It's 2012 so what (Formally Cawfee TEA an cocoa fer January )

Still seems kinda strange to me that Cabelas has stores all over the country - wasn't that long ago they were just a catalog store, & the only place you could walk in & buy stuff was Kearney.  I worked for them a while answering the phone about the time they started building all those big stores.

They started the store "explosion" about '05 or '06. My local store was built in '07...worked there 3 yrs. I still shop there on occasion.

[Stu Kettle]

My "local" store is about an hour west on I-80, & opened in '91.  It was their second store & was a really big deal when it opened, but now it's not even one of their bigger stores.  It's in(or just outside of) the same town where their corporate headquarters is, & the same town where they started the catalog business selling fishing lures from home.

[mestiza letty]

Dick and Mary are nice folks, great beginning...Jim didn't travel west. I'm off of I-80 a couple 2,000 miles or so. Most of our trade comes from even further west but Donner pass can be ugly this time of year.

[Delmonico]

The sourdough dump/coffee cake is done, smells great but I'm stuffed.  Take one to work in the morning.

[mestiza letty]

Made the bread last night and fed the starter, was ready for pancakes this morning, fed the starter, ready and makin' coffee cake right now.  Phase of the moon must have been right when I made it, never had one this active before.  If I don't use it for 3-4 days the alcohol goes way up on it.

Just keep Rowdy out of the kitchen

[Arcey]

Just one more day...........

A bright G'Mornin' ta ya'll..

A few clouds, 43° 'n 45%. Sunny, with a high near 45°. West wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

I'd been in on the yearly bet I'd have won a share. In the southside killin' derby, Portsmouth (Porchmuff to the natives) wins again with the first homicide of the year.

The shoot's scribbled 'n ready ta e-mail with the announcement. Ever'thin's prepared for the week's shootin' activities. Reckon it's time ta start year end paperwerk. Really don't like that. Reminds me of being back in the office.

Today, the team from SE Pennsylvania 'n the other team south are no better'n the Skins. They can throw a big playoffs party 'n watch tagether. Neither of 'em's got nothin' else ta do. 

[mestiza letty]

Mornin' y'all,
Thanks for the cawfee WM. We still got the "spring weather" gunna be 58 later and it's 24 right now.

[Texas Lawdog]

Thanks for the Cawfee this morning. Bacon and egg burritos for breakfast.  It's cloudy and 37 this morning, with a high of 50.  The Cowboys did not disappoint me last night. My preseason prediction of a record of 8-8 proved to be right.  Congrats to everyone that made the playoffs.

[mestiza letty]

Broncos made it by the skin of their teeth with a HUGE thanks goin' to the Raiders. Got lots to build on for next year

[Silver Creek Slim]

Thanks for the head's up

[Texas Lawdog]

It's up to 52 and sunny. I've following the AFC teams more this year, mainly the Texans, Broncos, and Bengals. The Patriots are the teams to beat in the AFC and Slim's Packers in the NFC. We gotta a bunch of Bowl games today, especially the Stanford vs Oklahoma State. The college I graduated from in Oklahoma is part of the OSU family.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Houston kinda really took it to Penn State today, TLD.

The Rose Bowl game is turning into a shoot out, too......

[Arcey]

Nice day. Winds never showed up. Guessers miss it.

Good day in 'nother way. Fat lady lost a brake light. Run inta my ex-boss it NAPA while I wuz gettin' a bulb. Exchanged some thoughts we couldn't exchange when I was werkin' for 'im. We both had a chuckle 'er three. Nice guy. Busts 'is ass for what 'e makes. The district a**hole we all werked for got fired. Decided ta leave out where my pistol was when he asked me if I had it in my truck one mornin' – got ready ta tell 'im I had it in my ditty bag locked in his van but I didn't 'n that's where it was. Didn't tell 'im taday either.

Better, Jeff, Corporal Merrill, USMC, come home from California for a couple weeks. Goes back next week for a few weeks then he comes back ta Carolina. New station, transferred er whatever they call it. Ennyways, he'll be able to come home from Carolina when he gets a couple days off. Didn't have a car so he went out 'n bought 'im a new Civic. The high end deal with all the bells 'n whistles 'n blacker'n the dark hole ah hell. Damned pretty l'il thingy. With the 'Bird gone I ain't got nothin' in the barn I can't get out the way. We're gonna stick it in there while he's back in California. Right now he's got it up side the house. So many cars next door there's no where to put it but the street 'n the new ain't wore off yet. That'll keep the weather off'n it while 'e's gone. The man's happy. I owe 'im that much.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Good on ya, Arcey

[Leo Tanner]

That is wonderful Arcey.  I wish Steven were home, but it looks like they are going to move him from Japan to Australia.  Got himself an innernet gal from there he talks to so he ain't frettin about missin one a my meals if'n his boat heads that way.

[Texas Lawdog]

The Cawfee is strong, hot, and ready this morning. I've already had 2 cups. It's a brisk 34 degrees outside. The heater just came on to warm the den. I stayed up to watch the OSU/Stanford game. It and the Rose Bowl were well worth watching.  The Moose fixed us some Pannini's last night for supper. I bought us one of those Cuisnart Grillers. It was my first Pannini and It wasn't bad.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Thanks for the coffee, TLD

19 and dark here, with a light coating of snow. Furnace is working harder now

[Texas Lawdog]

It feels like a bowl of oatmeal is needed to warm me up this morning and some more hot Cawfee.

[Arcey]

A Happy Independence Day ta ya, folkses!

Partly cloudy and breezy, 31° 'n 54%. Partly sunny, with a high near 38° . Breezy, with a northwest wind between 14 and 23 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph.

Wind found us this mornin'. Guessers say it was 'ere yestitty. I musta been in the Bahamas er sumthin' cuz I missed it. Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel's unner Level 1 restrictions - Large pickup campers, camper trailers, house trailers, anything being towed and vehicles with exterior cargo are being prevented from crossing the bridge-tunnel.

Thanks fer the werds 'bout Jeff. The thing'll be more out the way in the barn than ennywhere's else tho.

He come home from yer side once, Leo. Anxious ta get back. His Grand Daddy, Bob, sed there was a girl out that way. Last visit he borrowed his sister's car 'n disappeared a couple days. I tolt Bob he musta been onna secret mission.
