Omaha did indeed get some hail last night. 1.00" diameter hail was reported in both Omaha and Papillion. La Vista, where I'm located, was in-between the two storms and didn't even get much rain. It's just as well, because we certainly don't need the hail. A much more significant severe weather outbreak/heavy rain event is on the way for this evening, so we'll see how that goes. My one concern is that clouds are not clearing very quickly. This may lead to limited instability and thus keep storm intensities down somewhat. Something to watch.

....Our morning has started with clear skies....sunshine.....and mod. temps. Finally, was able to turn off A/C yesterday afternoon and open windows for fresh air...Believe just to low 80's today.
Mowing done yesterday so that looks rather nice now.
Now today a new water heater to be installed....One that runs only at night. Also provides overall house useage with lower kw / hr. price. Home is total electric. Figured I wanted to have one installed before the next cold season. Current one is still working fine but it's 27 years old....so now it will be changed.
So that's the start of our day.
Quentin

I have a nice crunchy brown lawn here. No chance (or hope) for rain for the next week at least. The temp here was a balmy 98 degrees.
Gotta love springtime in Texas!

I wish I could send you some of our rain (without the severe storms). We're going to get dumped on again tomorrow. Hopefully there won't be any additional tornadoes.
Hi everyone! Sorry to have been so scarce today; after I finished with Produce this morning, came home, went to sleep; then, when I awoke, I started working on our supper for here at home tonight: chicken & dumplings (dumplings made from scratch).
Also have some chicken & dumplings for you all here in the diner, along with fresh spinach, beef & noodles, baked potatoes, cole slaw or garden salad, and some fresh sliced cucumbers.
Desserts tonight: cobbler: apple, cherry, peach); chocolate cake; strawberry shortcake w/whipped cream, and for the cake and cobblers, plenty of ice cream.

Big line of storms just came through. Nothing much besides rain, lightning and thunder where I was standing, but the folks just south got hammered, including a couple of reports of funnel clouds. Lots of trees, poles, and wires down, and some damage to buildings.
Rumor has it we're getting a second wave a little later.
....I've seen that done before...{changing the heading}, and wondering how it was done....?

Nice sunny morning here. Looks like the T-Storms they've promised for the past few days might actually arrive - things are firing up to the west of us already. No complaints, actually. The grass hasn't been out of hand, and we're neither too wet nor too dry.
Bearclaw and tea. I'll be over in the corner.
....Cannonball:
I'm sure there was a solution of some kind from someone being out on the road and going thru it many times....I've even had pretty good luck using {small spray can}, of WD-40. It somehow dries out the moisture.
Years ago with an almost new 1949 Fleetline Chevy, and I had gone to a basketball game with a campanion with me....way over {for then}, near Salisbury, Md. When we came out I couldn't get in the door lock as it was frozen.....Finally using a Zippo, we heated the key and...bingo it opened. Not the formula to use around a fuel tank though.
rain this morning and better by this afternoon.Modelcar I was watching the radar very closely as that storm was crossing into ohio.I helped my neighbor this morning.I noticed water was running over the top of his downspout.Found the plug and released the floodgates.Those whirly gigs make a mess sometimes.time for nap.Mokkie here is your coffee.
Good Tuesday morning, one and all! We just got through having a very nice rain shower. Guess it was the cold front coming through, as it seems to be a little bit cooler now. Our high for today is predicted to be 84, 85 degrees. That's much better than the 94 days we've been having!
Coffee, juices, teas (iced & hot) and lemonade are ready. And on the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, buttermilk pancakes, bagels and bear claws.
You all have a great morning, and I'll see you when Tuesday Produce is over.
Quentin; really good thought. But it was too hard to stick a rag in the deicer tank under the hood LOL . Much easier to use Wonder Dog 4-0 . An older hide than myself showed me that in Indynoplace @ Blue & White during a black ice event in 19 some yr. Jan.
Respectfully, Cannonball

I went through the drive-thru at McD's Sunday and saw notice posted that they weren't serving tomatos in those sandwiches that normally had them.
Here's a list of sources of safe tomatoes.
....Tom, that sounds a bit too close for comfort.
Here in the midwest....we, being in Indiana.....had another shot of it at 5 pm today.....I was just about into a nap here in the office {home}, and heard noise and looked out and our eastern neighbors large trees were whipping around like I've not seen them do before....
Another front was passing thru again.....and I had my little hand held on hearing of the trees down, some electric lines and some into houses...{That report was the weather watchers locally on 2 meter ham}.
Then word came that Muncie had just experienced 74 mph straight winds...{I'm assuming}. Neighbor's one tree across the street was broken off and throwed across his driveway....But he doesn't know it as they are in N H for the summer. Small limbs and leaves all over the place as we just drove out of the addition about 2 hrs. ago. Still, I think we've been lucky...compared to much that has happened in this state this past weekend, etc.....

Just my take on things. When I'm working on the railroad, I am expected to wave, and get my picture taken a lot.
This is all I'm going to say on the matter. On a tourist railroad I would think you would be expected to wave. As a freight conductor, it is my discretion whether I want to wave or not. If I feel like it, I'll wave. If I don't feel like waving, I won't; too bad so sad, I really don't care.
I've worked passenger trains as well, and I do wave to the passengers, as I would expect any tourist/passenger train conductor or crew to wave and display some good customer service.
I am so sick of the bickering over something as trivial as waving. Some will wave, some won't. GET OVER IT! To attack someone because they don't feel like waving is utterly rediculous. I'm glad the topic was locked. That's all I'm going to say.

I've got some more of the above menu ready and on the warmer bar for tonight's supper. Even made some more iced tea and lemonade.
Considering all the talk we've been hearing of trees being uprooted here and there in violent wind storms, this morning I was almost wishing that a storm would come through here and uproot a couple trees in my yard. Last night while I was doing a load of laundry in my basement, my sewer line backed up over the floor drain. I called Drain Master this morning and they had a man out here at 9:00 this morning. He pulled a huge mass of tree roots out of my sewer line. My brother-in-law is a plumbing contractor and I think I can get him to flush some kind of a chemical down my sewer line to inhibit the growth of tree roots. I will talk to him about it tonight. I cost me more than a hundred bucks to get my main sewer line re-opened, and right now that kind of hurts! And oh!, the joys of home ownership!!
My day is not a total loss though, and it has been very nice here today, with the temperature in the mid 70's. We could be seing more rain by Wednesday, but I know that much of this region is already waterlogged from so much rain in the last few weeks.
