.....Heat wave. Much better than yesterday, with that pesky wind. 7 degrees early this morning and it just turned over to 19 degrees now. No wind, that really makes a difference when we're talking cold temps. No snow yet, but we're expecting some over night up until tomorrow afternoon. Very brief sunshine today...mostly overcast.

Our High Temp yesterday was -3 with w/c of -37. Started this morning at -12 with w/c of -40. Currently we're at 0 with w/c of -10. Time to break out the summer stuff!
I'll take a plate of whatever's hot.
CN sure put on a show yesterday. I saw units from UP (ex-CNW and ex-SSW), BNSF, WC, GTW, plus the 'regular' CN stuff. Nice to see some color on the rails. Now if I could only get more ex-CNW stuff up here that'd be great!

Ray, hope you get in to see your doctor, and get some medicine. Have had upper respiratory infections, and they are not fun, at all! Whenever I had one, along with an antibiotic, I was on muscle relaxers at the same time.
Lunch and supper menu today: leftover meat loaf and trimmings from yesterday, along with a big pot of beef stew and cornbread. Joe, Lance, and anyone else who wants, fix yourself some containers to take home/to work tonight.
You all take care, and have a good, warm afternoon.
It's pretty cold here in Sioux Falls, right now we have a temp of 1 degree above 0, and the wind chill here is at 18 below 0. The weather conditions here were about the same yesterday.
I knew I was coming down with something when I left work yesterday afternoon, and now I know I have a full blown resperatory infection. My head sure hurts. I am going to try to see my doctor within the next couple days, I know that I am not going to get rid of this crap in my system without an antibiotic prescribed for me. I just took 2 tablets of Tylenol for what good it would do me. Now I need to call my employer and let her know I will not be coming to work.

Good Monday morning, everyone! Hope you are all toasty warm this morning. We are currently at 15 degrees, but I think, with the wind chill, they're saying it feels like single digits out.
Got plenty of coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea for everyone this morning. Also plenty of oj, oj/tangerine, grapefruit juice, apple juice, whatever kind of juice you'd like this morning.
On the warmer bar: turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, oatmeal, toast, hash browns, tater tots, scrambled eggs. Plenty to warm your insides, and fill you up for the outside weather.
You all take care, have a great Monday morning, and stay warm and safe!!

....10.8 and dropping hourly. Never got above 12 plus during the day but started out early this morning at 15 plus something. Up to 40 mph wind with it too. Don't know how strong it is now, but the trees are moving around quite a bit. Sky is clear.

whew.thought I'd come here to warm up.the wind is defineately blowing up some serious snow squalls out here.feel bad for a traincrew in hamler.seems they have a problem with the train in emergency.and csx is cleaning up a mess in cleveland too.Cw thanks for supper.going to wear extra layers for work tonight.
A mild 21 here right now, but breezy, with lake effect warnings for folks to the south of me tonight (1-2' worth). The sun is peeking through a high overcast here.
The wind is apparently having an effect on the highways - numerous cars off the road and a couple of more serious accidents as well. A good day to hang around the house.
Rix - Try mixing the beans with another low-budget staple - mac & cheese. It's no where near as bad as it sounds.

I'll take the meatloaf with shelly beans and potatoes right now!
Sacto, good to hear you got your puter problems solved. Ray, sorry it's so darn cold up your way. We don't have it that bad today. When I woke up this morning, we were at 35, and about 45 minutes later, down to 31. Not sure what the temp and wind chill are right now, though. Haven't looked.
Desserts today: apple, cherry and peach cobblers w/vanilla ice ceam.
Everything is now on the warmer bar, so grab a plate, and fill er up!!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
Sorry for my sanguine tone, but I just fixed a particularly NASTY problem with my Internet connection by switching from my old EarthLink Domain Name Server (essentially, the computer that takes commands from an Internet access program to search for and go to different web sites) to a server from a company called OpenDNS. Not only did it solve my problem, but web surfing is actually faster because OpenDNS servers have multiple servers backing each other up for maximum "up time."
Can I have a preview of tonight's special dinner in celebration?

A bowl of steaming hot oatmeal, topped with cinnamon and sugar would be perfect for a cold morning like this. Right now we have 7 degrees below 0 here in Sioux Falls, and our wind chill is at 30 below 0. I wonder if any of the rest of you folks out there have got it colder than this. My sister is going to run me work in about 20 minutes, so I am not going to freeze while walking to work.
I hope the rest of you have a good day, and stay warm!
Good Sunday morning. Glad to see the ones who came in last evening!! Joe, thanks for getting everything going this morning. Really appreciate your help around here. Either choice sounds good this morning. I'll fix some cinnamon toast to go with the oatmeal, if you want, and pancakes and sausage sounds good, too.
If anybody needs anything, I'll be in the back, working our Sunday Dinner menu: going to surprise you as to what we'll have to eat this afternoon. Have a good morning, and since the temps will be dropping all day, stay warm, dry and take care!!
good sunday morning
the temprature is going to be the warmest right now.the wind is howling outside increasing the wind chill.we have juice coffee and hot chocolate.how about warming up with some oatmeal this morning? or we have pancakes and sausage.time for matt to go to sunday school.
Breyer's chocolate chip and mint vanilla coming right now. Scrapple-eggs-cheese for breakfast tomorrow. Then it will be beans and sardines for the next two months due to job displacement. B&S sustained me during my son's college days, and for my own time in college it was peanut butter and Welch's grape jelly on toast; PBJ's!!!
Looks like tough times ahead, but like I always say, "to get there you have to be here, and to get here you have to be there."
Any recipes for the penny-pinched?

rixflix aka Captain Video. Blessed be Jean Shepherd and all His works!!! Hooray for 1939, the all time movie year!!! I took that ride on the Reading but my Baby caught the Katy and left me a mule to ride.
Smoking!!!
A major part of my diet for about 40 years. It started with a Kent after a climb up Neversink Mountain to watch trains at Klapperthal in Reading around 1958. I was 12 (and I've always wished I'd be there again, re: Robert Louis Stevenson's character Captain Nares in "The Wrecker") but the exertion and a few puffs made me too dizzy to continue. In Vietnam the people even rejected the awful Kents as barter. But by then it was Lucky Strikes for me. Luckies always tasted better (LSMFT) than Camels, which were reputed to be factory sweepings.
I changed to Camel Filters in the 80's and today bought a carton with all new graphics. A circle for all you former Luckies people around the daggone Camel. Heresy!!!
OMG, Joe the Camel looked like the human male's (ahem) "apparatus".
I've got a three month supply of nicotine patches 1-through-4 on top my fridge. I'm waiting for the will to use them.
Hope the above doesn't upset your dinner plans.
I remain,
Yers

What really concerns me is US 301/52 are only a couple hundred yards away, and I would really hate for her to get hit. Right now, she is on lockdown until we can find where she is getting out, even if it takes a while
Aside from the fact that she'll take off and you'll have to chase her again - let her out while someone hides and watches. She'll tip her hand soon enough. Might take a couple of tries.
Evening

Tom, if she's like our dog, (Huskie/Shepherd mix) she uses her nose to dig out/under.
When my Sheltie mix was a pup, she quickly found several spots where she could wriggle out under the fence. Some surreptitious spying helped us find those spots which were quickly blocked with flat stones (a couple of which are still there). She never took off, though. We'd put her out the back door (inside the fence) and a little while later she'd show up at the side door (outside the fence).
Good afternoon everyone. Thanks for the calzone!
