....90's are coming our way too....Especially to be in that range tomorrow and Friday...Maybe a record.

Q, besides Hot and Humid, how's your all's weather today? I saw the National weather
map this morning and it was showing all the "Nasty Stuff" to the North of us, looked
like it was in your neighborhood. Drizzle this morning here, Sunny, Hot and Humid now.
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!!
....Walt, the sunshine is bright and the sky is mostly blue now and has been for several hours. We did have a bit of light rain this morning but nothing of any severity.
Rain gauge did show we had quite a bit of rain over night though. River is up and muddy too.
Just within the last hour as we returned to home here, the TV was showing bad weather stuff over in D C....and Ohio and Ky.
But the really warm stuff is to be around tomorrow. Humidity, to my surprise is down this afternoon here....
Looks like we're shaping up with a nasty tornado season. Another little town south of Indy was hit over night....Moscow, In....Rather bad damage.
Just finished my second day of job training at Arby's. I spent both yesterday and today working the fryer. There aren't hamburgers to fry, but there are certainly enough potato cakes, curly fries, cheese sticks, and popcorn chicken bites to douse in the grease. Things get pretty crazy between about 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, but it keeps me on my feet when I might otherwise be sitting at the computer or watching TV. Still have training tomorrow through Saturday and then a break before I start my regular shift.
Nasty weather is on the way for tonight. Extremely nasty weather will arrive tomorrow evening. Tornadoes are possible both tonight and tomorrow night, but tomorrow night looks the worst. We'll see what happens.

Oh Willy! I am so pleased! You are following in Aunt Mookie and Uncle Driver's footsteps.
You will always smell like a tall french fry, your feet will remind you that they really are down there and you will never have to worry about nothing to do - that's when they send you home!
Will keep a close eye on the weather. Could get interesting.

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").
Congratulations to Willy in his new job with Arby's. Much of the kind of work that he has described doing is similar to what I am doing in my part time job with Wendy's. Within the last couple months Arby's had announced their intention to purchase the entire Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburger chain. I have yet to find out if this will have any effect on my present employment, probably not, I suspect. I do wonder if any of the menu items at Wendy's will be changed after the Wendy's chain has been purchased by Arby's.
My family gathered at my sister's house for a cookout on Memorial day, and I volunteered to work that day if I could have the following Tuesday off. When I was at my sister's house, one of my other sister's, Renee, who had come home from Lincoln, Nebraska, remarked to me that I smelled like hamburgers. In that kind of an environment, anytime you are working behind a grill, or working with a "henney penny", which is used in cooking french fries in deep fat, or you are dropping breaded chicken into a deep fat fryer, you are going to end up smelling like the cooking oil that you are using.
I have an application in with one of our HY-VEE supermarkets for full time employment, working in the produce department, and I filed my application online this past Sunday. A couple guys I know quite well, who have also worked for HY-VEE at one time or another, have both assured me that HY-VEE will eventually call me for an interview. Having the job with Wendy's was something of a godsend, as when I took this job, I was unemployed for roughly five or six months. But the current manager doesn't seem to want to give me enough hours, and it is proving very difficult for me to get by on what I am earning. I know that if I can go to work full time for HY-VEE, there will be some pretty good benefits, including health insurance. I am confidently hoping that the manager and the assistant managers at Wendy's will give prospective employers a good plug for me, as I have demonstrated that I have a work ethic that a lot of others much younger than I don't have, having proven that I am dependable and reliable.
We have a 90% chance of thundrstorms in this area tonight, and in fact, there has been a flash flood advisory issued for Minnehaha County where I live tonight. Late Monday night we had gotten an inch and two thirds of rain in a thunderstorm that swept through this area. Right now we have a temp of 77 degrees and the humidity is sitting at 54%. It's been a little sticky here, and when I got up at 6:45 this morning, the humidity was much highter, at 90% I think.

Again, Congrats on your job; will have to say that that is one job I've never had to do,
(for pay, and working for an establishment like that; around the house, family and
friends places apparently don't count.)
Weather here for us is rather "Iffy"; but for once, seems like our area is Actually
"Dodging the Bullet". Seems the more severe weather is North and East of us this time.
Ray, Very Good Luck on your Endeavors; and yes, the "stickiness" Humidity is here for
us also; about two months early!
......Ray, best of luck in getting the full time employment.
As I was driving north from Maryland, my son texted me that a tornado had touched down about two miles from his house, resulting in a removed roof and other damage, and possibly an injury. The Washington area in general was very hard hit. While I don't wish damage or injury to anyone, I am mildly disappointed that I missed it....
On the other hand, I've got a box of Air Force One M&M's. Not very many to share, however. Neat airplane. Wish I could have gotten a picture of moi sitting in the big man's seat. They won't let you take much more than yourself on the airplane, however (much less a camera), and you even have to put booties on whilst on board.
Already miss the little one. What a cutie!

good morning
juice and coffee and lemonade are ready to go.we had a light show this morning at 5 am break.the muggies will be here today.
Good Thursday morning to one and all! Slept in this morning, but I'm here,and have breakfast and beverages ready. Plenty of coffee for us coffee drinkers, hot water for our tea drinkers, iced tea, and Joe's oj .
On the breakfast bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, buttermilk pancakes w/your choice of maple syrup, blueberry syrup, or strawberries to go on top; bagels w/cream cheese and bear claws.
Very warm and muggy this morning. Temp is in the mid 70s (our thermometer is showing 77 degrees outside).
Ray, hope your job plans work out for you!
Tom, if you or anyone else wants, you may have a slice of strawberry pie for breakfast!
Mookie, how's about meeting me out in the garden this morning? Seems like a very nice morning to visit the garden.
.....This will become "summer heat" today......It's 75 degrees already this morning and normally it rises 20 degrees during a day this time of the year.....Believe that = 95 degrees for today...Wow...! Muggy too.
Good luck to all with it.

Ditto that here. Nearly 1.2" of rain since around 3 AM, precisely what we don't need.

Well - back at work. Rather be in MD.....
No weather on tap here that I know of. Temps are mild. That front is hanging around, though, and the mid-Atlantic region and west of there looks to get hit again.
Everybody in their places this morning.
I was in at 4 am, but no one here, so went puttering. We had tornados west of Lincoln last nite. They sounded our sirens, but the storms never did get all that close to us. (him and me) Lincoln is becoming so sprawled out that the fringes are always in danger, but the storm did the usual thing - drove up close to Lincoln and then went north. That was bedtime. Then at 3 am, the real storm hit us - high wind and sideways rain. I heard it over a noisy fan and central air, so got up to check it out.
Tree - heard about the tornado in MD - thought about where you and family were. Glad you are all ok.
CW - bring along a really big cup of coffee - I am a little water logged this morning. Starting to grow rust on my north side.
Willy - have a college dissertation for you - Lincoln weather. I think you know what I mean. We don't have tornados, but have EF1 straight line winds. Huge storms fall apart just as the get to us. Or go around us and then reform in Omaha and Iowa. Is it our lack of "real" water?
Sun out now.
Dan
I've been past the places hit by the storm a number of times. They area has taken a beating. The storm they had last Saturday did a bit of damage, including ~$200k worth on the house of one of my son's friends.
As promised, a few pics of the grand-baby:
Love the wry smile....
"Chatting" with their neighbor after dinner on the deck.
All dressed up for "school" (day care) the morning I left.
Larry, She IS a "Little Sweetheart", with a Smile like that, it almost looks like Grandpa
shared some of those M & Ms with her!!
Larry, Baby Evie is adorable! She is going to be a real charmer when she gets older!! Of course, she's probably already got Grandpa twisted around her little finger. Definitely an adorable little girl.
Our current temp at 11:52 a.m. is 85.5 degrees. At least there's a nice breeze blowing outside.
For lunch today, I've fixed cold cut sandwiches (roast beef, turkey, bologna & cheese, tuna salad, and BLTs. And there's plenty of chips to have with your sandwiches: regular, salt & vinegar, hickory flavor, ranch, etc.
Plenty of ice cold beverages: Gatorade, lemonade, tea, and for anyone who likes it, iced coffee (can't stand itmyself, even though I do drink coffee at room temperature) and milk.
She's not into solid food yet, so no M&M's.
I did pour myself a bit of soda the other day, though, and just brushed her lips with a bit of it. She was definitely curious about that.
She's gramps little sweetheart...
Cw thanks for the BLT's for supper tonight.Larry thats a good picture.I haven't had any of Kody yet but I'm sure they will come.the yard is good for another week.time to get some supper for matthew.
.....Weather is still on the rampage.....Ok here today. Dry, but hot and humid....Hit 90.9 on my instrument a while ago.
Flooding {must have been massive rain north east of us overnight}....Highest water we've seen here in Muncie for some years. River out of channel and well up on the flood plane. All of our public park and several ball diamonds here at Yorktown are totally under water. Road from here over to old part of Yorktown looks like a causeway.
Lots of damage in our state during these passing storms producing tornados this past week. I must say we have been lucky here. My rain gauge had 2.5" of rainfall for previous 36 hrs. I know much more than that fell northeast of us to make our White River overflow as it is right now....Watch out Walt.

Its been hot, windy and very dry down here in South Texas. Its almost a repeat of 2 years ago when we got next to no rain.
You guys in the upper midwest sure have been taking a pounding.
Be careful up there...and be sure to keep your weather radio on and in the alert mode!!!!!
Hi Murray - We are due for a pounding again in about 2 hours - but will probably just be those usual straight line winds and lots and lots of rain.
Would stay and visit, but have some hugging to do on another thread.
Mook
Q, not sure if the Ohio will come up much more than it is now; according to todays paper, the lower gauge is at 13' and upper at 31', well below flood levels.
(Flood levels here for the Ohio; are 23' upper gauge, and 55' lower gauge.)
[At certain times, Steamboats have been noted to lower their stacks in order to pass under both
the highway and railroad bridges.]
For a change, we're NOT supposed to get any rain for about 36 hours.
Bit unusual for this time of year, especially since it's the 55th Annual Crusade
For Children weekend; it almost always rains one day of that. (there is a chance
of rain Sat.)
According to our thermometer, it's 92 right now and feels like the humidity is
that high also, even though it's not.
