I’m online now so… Here is the new diner, we have moved up the speedway to Meridian, Mississippi.
Well, gee, young sakel,
When you move the diner, you are also to: polish the rivet counter, sweep/mop the floors, clean the windows, empty the trash, do the dishes, fill the ice bin, polish the side walls and clean the restrooms!!!
I see you have DONE none of that! get to work!
ALso request from a moderator to LOCK THE old thread!!! Darren {storubridge lion} is a user-mod…ask him to lok the old thread becasue otherwise some of us knuckleheads will still be posting there!

Good Morning! from Tipton IN.

TIPTON
(sakel - Don’t worry about all those “Diner Rules” as it will pretty much run itself.)
Good Morning from KindaHotVille…
It seems to be already sticky out, even if it is only 70F…Going to a high near 85F feeling like 97F…and no rain forecast.
Today, later on in the afternoon I will find out if’n more ding dang fricking fracking treatments are needed…I hope not…
Then, maybe afterwards, going to go by the mall and pick up some things to make the evening go by with a good taste…
Good Morning All,
Ken, good luck, my break lines cost me $1,053.00 but I had to have both front rotors repaired. Well actually they had a sale on the rotors so replacing both front cost the same as the replacement parts. The break line from the firewall to the rear axle had to be replaced. I had to have it done at the dealership so I’m sure I paid top dollar on labor.
I got the bill for my surgery in the mail; insurance covered everything except $25 of the $5,000.00 bill so I won’t mind writing that check. I was expecting a $67,000 bill or something.
I see we hit 71 pages last month….
Gidday All, Meridian , Mississippi [^o)], had to have a “google” , a town with a strong railroad history and a Naval Air Station, trains and planes, got to be a good place for a diner.
Just a quick hot chocolate before bed please. 1142 hours and currently 51 F with an expected high of 55 F tomorrow with more rain.
Thoughts and best wishes to all that need them,
Cheers, the Bear.
Good Morning!!!
Coffee and a bologna sandwich with lettuce and tomato please. Thanks.
Sunny and hot, with a high near 98.
Garry- Prayers going out for todays surgery.
Barry- Hope you get some good news as well.
Paul- Hope your wife gets better soon.
I see DerJohn blew in just in time before they closed the door. Good to see him.
Ray- I think a cell phone is a good idea. I too hate the phone for what sounds like the same reasons you do. The intrusive calls that interrupt things and those that well, just annoy you. Me. Us. I just love those that ask you 'what took you so long to get to the phone?" or when they see you ask you "why you didn’t answer the phone wh
Good morning. Yeah, opening up a business is a lot of work, isn’t it?
New England is under cloudy skies right now. It’s not beach weather, but I’m much happier with moderate weather. The AC has been off for a week, and a couple of nights not even the fans have been running. And I’m waking up much more refreshed from a solid night’s sleep.

Morning Folks
Flo, Coffee Pleases
Called last night and they did not get my car brake lines fixed. All well, I still have Sues car to drive. Break lines go bad was not a surprises, our first Town Car lines rusted out right at 120,000 miles. Seems a little odd. My Road Runners lines are the original ones.
Far as trusting the shop to fix the lines. 2 of the Mechanic I trust, the other one (Bob) is good with what he knows how to do. Throw his a curve, he may very well drop the ball.
Work today from 10:00 to 7:00, then I am off Thursday so I can have the Surgeon’s look at my foot and see how the graft is doing.
Gary, good luck and hope all goes well.
Got some calls to make then off to work.
Ken
Good Morning Modelers!
Another month is gone and a new one at hand. Already 70F here heading for yet another 90+ day by the looks of things; missing those Alaska 60’s I has enjoying last week.
All the digital photos have been download and backups are in progress. Got 25.8G of video downloaded and processes which is about 25% and will still need to get a backup of that still. No travel blog entries yet for the trip posted but will let folks know when each are there.
My thoughts out to all in need… [angel]

Ken: You haven’t forgotten me have you?
Good morning. It’s 77° with 98% humidity. The high will be 95° but will probably feel like 110°.
http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l608/scott-running-bear/cond026.gif
With the high humidity the air is almost liquid and it’s already rather sticky out there. Today is bill paying day and they aren’t going to pay themselves. Most I can pay online but a couple have to be paid in person. Some companies haven’t yet figured out that we progressed beyond the stone age some time ago. I also have some grocery shopping to do. I’m a little short on funds this month as a company I get some of my coins from took the full amount for the last one in one payment and over drafted my account. The order form mentioned installment payments but I never heard from the company on it. The bank paid the overage and slapped me with the overdraft fee. After I receive a coin I got on a credit voucher I won’t be doing business with that company again. Other companies I do business with always charge in installments. As to the rest of the day I may get some layout work in later. If I feel up to it I may mow my parents yard. It needs it. The down side of that is that I’ll have to use my father’s little MTD Yardman as the Peerless is still down.
Well well
Went grocery shopping and spent $39 more than I wanted to.
I could NTO believe how prices HAVE JUMPED IN 1 WEEk!!!
Mayo went up a whole $1 a jar!! Sweet corn on the cob was 5/$1.89 last week, this week 6/$2.98!! $2 cereals went up to $3!! [5 for $10.00](mailto:5@ $100) entrees went to [4 for $10.00](mailto:4@ $10.00)!!! The $2.99 salad mixes went to $3.99!!! A package of frozen chicken yused to come with 2 thighs, 2 breasts and 2 legs for $6.99. NOW it is 2 breasts, two thighs and ONE leg for $7.49!!!
Gonna get costly to get food boy and girls.
SO if the wifey, GF or sig. other asks for MORE money for the food budget, BETTER give it to them!!! Unless you want to starve!!!
WEll, my internet phone is nto working so I suppose I’d better call TIme WARner cable and complain!!!
Have the pulmonologist and a breathing test today to see how little I can breathe later.
So Id best get to things and stuff and dtuff and things!
Oh, Prayer candles for: Garry, Ulrich adn Jeffrey’s mother, and one general one for those in need!

Back home, Folks!
It was only a two day stay, thanks to a ruptured vessel and half a quart of blood in my body. The vessel is “out of business” and the blood has been “pumped out”. Petra just took me home - I can´t really say that I am feeling well. At least no surgery - yet.
Sam - thanks for moving the Diner to its August location. Oh my gosh, it´s August already! Time surely flies by when you got nothing serious to do [:(]
This month will put a heavy drain on our finances - the car tax is due and the car needs to see its bi-annual technical inspection. I hope it passes, but the chances are not too good. After all, it a twelve year old French car, having to pass a German inspection. Thoughts of Verdun come to my mind …
[angel] candles for Garry and Jeff´s mother are lit up!
Have a good one!
Mornin’ everyone!
So… Where are we? Mrs. Ippy, huh… OK. So why isn’t the dinner scrubbed and fit to eat in after the move. Oh, I guess the kid is still learnin’ the ropes… THAT’s OK, I’m used to messes. Zoe, I’ll have a cup of dark roast coffee, just as soon as you wash out my R&GV RR mug and a couple sour cream glazed donuts to dunk in it. Thank you, Ma’am.
Todd, If I get cell phone it will be in addition to the home phone. I can get a “green” plan for $29 a month, but it doesn’t have a lot of so called… ah, “free” minutes. I don’t need a lot of the “free” minutes as I don’t plan to ever use the darn thing except in an emergency anyway. I usually let messages sit on my home phone for a few days before calling the party back (if and when I feel like it…). Got one there right now from a person here in town who wants me to transfer a tape to a CD for her… I’ll get back to her tonight. Maybe.
Ulrich, glad you are back home and hope you are feeling better soon. My prayers for you…
Currently 74°F and humid outside in the Finger Lakes. The high will be in the low 80’s this afternoon with a chance of thunderstorms and such.
Guess i will get to doing some of the many things I have been putting off!
Later!
73
Time to head out to pay the bills, go by the post office, get gas and groceries. See y’all later.
Morning All,
Going to hit 101 today, but low humidity. (it’s not the heat it’s the humidity) don’t believe it. IT IS HOT.
Wednesday is my usual day off, but not going to get much done today. Have to take the wife to the surgeon later for her two week visit after surgery, hope things look good on that front. She has an appointment with the oncologist on Fri, I really hope we get a good report from him.
Still playing with decoder pro and my Tsunami for the GP 9. At some point I will have to upgrade the Digitrax Big Boy system to take advantage of all the functions.
Prayers to Jeff’s mom, Ulrich, Gary, and anyone else I missed.

The Sony radio in my 89 Cavalier quit and I replaced it with a factory one from a junkyard 93 Cavalier and it works. Kids always put in aftermarket radios and hack the wiring all up, my wiring is now back to factory original, soldered and shrink tubing insulated where it was cut. I am so proud of myself for figuring the wiring out. I got a shop manual from eBay when I got the car and that helped. I think factory radios are better for AM talk radio I listen to all the time.
