And, a not-so-Hidden Mickey that I sketched into the rock work...

I like the rear elevation more than the front.
How many square feet?

Oh my, my, my...
Just throw in some crab-stuffed flounder and some seared scallops, and make it my last meal...!

Me too. It's on top of a hill and the rear will be seen from the road and the main approach, so it's the more important elevation to the client.
5,545 sq. ft. heated and cooled, to exterior plates. Kinda' smallish compared to a lot of what we do, these days, but, quite large by my standards.

Well, I arrived at the train station this morning at 7:20, being sure to check the web site for cancellations. They had already cancelled a number of trains, but not my regular one that comes around 7:45ish. Walked up the platform and see the electronic display: my train had just been cancelled!! The next train (if it would come at all) wouldn't be there until at least 8:20, so I called back hubby to come and get me. (Of course, they didn't have the little waiting room open so that people could get off the windy open platform; temperature was about 2 degrees with wind chill.) I then called into work and explained the mess to my boss, and she told me not to worry, to just go home. So here I am at home again. At least they still pay me . . .

No moose, but, I have had elk, which I really enjoyed.
Sounds tasty though, so if I ever get the chance, you can bet I'll eat it...!

It's popular up in Maine, in particular. Maine Game Wardens will donate the meat to a food pantry, or low-income families, if one gets hit on a highway or back road up there. The recipients would then freeze the meat and it could feed a family for quite a while.

An experiment with bears goes wrong, as the bear outsmarts the scientist's set trap:

Uverse is wireless using 2.4 band or 5.4 band?

I have no idea. Honestly I don't even know what that means.

Yeah, I get lost in tech talk. I live with 3 tech geniuses.
Whenever I muck something up, Hubby always says, "But you're pretty".

I'm not in the least insulted, as I also know I'm very smart.
Pretty is relative. Intelligence, you can take to the bank.

 

[Gabe1]

those look delicious!

Given the opportunity visit a Red Robin. These fries are a $1 upgrade. I always upgrade. If you ever leave the property there is one in Orlando and there is one that is in Winter Garden (magic kingdom backyard)

I cant find the "winter garden" one..
The red robin in google maps looks pretty far from WDW.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Much better. I'm a fan of Red Robin's Garlic-Herb Parmesan Fries.

Yes please.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Right there with ya sister friend. Even my 23 year old DD that is 5'4" and somewhere around 100 pounds will not wear skinny jeans. She looks real good in her Express Jeans that are tight enough without looking like someone poured her into them.

I could never fit in skinny jeans anyway. I gots curvy thickness.

Did they offer it on your cruise?

That sounds delish! I've never been to a Red Robin, but I see they are up around these parts!

Need some suggestions here...

Freshman year of college, I kept snacks in the back of my car. They were not healthy, and I eventually stopped doing that because I was gaining too much weight

Now, my schedule is necessitating that I do that again. But I don't want to keep junk in the back there (well, maybe some junk, but not 100% junk). Anyone have suggestions? It needs to keep in the back of the car (nothing that needs refrigeration), needs to be nut-free (shared equipment is not an issue), and of course, should be tasty. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
