Like one other greaser who comes to mind, food is one of my favorite things. This isn't a restaurant review, since odds of you being in Oneonta NY are slim, but I will briefly describe the experience.

Seems like all these places are very similar, at least in out-of-the-City NY. When the hotel in which this place is located changed hands a few years ago. A few native Chinese folks were walking the floor and supervising changes made to the decor. It was an improvement, but the place was so empty today at 2:30 that I didn't want to bee so obvious taking pictures. But take my word for it this time: the tables are covered with cloth under glass and the hostess offers "table or booth?". Donna chose table.

We usually order water as the beverage (I use the broth from the won ton soup) which in my opinion is undrinkable. Oneonta is a small city, but its water is chlorinated and I can't deal with that (one of the nice things about having a well at home).

All of my favorite foods (except wings) were in stock, although not as hot as they would have been during busy hours. But I left the place well satisfied.

The second plate is Donna's--she only had one + desert (which she wouldn't let me photograph).



On a less pleasant note: I went out to run the gen, which I do every month and get the mower ready for the first mow which should be in two weeks. The gen ran out of gas and won't restart, and the mower ran and wouldn't restart after I turned it off. My buddy is coming by tomorrow (he got called to the hospital a day early to see about getting his catheter out. He's the guy with bladder cancer). He thinks the mower is an easy fix. I hope he's right, cuz I don't. It's obviously electrical and I don't know where to start. I checked the wires for squirrel damage and didn't find anything wrong.

Donna had another EKG and the results indicate that she had some sort of a heart attack around the time of the first surgery in October. Not sure how much (if any) damage was done. Her general provider really needs to get her a referral to a specialist if for nothing else than to make a plan to keep it from happening again. We both saw the ophthalmologist today and passed. So we're good for another six months although the doc suggest some vitamins for Donna including one that is advertised on TV. Doc says they come in generic.

We bought a 39 inch TV to replace the 32 inch which didn't last long at all (I'd get rid of the TV but princess has to have it). The main selling point is that it has a headphone jack: Id doesn't, but they are suggesting ways to make the necessary connection. Gotta get back to searching for components.

Donna is busting my balls about "all the typing", am I writing to a woman... so I'll tell ya something: she wouldn't let me photograph her desert because it was ice cream in a soup bowl! :) Read that honey!

Happy spring!
