Morning Yall

Coffee is on. Donuts got locked in the last one. If the want to be here bad enough theyll figure a way in through the window.

Snowed a bit last night. Not too cold though.

Yall take care now. Im off to my umpteenth consecutive day of work since Nov 28th.

Im ready for a break.

 

Nice looking breakroom.

Figure its time for a re-post of one of my favorite disclaimers:

Glad I got that done. Now back to bed for awhile than its time to check on the Corned beef again. Having good Reuben sandwich's for some old folks tonight.

 

A gorgeous good morning from "down here." Can't give the weather report, but will tell you the sky ain't been bluer or the birds singing louder. The cranes came thru the yard about 6:30 this morning to say goodmorning - - they are funny.

OK, grabbing a cup and off to church. Ya'll be good,

Bob

 

Thought I might brighten up the breakroom this week before Christmas with a little home made Christmas cheer:

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
A Friend will calm you down when you’re angry. But a BEST friend will skip beside you with a baseball bat singing ‘Someone’s gonna get it!’

The cffee is almost gone, hurry up and get it before it disappears!

 

^^^ That tree is cool, did you make that?

I like your thought of the Day, I have a buddy like that.

Morning folks.
Upper 30s this AM with clouds on the horizon. That means rain on the ice. Fun times.
Well, just had to make another pot. If its too strong for ya, add some egg knog.

 

Scotty - hate to snow on your parade but the weather-woman on Global just said the system we have right now is heading your way overnight.

 

Jeff, bonfires sound perfect. Take your smores stuff.

You boys stay warm. Cougar, ice doesn't sound fun. Scotty, hope your girl gets rid of that bug soon.
