Peeking in to see if everyone is enjoying the cool. Yep - all the furniture is covered in people!
Sir Chicken - your video came out as all commercials. Care to explain what happened? We can do it w/o the pictures if we have to....
CW - I am going to stick with cold cereal. Only thing that isn't too hot or heavy.
Dan - what is the exact date so we can all have a good cry....(I always cry at every wedding - even on tv!)
Heard a few train noises this morning. BNSF must be moving a little more. Send greenies, Joe. Will need them for our tomorrow watching.
Off to find milk.

.....And north of Louisville....it's 69 degrees and bright with just a light haze like in the sky. Looks like sunshine and more heat today for our midwest central Indiana town....It's Summer.

Good Friday morning, everyone! Looks like we had a pretty good evening here last night. That is definitely a good thing! Here in the Metro Louisville area this morning, we have a temp of 70 degrees, supposed to hit 92 by this evening. Then rain works it's way back in tomorrow, the ole "summer heat of the day" stuff.
Our Friday morning Doughnuts and Pastries are on the breakfast bar. You've got all kinds of doughnuts, danishes, bagels, bearclaws and muffins just waiting for you all.
And coffee, tea, lemonade and juices are ready to go.
I typically go through each of our A/C units twice a year. Once at the beginning of the cooling season and once at end of the cooling season. It's amazing what can work its way into those units over the winter!
Storms tonight. Last night we had a pretty good gullywasher. It won't help me get my ferns and lillies planted tonight but that's ok. I have a feeling I'll be tired from work: presently I have the 1st hour of a 12 hour shift almost done.

Mine died last summer during the hot spell and we like to have perished to death until a new unit was installed. At present, things are cool on the Pettibone Plantation.
My stepdad was asked by the repair person when was the last time the coils were cleaned and I found out it was over five years ago! The repair person said a dirty coil can cause this type of ice buildup and the coils should be cleaned at least once a year.

Good evening everyone.
Gawd, good thing you're not in the Sacramento, CA area in the past few days. The smoke from the Butte County fires north of us are so intense at times that yesterday, I nearly keeled over from the smoke and 107° F. temperatures whenever I walked outside! That was the worst breathing conditions I've experienced in many years.
Also, I've been having serious air conditioning problems lately, not a great idea with the hot temperatures recently! Fortunately, I asked someone at where I worked what caused my problems, and from that information I had a repair person come out and take a look at the air conditioning coils inside the furnace unit. Essentially, the whole A/C coil unit was completely iced up, and that caused the air conditioning to not blow air frequently. The repair person had to chip away at the ice, then asked us to run the furnace in heater mode to melt away the rest of the ice. He was then able to clean the coils and recharge the refrigerant, and now the air conditioning works great!

SHEESH!!!! Start talking about Sesame Street, the Muppets, Ms. Piggy, etc. and what does CW do; she goes out and "Roasts" the Pig for supper!! SHEESH!!!
Northeastern SC just took a pounding. There was near continuous lightning, fires all over from them with at least one church burning, and some parking lots flooded up to the windows on small cars. It passed just to the north of me, and I missed the lightning, PTL, but the City of Florence caught it. There are cars flooded out on the streets, underpasses are unpassable and numerous people stranded. Again, there are sirens all over and the scanner is full of distress calls. Yet, we are still in a drought situation? Oh, and another disaster, the ball game has been rained out! (that's where the flooded parking lot is).
CW, thanks for the supper. I will have a helping of most plus dessert. My ear is keeping me from chewing much but I am game to give it a try. Mookie, thanks for the comments on my good looks. All of the goils say that!
Take care and stay safe
Ray, those goodies you're getting ready to make for the RR Club sure do sound good, especially the fudge brownies!
Since I wasn't around to fix lunch today, and Mookie is starving, here's what I have fixed for supper tonight:
Fried chicken w/mashed taters, gravy, green beans, corn, cole slaw
Lasagna w/roasted red taters, Italian green beans and garden salad
Joe, there is a container fixed for you for your supper at work tonight.
Hope you all have a good evening, and take care.
just be careful or it could be hiiiyaaaaa!!!!

Dan, Thanks for that "link", enjoyed watching it. Guess we'll have to start watching
"Sesame Street" a bit more often than we do; (and Thomas, etc.)
(Umm, be very careful about thinking how much time you'll be spending in that Hammock!)
Ray, I probably would have gotten that way had I never seen the shows; but My
Favorite character is "Kermit"!
And for one of Mookie's Favorites; "When Pigs Fly", that would be an unmentionable
of: "When Pigs Fry"!
afternoon
went into town and got yardwork done this morning. CSX was busy fixing track between sherwood and rosedale. I liked watching the muppet show too. Cw thanks for supper.tonight is friday.
.....For anyone here interested....the video web cams are up and running again out at the Hoover Dam Bridge Bypass project.
The mammoth project of building a 2000' bridge across the Colorado River Canyon with the bridge floor to be about 900' above the river.
They had a "sky crane" failure last year that set the project back until they constructed new towers....{first ones collapsed} They are needed to take construction material out over the canyon in building the bridge.
Live web cams are now back and running....They were down for quite some time. Bridge is just down the Canyon 1700' or so below Boulder Dam structure. This is a wild project....!
For anyone looking to see it: Google "Boulder Dam Bypass project".

Musta been last night's cold front...
They weren't malnourished, though. We're pretty much overcast now.

On the way to work this morning I noticed several clouds that appeared to be regularly spaced and similarly sized:
I drove a few miles down the road and noticed that they were "multiplying:"
Struck me as interesting. I suspect it was simply a matter of waves (ground swell, if you will) forming in the atmosphere. Didn't stick around to see what happened later.
"Guess I learned how to eat a cookie and become a "Grouch" from the other."
You mean to tell me that you would sit there and watch Seseme Street?? Actually Walt, I should not tease you over this, cause I've got friends who used to insist that I am the "Original Cookie Monster"!
Our HO scale railroad club, the Sioux Valley Model Engineers Society is gearing up for it's annual fair week open house, which takes place during the annual Sioux Empire Fair. When I first joined the club in 1980 I began a tradition of providing a lot of goodies for the rest of the club's membership to munch on during the course of our open houses, this one in particular. I will start baking the cookies within the next three weeks, and there will be at least two batches of the following; chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter, molasses, ice box, dark chocolate with white or peanut butter chips, and maybe a pan of chocolate fudge brownies as well.
