....Just a few drops of real light rain in the last hour. Really don't expect much until the Hurricane headed to Ed's area makes landfall and swings northwest and continues to curve east then, and heads almost right over us. If that happens, we'll get the rain we actually need. Hope the muggys and wind stay away though.

Joe - heard someone whisper "hurricane" to them, so they hurried for home.
CW - we are sending rain, but it is so humid here, the wind can't blow.

Tom, we have your suggestion for supper tonight: barbecue pork, ribs (baby back) and cracklin' bread; along with:
burgers, cheeseburgers, fries and salad of your choice.
Looks like it could start raining any time, but nothing yet. Air is really still. Hope that doesn't means storms later tonight.
Cw thanks for supper.We have family birthdays close for the start of every season of the year.Matt and I found a bunch of wild turkeys crossing our road on our way home.Its only 2 months until thanksgiving.............

Well, it's lunch time, and here's what I've got fixed for this afternoon:
Nice and hot open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters, gravy, green beans, corn, some of our last homegrown (so far) tomatoes, sliced and cooled in the fridge, and your choice of cole slaw or salad.
Any requests for supper tonight?? If so, let me know. If not, I'll think of something.
Larry, you're pretty close on the Fall's start date: September 22nd.

That's the current temp at 8:18 at the airport.
Hello! Mother Nature! Fall doesn't start until, what, the 21st?!?!?
Gonna have to warm up the bearclaw this morning.

morning
modelcar according to our weather guessers we'll get rain tonight friday and saturday.we'll see what happens.working on planning a trip to eastern ohio to get 3 boys together on a train.Time for a nap and then tonight is friday.Cw thanks for breakfast.
.....Boy, the sun is certainly moving south. Each morning here in the home office, as I look out my east window it continues to be farther on the way.
It will be a bright opening with clear skies, and temp now is 57. Believe we're to get into the low 80's today. Certainly nice weather with plenty of sunshine but we are still in need of rain.
Best to all on our new day.
Good Thursday morning,everyone. Roy, Crystal is more than welcome to come in to the Cafe, anytime she wants. The more the merrier around here (and we need more females in here. I have been reading her thread!
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are all ready to go.
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: Raisin & spice oatmeal w/toast, sausage/egg/biscuits, bagels, bear claws. If there's anything else you want, just let me know.
We are starting off this morning in Louisville, KY with temps in the low to mid 60s. Our high yesterday only reached 82, and we're to top out at 86. Have a chance for some rain coming in this afternoon, I believe, and a bigger chance of storms coming in around 5, 6 this evening.
You all have a good morning, and take care.
Evening folks,
Dropping by for a quick bit of desert on the way home (The wife has choir practice to run on Wed and Thurs).
Hope you will welcome Crystal to the Cafe as she is a new member of the forum, A female Steam Engineer and Air Force vet.
Handled herself very well on her first thread.

Forgot what our temp finally got down to this morning, but at 2:05, the temp is 77.5; not bad for this time of the afternoon!
Tom and Mookie: I don't know exactly where the guage is at our airport, where the NWS is located, but I'd make a guess that they probably have it under the control tower, in the shade, where it doesn't get anything in it, unless the wind is blowing the rain sideways.
Mudchicken, how are the dogs with opossums?
CP, CW - thanks for the explanation of bear claw, much appreciated. One has to educate these foreigners, you know.

Yes, I can believe it, all of it!! (Digs basement shelter frantically before Mook gets hold of him)

Tom - now I know. I always wondered why we had gully washers here at our house and the airport reported "officially" a trace. Now I know - under a trash can would be very believeable!
Pork roast and sauerkraut for supper tonite - Driver's favorite dish. Neighbor will faint from the smell of the ***. But it is so good, otherwise!
Family is growing - if you are missing your sparrows or turtledoves, they are in our backyard at the buffet. Also, 2 rabbits that eat peanuts as well as birdy seed, 9-11 squirrels and one black squirrel that we see every so often.
Squirrels come to door and knock and rabbits now starting to sit next to you waiting for their peanut. We keep our distance since always fear wildlife with teeth, so the minute the back door opens, peanuts go flying and everyone chases them like trained puppies. Bluejays almost catch them in the air.
Hey, we are cheap dates!
....53 degrees and clear skies this morning. Looks like a very nice day.
Bear claws.....Guess I haven't heard of goodies with that name applied. {That is a good pic Larry}. Suppose different regions apply different names to such stuff.
But, we have a such a home town place here that has their own fresh goodies each day....Concannon's....That's where one goes to purchase such stuff. Yesterday we did stop there and purchased some donuts..{glazed}, and of course as always, great. Had a picnic type lunch with us and stopped at our former depot, now Trail Head and parked and had lunch....and finished off with the glazed donuts.
Had quite a bit of activity on the scanner but no trains passed in front of us...but they were whistling all over Muncie at other routes, but not where we were. Can't out guess them. Did have to wait for one on the Frankfort line {NS}, as we were coming into town.
Big motorcycle race down at Indy 500 track this weekend so that will bring in 100,000 plus people....{not our interest at all}. Know of 2 or 3 couples riding up from Florida to be here {with their wives}, on motorcycles....Better them than us.
good morning
a chilly start to the morning.I could see my breath at 5 o clock break.Matt is on time this morning.Before work I saw an NS eastbound with alot of tractors going east.going to take a nap then help mamma with chores.
Good Wednesday morning, everyone! Well, we haven't quite made it to the mid 50s yet, this morning, but our current temp is 59, but they say it'll drop a few more degrees until the sun rises. Who knows? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Larry, your picture of a bear claw is making me very, very hungry this morning!
Coffee, oj/oj-tangerine, pineapple and apple juice are all ready to pour this morning, along with hot water for tea, and hot about some hot chocolate this morning?
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hot oatmeal w/toast, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, muffins, bagels and bear claws.
Does anyone have any requests for lunch and supper? If so, please let me know between 9 and 10 a.m., edt, so I can start to prepare it.
Mookie wrote:wonder if they make a bearclaw with chocolate cake inside.....hmmmm....
It would certainly be in the realm of the possible.
From a well known bakery products company:
One place I used to go would put a little melted butter on my bearclaw and throw it on the grill for a moment or two....
Dad has been planning this trip for awhile.we have too many other things going on here.Someday.Bearclaw or jellyroll we'll take one or the other.

Tree - you can have bearclaw - I prefer the sour cream crullers - to die for - which if you eat enough of them, you can do, happily!
Dennis, a bear claw is a sweet breakfast food that is almond-flavored, yeast-raised pastry, shaped in a large, irregular semicircle w/slices around the outside, resembling the shape of a bear's claw. Hence, the name bear claw. They're really very good!!
Dennis, here in the United States a "bearclaw" is a pastry item made in a lot of our bakeries, it is generally a sweet roll and would be about the size of a bear's paw.
Ray
Joe, forgot to ask Dad if you could go with him? That way, you wouldn't have had to try to get into his suitcase.
Our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now on the warmer bar:
1. Burritos (beef & bean, bean, beef, beef enchilada style)
2. Tacos (soft shell & crispy shell)
3. Chimichangas
5. Enchiladas
6. Fajitas
And, of course, we have the usual tortilla chips w/salsa, picante sauce, and cheese con queso.
Desserts: chocolate cake, hot apple pie, hot apple cobbler, peach cobbler, blueberry pie, and hot-out-of-the-oven brownies.
BTW, our high today stayed around 66 to maybe 68 degrees after that cold front came through this morning. And tonight/in the morning, the low is supposed to be in the mid 50s. Going to be a nice night to curl up under the blanket/comforter.
