Phoenix at the end of the month. Flying out and back. I'd take the train, but I don't have time this go-round.
I should have some time to do a little train watching, though. I'll have to do a quick search - I think someone asked about that not long ago here on the forum.
Nice and sunny today. There's snow in that there forecast, though.
Speaking of forecasts - where's Willy? Don't recall him being around lately.

We're getting light rain right now. Supposed to have some ugly stuff come in later this afternoon, and evening. Supposedly, all the mess will be out of here at or around midnight.
Mookie, wondering about your post this morning Of course, I stay half the time, anyway. As evidenced to the next paragraph.
Larry, got an email from Willy during the holidays. He's been very busy, and hasn't had a chance to get in. Sorry I forgot to mention it earlier. He asked that I say "Hi" to everyone for him.
The first huge Crock Pot of Pork chop abracadbra w/potatoes, onion and other side dishes are ready and on the warmer bar. The other Crock Pot is cooking on low, for supper tonight. Man, does this kitchen have a very tempting aroma coming out of it.
Desserts are: sliced apples w/caramel sauce, chocolate cake, and apple and peach cobblers. Also have plenty of ice cream, if anyone wants any on whichever dessert offering you prefer.
Got a little rain here in NC, but still in a severe drought conditions
Any who.....Mexican dinner was great last night thanks!
And those Magic Pork Chops sounds good for lunch today! Thanks CW!
Got a call from dentist office and they owe us $64.50 for over charging a few months back, now ain't that nice....

CW - we had spit snow for awhile this morning. Then it snowed like a tatcher. Now it is sunning all over the place....ah weather!
Tree - you are going to leave all that snow and cold in January? You aren't going to be there to enjoy all of it? Need someone to carry your luggage?

Light but steady rain here in Aurora right now and getting a little cooler (42F now) out, so it is going to be one of those evenings to stay inside and keep warm and cozy. My better half is cooking a hearty beef and vegetable stew with biscuits, finished off with chocolate chip cookies for desert....YUMMY!!!!
Eolafan, just one word: YUMMMMMMY!! Maybe I'll make beef stew with all the veggies and biscuits for tomorrow! But, for tonight, the other Crock Pot full of pork chops, taters and onion is ready and on the warmer bar. Along with all the desserts!
Joe and Lance, containers are ready for you guys to take to work tonight! You both even have an assortment of the desserts on today's menu.
Been raining pretty good around here. From 3 p.m. to about 4:30, our weather radio was going off like there's no tomorrow. Our area is still under a tornado watch, and south of us, from Hardin and Larue Counties to down Bowling Green way, they were under a tornado warning. Someone in Elizabethtown, KY in Hardin County, emailed pictures of the flooding they've had to our local meterologist at WHAS tv station. Hope my relatives down there are all right.
Speaking of people doing all right, wonder where Mudchicken is: haven't seen him around lately, that I can recall.
Everyone take care, and have a good, safe, and dry evening!!

I'd rather not go, but duty to family and all. I do plan on checking out the live steamers there, though. There's one that runs in a park in Scottsdale, and a club that runs on Sunday afternoons on the north side of the city.
Hi everybody. I know I have been a little scarce (well more like MIA) but I decided to take a little study break and pop in for a visit. I am currently studying for finals and trying not to have a panic attack. I have my first final (spanish) tomorrow and then I'm off to Deleware on Saturday for a track meet. College really does keep you busy. Nice thing is I get a week off after finals and my mother is coming out to visit me. We are planning on taking a day trip to Cape May (in Jersey) to go bird watching and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good trainwatching spots or train museums anywhere between there and Trenton.
Well I think I'll grab myself a pork chop and run off to my cave and study.
Everyone have a happy Friday.

tree68 , Is that the one at Mc Cormack park on no. Scotsdale rd. ??
If so ,the park is an interesting place to see and enjoy. Hotels and resturants close at hand. Maybe we can link up when you are there. I am 65 mi. from there, but no problem to meet a Diner patron and a conductor to boot. I just need your schd. eta.

Good Friday morning, everyone! So far, feeling much better this morning: headache has subsided quite a bit this morning, and that makes me feel better! Hate going to sleep and waking up with a headache!! Our rain is out of here, except for maybe a few sprinkles this morning. Temps aren't supposed to go very far today; currently about 44 degrees, and high today is to be 45.
Emma and Cannonball, glad you both stopped in last night!
Coffee is ready, juice freshly made, and hot chocolate, hot tea and hot cider are also ready.
On the breakfast menu this morning: danishes, doughnuts, muffins, bagels and bear claws.
Mookie, got your coffee mug down, rinsed and ready to pour coffee in it, as soon as I see you comin' through the door! Even have a couple of 'beagles' on a plate, all ready for you! And I'll meet ya over at the rocking chairs, for a quick girl chat!!
You all have a great Friday morning!!
Cw - I am here and ready to rock. Brought some headache pills with me - I too had one this morning. They are rampant right now with sinus infections and I just can't seem to shake this one. Doctor said to rest and drink lots of fluids - so I think we can do both.
Here it is Friday already. Have mixed emotions about that. Like a little time off, but haven't recovered from the last big time off. Think I have the January Blahs!
morning
matt is off to school.a bit drizzly here today.ns was busy last night at work.they still have a couple horseys hitched in the siding this morning.heard a report that ohio is becoming more earthquake prone? that could be interesting.here mook matt left some crayons for you if you want to color all that paperwork on your desk.
Yeah! Friday!
Coffee and bagels for me please. Thanks CW!
Got a little rain and some more coming today, but still not enough to make a dent in the drought!
Going on a road trip this weekend to the Great Train Expo in Winston-Salem, NC and then to the Replacements china and tableware warehouse.
Cheers,
...Central Indiana has a heavy overcast sky and just a bit misty at times this morning. 37.8 degrees at the moment. Nothing severe or snow to happen in our area today and that's a good thing.
It really is Friday but doesn't seem as important to a retiree as to the 5 day a week worker...But looking at my watch, I can confirm {to myself}, it really is the weekend.

Modelcar, I am envious of your not needing to be a "clock watcher" in your retirement...and I vow to throw my wrist watch away after I retire in about six years (give or take).
....Jim, it really does take on that sense since retirement occured. I used to be looking forward to Friday as much as the next person but after the 5 days a week stops....one seems to settle back and it diminishes much in importance. In the 15th year of it now....

I'll be on-line while I'm there, even if it means hitting hotspots. I'll get there on the evening of the 30th, leaving early on the 6th.
That is the park to which I am referring. Last time I was there, there was also a live steam "layout" there, but that was several years ago.
Quentin; I can see where you are comin' from. My ( work week ) now has 6 saturdays & 1 sunday . The 21st. is my day from Sociable Security so her said from the soft cushy chair. Gee what a tough job for her HEH HEH. But now we can see the trees off the road , instead of rippin' by on the road. Ahh life is good.~~~~~ Even with no cure for hiway wanderlust. Hope all is well with you fine folks .
...Cannonball:
You should slide into the process better as time moves on....Although I seemed to be into it pretty good the first day after it occurred.
Now in your retirement, you should give a bit of thought swinging back thru Muncie and take a look....If you haven't been here for a while it will probably look quite different.
Heavy manufacturing has just about been eliminated...Something Muncie was famous for many decades in the past.
Seems it is evolving into a massive size Ball Hospital complex....and ever adding size to the Ball State University complex. Those two employ thousands and thousands of folks now.
Of course massive building in retailing has expanded much too....Especially along McGalliard road west. But we've had a great renovation in the "old business district" of downtown Walnut St. too. A brand new business building is in place now where the former Ball Stores building was there on south Walnut...Downtown is looking much better.
Our FRIDAY FISH FRY is now under way. On the menu today in the fish catagory: cod, perch, salmon patties, hallibut, haddock, and shrimp. Side dishes: corn on the cob, fries and hushpuppies, and cole slaw.
DESSERTS: chocolate cake, apple, peach blackberry and blueberry cobblers, apple, cherry, peach and pecan pies.
Believe our temp is still holding in the low 40s, but it sure does feel cooler here in the house. Enjoy your lunch, you all, and have a good afternoon!
I've fried more fish, fries and hushpuppies, made fresh cole slaw for supper tonight. The fish choices are: cod, haddock, hallibut, perch, salmon patties and shrimp. Fresh sides: corn on the cob, fries, hushpuppies, and cole slaw. Desserts are same as at lunch: chocolate cake, the cobblers, and pies.
Good Saturday morning. It's going to be a very cool day around here. Our current temp is 33, and we're only supposed to get a high in the upper 40s. Then, tomorrow, a chance of snow flurries & light snow showers.
Coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate and hot cider are ready. On the warmer bar: sausage, scrambled eggs, hot homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy, and fried taters, country fried ham w/red eye gravy and grits.
Bundle up so you stay warm outside, and have a great day!
yes a cool day in nw ohio too.CW thanks for breakfast.Matt and I are going to go trainwatching somewhere.Not quite sure where yet.Matt will have his bibs and boots on for sure.we'll be back in time tonight for pizza.
....A little surprising to see we're at 30 degrees and down in Lousiville just a few degrees warmer. Right now, the sun is rising and the sky is mostly clear....so our day will start with some sunshine. Believe we'll have a chance for some snow flurries or snow showers over the weekend and sometime this coming week but so far no forecast of accumulating snow. That's a good thing. If we can keep January moving along as it is now, pretty good. It's 1/3 behind us now. Another good thing.
Also today....the sun rises one minute earlier now....so we're starting the down hill run now to more daylight. {In the morning}.
