THE FLAT WHEEL DINER AND COFFEE SHOP, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER

Thank You All for the Birthday Wishes!!!

Quentin, I really haven’t figured out if the years go faster or not. (there still aren’t enough hours in the day!)

Ms. Mook, you are welcome to join in partaking the kibbles any time you want, although, I think they just changed to the “Adult Formula”.

Morning. I am up for some reason or other, so I may as well open shop. Treat yourselves to the bar and fountain areas. Enjoy yourselves.

42 and clear in Carolina, and gonna stay like this for a couple of days according to the boffins. Then, in time for the weekend, things will go south.

The tree man is coming back later today. Apparently, he didn’t do such a great job on unhanging my rotatable antenna, cause it’s hung up in the tree again…

Everyone have a great day.

Good Tuesday morning everyone. Gee, I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck or train this morning ( that’s what going to bed at ll:50 does for you, when you have to get up at 5 a.m.).

Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, etc., are fresh and ready to go. Regular breakfast fare is on the serving station.

Things should be back to normal at Produce today, so imagine it will be this afternoon, before I make it back in here. Everyone have a great day, take care and see you all later.

Hello.

Welb, I had a few surprises thrown at me—namely a heart attack and a diabetes as well–

Hence I had not been around for awhile–but here I be all awake and energetic—[:P]

Right now we are at 55F and sunny as well, I just took a nice walk down our street to the dead end part and watched a few CN and CP trains go by the bridge–

Have a good one peoples!![swg]

That could certainly take a body out of circulation! Welcome back[#welcome]! It’s good to know that you are able to sit up , walk around, and join in the threads again. It sounds as though the diabetes is under control, and the heart attack has been tamed.

Wow…very sorry to learn of your misfortune, but also very glad that you’re on the rebound.

Watching trains regularly is very threapeutic from what I’m led to understand. [8D]

Wow, Barry. Your surprises are big ones . I am glad that you are doing better, and it is good to see ya back at the diner. Take care.

be careful Barry.Nice day to get out this afternoon.Saw they dirty dirt train.It takes sediment from upper ny to a landfill out west.thanks for supper.time to get ready for work.

Well, I finally made it in here, after being absent since early this morning. Our high today: 76 degrees and plenty of sunshine.

Since I’ve not been around much today, here is the choices for supper:

  1. PIZZAS: cheese, Hawaiian, Pepperoni/mushroom and supreme

  2. Grilled cheese sandwiches w/your choice of vegetable beef soup, chili, or cream of broccoli soup

Barry, sorry to hear about the heart attack and diabetes. But am very glad to hear that you are mending well. Take care of yourself, and keep in touch with us here in the Cafe/Diner/CS.

Everyone have a good evening and take care.

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Starting out the day with 44 degrees here in Louisville, KY this morning, going for another 76 degree high today. Isn’t Indian Summer nice? The nice Indian Summer weather must be why hardly anyone has been in here.

Coffee, juice, and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Regular breakfast items on the serving station.

Everyone have a good morning, and take care. Maybe I’ll see you all later.

Good Morning!

Got some photog stuff I’m getting ready to do–hopefully the fog will lift enough that I might get something in the way of trains![:P] I be going out with a friend of ours doing the driving around the coutryside thing–e found a bunch of abandoned ROW’s so hopefully these areas are still open enough to get some shots in–seems that a lot of these areas have been getting closed in/up with fencing and security anymore[banghead]

Anyhooooo----

Thanks for all the well wishes guys–I’ve been behaving myself–exercise everyday–have to finish off the driveshed extension but I done had a compressor say–thats it! I give up! --on me. So, another part of the trip is to go pick up a new compressor to finish off the finish work—grrrr[|(]

You all have a good day[swg]

Beautiful sunny day on tap here, by the looks of it. Nippy for now, but it is November in the north country.

Got a small list of goodies to do, and I’m still waiting on the town highway guys to come and help install some equipment on the fire department’s radio tower.

I suppose I ought to get going…

…And another nice Fall morning in our central indiana area…Blue sky, and bright sunshine. Might get close to 72 today.

Changes are a-comin’. It is spitting leaves and rain and only 48 degrees. Very winter looking day after 72 yesterday. Blankets back on after being off last nite.

Weather like life - constantly up and down…

…Don’t know J…Weather people continue to say, sunny most of our week. Maybe your “nasty” Fall stuff", will go take a look at northern Great lakes area and Canada.

Afternoon all. I’ve put out some cold cuts for lunch. We’re going out for supper tonight, so you all will just have to fend for yourselves. I’m sure you all can do that, and don’t need me around.

Everyone have a good afternoon and take care.

CSX is doing a track survey today, using a low flying helichopper. Local media is reporting this and sez it will be flying at around 300 feet. Haven’t heard or seen it yet, but that’s not unusual for me not to.

CW, how could you say we can get by without you? It won’t be the same with the bosslady missing, but as you will. You deserve the time off for a change. Enjoy.

This is not yet confirmed, but it looks like I will be going into the hospital Friday for a day or two. I will know for sure tomorrow afternoon.
