After reading this, Trapper (aka "Stealth Cat") decided to sample something besides cake.
Catnip plant was in transition from one "Cat proof place"? to another.
I would like a piece of cake also, if there's any left!
Cloudy, 83 degrees here right now, no sign of those thundershowers that were promised.

....Cool Tom...I am not...Just got off the John deere finishing up the yard mowing for today. It's not that hot by the thermometer but boy, that sun still has power and it is shining bright today. So we're in here cooling off a bit before thinking what's next. Need some lunch soon.
Actually, the thermometer is showing just 83 plus, but the sun is really driving it home....

Well, since no one gave me any requests for today, here's what I've come up with:
meat loaf w/mashed taters and gravy, you choice ofgreen beans or broccoli and cauliflower w/cheese sauce, applesauce flavored w/cinnamon and fresh baked homemade biscuits and dinner rolls.
Desserts today: Dutch apple pie, chocolate cake w/white icing, yellow cake w/chocolate icing, and white cake w/coconut icing.
.....Temps. on the rise from {now 76}, and bright sunshine and probably no rain again for several days.
Lots of dew on the grass this morning but as soon as it is dry enough, we'll be out with the John Deere doing another mowing.
A bit damp here overnight - 2/3" of rain. Sun's out now, though, so I can get the lawn mowed before I hit the road.
Off to pack the truck.....

Good Wednesday morning everyone. It's a little bit on the wet side out this a.m. We had a pretty good rain come in sometime after midnight (I didn't hear a thing after I went to bed), and had moved east of us, by the time I awoke at 4;45 this morning. But, we're supposed to have a little bit more coming in sometime later this morning, and that's not supposed to amount to much, maybe just sprinkles or drizzle. Right now, our temp's in the low 70s, going for a high in the low to mid 80s, I think I heard. But either tomorrow night, or Friday night, they say we could have lows in the low to mid 60s. That would be sooooo nice!
Coffee is ready, fresh juices, iced tea and lemonade are also freshly made this morning. And, on the breakfast bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast, biscuits w/sausage gravy, fresh cantaloupe, watermelon, bagels and bear claws and some chocolate chip muffins.
Does anyone have any requests for lunch and supper? If so, please let me know, and I'll put it on today's menu.
You all have a great morning, take care, and keep safe!!

Joe, I see you got your plate for work tonight. That's good to know. We're under a severe thunderstorm watch until 11 p.m. South of us, in Brandenberg or in Brekcinridge County, they were under a severe thunderstorm warning about a half hour or so ago. Guess it's heading our way, more than likely. Think I'll feed the dog and take her out before it hits our area. You all have a great evening, and take care!!
Afternoon
we have had a few showers pass by us today.Most of the rain has gone to the south of us.Muggy outside right now.Cw thanks for supper.Ed hope you stay dry.Larry Matt is counting down to next week.

.....And yes, Walt....it looks like I've got job security in that yard mowing as we got 1.7" of rain overnight to keep it growing. But that makes those darn shrubs grow too and that means continous trimming.
Hang on to the 'brella Ed.....

Randy, "Crack the Horn" more than a few times going across the I-65 JFK Bridge and
wake up those painters!!! After over 10 years and X millions dollars paid out, they still
haven't finished that paint job.
You're still very welcome to stop by the house for a "Home Cooked Meal" though.
(and how much did the "Bandits" at Waddy want for fuel? I used to get diesel for my
pick-up there when going back and forth to Frankfort for National Guard Drill.)

mudchicken, they make tennies like that?! I need a pair of them!
//edit: if we get the rain from the hurricane Houston Ed's talking about, we may
have to start doing like Quentin does, and cut our grass every 4 days!!
Muddy Feathers, hope you guys get some soon, think you need it worse than us!
We had a Very hard shower about 11:00am and picked up about 1/2 inch of rain.

Brown grass to kelp bed in 24 hours huh?
(Send some of that agua on west so it can turn and come north through here)
....Randy:
Sounds like you might have crossed thru that "I-40 gorge" after dark last evening...If it's the one I think it is, that's a bit tight thru there and never cared for those miles to get thru there.
Have stopped in at Saluda {if you mean the little town}, there on our way back and forth to Florida quite a few times looking for action on that "hill" but never lucked out. Never seen a train work it's way up or down that "hill"....Once waited 4 hrs. before giving up. Yes, it was still being used at that time.

Hello you all: I'm back from Produce! We only had 82 people today!! That's much better than the 106 from last week, believe you me. Delivered today: canaloupe, plums, green onions, cabbage and lettuce. Guess it'll be a long time before we get taters and regular onions again.
Our menu for today: Mexican Fiesta Day:
1. Burritos: beef, beef & bean and beef enchilada style2. Tacos: crunchy shell and soft shell3. Tamales: mild, medium and hot4. Quesadillas5. Chimichongas6. Enchiladas
We also have: tortilla chips w/salsa and con queso, Spanish rice, and shredded lettuce w/diced onion and tomatoes.
Dessert: the various cakes, pies and cobblers on our regular menu, along with ice cream and homemade banana pudding, and oatmeal-raisin cookies.
RANDY: if you're coming up 64 to 65, we more than likely won't be able to hear you. That's a little too far from our house. Now, if you were on 264 East, going towards downtown Louisville, we MIGHT be able to hear you as you go by!!

You expected this old dirty bird to be gracefull and dance in my lace-up/high top/steel toed tennies?
....looks like Houston Ed will be near the center of activity with the big weather system landing into Texas. Hang on Ed....
Jess - I won't mention the "Q" word...
Someone once told me that the reason a person marries another may well be the same reason they eventually divorce. You know - you married them because they were outgoing and funloving, but now that it's time to settle down and raise a family, they're still going out and loving the fun... Of course, there are plenty of variations on the theme.
Last day of work for a week. Pack up tomorrow and hit the road Thursday for MI. Got a class reunion and a picnic to attend, plus a visit to the mudhens in Flint, the RR at Greenfield Village, and a certain diamond in Ohio.
....Jess:
Sorry your concern and efforts didn't succeed in working with your two friends. Sounds like a noble try....That's worth something.
Our day here is continuing with overcast sky and rain. Dropped 1.7" on us overnight. Some wind must have occured too as some of our wildflower bunches of Cosmos are down.....They are so nice this year.
Looks like a rainy day today. Not bad, as we've been needing some rain even though this area is way ahead with it's avg. rainfall....Much of it this spring.
I note the CSX double main {ex. NYC...Conrail}, line thru here must be due for some update on resurfacing....New ties are all along the ROW now for upcoming work to be done. It's been quite a few years since new CWR was put down thru here and the line does see a generous amount of traffic.
morning
had some rain overnight.might be getting some more around lunchtime.A college help lad forgot where he left a fan while unloading a container.after it was empty the container left the dock,so did the fan!!! Its back in maintenance getting repaired.Ed hope you don't get flooded from TS Ed today.
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. It's gonna be another 3 H day: hazy, hot and humid! Hopefully, by tonight, we'll be getting that cold front through here, bringing some rain. (I almost wouldn't mind seeing some rain this morning: maybe some of these new nincompoops wouldn't show up for Tuesday Produce!)
Jess, glad you had a great time with your grandsons. Sorry to hear about your friends. Hope you do have an easy boring day at work. It's going to be so hot, you'll probably have calls on heat related cases.
Coffee is ready, and fresh juices and teas have been made and are in the fridge. On the breakfast bar: bear claws, bagels w/cream cheese, cantaloupe, watermelon, sausage/egg/cheese biscuit sandwiches.
You all have a great morning, stay as cool as possible, and take care, all of you!!
Good Morning CW and friends.
I enjoy stopping in here to see what people have been up too and what they have to say, I begin almost every morning doing just this.
I had yesterday off from the EMT Base and enjoyed my time with the two Grandsons, we didn't get any train time in but we did have some fun in the pool as it was a hot and muggy one here.
Each day when I rise I like to offer 1/2 my spiritual strength to some one who could use it and this morning it is on loan too a native couple whom I've known about 10 years and who have been married for 7, they are seeking a divorce and I was unsuccessful in brokering a mediation of the hearts, I tried my best but it wasn't enough, I wish them both the very best today and in the years to come.
I'll grab a cup of coffee and a bear claw and get the heck too work, may no one need my services today!
