Flat Wheel Cafe 2nd Quarter 2012

Well, it’s been a good day around Louisville: our high was only in the low 70s, so I took a walk again this afternoon. Very enjoyable. After I got home, helped Walt make a couple of batches of chilli. One batch is mild/medium, and one is definitely 5 alarm. Very good, though.

That’s about it for now, as it is time for me to head to the TV, to watch my UK Wildcats play Kansas. Hope everyone is enjoying their evening, and see you all in the morning.

Wow…{tires}…You must really put fast miles on your vehicle Larry…Seems not too long ago that you purchased that new pickup…

I know time flies though…Might be longer than I remember.

Very nice day here…Full of sunshine. Temps got up to just about 70 degrees. So nice now with minimum humidity along with it. So did the required mowing…Now number 6 completed. Oh, so nice…

I just wonder if this coming Summer will be extra warm…and maybe dry…

Well, I have only one thing to say: They about gave me a heart attack, but. . . . .

K E N T U C K Y W O N ! ! ! ! ! !

OH, one thing more to say: NIGHT NIGHT!![|)] [|)]

Good Tuesday morning everyone. After just 5 and a half hours sleep, I’m up and back in here. Was afraid I’d have trouble going to sleep, but managed to basically right to sleep, after getting in the bed. But it was a good game last night, and the Ky. Wildcats won. Those guys have had a tremendous season, and I wish them all the best. But I hope those 3 freshmen and 2 sophomores decide to stay the course, and not go on to the Pros.

Coffee is on, have the juices ready, and bacon, eggs and toast are just about ready.

Now, to start getting ready for my Tuesday Produce people to start showing up. Everyone have a good morning, take care and see you all hopefully later on.

…And another morning off and running. Lots of sunshine. Very much appreciated.

Maybe some weather later in the day, but very nice now.

We thank Ma Nature for the thick white fire blanket this morning. The Bark Brothers were a little surprised about what Ma Nature’s sense of humor can do to Scotties with buzzcuts.

Good evening all. Been a really good day, all in all. Got Produce taken care of this morning, and while we were doing that, along comes the Bread/Pastry truck. But everything was taken care of, and I was back home a little before 10 a.m. Then, I got busy and paid all those cotton pickin’ Bills that always come around. Then grocery, then nap, and now I can settle down.

Our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now under way, and everything is on the warmer bar:

  1. Tacos (soft shell and hard shell)

  2. Burritos (beef, beef & bean, and beef deluxe enchilada style)

  3. Chimichangas

  4. Fajitas

  5. Mesquite grilled steaks and pork chops (pork chops are about 2 in. thick)

  6. Spanish rice

  7. Tortilla chips w/your choice of sauces: Picante, Salsa and Con Queso <

…Rix, the last time I have seen you on here, it seemed you were in the hospital…sent you a message back.

Everything ok now…?

Q - I’ll have had the truck for three years in July. About 20K miles a year. Working on the railroad accounts for a lot of those miles. It’s 85-90 miles one way, although I usually stay over if I’m doing more than one day. A trip to the mall is 30+ miles for the round trip. Add to that one kid in MD and the other in Syracuse, and no matter where I’m headed, I’ve got some miles to rack up.

Decent day, albeit cool. I was working on a project off the tailgate of the truck when a bit of gropple fell - I don’t think it was hail, but it was about a quarter the size of a BB…

Looking like Saturday will be reasonably nice day for the Easter Bunny trains.

Good Wednesday morning everyone. A tad bit rainy here in Louisville this morning. Not sure of current temp, but our high today is to be in the low 70s, so it is going to be cooler than yesterday. So a/c is turned off. Might have a few thundershowers, although it will probably be south of us, and not looking for anything even remotely severe.

Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar.

The Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus train is come into Louisville today. Originally, it was to be in here this morning, but heard on the news a little bit ago, that it will be this afternoon. A few streets will be closed off for awhile, while the elephants are walked to the KFC Yum Center. The Circus starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday or Monday.

Everyone have a very good morning, take care and see you all later on.

cw thanks for breakfast.time for chores.

stay safe

…Cooler here this morning. Partly cloudy…Might see some sunshine. Don’t really know the weather report for today.

And Larry, as I said…time gets away from us…3 years…! And the older we get, seems time flies a bit faster. 57 degrees right now.

Peace be with you. 61 and cloudy in Carolina, supposed to top out at 87 and cloudy, with a small chance of rain if a thunderstorm happens by. We had a lot of thunder statewide last night and about a quarter inch of rain here. South of us got more, but generally speaking, everything was light.

That series of tornadoes in Tx was awesome to watch. To see an 80(?) foot trailer an estimated 150 feet in the air and tumbling end over end was hard to believe. With all that happened, the area was truly blessed not to have fatalties. The whole mess will pass over us Friday late, but the boffns say that it will pretty much have shot its wad by then. Fine by me!

Everyone take care and stay safe.

Well, the circus train arrived right around noon time at Union Station. Guess the elephants are on their walk, probably just about to the Yum Center. Walt rode his bike up there, but didn’t see him on any of the film footage on the news. I stayed home, because we have a worker, repairing some of the wood in our fence in the backyard. Guess he’s eating his lunch, as when I walked around to have a look see, noticed the passenger door of his truck open, but couldn’t really see him, and I didn’t see him anywhere outside.

Guess sometime in the next hour or two, I’ll be leaving to catch a bus, and go to KMart to see about getting a few needed items for me to take to the hospital tomorrow. Hopefully, I’ll be bringing it back home tomorrow afternoon ,sometime, and NOT spending the night at the hospital. If that happens, Walt will let you all know.

For this afternoon/evening, here is your menu:

  1. Beef brisket w/taters, carrots, onion, your choice of cabbage, brussels sprouts, green beans, corn and Sarah’s homemade dinner rolls (she made some yesterday, and they are mouthwatering good).

  2. Salisbury steak w/baked taters, and any of the above listed side dishes

  3. Tuna melt casserole

…Tom, on the tornado in Texas…and seeing those semi trailers blowing in the wind up in the air like a cardboard box, was awesome…! Believe that’s the largest / heaviest piece I ever have seen in such a tornado image…

Believe the large ones are 53’ in length.

OK Mooks,

Got the net ready? Baltimore, here we come.

Must get longer handled net.

Must be something really interesting in MD…

[:)] CW; hope the outcome of your visit is in your favor. Yesterday was out patient surgury for me. Knife & fork work done and biops proved negitive. Sore but geting better by the day. We hope the same results for you.
