Looks like the heavy stuff is staying south of us, though.
It's a good morning for a bearclaw and some tea.
What is a bearclaw when it's not in the woods ?

....Is the spiral tunnel still in use...?

I live right in the heart of the rocky mountains in BC,near the Spiral Tunnel.
I am down in the valley so we are at about 1500'.
....That makes me shudder about winter just by reading that....What is the elevation of your location....? Snow already....!
Well speaking of bear claws,I have 3 black bears laying on the grass in my front yard as I speak.
Where I live winter is on the way,cold today and raining down here in the lower part and
a few hundred feet higher the mountains tops have a new coat of snow on the top.
I can count the warm days we had this year on my fingers.
Good morning. Not feeling all that great this morning. At present, 81 and sunny, but as usual, a chance of lightning later. This really gets old and I will be proud to see cooler weather set in to stay. Quack visit went fairly well, but I am scheduled for a series of home nurse visits again on account of a wound that has not healed. Here we go again..... I think I will go back to bed and sleep it off. Take care

.....60 cloudy degrees this morning....Streets are dry from overnight. We had some thunder roll thru here around midnight but think not much became of it here. They said we'd see some rain, if we did, it was very little. Haven't walked outside yet for the paper and check our rain gauge. Still need more, that's for sure. Yard has recovered a little.
Oops....See some blue sky breaking thru over in our eastern sky. Looks like clouds might break up and we might be having sunshine....
Edit: Did get .04" if rain sometime during the overnight....

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Well, we were awakened at 3 a.m., with thunder and lightning, then we heard the rain start. It all seems to be just about out of the area now, and our high today is to be in the upper 70s, right about 77 degrees. What is going to be so nice!
Coffee, juice(s), and hot water for tea are ready; and on the breakfast warmer bar this morning: oatmeal (raisins & spice), toast, eggs, turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits & sausage gravy.
So you all have a good morning, and I'll see you all whenever I get through with the Produce crowd.
We won't see Ike unless what's left of him loops up through Mookie territory, across Carl's neck of the woods and on to us.
That doesn't mean we don't get the danged things - several have caused substantial damage up this way - mostly from the rain.
Picnic for work is tomorrow. Looks like it should be nice, but we can get inside if we have to.
Time for a couple of chores and then bed.
Yeah, my dr. appointment was a regular follow-up appt., and spent two hours and 10, 15 minutes before I was even called to the back, and then to an exam room. Everything o.k.: bp was 122/70, and I've lost five pounds since my last visit to him. Mutt and I will go to his office tomorrow, for our flu shots, then I don't have to go back for another visit until 12/08/08. But, next Wednesday, the 17th, I go back to the surgeon for my one year after surgery visit.
Mookie, you lunch menu sounds pretty good: think I'll continue that for tonight's supper, along with freshly made (on the stove top now, simmering) beef stew, and will make some cornbread in a couple of hours to have with the stew. Everything should be ready for you guys and gals to eat at around 6:45, 7:00 p.m. EDT.
Supposed to have some rain coming in later tonight. Not sure exactly what time frame it is supposed to be in, but will continue on into tomorrow morning, sometime.
Have a good afternoon (what's left of it, here on the East side of the country, and see you all later.
mookie
should be on its way.we'll keep our eyes open for others.time for a nap.sounds like the dispatcher gave a slow order for FC.

No wonder the stock market is up with all the doctor appointments! Keep the economy going, good people!
It's been raining! We are pleased! Pretty stiff wind out of north this afternoon and they say..... 41 degrees tonite? Forget covering the plants - gonna cover Mookie with a couple of blankets! Ah the 5th season - sumall.
Lunch today should be a picnic on the porch - fried chix (sorry MC), corn on the cob, salad of choice, usual asst of beverages and lots of napkins. Watermelon and choc cake! Ok, I got mine!
Yo Joe - going back to your bluebonnet B unit - I just saw one of ours the other day - but they are all the old GN green and black 60's B units. Send yours. We need some variety.

No A/C at my house, but I did notice that my furnace was running this morning. Must be because I left the window out of the back storm door...
.....A bright {to be}, sunny morning....Clear sky and at 7 am, 59 degrees. Should be a real nice day. Maybe A/C season is coming to an end. We really can have nice weather in Sept. and many times in Oct. Blue sky days and low humidity, etc....cool nights.
Best wishes to all in this new week.
Good Monday morning, everyone. We've got a pleasant 66 degrees this morning, and going for a high in the mid 80s, with the muggies.
Coffee, juices, lemonade and hot water for tea are all ready. On the breakfast warmer bar, you'll find: BLTs, oatmeal, toast, bagels and bear claws this morning.
Today is "doctor day" for me, a visit with my primary care doctor. So, I'm not sure if I'll be back in time to get lunch ready. So, if one of you could take care of that for me, I'd really appreciate that.
You all have a good morning, and I'll see you all later.
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
CW , we have been busy lately runnin' back & forth to the ( dispatcher / doctor ) for suspected illness?? , by doctors??. We felt better when we were on the road. Maybe we should hit the road again. Certain freight rates have gone up, due to fuel surcharge.~~~~~ Maybe~~~ where is Rattler hidin' . However, we are in good shape for bein'in the shape were' in. We still hit the rails on 10-6 for Ohio. A different change , to see the highway from the rails. Izzat you fryin' taters and pork chops with snap beans w/ corn cake??? ~~~~ my my, larapin good. For now, just waitin' for more ( cartoons) from doctor doctor LOL LOL Ahhhhh life is good .
Respectfully, Cannonball & Shirl
Good morning, folks. I just got up here and at the moment we have a cloudy, overcast sky here in Sioux Falls and our temp is at 53.4 degrees. It rained here yesterday, and we have a 60% chance of precipitation tomorrow. I've got roughly three hours to kill before I head for work this morning.
I was up kind of late last night, a very nice young lady in Louisville called me last night, and we were on the phone yakking with each other for at least an hour and a half. I sure enjoy my conversations with Sarah. I told her that I will try calling her again in November.
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
....Not that much Brian. But Hendrick is the group I root for.
Believe I've seen a young man interviewed recently but really don't remember the name. Seems they were excited about the young man up and coming to one day fill in, in the Sprint series.
Yes, Jimmy, Gordon and Earnhardt are the ones I favor....There are lots of good fellows on the circuit but these have been the teams I've rooted for, for quite a while.
Hope the weather clears to allow the event to run today....Should be a good one on the smallish track with some banking and quite a few hot teams competing for a slot to run for the "gold".
Brian (IA) http://blhanel.rrpicturearchives.net.
......65 degrees now, and very light rain....very light. But we're told it will be off and on until about noon. That was the forecast last night.
We do need the rain, for sure.
Hope it stopped {raining}, down in Virginia for today as our Nascar race was posponed...{all activity}, for yesterday and the Sprint race scheduled for today. Important race as the results from it decides who runs for the "gold" the next 10 races. Qualifying was rained out so they line up in order of current points.
Looked like the last of Hanna was up over New England last night. Neighbors have a summer home in N H, so I'd bet they were in the middle of it.
For today: Start on here....Church.....Lunch....and then Nascar.
A good Sunday for all.
Daggone it!! I went to bed a few minutes too early last night, didn't I?!?! Missed out on the chocolate cake, durn it. Oh well, I'll just have a slice of chocolate cake w/my breakfast.
Good Sunday morning, everyone. It's a very pleasant morning: temp is about 66 degrees, and looking for a high around 85, 86, with cloudy conditions this morning, and some sun this afternoon.
Coffee, juice (s), and other beverages are ready; and on the breakfast bar, you'll find turkey bacon, sausage, pancakes, scrambled eggs, cinnamon rolls and muffins.
Sunday Dinner today will be:
1. beef stew w/cornbread, fresh sliced tomatoes
2. country fried steak w/mashed taters, gravy, green beans and corn.
You all have a great morning, and I'll be around here somewhere (you never know where I'll be 'hiding').
good morning
