CW did try to get JHH, he answered, but was very busy...so no talking about the weather
or anything; at least he answered, that's good for now.
Emmar, glad to see you back in here, those brownies do sound very good!
(I wouldn't worry about the calories too much, you'll be running them off anyway.)

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").
I'll be calling Jim back after we finish with supper here at home. Hopefully, we'll be able to talk.
I've just taken more pork chops and baked potatoes out of the oven. Fixed more veggies, and everything is on the warmer bar. Also fixed some more garden salads, so everything is ready for supper.
Joe and Lance: containers are ready for you guys for work tonight. They're in the usual location in the fridge. (Right next to the chocolate cake that's defrosting for tomorrow.)
We are under a tornado watch until 10 p.m. EST. Hopefully, it will miss all of us. Winds aren't too bad; didn't almost blow away as we set out the garbage bin for pickup tomorrow!
Looks like that front will be passing through here tonight. Doesn't look too threatening, though, so we'll likely just get wet.
Checked my weather station display just now to check the temperature - 60! Also checked the recorded high and low temperature:

Good Wednesday morning to one and all. No exclamation points this morning: woke up with a headache. Stupid sinuses. But at least the rain is out of here, and it will be a fairly good day around here. Hope you all's day will be just as good, at least weather-wise.
I've made fresh juice this morning, and the coffee is ready, along with hot chocolate and hot tea, hot cider.
On the warmer bar this morning: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, grits, cream of wheat, pancakes, bagels and bear claws.
Mookie, I've got your coffee mug down off the shelf, and ready to pour coffee in, as soon as I see you coming through the door, and a beagle on a plate.

you forgot mookies bib. at least we have plenty of paper towels.cooling off here this morning.matt is on the bus and off to school.
I was wrong - Severe thunderstorm watch early this morning, followed by a warning as a line of storms swept through the area. Area fire departments are busy chasing tree-and-wire-down calls (my departments escaped unscathed), and there is a report of a possible tornado just a bit south of me (in the next county). The dispatch information was that the roof was gone from the house, the car was missing from the driveway, and there were numerous trees and wires down in the area. I'm sorely tempted to run down there, but....
I checked the radar for that time period and did see a "meso" indication (storm rotation - a precursor for tornados) for that area, so there may be something to it.
The skies are clearing now, but we're still supposed to have winds all day.
Tea and a bearclaw. I'll be in my usual booth.

Madamozle de Mook, have a good day at work and look at a train for me. In Carolina this morning, 59 degrees at daybreak with rain expected later. I stayed up most of the night messing with the wireless, so it's back to bed in a few minutes. Ta
Oh Gosh Tom - I almost blurted out something, then bit my tongue. Let's back that up and just say I could have used a little more sleep this morning. Going to have to have my blurt sensor repaired!
You are having weather more that I would expect from the Carolinas. I was having trouble getting past those cold temps.
CW - there is a terrible sinus virus going around and until you get rid of it, you will probably have trouble. It involves headaches, possible dizziness, migraines, balance problems, confusion, loss of memory - symptoms I get if I have to do domestic chores....
Dan
Dan, Welcome back!!! (you're definitely welcome, the Germs aren't!)
"Things" like that are no fun at all, hope you are feeling better.
As CW said, the rain is out of here, still breezy but at least it's not gusting up t0 50+.
Larry, our scanner was a bit like yours last night, our city and most of the suburban fire
dept. here and in surrounding counties had their hands full with the tree, wires, etc.
runs from early evening through this morning.
On a lighter note, interesting run on the scanner earlier this morning; seems a tank
truck hauling a "mash mixture" to one of the local distilleries (Heaven Hill) "lost" it's
load, so they had to close a street down for clean-up. (15th st., right by the P & L yards.,about 11 blocks from our place.)
Tree - are you having a nor'easter?

Nope - The same cold front that brought havoc to Wisconsin through Oklahoma, plus a steep pressure gradient.
....That sounds like rather severe stuff over in Larry's area...That same weather line passed this area 30 hours or so ago and really split as it went thru here, as we had just a little wind and yesterday a bit of light rain off and on. But northwest of us, produced some pretty bad stuff, including some deaths...
Today, a bright day with temps now 40 degrees and almost no wind.

Moo-
By a .22 once but with a needle for the flu no. In hindsight I'd have taken the latter since the former led to much bleeding and angst...but that's another story.
Larry, hope things calm down soon for you all in Upstate New York!!
Dan, never been shot (with a gun) and hope I never am; like you, I'd rather have the shot for the flu (which I get every year).
On today's meal menu: WEDNESDAY MEXICAN FIESTA DAY. On the warmer bar:
cheesy quesadillas, beef & bean burritos, beef burritos enchilada style, enchiladas, fahitas, tacos, cheesy beef nachos, fresh tomato salsa, and black bean & rice tostadas.
Desserts: creamy mango dessert, chocolate cake w/white icing, and yellow cake w/chocolate icing, and fruit cocktail Jell-O w/whipped cream on top.
You out did your self today CW, that Mexican Fietsa is just the ticket for my tummy!
Ole!

Welcome to the club!
CW thanks for supper tonight.larry hope things settle down for you.Time to go get matt off the bus.
Cheerokee Woman, absolutely perfect menu for today, just what the doctor ordered. Fajitas with a "j" though.
Doghouse, sorry about that: guess when I was proofreading, I missed my typo!! I knew it is spelled with a "j", and it is right next to the "h". Maybe I need to get my eyes re-examined.
Everything is replenished on the warmer bar, so everyone help yourselves to a little bit of everything on the warmer bar!! Desserts are on the counter.
Well, I can stop leaning over now. Still a tad breezy, but a far cry from the 30+mph sustained winds (gusts to 50) the airport was carrying all day. Highest gust on my weather station was 30 mph, but I'm in a rather sheltered location.
Time to rummage around for a bedtime snack.
Good Thursday morning, everyone! Hope everyone had a good night last night. Larry, glad to hear that things have calmed down up your way!!
Coffee, juice, hot chocolate, hot tea and hot cider are all ready this morning.
On the warmer bar this morning: oatmeal, toast, bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs, with fresh pineapple in the fridge.
Working on getting the meal for today on in the Crock Pots: pork chop abracadbra w/red potatoes and onion, with corn, broccoli, rice and cornbread as the other side dishes.
Hope you all have a very good day, and I'll be in the kitchen if anyone needs anything.
...Nice sunny January morning here....About 40 degrees now. They have said a bit of off and on rain today, but doesn't look like it's here yet.
