Mawnin everbuddy 49 and clear in Carolina today. Not much happening other than politics these days. Those pack of lies will thankfully soon be past for a few weeks until they start gearing up for 2012!!

Mookie It's wet. I'm cold. It's official. Winter is coming.
I was commenting to a co-worker as I left work yesterday that the weather at that moment qualified as "miserable." Wet, windy, and cold.
I can handle wind (unless it's really cold). I can deal with cold (-40 and still is kind of interesting, except for your car). I can live with wet (in moderation). But when you put the three together, it's miserable.
Today it's just cold and breezy so far. Looks like Mookieland and east is getting some weather, though.

Mookie -
No snow yet, so winter can't have started yet. Still fall until:
1. Snow falls with an accumulation of at least 1" (right paw submergence depth), or;
2. December 20th passes
Whichever comes first. Around here it'll be the snow, but who's counting
CW, can I request shredded beef tacos, soft shell for the next fiesta. My favorite Mexican restaurant just closed (those chickens went back to Arizona...).
LC
2" of snow in Colorado Springs, It slushed in Denver and Da Boyz are frisky - It's about to start Winter here - As usual, looks like snow on Halloween.
Copcar had best pull the baloneyskins off the Chevy and get out the snow tires.
Our survey crew on Hoosier Pass gave up this morning and started to head for home. Can't see because the snow is blowing sideways and GPS does not work around trees. 15" of snow on the ground up there.
Cw thanks for supper. Matt and I spent some time outside this afternoon.Looks like we are going to get wet this weekend.Time to get cleaned up for work.
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").
Sorry I haven't been in since this morning. Been busy getting several things taken care of around the home area.
For supper tonight we have:
1. Especially for LC, shredded beef tacos in soft shells
2. Fried chicken, mashed taters, gravy, green beans
Right now, at 6:13 p.m., we have a temp of 62, supposed to get down to about 42 by morning. Not sure what our high was for today. Been too busy, to even notice. But it doesn't feel too bad out.
Joe, we're supposed to get rain in sometime tomorrow night, going thru the weekend, with cooler temps. Yep, sounds like Autumn (Fall) to me.
You all have a good evening, and take care.
Batten down your hatches, which I think means put your chickens in the coop?
2.5" in rain here in Star City. 4.5" about 40 miles west of us. Expecting up to 8" of snow about 120 miles straight west and a blizzard in the southwest part of state. What did we do to deserve this? First the SW corner had a drought and now they are going to get smothered!
Weekend promises to be beautiful albeit muddy!
Have kitchen window. Only bring that up because it faces out on to our back concrete slab where we feed the urchins peanuts. Now when I cook, I need to turn on the light and so they line up about 10 feet from the house and stare at me through the window. They know I am a sucker for a cute face and will toss out peanuts.
So either toss or cook in dark. (sometimes it tastes like I cooked in the dark!)
Did you know rabbits love peanuts? We toss some to our resident 2-3 and they love them! We have created a monster!
Thanks CW. A favorite...
Did you know Deer love Doritos?
Very bad for them. The U.S. Park Rangers destroyed a bunch of mule deer at Grand Canyon National Park a few years back as they became very aggressive around visitors apparently looking for more salty snacks. One Ranger was quoted saying, "Doritos are the crack cocaine of the deer population".

LMAO! I know what to use in November then...hehe.

But anything that tastes that good, has zero nutritional value, expensive for what you get and can be addictive - yeah - makes sense!
Dan - go to your corner!
Limitedclear Did you know Deer love Doritos?
I understand that baiting deer is legal in Mississippi...
CW, I have a favor to ask. Would it be possible to get some chitlins? I have always wanted to try some, and I have friends who insist that they are a genuine delicasy. I know cooking them is another story. I bought some once, frozen, just heat and serve. I slapped those things in the micro, and wound up having to open all the doors and windows to air out the manor and clean the microwave with easy off twice! The yard dog wound up with the goodies and she enjoyed them immensely, judging from the grin she wore for a day or so. Anyway, how bout it?
....This new system seems difficult to work with tonight....and other times too.
I hear a lot of nasty weather being discussed on here from NY to the Rockies.
Our day was beautiful....bright cloudless sky and of course lots of sunshine. Cooler now.....but nothing like I see being described elseware.
Some rain possible I believe Friday and maybe some Sat.
Drove out of the addition for the first time on our brand new repaved street.....Ummmm smooth. Finally.
Jean will pick up granddaughter tomorrow morning in North Indy to stay with us for a few days and while she's doing that I'll continue to get things around here ready for Winter. One of the larger storm windows to set in yet....That on top of Thermopane reg. windows do a pretty good job with the January cold and wind. Have two smaller ones to go yet too, but won't do that until later....Wife likes to be able to get some fresh air in, etc....
Flowers are pulled out now and waiting in the trash container for pick up in the morning.
Jen, would appreciate if you would shoo that nasty weather stuff north as it leaves NE.

Good Thursday morning, everyone. A little chilly out, with the breeze. Temp is about 44, 45 degrees here in the downtown area, mid to upper 30s in a couple of the outlying areas. Supposed to be a very pleasant day, and breezy. Then, tomorrow, with the rain coming in after midnight tonight, 100% chance of rain with a high in the low 50s for tomorrow. Rain to continue thru Saturday and maybe into Sunday. We'll see.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, cider and hot water for tea are ready. And on the warmer bar this morning:
bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast, cooked rice, hash browns, biscuits and sausage gravy, bagels and bear claws.
You all enjoy your breakfast, and have a good morning.
good morning
another chilly start to today.read in the paper former nieghbors celebrated their 50 th anniversary.going to go to town later on errands after a nap.My dad is also coming up this afternoon.Might get to check out his camera.Tonight will be friday yeah!!!! time for a nap.
Modelcar Have two smaller ones to go yet, but won't do that until later....Wife likes to be able to get some fresh air in, etc....
Heck, I know of one family that routinely (ie, daily) opened the front and back door to air the house out during the winter. They heated chiefly with a wood stove. Having done so myself in the past, I can understand the idea.
Working the railroad on Saturday, and the weatherguessers are guessing rain. Yuck. I'm the trainman that day, so I get all the outside work...
tree68They heated chiefly with a wood stove. Having done so myself in the past, I can understand the idea
I can understand with wood stove heating, I'd want a way to refresh the house occasionally too....But in our case, all electric heat....each room controlled. Don't even have a chimney. So no dirt from heat.
Actually, for the past several years I've not even installed the extra window in the kitchen area as Jean likes a bit of refreshing in the kitchen occasionally, even in Winter.
Today, we still have the perfect blue sky again and blazing sunshine. Cool early this morning...I noted 38 about 7:30. In the 50's now and to get to near 65 today. Hope so.
Different thought: I find this forum with it's new face is giving me more picky problems than I had with our last setup. Slow operation sometimes...difficult to control and keep features one clicks on....and in general not as pleasant to deal with....extended lines in posts in some cases....Seemed to behave better {for me}, right after it was originated recently. That is with what I could figure out how to do early on....
Do like the features of the "home" and "end" keys....and another feature seems better is the "quote" function.
Actually, I can see justification for the whole "airing out" thing with electric heat. The draft of a wood stove or an oil or gas furnace is going to suck some outside air into the house through whatever leaks may exist, unless they are vented outside for their combustion air (or the house is really tight, which does happen). Electric doesn't.
Of course, then you have to heat the whole house up again.
Can't be as bad as the time my daughter left an outside door open all day, in the winter. That door didn't have a storm door on it at the time, either...
Good afternoon! Went for a walk this morning; doesn't feel too bad out. Breeze isn't as much as they thought it would be today. Guess it's (wind/breeze) waiting for the rain tomorrow.
Lunch and supper menu today: Chinese.
1. Fried rice (chicken, special, pork, beef, shrimp)
2. Wonton soup
3. Egg drop soup
4. Vegetable lo mein
5. Beef lo mein
6. Sweet & sour pork
7. Beef w/broccoli
8. Pepper steak
9. Moo goo gai pan
Joe, I've fixed a container with a little bit of everything for you for work tonight. It's in the fridge, with your name on the container (large container).
Hope you all enjoy, and have a good afternoon.

Electric doesn't.
Yes, and I consider our house to be rather tight. Even have seals at the electric outlets at the inside walls of the house. All outside walls have tightly packed blowed in insulation. But to suppliment getting air into the house on a regular basis, that occurs each time the electric drier is run, No house is 100% tight, so the drier must pull air in to make up for what exhausts out the vent.
Good Friday morning, everyone. Getting some rain; and, of course, with the rain comes accidents. There's been several already this morning; even have a truck stuck under the railroad overpass at 3rd and Eastern Parkway. Been awhile since one's gotten stuck there.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are all ready; have hot cider for the mudchicken when he comes in.
All kinds of doughnuts, danishes, are on the counter, as well as bagels and bear claws.
Everyone have a good morning.

.....Mid morning temps in mid 50's with light rain....Actually, it feels mild outside with no wind blowing. We do need the rain as it's been dry {with few exceptions}, for roughly 2 months now.

Still raining outside, been a little bit heavy at times. Wondering if I want to make a trip to the library in the mess. Don't exactly want to get my feet wet, as that will leave me cold the rest of the afternoon, into the evening hours.
First trip to puter today. Been downstairs all morning - have hitch in git-a-long and been sitting on an ice pack. Feels a little better.
I don't know if anyone east of us will get rain. We have pretty well rung out the rain here. Finally looks like it might clear up later today. I am almost positive we have had close to 3 inches this last spell. Good to go into winter with ground water.
Must find something hot to drink. It is chilly. Maybe I can dunk a teabag in Tree's hot water?
CW - stay out of rain. It's wet. Trust me.
Work X 100 today...yech but it kept me inside and warm. Can't complain about that!
As a late B-day present my wife/parents got me a sweet scanner set-up. I have an external (magnet mounted) antenna, external (12v) power supply, and a decent scanner finally! From my house in Oshkosh I can hear conversations from both Neenah and North Fond du Lac. Can't wait to actually hear what's going on when I get closer to one of those yards.
Afternoon
yes its wet outside. Matt is home from school and helping mamma put away the groceries. Cw thanks for supper. going to work on some projects inside tonight.
