Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Waiting to see how far the thermometer drops into the basement on Monday night. Threatening 93 degrees down to 28 degrees in about 12 hours.

afternoon
Ns was clear after work.Nice weather to be outside.Young Matthew is coming home this weekend.Going to Deshler tomorrow.We'll see what csx sends us.Shenanigans could be possible.
Yeah...looks like I picked an interesting week to visit Denver...
We're getting occasional tastes of fall, with the temps in the 40's overnight. But it's supposed to warm back up again.
That dreaded term "lake effect" is starting to show up in forecasts. At least it's lake effect rain...

Deshler was good today.Csx did run not 1 but 2 q 200's eb today.Q 135 was 1800 ft.Q 352 behind it was reported to be 14000 ft.Q 506 had CSX #1 on it.Time to get cleaned up.
Ns had a coal train in the siding at work today.Mother nature sent a few showers.Going to enjoy my extra day off.
Saw a few trains on the webcam.Matt and I helped our neighbor.He is having supper then going back to school.Sent out hugs as well tonight.Back to work tomorrow.
Took it easy for Labor Day. I did make a trip to town to pick up several things, including "picnic" fixin's.
The folks in Deshler, OH, enjoyed a chicken BBQ put on by the fire department. You could see the line-up for the drive-thru sales on the Deshler rail cam.
A fire department in the Adirondacks gave away their usual truck on Sunday (the "two buck truck") I didn't win, but I don't think I ever got a ticket this year as the RR didn't run so I was rarely in that area.
Darn. Mine has 220,000 miles on it. Time to start thinking about a replacement.
Ns was clear after work.Got muggy this afternoon.Guessers say snow for mudchickens area soon? Chores to do.
Cowabunga!!! It has arrived Mr. Joe.
Went from 94 degrees Monday to 30-35 degrees with snow, snizzle and rain on Tuesday. Snow expected to continue until noon Wednesday. Trees are taking a beating and the 'hood is now blue tarp & tent city.
This year's model of ditchfinders comes complete with a reservations system for proper social distancing in the ditches for Texans, Californians and anyone else not experienced in winter driving (including the inevitable losers driving around on baloneyskins) ....pulled the company truck off the street as a defensive parking measure.
Ns was clear after work.Got neighbors desk delivered.Larry got your message.Think maybe some have figured it out with all the signs we have posted.Chores to do here.
Ns was clear after work.Came home and took care of yardwork.Glad tomorrow is Friday.
Quiet day today - didn't sleep well after a meeting last night. Too much politics.
Had a visit from a census enumerator today. I did mine on-line ages ago. She was looking for my neighbor. And she's a friend. I was able to help her out, though. Crossed another one off her list.
Ns was clear after work.Beautiful outside now.Chores to do.
For the last two days we've been back to chunky style air in the inland SFBA. Very wierdly, the smoke in upper atmospheric layers from far distant fires has been transported here and the worse AQI (light purple level) is right next to the bay (SF and Oakland).
At least the temps have dropped back to almost fall levels from record heat (~105 F !!) last weekend. Very ready for some wind and sprinkles to disburse the smoke ....

Good Morning
Took a walk this morning and checked things out at FC.The ND&W is full.Omni is full of cars to scrap.A friend was taking q 367 west today.The computer models showed they wouldn't make Chicago but they sent the train out anyway.Carl will be sending you some cars to take off the list.
Ns was clear after work.Ran errands in town and Csx sent an eastbound frieght.Meeting in Deshler tomorrow night.Chores to do.
Fall-like temperatures today - frost warning to the north of us, and a promise of colorful sunsets due to the smoke blowing in from the west coast.
Probably ought to change the oil in the snowblower...
Meeting in Deshler.Saw a few trains.Local came south back across the diamond.All went good.Time to get cleaned up.
Ns sent a stack train west and an empty coke train east after work.I heard a csx train as we were running errands but didnt see it. Plenty of good stuff going by.Hope it continues as I play tour guide in Deshler on Saturday.Guessers say high in the 60'S??hello fall.
Tonight we're supposed to have a low in the 60s, and it won't go up much above that tomorrow. However, it seems to have made it into the upper 80s here today, so our new a/c unit will have one last fling tonight.Between the usual research work, a futile yard project (digging out the remnants of an old fencepost before planting the new one), and not feeling well due to the new medication I'm getting used to (at least I hope it's that--the side effects mimic Coronavirus!), I've not felt like doing much lately. If my fever hasn't gone down by tomorrow, I won't be able to go to the Peck House for my usual shift.

Tonight's forecast for the Adirondacks calls for the possibility of a hard freeze. Getting to be time to cover up those tomatoes.
