......Woopee....This starts spring....! 31.7 degrees right now and eastern sky shows the sun will be shining at least part of the day. Rain has headed on east. Muncie rivers did get high and out over into flood planes at places.

a forenail (don't have opposable thumbs... ) of all the no-news from here:
No rain, robins galore, first day of spring, Happy Birthday Stacey, saw a track guage car with two FURX engines yesterday - doing the leads in and out of the yard - saw a couple of greenies - (nothing from DE, Joe) saw some ugh orange and saw a GP60 and a Dash 8 together. That was fun!
Saw one of those cars that Sir Mud was describing as tipping over if you didn't anchor them just right - it was in with a string of tankers and then a tail end of X'd freight. Moving somewhere to annoy someone....
67 degrees today, everyone I know seems to be healthy for a day and I have had a cup of coffee. Come and get me world!

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").
It's a very damp 34 here - with plenty of snow still around to remind us of the season from which we just came. We were supposed to accumulate 1-3" of snow overnight, but we got none. Not that I'm complaining.
Sure am glad today is my Friday. I've got a lot to do and being at work is hindering the progress on my projects at home!
Bearclaw, tea, quiet corner.

Thanks CW for getting breakfast ready this morning, I appreciate it. Today being the first day (or part of the day) of Spring we have a whopping 32F here in Aurora with a monster Winter storm headed our way tonight and tomorrow and into Saturday morning that is supposed to dump up to () ten plus inches of fresh white stuff (of which we have nothing on our streets or lawns right now and only some of the brown stuff in parking lot piles left)...oh well, so much for Spring coming early.
My "better half" and I will be chilling out this weekend after she had some dental surgery earlier this week and I paid a visit to the dermatologist for him to examine a few unusual lesions on my forehead, arm, hand and back (no doubt too much railfanning sans hat...let that be a warning to you all). The good Doctor said nothing to worry about and zapped three of them with liquid nitrogen to freeze them off).
Oh well, keep warm and happy everybody and hope to see some of you trackside soon!
Per the request for today, here's today's meal menu:
Beef tips and gravy with the following sides: mashed potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, stuffing (savory herbs, pork, sage & cornbread), and. . . . Strawberry cheesecake for dessert (along with our prerequisite chocolate cake!!).
NOW: If everyone will excuse me, I'll be getting ready to watch my Kentucky Wildcats play b-ball!! GO CATS, GO. GO CATS, GO
Where is my helper for today?!?! Anyone seen Dale around?!?!

Hi CW. I made it, and I'll do the best I can.
It certainly feels like spring out here. A lot of the shrubs have open buds now, and the birds are singing. Swallows have been sighted as well, but not by myself. It is still too early for the Bald Eagle Cameras, but there is an active bushtit nest down the street.
The way the weather has been ALL across the U.S., this could almost say "Anywhere U.S.A".
This was from the Louisville Courier-Journal for today. There's not of high water on the
Ky side of the Ohio, but Several small towns in In. are flooded quite badly; Milltown,
French Lick, West Baden Springs (the "Resort" at F.L. It's not flooded, but you can't
get to it except by boat.)
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!!
"I do"
Just practicing for 6 months from now, lol. Dinner's starting to smell good CW!Sounds like southern WI/northern IL could get 10"-12"+ of the fluffy white "sunshine". Didn't Ma Nature get the memo yet? Willy?
Dan
Dan double check that memo please.if you think 6 months flys by wait until after you are married then it really goes fast.am i going to need to put a snowplow in front of the mattmobile? they are saying 3-5 inches here but its nw ohio.CW thanks for supper.

Nope, I guess Mother Nature didn't get the memo yet. And it does indeed look like someone in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin could see a foot of snow. What's interesting is the fact that there is going to be a very sharp line between tons of snow and no snow at all. This will be determined by the exact track of the storm system, which will determine where the temperatures will be supportive of snow and where they will be supportive of rain. Anyway, it's all missing Omaha again for about the 20th time this winter. Des Moines, Iowa measured about 25 more inches of snow than Omaha did this winter. Silly weather.
Willy
Well, unfortunately, my Kentucky Wildcats will be comin' home. They didn't really play that badly, but I know they could have played better than they did. Dale, thanks for manning the Cafe for me, so I could watch the game.
I can't remember the name of the little Indiana town, but saw on our local news last night, that this little town actually had the rain turning to snow showers yesterday afternoon, right around 4:30, 5:00.
I've set out some more beef tips and all the trimmings on the warmer bar, so you all just help yourselves; and have a good evening, everyone.

We're short of our all-time record here by just 3 inches. I don't think we'll be getting it tomorrow, either. I still have 43.7 degrees on the weather station right now. Ever since I put those new parts on the snowblower, it's been sitting in the garage unused. I'll have to remember that trick for next year...

No problem. Your boys played well, and I hope they get to enjoy a couple of days in Anahiem. Things looked promising after that 10-6 early score. It is kind of unfortunate that 32 teams only get to play only 1 game.
Good Friday morning to everyone! Hope everyone had a good evening, and slept well last night.
Coffee, freshly made juices, tea, cider, etc., are ready to pour, Friday morning danishes, doughnuts, bagels and bear claws are on the counter.
Dale, they did try, I'll give them that much. On the other hand, it seemed to me that the guys as a whole, just weren't working as a t-e-a-m, and it could have been a more exciting game to watch, if they had. Okay, getting of my now.
Instead of a Friday Fish Fry, what do you all say about a Friday Fish Grill-Out?!?!
If there is a pie or something I will just have that.
My brackets are in trouble already. ( I had USC playing in the Championship game)
cherokee woman wrote:Looks like nobody's been in, since I put breakfast out this morning. Well, if anyone shows up, then I guess I'll start the Friday Fish Fry (or Friday Fish Grill-Out). Maybe I should have asked yesterday, who would be around on Good Friday.
Sounds good.
How about those Hilltoppers? They would be quite the story if they beat UConn on sunday.
afternoon
sorry haven't been in to help CW been getting things around for spring break but it isn't very spring like outside.the snow is along the ohio/michigan line for now but we may get some yet.my bracket got a scare last night but we are still ok for now.more chores to do while bracket watching.
Guess it's time to start our Friday Fish Fry. On tonight's menu:
Cod, Catfish, Wide mouth bass, Perch; Side dishes: fries, corn on the cob, hushpuppies, cole slaw; Desserts: strawberry cheesecake, yellow cake w/caramel icing, and the following pies: apple, cherry, peach and pecan.
Joe, we've had springlike weather today, with very nice temps; but that is to change tonight, when the front comes through. Guess it'll be back to sweat pants tomorrow,instead of the shorts and t-shirt for today.
You all have a good evening, and I'll see you later.
HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY CINCINNATI UNION TERMINAL!

Art Deco at its best.
Day off today - was going to start the day off with some work on the truck, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky (still pretty chilly!) - perfect for doing some of the prep work for etching some more cap badges for the railroad. A noon sun works best - I was out there doing the exposures around 12:30. Now I just have to fire up the etchant and etch away!
After that's done comes for fun part - filling in the letters and herald with paint.
If it's really sunny tomorrow maybe I'll get the photoetch exposed on some brass for the Conductor's badges.
Perch, tartar sauce, some fries, and definitely some pie.
....Yes, beautiful Art Deco construction. Sad it's not a hub of activity as it once was. Didn't Amtrak move back in a portion of it from the Amshak.....?
Photo appears to have been taken sometime in the 40's....Believe that's an early to mid 40's GM car and the other could be a 40's Studebaker.
...36 degrees at 8 this morning....and a mention of poss. snow showers....
We really don't need any of that stuff....
apparently mother nature didn't get the memo.had to shovel outside some very wet snow.Cw thanks for breakfast.Modelcar from what I've heard the cardinal still uses part of CUT.We are going to go to CUT and a reds game sometime this summer.
