finished up part of Mom’s Christmas present - a custom calendar with family pictures. Pretty neat. Now I just have to hope she gets it before the big day.

And cold? I guess it’s cold. Up here on the St. Lawrence it’s actually warming up! It was 15 below at 8 pm, now (midnite) all the way up to -10! I think we broke zero Monday…

Quick snack from the cooler, then I’ll answer the call of my waterbed and call it a day. A good hot breakfast will be just the ticket in the morning. Maybe if they don’t get me up in the middle of the night (again) for a fire/EMS call, I’ll do some “breakfast wraps” on Wednesday morning. Eggs with bacon, sausage, or ham inside a soft wheat tortilla. Pretty good!

jingle ^~^ bells

Larry, those wraps sound very delicious!! Bring them on[dinner]

For today’s breakfast, we’ll have:

western omelettes, oatmeal, toast, jelly, marmalade, jam
and cereal for Matt and anyone else who just wants cereal.

Lunch/dinner will be open-faced roast beef sandwiches with
mashed potatoes and gravy, and macaroni and cheese.

Supper will be: give me an idea, please, someone.[:I][C=:-)]

Smells good. how about some chicken and rice for supper??
stay safe
