Good Sunday morning, all!!  Well, MC, I saw on the national weather this morning, that you all are experiencing a 41 degree drop in temps from yesterday. 

And Joe, thanks for getting breakfast!  Think I'll fix myself a plate of bacon, eggs, and pancakes.  Feeling hungry this morning.

What would you all like for Sunday Dinner today?  Just let me know, and I'll fix it!

Better the Whirled Serious waited until next week. It has started to snow in Denver (and it was 80 degrees six hours ago) ...Looking at up to six inches by tomorrow night.

Hot Chocolate anyone?

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

By the way, there is serious talk by meteorologists that we're going to have a La Nina weather pattern, which means more rains than normal here in California. Let's hope the flood control system here works correctly! :)

Good Saturday morning, everyone!  It's very cool here this morning, with temps in the upper 40s, low 50s.  Supposed to have a high of 75, 76 today.  Going to be a beautiful day! 

Joe and GTW4914, thank you both, for breakfast this morning.  I'm working on a cup of coffee, and think I'll take a couple of rolls, some eggs, and I've always made pancakes for this morning, to add to the menu.  

I'll be making up the pizzas around 3, so they'll be ready to go into the ovens at 6.  You all have a great day, and as Joe always says, "STAY SAFE"!!

I hope everybody fared well during the storms and that nobody is seriously affected by them today.

Looks like the coffee shop never lost power. In that case I'll have a big ol' slice of cold pumpkin pie ala mode and glass of ice cold milk.Dinner [dinner]

..............Yes, C W....we're glad it managed to miss us.  Somehow those kinds of storms moving in from the southwest or west, do so, quite often.  Seem to split just west of our county sending the nasty stuff north and or south of us.  But not always.

Cannonball, good to see you in!!  And Quentin, glad you all missed all the bad stuff last night!

Time for our FRIDAY FISH FRY.  On the warmer bar, you"ll find the following kinds of fish:  cod, perch, rainbow trout, catfish, flounder, haddock, hallibut, and salmon patties, along with fries and hushpuppies.  On the cooler end of the food bar, there is:  cole slaw, apple pie, chocolate pie, pecan pie, cherry pie, peach pie, and blueberry pie, along with chocolate cake, yellow cake w/white icing, and an yellow cake with caramel icing.  

Mookie, if you like, I'll fix up some to-go containers for you to take home for your and Driver's supper tonight.  Let me know, and it's taken care of.

....How much we can count on the weather folks for the long range forecast is questionable....but...they are saying this part of the country will have warmer than average temps. and above average precip. this upcoming season.  Anyone's guess just what we might get.

Two nights ago as the weather system was working it's way towards us we received 1" of badly needed rain.  Last night, when the really bad stuff was to get to us....we had a bit of wind...brisk, and just .2" of rain overnight.  We got off easy...nothing of storm in our immediate area.  Moon was shining here last evening...

Still a bit windy this morning and in and out sunshine and it was 62 degrees as we started our day.

Joe - the local bank is putting up their Xmas Tree?

Mutt - I am almost sure I heard Dan say he would help in rehab.....

Mid October and we will be sunny and mid to high 70's on Sat.  Toot!

Little bit country.  Car hit a horse on the county road yesterday.  The horse hit like a deer and smashed in the windshield and bent the frame and dash so the driver was trapped.  Car caught fire.  Sheriff deputy and passerby pulled him out.  Burned foot, but ok.  Horse and car both went away, permanently.  Probably felt like he hit a train!

Mischief awaits!

Wellll, Morning glory and how yall is?? CW, I never heard Denver use the term. It is a holdover from back in the 60s for me, along with a few others we old fogeys used to bellow all the time. I am a creature of habit and ain't above dropping such rarities as those, and maybe a kopasthetic or two from time to time. We expect rain today for a change, which will be much appreciated. Gotta go check my possum trap and see if there will be anything for supper this evening.

Good Friday morning, everyone!  Glad to have survived all the wild weather we had here, yesterday afternoon, and last night.  Several buildings in the East End of the city, were damaged, but thankfully, no serious injuries or deaths have been reported.  But there sure is going to be a lot of cleanup going on, after daylight!!

Tom, are you by chance a John Denver fan??  He's about the only one I remember ever saying "Far Out!"   He was definitely one of my favorite singers.  

I've got all kinds of doughnuts and danishes laid out on the breakfast/warmer bar this morning:  chocolate covered long johns, chocolate covered, cream filled doughnuts, glazed and cake doughnuts, apple, peach, cherry, raspberry danish, bear claws, and even bagels this morning.  

How did everyone else manage through the night, with the storms and tornado watches/warnings?!?!  Definitely hope that everyone is safe and sound this morning!!

Joe, hope you all don't get what we've been having wewather wise this evening, the NWS

Radio has been going off since about 4:00pm. Tornado watches, severe thunderstorm warnings, and Tornado Warnings.

 We just got out from a tornado warning about an hour ago, with more to come tonight.

 Seems there is another set of severe storms following the same path this

one has taken. Damage reports are starting to come in now, but so far there doesn't

seem to be anything major; thankfully.

 

Ed, hope your ReHab does go well, just keep at it.

Mook, if we do open a rehab wing here, I hope I get  some help with it! As it is,

I've already got one to work with.

 

grampaw pettibone, I haven't seen, or heard "Far Out" used for a LONG time,

just wondering if you might be a big John Denver fan?!
