BRIGHT SUNSHINE AT 5600 FOOT ELEVATION IN PRESCOTT, AZ THIS AM.
WE HAVE A VA HOSPITAL HERE AND ONCE A MONTH WE TREAT SEVERAL VETS TO A POT LUCK DINNER AT AMERICAN LEGION POST 6. EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER WAS INTERMITTANT SNOW ALL DAY YESTERDAY OUR MEMBERS SHOWED UP WITH THEIR HOME MADE GOODIES AND THE VETS LOVED IT. WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS AND I THOUGH A FOOD SITE LIKE THE FLAT WHEEL CAFE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
IF YOU ARE OUT THIS WAY COME INTO POST 6, WE ARE THE FRIENDLIEST POST AROUND. AND THERE MAY BE A RAILROADER AROUND TO SHARE SOME TRUTH WITH YOU.

Good morning everyone--I think!
There is a huge storm heading my way and I may be knocked off line by late this afternoon from the very strong winds just like the storm in early January this year. I hope the fixed-up fencing holds up!

Well I guess we could "borrow" one of the Air Farces KC-135s and have it follow you.
IIRC, the underground Gatorade tanks are still full, so the driver is just going to have
to drop the trailer in the back lot as close to the building as possible. (make sure the
heater gets plugged in!!)
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!!
....Just overcast this morning.....we're being told the system has long moved out towards the east. We got away with just a total of 2" of snow and seems all the sleet, etc., passed below {south}, of us.
Believe we're ok now until about Tue. evening or Wed. It is to get warmer too.
So far, I'm a little surprised at the amount of snow we've seen this season here...at our location....23 1/2". Coming close to our seasonal total avg. of 27". Yes, I know that's not much compared to the folks in snow lands....but we're only 937' ele. here too.

Good Saturday morning, everyone! Joe, thanks for fixing breakfast this morning. I got waylaid by computer updates this morning.
Let's see: where to put the Gatorade tanker. For now, we'll leave it where they parked it. When Mutt gets in, we'll decide where to put it. Man, that's a biiiiiiigg tanker. That ought to last the mudchicken for awhile! Wonder if Mudchicken likes heated Gatorade.
Good morning.....
Dan cats do climb well if they still have their claws.we have bacon eggs and waffles coming up.Juice coffee and hot chocolate are ready to go.Hey Cw there was a note on the counter.The gatorade driver wanted to know where to park the tanker truck this year.(getting spring fever).Going to go get Matt from G+G house.weatherman says party cloudy so we will be back for pizza fest tonight.

CC' I was asking for Paula's oysters as they are reputed to have beneficial effects.
But I have partaken of the Rocky Mountain variety, and as a CO native I enjoyed them also.

I shall have 1/2 plate of oysters (no ???? please), hush puppys, baked beans and cole slaw; and then pecan pie for desert.
Snow in the AZ mountains today but not accumulating as it is almost warm enough to be rain, in fact the sun is breaking through now (noon).
Enjoy your day everyone
Jack,
Did you mean Rocky Mountain Oysters? Just asking.
Dan: plenty of fish, even perch, so help yourself. And we fared very well last night. no one fell on the ice, and no branches/limbs came out of the pine tree (that we have noticed, anyway.

....................................We won't tell anyone.
Quentin - just paid off Millie, so like Joe - will probably wait awhile. I really like the reliability of Buicks and we follow Consumer Reports pretty close on what is the best in their opinion. As for an SUV - I would have to throw myself across the front seat and have The Driver push from behind to get me in one.
might have to look into buying one....
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
.....Jen:
You can be comfortable for a while yet.....Buick isn't going anyplace soon. Looks like they are changing the product, but their new SUV is getting brisk attention. Of course it's all relative....The whole industry is in trouble right now economically, and so are many other industries.
Mookie:Why hog all the 'fun'? I believe in sharing!! I've been a GM guy for years until I got my Ranger. I have to say the little truck has impressed me with it's quiet and comfort. It's been pretty reliable. I suspect that after Buick heads the way of CNW the 'well seasoned' crowd will probably drive the 'less seasoned' crowd nuts!
Dale:Yes, WSOR, CN, and CP have all run them recently. However I haven't personally been able to go and see them to get pics. That little frustrating thing called work.... We'll see about next week and month. I know that there's some great pics of them on Fuzzy's chat room (www.fuzzyworld3.com and click on 3um).
Joe:How'd you fare with the last go-round of liquid/frozen sunshine? I heard that there was a fair amount of ice down that way.
CW:Som perch sounds great right about now...so if any's ready I'll grab a plate. How'd you and the family fare with the weather?

the weather people here in nw ohio are watching that storm here as well.Mookie being from a big family I've had a chance to drive or ride in alot of different cars.Fords/mercurys weren't the best for me either.(except fo my nephews mustang).The best cars/truck that I rely on wear bowties.My sister has a malibu and it works good for her.(touch the pedal and it goes!!).Right now though both vehicles are paid off so we're good for now.
cw thanks for supper.

Dan,
Have you seen or heard of any plow trains operating in central Wisconsin?
Dan - I can't manage the 2 feet I have now and you want to give me another one?
I personally have been a Plymouth person - did a Chevy a couple of times and had a couple of Fords forced on me. Fords seem to be more problematic, Plymouth was wonderful (a Valiant slant 6) Roadrunner - ok - but the Buick has been a dream - albeit a cheaper dream. Would like Millie with the old LTD's bench seats instead of her bucket seats.
Wonder what the old people will drive if the Buicks aren't available?

Then we got Millie (2002 Buick), but I just loved that Focus for darting around town. Anyone own(ed ) one and if so, what did you think of it?

I dunno...my opinion of the Focus is a bit blurry...
Neat cars, relatively low maintenance (if the necessary is kept up with), and halfway decent on gas. I was a tad surprised at the room but I wouldn't call it overly spacious.
How'd you enjoy your cake? I've kept the door shut-hope it's helping, but I hear we're due for another round of white fun Mon/Tues of next week. One estimate called for another foot!
....Of course, the Focus is a smaller car and wil be easier to skit around in a metro area. Most smaller vehicles are. I'm not a Ford person so can't comment on the driving of one. Reports one can read generally give it a mediocre report. It's front wheel drive too.
Mookie, I haven't driven a Ford Focus; but know of someone who rented one back in the summer, and she really liked driving it. Other than that, I haven't heard anyone say anything about the Focus, one way or the other. Really would be interesting to hear others' opinions on it.
Now it is time for our Friday Fish Fry. On today's menu:
1. Cod2. Flounder3. Haddock4. Hallibut5. Perch6. Breaded oysters7. Shrimp8. Salmon patties
Side dishes: fries, hushpuppies, corn on the cob, baked beans, cornbread, and cole slaw.
Desserts: apple, blueberry, cherry, chocolate, peach and pecan pies; chocolate cake, and yellow cake w/caramel icing.
Mookie, I'm glad that you'll be able to go watch trains this weekend! Wish I could join you!! Wishing you and Driver a very good weekend!!

....24.1 for our mid morning report on how much "heat" is making it thru the overcast this morning. Looks like about an inch of snow fell over night. And once again, we can live with that.
Our little around town "toy" has Winter tires and 2 special sealed "sand bags" of 70# each behind each fender well in the bed and positraction and for flat country, we get around rather well in this stuff....Even with the wide tires it has. The front wheel drive automoblle gets thru it great too but like to keep it inside in this stuff when we really need not to be using it.
Jen.....Our dentist has about 10 gals "manning" the place and they are really great....Know what they are doing very well. They don't hurt the scenery either. Dentist office is all the way of 5 min. from us. Eye Dr., perhaps about 15 min. in distance.
Not sure if we'll see any more of this Winter stuff today or not....If any, believe it will be minimum. Not snowing now.
In 45 min. we'll head out to our new Bob Evans and have some breakfast....It's about 15 min. distance from home here.....Don't have far to go right into town to reach it all....Kind of handy.
Even a railroad passes about a mile away...{hear a train horn right now}, an east bound I believe on NS, Frankfort line.
This is TGIF for the working folks so that should make it pretty easy.
37 in Carolina.....thats quite a bit warmer than we here....Perhaps Spring is working it's way north.
