Good morning! It appears that I am the first one in here this morning, so I will take charge of serving breakfast. The coffee is about finished brewing and I've mixed up a fresh batch of orange juice. The breakfast menu will be kind of light this morning, I baked a pan of cinnamon rolls and I brought in a generous selection of donuts and rolls from our local Sunshine Bakery.
Today will be Paula's 2nd day in the hospital, and I hope it will not be much longer before her doctors can figure out what is ailing her and can then send her home. If I were hospitalized for any reason you can bet that I would be fit to be tied and would want to be sleeping in my own bed. Those of you who will be going to church this morning, please remember to lift Paula, Walt and Sarah up in your prayers to God your Heavenly Father.
Ray
Walt, Paula & Ms. Sarah ; There will be many prayers going to you and your beloved family coming from the mountains in northern Arizona at our church Sunday morning for a full recovery . May the good Lord take a likin' to all of you.
Respectfully, Cannonball & Shirley

Mutt - Best wishes from the north country for CW. We certainly hope it turns out to be a case of much ado about nothing!

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").
Walt - tell Paula I look really stupid in this apron I found, so she best get back and take this back over. She is so much better at this than I.
The Driver and I wish her well and will keep in touch behind the scenes to be sure she is ok.
Mook.

It may be a bit early for the menu for the Sat. Night Pizza Fest, but here goes:
1. Goetta
2. Supreme
3. Extra Cheese
4. Anchovie
5. Calzones
If the menu is lacking, my apologies to anybody's favorite that got left out, I have other things on my mind besides food.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!

Ray, Thanks for the support, I have a feeling that I'm going to need all I can get.
I just called and talked to her, they had run another test, still no outcome.
For a city the size of Louisville, and because of the University, we do have
VERY Competent Medical Facilities here. (some of the very first heart transplants
were done here.)
Walt--
I was a little shocked to learn that CW had been rushed to the hospital this morning, as I am sure the rest of us are. I have Sarah's number and I might try calling her tonight or possibly tomorrow morning to see if I can learn anything. I would bet that Louisville has some really fine medical facilities, and I trust that your wife is in good hands. Meanwhile, my thoughts and prayers are with all three of you!

Q, you really can't see the Downs from I-65, you have to go around the
Watterson Expressway (I-264) to see anything. (Exit Taylor Blvd.)
I saw on TV yesterday some of the women had a hand firmly planted on their
heads to keep hats from blowing away. (the ones that did get blown away are
probably more than just one county away; Thursday for the Parade, they did
have to curtail some of the ballons appearances.)
Haven't looked at our rain gauge this morning, but it was raining reasonably
hard at 4:00am.
Joe, Ray, thanks for "doing" breakfast this morning, you and any others may
have to "Do" it again for the next several days, as CW WILL NOT be available.
Had to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital this morning about 4:00,
Don't really know anything right now, and probably won't until later today,
but speculation is some kind of a heart problem. Before Sarah and I left about
9:30, they had already run a couple of tests, don't know the outcome yet.
Good morning! Since no one else has been in here this morning, I will take charge of serving breakfast. On the menu for breakfast this morning we have blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, pork sausage links, orange juice and coffee......the coffee just finished brewing! An assortment of rolls, donuts and most importantly, bear claws! And there's a couple "beagles" here for Mookie as well.
It finally quit raining in my hometown last night, but since I lack a rain gauge, it's hard for me to tell just how much Sioux Falls had gotten. I got pretty well soaked walking home from work yesterday afternoon, despite the fact that I was wearing a vinyl poncho. At last report we had 32.9 degrees here and it's supposed to be a fairly nice day here, although quite windy.
I hope the rest of you out there have a good day!
good morning
juice coffee and rolls are ready to go.damp but not to bad this morning.getting matts baseball stuff around.todays picture day along with practice.
....Walt:
I'll guess some of those "hats" at the Derby location have been blown into the next county. Expecially those silly ones with practically wings on them....ha.
My rain gauge only accumulated .025" today....We're just north of the progression of the line of storms...at least the severe part. Brisk wind up here today, maybe 25 or so mph but nothing more serious that I know of.
We need the rain but not the storms. I understand up to 7 people have perished because of the severe stuff so far. Terrible.
Evening folks, This weather for late winter & spring has been fierce for most of the country. Im' sure this has happned before. Point, Okla. has been hit by a tornado west of Tulsa.Our friend ( Indy Mindy) was heading to Tulsa to see sister . Dont' know if she made it yet , she dont' ans. cell phone , hopefully it is in a bad spot. She lost Flatwheel last Nov.and been a rough road to haul for her . Things were getting better for her ,Lord Melinda dont' need more grief . The weather guessers aint' very helpful as where it was at from Tulsa. ~~~ Sometimes life aint' so hot. Hope those big baloons dont' get blown away for the parade .
Respectfully, Cannonball
Walt - I'm betting on the filly. If she wins, won't I look really smart and if she loses, well, I don't have any money anyway.
It's the weekend and the chicken has been missing for quite some time. Wonder if his doorbells are sitting on him keeping him from getting to the puter?
Rain all done - think snow all done, too. Northwest Nebraska really took a hit. Heading to bed - taking a beagle with me - in case I need a snack during the nite.
Moo.....
Quentin, just went out and looked at our rain gauge....empty this morning....now has
about an inch and a half in it. Been raining fairly steadily since about 2:00 this
afternoon, several very hard showers with the streets trying to flood as storm drains
weren't able to carry off the excess water fast enough.
We've had gusts of wind up to about 50 mph also, no power outages that I've heard
about, a few tree limbs down across the city. Supposed to be more of the same through
out this evening and into tomorrow morning.
People at Churchill Downs have been looking for any and all the shelter they can find
due to this rain. (a lot of the ladies Derby Hats are probably very soggy by now!)
If anybody bets on the horses today, here's a safe one: Bet on the "Mudders"!!
Quentin, Walt's just gotten home from the chiropractor, and is getting comfortable, so I'll answer your question. We have had thunderstorms and plain old rain off and on all afternoon. That's why I wasn't on to post lunch today. Didn't want to be on the puter, with the thunder & lightning! Also, we're under a flood watch until 10 p.m. tonight, along with a moderate to severe chance of some bad thunderstorms coming in. (yuck, yuck, yuck). But, at least it's now that four letter word that begins with s and ends in w!
Here's tonight's Friday Fish Fry menu: cod, flounder, haddock, halibut, perch, salmon patties, shrimp, fries, baked beans, hushpuppies, corn on the cob. Sides: cole slaw, garden salads. Desserts: regular list of pies, along with chocolate cake.
Hope everyone can stay as dry as possible tonight. Oops: hearing thunder again.
matt came home in a downpour of rain.It's a good thing that we didn't start a friends roof project today.Snow??yuk!!! I would rather mow 4 times a week then shovel anymore snow.hopefully matt can play ball tommorow.Cw thanks for supper.
Joe
....Tom....sorry you indicate you can't get out and do mowing now...That is a job here at home I kinda enjoy. Have a nice wide open flat lawn with the back yard connected to the golf course and it's pleasant to just get on the tractor {in nice weather}, and make it look nice. Hopefully, in the future you will be able to do so again.
Some one mentioned snow in an above post here....I saw video on TV this morning from {I thought}, southwestern S. Dakata}, but maybe it was Nebraska....Said I-80 was closed with some areas having 3 and 4 feet of the stuff...!! Terrible for 1st week in May.
Walt:
Note your area is somewhat in line with the weather coming in from the southwest....How is it behaving now. Up here, we're getting some off and on {nice rain}, but it does contain some wind...Gusts perhaps in the 25 mph bracket. Believe we're just to the north of the projected path of the really nasty stuff....
Jim & Ray - that is how our Willy got interested in meteorology and will pursue it as a career.
And western Nebraska is now having a blizzard - they close part of I-80 around Big Springs - the sun is shining brightly here in Lincoln! 58 degrees for today!

As frightening and damaging as Mother Nature can be, I'm with you Ray...I have always been fascinated by thunderstorms, big snows, etc. My wife and I once stood at our front door as a big thunderstorm approached from the southwest and watched as a bolt of lightening hit the tree on our parkway out by the curb and split it in half (lots of electronics damage at our home and that of our neighbor, thank goodness for insurance).
