The Breakroom (Seriously, I got open the new one AGAIN!?!)

Morning/Evening DTR been busy today and feeling like crud. Went to a gun show this morning and bought some ammo. Seen an old co-worker there, said they are looking to hire a loco mechanic soon, maybe something good will happen. Said he is gonna put the word in.

thanks for the prayers givin for Bronx. Mom and Dad appriciate it and say thanks! I will get some pic up of Boomer and Bronx sometime soon, It's hard to get pic of them together. Boom likes to hog the camera, and bronx is camera shy. Vet said Bronx has 2-6 months at his current state, mom and dad are gonna make him comfortable for now.

T-rad, i saw AL won tonight. The wife and I were out for dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and watched AL game and the Indiana/Illinios game. Indiana won 27-14! Been a longtime since IU has had a good team and we're proud of the football team they have this year!

Scott, after reading what you posted in the other breakroom...I Hope you washed you hands.

OK so you opened it up but where's the coffee. This ain't your first time around the block. Seriously.

I moved the reactor Crisreyn brought in last weeks room over to this one. I kinda liked the glowing coffee....... and the big red button that says brew..... Here goes nothing.

Ya like the "Porta-Nuke" Home Energy System? its new on the market from Kim-Jung Industries... LOL

Slow night here tonight, too cool to want to do much, down in the low 30's right now, but at least no snow!.

Got the new axle ordered for the horse trailer, thankfully the frame brackets arent damaged and it will be a bolt on/off swap. $ 650 for it delivered to the door, so I guess thats not too bad, including new brake/drum assymblies.

Now its just the simple matter of getting the old one off....

well, the coffee is growing a beard, the donuts are roaming the hallways in packs, and the snoring dragon in the corner is flatuant.....

All is normal in the world of DTR....

Gee, I am entering this joint cautiously after Chris' description. YIKES, he's right. Dumping the coffee, rounding up the donuts, and what is that smell? HORRIBLE - - AND THAT NOISE? YUK. Need the air freshener. Shoooo that hairy monster out of here.

OK fresh coffee, ph00, hot water - - donuts are in place. Now come and get it.

Cool around here this morning - - out about 5 this morning to get paper and it was - - well, let's say - - fresh. 56 degrees. Coldest for this year. Suddenly from lows of 76 to 56 in one day. Wow. Been very warm and humid this past two weeks - - nice cool off.

OK, off for breaky and church. Have a good one - - meet me in church - - dare ya.

Come on Fiver, I won't see 56* again until April or May. (Well maybe -56*) I consider 56* invigorating!

And what was wrong with the nuclear coffee?.........

Hey, I found it to be quite nice out this morning at 5am - - 52 in the lanai. My orchids were shivering and whimpering.

About the coffee - - we won't go there. I couldn't even spoon it out of the pot. I just soaked that pot and found another one underneath the hairy one in the corner - - using it for a pillow. Cleaned it up and used it (boy it smelled four over there by him/her/it).

- - - see ya,

Bob

It was a pretty good game but Bama looked more like they were 22nd instead of SC.
