Good Thursday morning, everyone. Hope everyone is doing well this morning.
Coffee, juices, lemonade and teas are ready to go. And anything you might like for breakfast, you'll probably find it on the warmer bar this morning. If not, let me know, and I'll fix it for you.
Mookie, I did step out on the front porch a few times yesterday times yesterday, and did my walking yesterday morning, early, while it was very overcast out.
Dan, I'm not much on really cold weather, but you're right: in the winter time, you still may be on the cool with a 40 degree outside temp, but at least it's above freezing!!
Ironically, I hate 40 degrees in the wintertime. That means the snow will melt, making everything wet and sloppy, then it will all freeze at night, creating a royal mess. When it's cold, let it stay cold. If it's going above freezing, keep it there.
I really don't mind cold, as long as it's not windy. Forty below rather defines "crisp" (which is what your nose hairs feel).
On the other hand, if I've gotta fight fire, -40 is a royal pain.

.....A cloudy start here for us...and 66 degrees about an hour or so ago. Yes, I too am sneezing this morning. Not sure where all that is coming from.
Winter......Really don't care to start to think of that yet. Winter is different here in Indiana as it was in our home area of Pennsylvania. One difference is elevation: Here 937'.....Home in southwestern Pa. 2000'....That makes a difference in snow fall...especially over in Pa. we got some {just some}, of the lee side of lake Erie snow. And the elevation makes a difference.
Out here it seems to be more wind and cold...{especially Jan. and sometimes Feb.}....Snowfall here is just 27" annual avg. Pa. home area was much more and we have seen major accumulations there.
Here it can happen but it's not the norm. More ice here though.....
But for now, believe I'll try not to think of all that stuff for a while. A/C is running.

73' and 79% - why is it when they have a TS or hurricane in the gulf, we get all the humidity! Houston Ed really doesn't have to share!
Sneezing and coughing - I am not fit company for even myself.

That can't bode well for Houston Ed...
I hope his gators have their beach towels ready then cuz they might get wet!
Yardwork this morning and then work later today. Probably going to the Model Railroad Club tonight. I have some AC4400s to work on-gotta install DCC and maybe...just maybe finish work on my grain elevator. I'll grab a snack and then take off! Later.
Cloudy and cool here in Winston. High in the 70's with the last of Fay giving us some of her moisture. Late start to the day (2nd shift) going until about 9:00 PM. Good cup of coffee w/ a late breakfast or early lunch (brunch, I guess) to get started.
Everyone have a great day,
PL

Hello everyone! Just now getting in here after being in this morning. Still have a headache, and can't decide if it's sinus related, allery related, or plain ole migraine. We had a house fire about two and a half blocks southwest of us this afternoon. Surprisingly, with my nose all stuffed up, and snuffling, I could smell the smoke from our front porch. Walt and I walked over, and a few pieces of fire aparatus were still on the scene, as well as a couple of ambulances. I think Walt got a couple of pictures, but I haven't seen them yet.
Here is our supper menu for tonight:
Hamburgers w/fried taters, your choice of garden salad, cole slaw; or
steak w/baked potato and sauteed mushrooms & onion and garden salad
As far as our temps went today, we started out in the low 70s this morning, and got up to 92. Our outdoor thermometer is showing about 90. We have a chance of some rain to start the day off tomorrow. Guess we'll see in the morning.
You all have a great evening. Mookie, take care with those allergies!

Mookie's new wheels?
Millie could certainly out-pull and outrun it!
(Gotta hurry-up and go eat - Da bloodsuckers get me after starving me for 14 hours tomorrow)
Kindly note the cat's whiskers.....
I did notice that it's located in Alabama. Might make a neat road trip if it was roadworthy...
That's neat, Tree. It would be nice if if we could load it onto a flat car and ship it to Mookie in Lincoln, Nebraska by way of either the BNSF or the UP.

MC out there laying out the track should prove interesting, too....
....What do we have here....computer "painters" at work. Pretty neat.
Good Friday morning, everyone! Still stuffed up and snuffling, along with itchy eyes and sneezing. I hope Mookie, and anyone else being bothered with allergies is doing all right this morning.
Mookie, I think that engine would look very good in your backyard! Especially in the green and white colors.
Coffee, hot tea, iced teas, lemonade, are ready to go.
On the breakfast bar this morning: fresh fruit along with the Friday Danishes, doughnuts, bagels, bear claws and muffins.
You all have a great morning, and if anyone is going to be leaving to travel for the Labor Day Weekend, please be cafeful out there on the roadways, & be careful around train tracks.
.....Looks like another sunshine day here. Temp now, 72. That's 2 degrees higher than yesterday. Still dry....!
Sis in Law over in Pennsylvania indicated she ran her furnace for a short time yesterday to take the chill off in the house. And an all day rain. Quite a difference 400 miles makes.
Our "evening train" we often see at or McD's. parking spot, had so many ADM tank cars last evening.....Seems to be increasing as time goes by. It was eastbound.
TGIF!
With vacation and my regular work schedule (9 hour days with a day off every two weeks) this is the first five day week I've worked in well over a month. It's killing me!
Warmer here this AM than it has been - the furnace has been a consideration several days when overnight temps dipped into the 40's. The weather forecast for the weekend no longer contains rain, and that's a good thing.
I'll be in the corner with my bearclaw and tea, reading an old issue of Trains....
cloudy and muggy with a spit of rain outside.Busy night at work and when it was time to go home our printer started printings labels from yesterdays load.Well thats for first shift.CW thanks for breakfast.time for a nap.hey mookie do you have room for that 44 tonner and your big boy out back??
