doglegg, your beautiful photos reveal that you are being blessed with some good weather.
I'm wondering if I should try and do my own taxes this year.
In a few minutes my sister will depart for LA and her two week cruise. She will be sorely missed.
peace & health

Re: First Cup Diner!
Morning folks, 57 was the low gonna get to the mid 70's. Sez Nikki Dee. Critters are fed and the dishes warshed and put away, wampus wuz on his throne being his regal self.
We had another big Joe scramble with bacon and toast this morning, shore wuz tasty.
I slept in this morning, didnt sleep all that good early on, my ole shoulder is paining me something fierce I may have to get a shot in it. I don't like steroids they mess with my blood pressure but I may have to bite the bullet.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there.

Here is my tricycle. I still haven't figured out what's slipping when I peddle it.Hopefully removing a link in the main chain will fix it.____Dave

Maybe someday enough will be gone that I will no longer notice .. ... ..
Pot's singing. Yawl have a grand weekend

Re: First Cup Diner!
Good morning. I'm off to install a butcher top counter top and maybe do a little trim. At noon we'll head over to a restaurant for a free meal and a seminar on install Smart Board siding to see if we have been doing it right all this time. This weekend is supposed to be a mess of snow, rain and freezing rain. The weather people have been all over the place on how we will be getting wet and don't seem to have a solid clue what's coming but all agree something is. Nothing is planned for the weekend outside of the usual. Have a good Friday.____Dave

Re: First Cup Diner!
Good Mornin', Folks.
64° this morning, a bit foggy and the forecasts have changed, again. Yesterday had a tiny shower when we were eating dinner, then the sun returned, some clouds during the evening. Late local news was worried folks wouldn't be able to see the lunar eclipse earlier this morning. I suppose it happened, had the eclipse happened when our children were young, we would have gotten up to see the event. The rough weather according to the forecasts will be on Sunday.
We picked up a trailer full of pruned vines, limbs and dead limbs that never stop falling. A price for having a lot of big mature trees in the yard.
Not sure what we'll get into today, most likely it'll be something outside.
This big ol' mug of coffee sure tastes good this morning!
Y'all be careful out there today.

Re: First Cup Diner!
Morning folks, looks like 58 wus the low 83 expected sez Henry the weekend guesser, he's getting a early start looks like. He's talking some bad weather heading our way late today and all day tomorrow. Wouldn't make me mad iff'in he's wrong.
Critters are fed and the dishes warshed and put away. Wampus wuz on the tractor seat, he sez hiiiiis.
Buddies day at Hooters.
Had a fine supper last evening at the Red lobster with my son, dil and grandson. We try to get together at least once a month for a meal, always a pleasure.
Old shoulder is still aggravating me so I don't expect much work getting done around here.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out.

Re: First Cup Diner!
I stayed up watching the final game of yesterday's round two of the men's SEC basketball tourney. Kentucky played newcomer to the SEC, Oklahoma. Kentucky blew a nice ten-point lead in the final minutes and with about five seconds left, Oklahoma took the lead by one. Somehow Kentucky managed to get the ball in, down the floor and in the basket just before the buzzer to win by one. It was after 1 AM by the time the game ended.
Before going to bed, I went outside and took a gander at the moon which was partially eclipsed at that point. I didn't tarry long but it was interesting to see.

Re: First Cup Diner!
Mornin' guys and gal. I woke up early and I'll wolf down a quick breakfast on the way to do a show in Leander this weekend. I was surprised to get a table. It is usually a well attended show so I am anxious to see how it goes from a sales standpoint.
Our weather continues to be mild to almost hot. I am in shorts and Tees with the current temp at 65º and I suspect it'll get to 90º or at least near that later today.
Hope your day is a good one.

Re: First Cup Diner!
Good morning. Yesterday, after lots of internet digging, we found out what that trike that I posted pictures of is. It's called a Velomobile made in Michigan as an answer to the energy crisis in the 1970's. About 5000 were made, they are very collectable, and they have occasional rallies in Michigan. Now, along with my 1930's Elgin Twin Bar bike, I can join two PPV (personal peddle vehicle) clubs. I wonder if they have diners? I think I'll settle for coffee with you guys. I peddled the Velomobile a little the other day and my left knee, which has a bakers cyst in it that only gives me grief when I do stuff that irritates it like roofing a house, let me know it doesn't like my new old trike. Today I plan on cutting out a new windshield for it out of a piece of polycarbonite to match the old one that was cracked, and some time Jason and I will need to tear into the transmission to see why it skips or jumps a sprocket, mostly in first gear. I think I need to start collecting knives again. I'm running out of room for my bicycles and Jane wants the garage space for the car. She doesn't seem to mind me bringing home another knife, but gets upset when I drag home another pendulum wall or shelf clock (which I'll admit I have way too many of) but another bike or trike makes things a little tense and It's harder to slip in un-noticed. Collecting multiple things does keep life interesting, but also makes the kids and Jane nervous about the idea of me dying and leaving them to deal with stuff. Friends tell me to let them know if I plan a rummage sale because they will come with a truck, and if I die, a big truck so I don't see a problem. Have a good weekend. It's raining on my parade here.____Dave
