If any of you live in between Omaha and Oklahoma City, now might be a good time to get your Weather Radio on and in Alert mode.
Be careful out there:

The southern line looks to be working its way in my direction.
Another night of interrupted sleep...

We had a sneeze for rain and a rumble of thunder. All over but the snoring from this house!
All of you east of us keep one ear open.

....It's trending north of us....look out Michigan. We're to have another day very similar to today. Hot and humid.

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,
I'm at the end of a two day rest from the job and wouldn't it figure, it rained for both days, the temps were nice but everything is wet and soggy.
Well since all my chores were outside work I let the wife know that I'd be working on my Train layout and that I was not to be disturbed by phone calls unless it was a dire emergency!!!
I finally purchased the project box, 22 gage wire (Blk & Red) and 7 micro toggel switches.
I spent the day soldiering the wires from the 30 structures to the switch box.
Any day I can work on my layout is a day well spent, I heard the wife tell a few people that called me that I couldn't come to the phone and that was a blessing, I hate to be deep into a project then have to leave it and come back only to find that I forgot exactly were I left off!!
Have a great 24 hours my friends, I start another 24 hr shift tomorrow so I should be off to bed, "now where did the wife put my choo choo PJ's"?????
Night All!!!

Supposedly(?) a quiet night here weather wise. Think maybe the batteries in the NWS
Radio are thankful for a break.(at least not a recharge anyway)
Jess, if any of that wire is going to your track, it should be 12-14 gauge; the 22 gauge
for building lighting is okay, but 18 gauge is better.
(modeller for over 40 years, "O" Scale (2 rail) for 30+years)
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!!
Well, 2 AM and I just got back from a tree and wires down call, plus hanging around in case somebody discovered something else. While we were out on that one, another department covered two other tree/wire calls at the other end of our district. Oddly, we were the only district to get any calls from that particular storm.
Another round is coming through - hopefully without the wind. They are promising lots of rain, however, and the weather station is already carrying a high rainfall of .63" in an hour. Might beat it yet tonight.
Time for bed.
Good Morning People!
Just dropping in for a cup of coffee and a whole blue berry pie....I'm in a hurry and will eat it on the way to work!!!
Today is drug testing day at the ambulance company, I had a pregnant friend drop by last night to loan me some (rymes with tea) and boy is the lab going to be scratching their head when they get to testing that
Have a great day, oh ya, I'll be picking up some 18 gage wire on the way home tomorrow morning, I learn so much by getting it wrong the first time!
Hope everyone has a grand day!!!
see you all down the line!!!

Good Friday morning to one and all. Very muggy here this morning. Temps are in the mid to upper 70s, and humidity is at 78%. You sure can tell it's Crusade for Children time around Kentuckiana.
Coffee, tea and juices are ready, and our Friday Morning doughnuts, danishes, bagels and bear claws are on the counter.
Guess I'd better get a couple more blueberry pies out of the freezer, and put into the oven. Then, I'm going to head right outside the door, and watch the trains go by.
morning
hazy hot and humid today.sounds like i need to go to an auction in atlanta.I could buy evander holyfields house.i think i heard it had 17 bathrooms??better get the monopoly money.
stay safe
joe
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").
Jess, If I hadn't read the first part of your post about the Blueberry Pie, and looked
at your signature the wrong way, I would have thought you were into CPR Recerts.
(Resusci-Annie is hard on the lips!)
Experience IS a Very Good Teacher!
(if it weren't for that, I'd know less than I think I know)
Now about the "Drug Test".........
Joe, if they'll accept that kind of money, there's a very large, nice house here that
we'd like to buy.......we should have enough to pay cash for it!!
(17 bathrooms?.....certainly no waiting...)

Yeah - but I'd lose track of my "bathroom reading..."
Still not awake - can't deal with losing sleep like I used to.
Still thunderbumpers in the forecast. Radar isn't showing anything right now, but they do nicely popping up all by themselves.
Same forecast for tomorrow - might be a wet day on the railroad.
I'm on a chicken hunt! Gotta find da chicken! Gotta get him at least in da 'hood.....
Someone put out as-per-gus (I think it is the Gus part that he likes!) Must be in hiding - gotta go look......

Simple solution, 17 of the same Subscriptions, one for each!!
(of course you'd have to have A LOT of Bookmarks! )
Mook, you might try some "Sweet Tea", I think he likes that.
.....Warm, warm, warm......88.5 now with high humidity. Lots of sunshine. Jean and I have been catching up on stuff around the outside here this morning and it's time to back off a bit. So we're headed overtown to do some errands. Air in the Xtreme will feel good.
Yard mowing to do yet today too.....lunch somewhere in the middle.
Quentin, went outside this morning, and cleared the stuff growing up the front fence. It was nice, as I was working in the shade, for most of it. But when I got to the end of the fence, the sun was shining very brightly. Will do the inside on that section tomorrow morning, before the sun starts shining too brightly.
I've got our Friday Fish Fry ready and on the warmer bar. All the regular kinds of fish, and side dishes. Also our regular dessert menu of cake, pies and cobblers.
CW....Now have all the items taken care of that I mentioned this morning except the mowing but I'll wait until the sun is lower. No use to work in that heat now. I can do the mowing in an hour...Just went to fill my gas can for the tractor....Guess that's really the hard part....Never dreamed it would cost that much to fill a 2 1/2 gal can. But I can mow almost 5 times with it.....{.65 of an acre}, so really that is pretty good on the tractor's part. But....we're going to wait until it backs off the heat a bit....92.1 now and of course very humid.
Eveyone be careful of that heat out there.....
Cw thanks for supper.We had an appointment scheduled for our ac tune-up this afternoon but they were tied up at another house.We are re-booked for monday.Been checking in on our neighboors and my Dad.everyone is keeping their cool.hey mook set out a cooler full of gatorade and see what comes by.
rolled out the gatorade, put out the seed. All I got was a roadrunner......
I think he is hiding.....
Joe, how about we make that two coolers full of Gatorade? Maybe that will really lure in the mudchicken!! Glad your dad and neighbors are all doing all right.
Just finished frying more fish for tonight. On tonight's menu:
1. Icelandic Cod
2. Hallibut
3. Flounder
4. Perch
5. Jumbo Shrimp
Side dishes: corn on the cob, baked beans, fries, hushpuppies, cole slaw, and the following pies: apple, cherry, peach, pecan, and two cobblers: blueberry and strawberry.
Quentin, it's really been very hot here this afternoon. Not sure if we broke the record for today, but I believe it's very close. The record high for this date, if I remember what they said earlier, is 94. Our thermometer is reading 91 right now. And we have at least another hour or two before it even starts to cool down.

What year was that Plymouth Roadrunner?
Are you absolutely sure that it was the "ACME" Brand?!
(or was that the reason coyote could never catch that bird?!)
.....Only in the 70's now....Haven't open any window or door, but I'll bet the humidity is sky high. Lots of weather systems over Indiana last night again....Once again, we lucked out. It went past here but was very tame. We're looking at hot temps again today according of TV report a few min. ago from Indy.
Appears {from radar and TV}, lots of flooding headed down thru southern Indiana from last night.....Watch out there in Louisville....Walt and CW. I believe most of our precip in the river from here exits by Evansville but there was massive rain all thru southern Indiana last night....and more storm damage...Trees down thru house roofs, etc....Don't know all details of it yet.
Am I the first in here this morning......Saturday morning sleepers I suppose.

....Willy2:
I'd put forth my honest and {reasonable}, opinion of a subject and not worry about critical responses....After all, this is simply a back and forth conversation of RR subjects. {Sometimes others}.
Willy, I agree with what Quentin just said. And in my opinion, you haven't done anything wrong, so if I were you, I would not be overly concerned about what others are saying in the waving thread.
Ray ooo oo ooOOOOOo
Hi everyone. Sorry about being so late this morning. Just had to go back to bed for more sleep.
Coffee, tea, juices are ready to go. On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, pancakes & waffles with syrups, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, sliced pineapple, cinnamon rolls, bagels and bear claws.
Willy, it's been a couple of days since I read that thread; but will now go back, and catch up on reading it. I doubt that you did anything wrong.
It's very cloudy out right now. Current temp is 79 degrees. This is Crusade Saturday, with all the firefighters out on roadblocks, collecting for the children. They're usually burning in the sun, or getting soaked due to rain showers/thunder showers.
You all have a good morning, and I'll see you all later, for our Saturday Night Pizza Fest.
Q, seems most of the "Weather" (according to the maps) has been between Louisville
and Muncie. (north of the River, but south of everything else.)
Wouldn't most of your alls precip. run off before Lou., instead of the Evansville, Owensboro
and Henderson area?
Willy, I went back and glanced at that thread, don't believe you did anything
wrong at all....don't worry about it....people are just being people;
just remember that not everyone agrees with everyone else.
