Good morning. CW, thanks for serving breakfast this morning! I have the day off today and will be venturing out within the next couple hours to get my hair cut, I'm a little overdue for that and am looking a bit shaggy. Right now we have somewhere between 15 and 22 degrees here in Sioux Falls, depending on which source of information I look at, and it is supposed to warm up to about 32 this afternoon. Not too bad for the month of January. I hope the rest of you out there are all having a good day. Stay warm!

Well, I'm finally home from Produce. The truck was running late, and didn't show up until after 11:00. We had 60 people today. Not bad, for the first Tuesday with just about everyone coming back. The goodies were kind of worth the long wait: cauliflower, broccoli spears, skim milk, chocolate milk, potatoes, and there was something else that I'm not remembering.
Lunch and supper will be: Steamed broccoli, cauliflower w/cheddar cheese sauce, and our regular Tuesday Mexican Fiesta:
1. Burritos (beef, beef & bean and beef enchilada style; 2. Tacos (soft shell & hard shell); 3. Enchiladas; 4. Chimichangas; 5. quesadillas; 6. Spanish rice; 7. Shredded lettuce w/onion and diced tomatoes
Not too sure, but I think the light rain has started again, as the cars going by in front of the house, the pavement sounds wet as they're drivng by. Supposed to be off and on rain, getting to a high of 39.
Going to fix myself a plate, and then maybe take a nap. You all enjoy, have a good afternoon, and take care!
Good afternoon, all. It was not so cold this morning--in the twenties--and it got up into the low thirties, with a few sprinkles of snow. We are to reach the forties tomorrow--a heat wave!
Later on, I'm off to a six o'clock Epiphany service at church; Ricki will stay home as she does not like slippery surfaces underfoot at all, and especially at night.
Y'all take care.
Johnny
Tacos have sounded good all day and a glass of skim milk, please! Yum
Wonder how Brian is doing?
Just got home from the dentist. How do they look?
Had them sharpened a little.

Didn't know a semi could run down the road sideways......
Just kidding, everything stayed upright and in line on the way up from SE Ohio, but had to knock the ice off the grille after 75 miles, truck was starting to run a little hot. After that, was not too bad, just wet.
Delivering in Elgin tomorrow morning, then off for points unkown, but could get interesting if I go down south again, freight is way down.
See everyone later.....

Mookie Wonder how Brian is doing?
That Prednisone is a miracle drug.
Today is the first day in over three weeks that I feel NORMAL. In fact, I feel great. The swelling, stiffness, rash, and fever are all gone. The only down side- back to work tomorrow.
Now, the real test will be when they wean me off this stuff- sometimes the symptoms come back. If they do, I'll be making a trip to Rochester to see some real experts.

Brian - sounds like something along the lines of what my friend Kim has. They have her on a schedule of an allergy drug and prednisone (if she gets an outbreak.) She spends a lot of time in the sun and I suspect it may cause her outbreaks. She is doing just fine as long as she stays with the right forumla and doesn't run out.
I hope your outcome goes as well as hers has.
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Brian, I'm very glad to hear that you are doing better!
We're starting the day with a temp of about 33, 34 degrees this morning, and our high today is to be in the mid to upper 30s. Supposed to have some light snow showers or ocassional flurries. Not supposed to have more than a dusting.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot water for tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast, pineapple slices and some cantaloupe.
Wonder where Dan (Braun) is? Haven't seen him around for a few days. Hope everything's all right up there.
Everyone have a good morning, stay warm and take care.
Good morning and thanks for breakfast. At present, 67 degrees and windy in Carolina. This is basically the high for the day, and later more wind along with rain. Nice day, I don't think. Brian, I am glad you are on the improve. Just take care of yourself. Everybody stay warm and be careful

Looks like it' been kind of slow in here this morning. Most of you must be like me this morning: got sleep, but still sleepy-eyed.
Today's menu:
1. Sloppy joes on hamburger buns w/your choice of chips, fries or onion rings
2. Burgers & cheeseburgers w/choice of chips, fries or onion rings
3. Your choice of chili, vegetable beef soup, cream of broccoli soup and a choice of cole slaw or garden salad
......A bit of winter here this morning.....Not much, compared to what many other folks are receiving in different parts of the country. 32.2 degrees now and overnight about a half inch of powdery snow.
Tried to check in here earlier this morning and got a window telling me if I haven't updated my password, etc.....I need to do so....and it was showing me the oldest to newest in posts.....and that the format has "changed"....Yes, duh.....I know it has some many month ago. So I had to go thru the ritual of entering my "old email and password" to be a legitimate player, and then it signed me in as normal.
What promoted that....who knows.
A day or two ago I could get on the forum normally but when I tried to open a post...it would not respond. Also I would get "error on page" at the status bar across the bottom of the screen.
Have no Idea if it's something on my end or from the web site itself. But after getting "signed in" a few minutes ago, it seems to be operating normal...
Have no other answers....Email and the rest of computer op here seems to be normal.

Q - I have had all those same problems. I am not sure just what it is, but it shows errors on the forum that I never see on any other sites. Think this forum still has "bugs".
Randy - if you are headed east - good luck. Looks like eastern seaboard is going to be a mess today. Sunny - not to bad here - oops - now cloudy. So some sun, some clouds.
CW - I snuck out the McD's and got a riblette for lunch - I love those and they only have them for a short time. So will take a sloppy "Ohio" and tuck it away for later.
Q I have also had the problem with getting the topics to open up, so it's them, not us. Maybe a note to Bergie is in order.

.....And we're here again....Jay and J....I've had these similar incidents occur before too but thinking it must be my machine or ISP...Still not sure.
Very often I do get that "error on page" as I engage a post....Right now it's operating normal...for me.
Woke up to 4" of new snow, and the starter wouldn't catch on the snowblower (that's what I get for not fixing the pull rope over the summer).
Still, out of the driveway and on the road to the airport in plenty of time. Roads bordered on miserable all the way down and all the way back. Several accidents that I know of, including one involving two snow plows and three cars on the interstate. I stayed away so have no details.
Hit freezing rain on the way down - some surfaces on the truck got a nice layer of ice.
And lots of just plain rain.
Hasn't rained here at home, so the snow may actually still be "blowable" by the time I get the snow blower started.
Gonna kick back for a few, then go fix the snowblower.
Mom's probably right about over Mookies area as I write this. I forgot to tell her to wave, though.

Tree - I waved anyway. I was downstairs watching my one hour of tv and pulled my warm blanket off about that time. So it probably waved at her. Also - our fire engine/truck went by at that time - in her honor, I imagine! (out on an alarm - no fire)
afternoon
sloppy ohio??yeah rain/snow/sleet all in one package.sending it forward to the east coast.Cw thanks for supper tonight.Time to get stuff around for work.
Brian, I am glad you are doing better.
About thirty this morning, up in the forties this afternoon with bright sunshine. Maybe we will have lots of snow melted in the valley before the next snow comes, tomorrow night. Tomorrow is to be colder in the morning and warmer in the afternoon.
This dog-sitting episode will come to an end tomorrow; the travelers returned safely last night.
A day or two ago, I had trouble getting into the cafe, there something about time expiring. I wonder if it was full and there would have been no place for me to sit.
There's been a few times lately that Mutt and/or I have had trouble getting on. Will usually wait it out for a couple of minutes, and if it doesn't clear up, we wonder what is going on. (Knocking on wood) So far, I think we're 'trouble-free' this week.
Got the next round of sloppy joes, burgers, cheeseburgers, etc., ready for tonight. Hot things are on the warmer bar; cold things in the cooler.
You all have a good evening, enjoy your supper, and everyone take care tonight.
Um....Tree and a few of you other easterners...mind sending some of that moisture back here?
We seem to be on fire here again (Up on the north-east side of the Peoples Republic of Boulder)
The 60+ MPH winds (Chinooks) are not helping.
(the Asparagus out on the border are now smoked)

Several years ago, I had a good bit of dealing with a company in Colorado Springs, and the man I usually talked with would ask what weather I was sending him the next day.
Good Thursday morning, everyone. Mudchicken, wish we could send some moisture your way. Unfortunately, around our immediate area we didn't get that much yesterday and overnight.
Coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider, juices, hot water for tea are ready. And on the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, oatmeal, toast, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
We have a new Chick Filet restaurant opening up in the east end, and people camped out the last 24 hours so they could be the first 100 people in line this morning, to receive coupons for free Chick Filet meals for a year. As much as I like eating there, I would not have camped out for 24 hours.
On another note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BERGIE!!!!!!
Guess I'd better call Steak n Shake, and have them deliver some steak burgers & sides for Bergie's birthay
Happy Birthday Bergie! Many returns!
Thought I'd pop in and take a break from lurking. I've been busy getting the house ready for Sprout. That and work...ugh. At least I still have a job!
Someone in Canada sent me some BC Rail -9Ws recently. They made for a nice break from the usual CN red/black/white. I haven't seen many WC units lately though, which is a bit wierd. I found out that the WSOR HOK (Oshkosh run) is now more nocturnal which makes pictures a challenge but I can hear GP38 whistles around sunset and later. Makes me think of the 'old' days when CNW was around the area...
I'll be back to lurking again for a while...especially since I see how sharp Mookie's teeth are after the latest dentist visit!

mudchicken (the Asparagus out on the border are now smoked)
The way that thing is burning - It might be smoked Mookie sooner than later....It's now a range fire, 3 miles wide, traveling E-NE....very fast. (burned 2.8 Sq miles in an hour)
Good morning and thanks for breakfast. 43 degrees and overcast this morning in Carolina. I don't remember the expected high, but it doesn't look like much. Mudbiddie, take care out there with that fire. As you say, some airborne moisture would help mightily and I shall pray that it be so. Everybody take care and stay safe and warm.
Dan - aren't those "older" engines nice to listen to? Even the SD70's have a better whistle. Some of the new ones are so shrill.
Is "Sprout" the official name? Seems to me that you could come up with a little better name. Something with drama - like Annabeautiful Sound or Atrain Cummins.....
Our morning has been snow flakes and sunshine....and a cold start. It's still just 17 degrees. No storm system near. To be clearing more as the day continues. Sun is shining in my office window now. So, think we're still lucky.
That grass fire{s}, out west sounds like it means business. Hope some snow or rain might soon help stop it.
Yes, I also hope they get some rain or snow to help take care of the fire/fires out there.
On tap for today's meals: steak burgers (didn't go to Steak and Shake, just went to the grocery and bought ground sirloin), baked beans, green beans, steak fries, cole slaw, salad, and for 'dessert', I'll make real milk shakes: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry.
