....Rain gauge in last 24 now = 1.35". Cloudy and temp in low 50's.
On and off rain most of this week. We of course need the rain but this is not as "nice" as last week's, 70 - 80's....

Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Well, our rain guage showed 4 inches of rain, since noon yesterday, when it started raining here. My neighborhood, where I grew up, has gotten right at 5 inches. Supposed to have rain, off and on, all day today.
Lance, glad to have you back with us!!
Larry, congrats on the little girl!! Bet Grandpa will spoil her rotten!!
Dan, you must have read my mind, for a meal today: I was planning on putting beef stew on in the Crock Pot!! Thank you for taking care of it!! I'll put the cornbread on, around 10:45, so it'll be ready, when the stew is.
Went for my second visit for the outpatient PT yesterday. After all the exercises were over, they added electricity to the ice pack yesterday. Was only supposed to feel a tingle, but I was actually feeling pain. I managed to withstand the pain, until I only had a couple of minutes left of the treatment. So my therapist said that was good.
Hope everyone has a good day, also hope everyone getting rain, stays as dry as possible. At least it isn't storming, just a nice steady rain, sometimes coming down moderately heavy.
good morning
dan that stew smells great already.rainy day here in nw ohio.good day for sleeping.
good night.
stay safe

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").
Sounds great. I've really missed all of the great cooks around here.
Glad to have you around!
I'll get the crockpot going with some stew for lunch. Cubed steak, taters, corn, carrots, and home made broth. So thick you can eat it with a spoon. The aroma of this stuff should keep people in here all day!

Never fails huh......
Pretty much that's the case. When you see something neat you don't have batteries, or the camera itself! The last one I missed was a trio of patched SP units on the CN in town. I realized what the engines were and raced to get ahead of them. Got there in time, jumped out and realized the batteries were almost dead. I had enough juice to turn the camera on and then they died.....

I heard this year that indiana arts train had pictures of how the railroads affected the civil war.Tree congrats to you and the kids.just tell them the first one comes when it wants the rest take 9 months.yard is mowed and checked the downspouts.almost time to get matt of the bus.
....Driving back home from in town Muncie in the past hour, and stopped for a train by the "trade school"...and on the Frankfort line of NS, we were first in line and the first 3 or 4 brand new special enclosed cars, pretty long ones...painted a maroon color with big white lettering "Indiana Historic Train"....So they must be set up to carry the historic story {of Indiana}, to wherever. Cars were long but not the extra height of the big volume box cars, etc.....They were headed west.
They looked brand new, so possibly not in use yet.
Congrats Tree! May all go as well as it can for all involved.
Time for soup...where's my bowl.....
Congratulations Tree! Does that make you a Grandma?
And we can name her Denise for all the aunts and uncles in the diner and if they ever have a boy - Denephew!
And this just in from the son -
It's (going to be) a girl! Not due until March, but through the magic of modern medicine...

Good Monday morning, to one and all! Well, will be getting ready in a few, for my next physical therapy session. Appointment is at 11:00; but I've got soup going in the Crock Pots, so you will have lunch today: in one is vegetable beef soup, and in the other is minnestrone (sp?) There is also cornbread ready to go in the oven, if one of you could pop it in the oven for me.
Sounds like everyone had a good weekend. Supposed to get some rain, around 4or 5 this afternoon, going through the night. You all have a great day, take care, and see you later this afternoon.
Good morning all. CW, sorry I missed out on that cheesecake. I had a situation here and had to have spagettios instead. Nowhere close to cheesecake, but that's life I guess. Mookie, it must be nice to have all that watching opportunity. Here, we have the CSX A line, which is active after dark, but kinda sparse during daylight. I don't have a clue about breakfast. Most likely, it will just be pot luck with emphasis on the pot.... Have a great day

we saw vehicles from new york and missouri on our train watching mission in fostoria.matt had grandpas special breakfast this morning.hes all set for school.will be mowing later this afternoon after a nap.
I missed telling Tree to plant me some gladiolas over.......there, will be fine. With our eternally good weather here in the diner, they can bloom year round.
I read a series of books that have Grandma going to viewings just to eat the cookies and peek in the "box". When I am really old, I will go just to look at the gladiolas! (and eat the cookies!)
....Morning J: I really wish the authorities would take a look at those vehicles for safety reasons....They are a full size van, and then to make the 15 pass. size vehicle they simply added a section back behind the rear wheels...{of course I'm talking about at the factory}.
Unfortunately, they are used by churches, Universities...etc., so young people generally are involved. Bad situation.
I personally think they are not a stable vehicle when fully loaded with humans...!
Q - had one of those big vans blow a tire north of Lincoln. Church group - many seriously injured. They are dangerous! Plus this one had bad tires and was just an accident waiting to happen.
MC - Early Xmas? A white Halloween?
Saw the usual trains this weekend - at least the railroad is still running nicely. Also saw a vehicle from Idaho and New Mexico at watch site. Wonder if they read the forum or it was by word-of-mouth or just accidental. They got a good show at any rate.
Nap in order. Big nap!
.....Just a bit of local news: Terrible accident over on I 69 this afternoon. One of those 15 pass. vans....{always read they were unstable}, crossed the median, and the result was 5 people died. Saw helicopters flying over yet this evening after dark. Not sure their mission, but probably something about the tragedy.
About a year ago there were fatalities in another van accident no too distant from this one resulting in several deaths....
Still here.
Big day tomorrow, son and DIL (and the rest of us) find out whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter....
Not much interest from me on the whirled serious - my team's not in it. My son-in-law in certainly doing his share of praying for Boston, however.
Mid 70's here today - I managed to get the whole of the front flower bed dug up and the bulbs extracted, and just under half of it replanted (same bulbs, just re-arranged). I may be looking for more places to plant bulbs, though - those danged things just keep multiplying! Wish I was better at identifying them, too. Should be an interesting flower bed next season....
Of course, all that work's gotten my appetite on overtime, so I'll be over in the corner....
Cw that works for me for supper tonight at work.busy day after church.alot of farmers are out getting the corn off.after monday highs in the 50's.
I wish we had that up here...
CW I'll eat almost anything today or rummage around until I can find something that looks interesting.
Okay, since no one gave me any suggestions for Sunday Dinner, here is what I've come up with:
Meat loaf w/mashed taters and gravy; fried chicken, fried pork chops; green beans, biscuits and white gravy; corn, mashed potatoes, and if anyone doesn't want biscuits, there are also some dinner rolls.
Desserts today: chocolate cake, pumpkin pie, apple pie, cherry pie, and strawberry cheesecake.
Hope today's menu is to everyone's liking, and hope you all enjoy!!

The tourism, travel & ski resort people are going to be eating this up, especially if the national audience football game sees this tonight.
3-4 inches of the white stuff at 9AM, the dogs are out romping & rolling in it and it's still coming down heavy. The weatherman's predictions were a little on the low side? (somewhere in Omaha there's a snicker and a few guffaw's coming out of Willy's house...)
