Yes you are CW.
I love catfish, especially southern catfish, with hushpuppies, slaw and baked beans. Mutt, you must work your buns off to burn up all the great food calories. That is my solution also, HA!
Another nice day in AZ. Have a great weekend all.
Jack
Joe, you can bring Matt any time!! I can always use all the help I can get.
On today's FRIDAY FISH MENU:
1. Catfish2. Cod3. Halibut4. Flounder5. Salmon Patties6. Jumbo Shrimp
Regular sides of corn on the cob, baked beans, fries, hushpuppies, and cole slaw.
At least for now, the rain is over here. Think it is totally gone from our area, but you know, you just never know the tricks Mother Nature will decide to give us.
CW neglected to mention the Fireworks Show that "Ma Nature" put on overnight;
it was kind of awesome. Thundering enough to shake the house, and lightning enough
you almost didn't need any lights on to read by.
The last time I checked our rain gauge about 9:00pm last
night, we had about 3/4", this morning it was showing about 4"! (most came around
midnight) City and Suburban Fire Depts. were kept very busy effecting rescues of
peoples trapped in their vehicles in underpasses. (mostly R.R.) City at one time
had to resort to blocking the roadways with "Fire Scene" tape as they ran out of
the actual barricades they generally use. (heard from scanner)
Also heard on the scanner on one of the rail channels, engine crew repeating
a track warrant back to the dispatcher saying...."maintain track speed and watch
out for flash flooding at mp....."
Ray, would be very happy to send some of this "wet stuff" your way, I'll just set
another big fan next to the one I've got blowing towards Duff, (southeast) and aim
this one towards your direction. (northwest)
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!!
CW, South Dakota could use some of the rain that you folks down in Lousville are getting, and I wish it were possible for you to send some of it in our direction. Anyway, I hope Kentucky gets some drier weather, and soon!
I have to work today, which I don't mind. I had the day off yesterday and spent a few hours doing some outdoor photography in the downtown area of Sioux Falls, including Falls Park. I watched a BNSF train roll across a plate-deck tressle which spans the falls, it had 4 engines on the point and for some reason it was moving in reverse, probably to pick up additional cars further down the line north of BNSF's main yard. Anyway, I got some nice pictures.
Coming home from my venture at Falls Park yesterday afternoon, I went past the Wild Wheat Bakery & Coffee Shop in downtown Sioux Falls, and noticed thay had a "HELP WANTED" sign in the window, so I am looking at applying for work there, maybe I can pick up an application on my way to work at Wendy's this morning.
I hope the rest of you out there have a good day!
Ray

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").
....Rainy and cloudy, dark and 50 degrees.....Must go to Indy in 45 min. to deliver grand child back to parents. Had nice visit with us this spring break week. Then we'll head over to Lexus dealer to have car checked over.
Just noted interior light was on inside the {car, as one rear door not quite shut}, as Jean and Heather were shopping yesterday and.....my first thoughts were..."Oh no...battery will be dead", but good old lady luck was with me and I tried it and it started right up.....Surprised me...
Starting tomorrow it's to be much warmer and sunny and on into next week.
I'm thinking the tractor will have to come out to start the lawn mowing...Thought that would happen this week but didn't get that much sunshine and didn't quite happen. Did sew a bunch of grass seed to work on spots the drought caused last season....
Guess our day has started.
Quentin
It is dark, but dry. Will be sunny and warmer today.
CW - you are just getting a longer shower. Maybe you had a little more winter dirt to wash off than we did.
Joe should be here shortly. I need to rest awhile.

Good rainy Friday morning to everyone. It's still pouring here, and several intersections are flooded. Several school districts, in southern Indiana are on two-hour delays. And yes, people are getting cars stuck at underpasses, because they can't see the depth of the depth of the water.
To celebrate a couple of our friends being back this morning, the Friday morning doughnuts and danish are on the counter. Along with muffins, cookies, and cinnamon rolls.
Coffee, hot tea and juices are also ready and waitin' for you this morning. Mudchicken, do you need some hot cider this morning, or would you like to have it cold?
Today is the last day of school around here, as Spring Break begins. Now, we have to put up with running around everywhere next week, seeing what they can get into!
You all have a good morning, and try to stay as dry as possible!!

Tom! Welcome back! Glad you're well enough to be home now. You have been missed around here. Take care, and Get Well Soon!!
Duff, wish we could send you some of this rain!!!! I am sick of seeing clouds and rain.
Tom.....I'm sure everyone on here wishes you a good recovery and welcome back to the forum.

My room overlooked the CSX A line, but due to circumstances, I could only listen to them blow for the crossing. Good to be back

New York, and I'm working a train Friday night.....
Mook, it's at least made it to here.....about 55 degrees and 3/4" of rain in the gauge.
(thus far)
Supposed to get T-Storms overnight and into tomorrow with chance of getting 4 +
inches before it's over.
Larry, hope you have a good rain jacket/coat.
Duff, if we had That Big of a Fan, or something like, I'd try to blow this stuff
Southeast in your direction!
CW, thanks for the Italian fare, I love it.
May have rain showers in AZ mountians today and they would be welcome.

We will have a flood watch in effect later on this morning, going through tomorrow night or Saturday morning. They say our area could see about 4 inches of additional rain. Which means the guy who cuts our grass, won't be able to until next Saturday. I know the old saying "March winds bring April Showers, which bring May Flowers", but we've seen too much rain already, as have a whole lot of people in other areas. I'm just glad this coming in isn't snow!! Coffee is through brewing, and fresh juice is now cooling in the cooler, and extra in the fridge. On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: breakfast burritos filled with scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, ham, cheddar cheese; bagels, bear claws, and home made hash browns. Everyone have a great morning, stay warm and dry this morning, if you're in the rainy region, and enjoy your breakfast! Mookie, I'll be out in the garden, if you'd like to join me.

Seind some of that rain our way, we need to fill up our lakes here.
Jim, thank you so much for your contribution this morning!! I seem to be on a "sweet diet": I keep wanting sweets, of any kind, though I'd love to have some more chocolate, than I currently have on hand, here at home (which is nothing chocolate in the house!). I'm going to have to rectify that!!!!
Mookie, I really enjoyed our visit this morning. Thank goodness, the rain held off until we came back inside!!
Since yesterday was Mexican Day, today is Italian Day. On today's menu:
1. Italian spaghetti w/meat sauce, garlic potatoes, and your choice of: garlic bread, garlic Texas Toast, or parmasean cheese bread.
2. The following pizzas: Pepperoni/mushroom, Anchovie, Italian sausage, Hawaiian, and Supreme.
Now, I'm headed to the laundry area, and take care of that dreaded chore!!
Jack.....just from my observation of how he brought the Sante Fe from the Yucca Flats {desert}, up, around the edge of the range of hills to attain the elevation of Kingman seems to have done a good job. Probably wasn't an easy task. But it is quite an elevation climb to get up there and then on out across the territory headed east and on up to Flagstaff.

We'll all be safe after that 'cause after the kitty gets over her sugar rush, she'll be sleeping it off over in the corner...

Thanks CW, I could use a good cup of java this morning after a long day yesterday...I am in Wisconsin and can't help with the cooking but how about I bring a box of fresh danish from the local Hartford, WI bakery down the street for all of us to share?
