Nora!! I'm so glad you dropped by! And, I hope you will drop by whenever you can! You are always welcomed here. How are you and the family doing? I'll bet the boys are really growing, right?!?! Hope everything is going well for you.

Hi to all, I'm traveling the highways and towns of Wisconsin this week and stopped in for a cup of decaf coffee and a slice of CW's great pie (cherry or lemon please). I was in Minnesota last week and Wisconsin this week and back in Illinois next week for some local work (not to mention an entire week sleeping in my own bed....HURRAY!). Hope all is well with y'all and hope to visit again later this week. Stay safe!
Nora! Don't be such a stranger! We've missed you around here!

Or should that be good morning.... Oh well, at any rate, It a beautiful night here just under 30 degrees and sadly here in town there is not much snow left. I got to go snowshoeing finally up in the Wind River Mountians, and it was BEAUTIFUL! I will try and post a photo later. The first week of college classes for the Springs semester is done and the second week is beginning but going slowly. Hopefully things will go better than last semester and hopefully I can get my GPA up....

Good Wednesday morning, everyone! We're starting the day with a temp of 16 degrees (in town) and 13 degrees (NWS offical reading at airport), going for a high today in the mid to upper 30s. Supposed to be 32 around noon.
We are all certainly very glad to see some of our old friends back in here! Now, we need to get a few more of them back in here: JHH, Dan Harmon, Zardoz, Mark H., Tina, Kathi, Jesse (one of our newer friends), etc. Speaking of older friends, I wonder how our friend Kevin is (the one who lives up in Quebec). And nance69, where are you??
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, and hot water for tea are all ready.
On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, hash browns & tater tots, and homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, sliced pineapple and there's even some grapefruit.
You all have a very good morning, stay warm and take care.
good morning
whoa Nora was here??? wow.Did see some more noranges last night on NS.Cw thanks for breakfast.well our boss told us we are trimming down the extra workload nicely.Time for a nap.

Good morning everybody. 26 degrees and sunny in Carolina this morning. It is supposed to get up to 42 today, but was supposed to do the same yesterday when it only got up to 29. Our brief fling with snow is over and only vestiges remain in shaded areas. Alas, I like a heavy dusting, but they are few and far between here. Thanks for breakfast, and everybody stay safe and warm

Looks like it's been kind of slow in here this morning. People must be tired from yesterday. We were supposed to have 30, 32 degrees by noon, but the temp has only gotten to about 26 degrees. Think we may find it hard to reach 36, 37 by 5 p.m. today. There is a breeze from the south, but it is on the chilly side.
On the warmer bar: there's some breakfast selections left for those on the west coast; and for the rest of us: Beef pasta, broccoli w/cheddar cheese sauce, creamed peas for anyone who doesn't care for broccoli, country fried steak w/steak fries, along with the creamed peas, broccoli, mashed taters w/milk gravy and corn. There's also some biscuits, with various jams and jellies.
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep safe and take care.
CW, that looks like a good lunch, except for the peas (Please keep your English peas).
Tom, I much prefer a light dusting that the sun will burn off to anything that requires a shovel or blower. It is especially bad if the schoolchildren have mashed the new-fallen snow down before I can get to it. Of course, we do what we have to do.
Larry, how's the grandchild?

Deggesty Larry, how's the grandchild?
She's home as of last night. I presume that means in relatively good health, although I'd imagine there's some antibiotics in her near future.
....Watched the beautiful church service conducted late this morning in the National Cathedral in Washington for the beginning of the new Adminstration. Believe it was the most moving {for us}, program we've seen including all of yesterday's broadcast out over the TV air waves. The beautiful pic's coming to us this morning and the sound clear as a bell....of which I can play in concert thru the Stereo system from input from the TV. Just wonderful.
The National Cathedral is such an impressive structure and so awesome when one attends a function inside. Had the pleasure some years ago to tour all through it. Believe it was under construction for over a hundred years until it was actually deemed finished. Believe that was under the first Pres. Bush Adm.
Weather here in Muncie now....partly cloudy. Which means we're seeing some sunshine today. Cold this morning again...14 when I first looked but now has risen to over 25 and possibly to 32 yet today....

tree68 Deggesty Larry, how's the grandchild? She's home as of last night. I presume that means in relatively good health, although I'd imagine there's some antibiotics in her near future.
It's wonderful what has been discovered that can fight stuff that formerly had to be simply waited out.
Larry, I wouldn't be surprised if there were antibiotics in her present, too.
Springtime occurred as promised yesterday--I returned to work today to find retarders in working order (that didn't last!--had to get one fixed), some tracks restored to service, and everyone's switches functioning. We brought down the receiving yard count by about 400 cars, in spite of a steady stream of arrivals.
We were promised temperatures in the mid-20s for today, and that was delivered. The tower thermometer was reading 33 when I left, but I think the sun affects it, despite the fact that it's in shadow.
Finally--these are the first posts made from the new family computer, purchased nearly three months ago but finally installed today. Still a lot of things needing transferring, and I have a few things to learn and unlearn. On this computer, I seem to have spell-check built in when I post, so that puts me ahead of the game.
EDIT: I wonder what I have to do to get my posts to appear in the paragraphs I put them in.
Fresh edit: Figured it out!
CShaveRRLarry, I wouldn't be surprised if there were antibiotics in her present, too
For sure. That's really what I meant - I was just referring to the usual 10 day course...
But she did manage a trip to Bass Pro with her Dad!
Fishing cures a great many ills!
Glad to hear she is doing better!
Good Thursday morning, everyone. Looks like a very good day in store for us here in Louisville: we're at 29, 30 degrees this morning, and supposed to have a high today in the low to mid 40s. It'll seem like spring time around here!
Larry, I'm glad to hear that Evie is on the mend, and back home with her parents! Hope they are all doing good this morning.
Mookie, fishing does sound like a good idea, doesn't it? Even though I've never been fishing, I don't think I'd mind going, and sitting on the bank with a fishing rod in the water. (Maybe in a few months, when the temps are a little bit warmer, that is.)
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot water for tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning:
bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, pineapple slices, cantaloupe slices and muffins: blueberry & chocolate chip.
Everyone have a good morning, keep warm and take care.
Cw thanks for breakfast.Have been fishing at grand lake in celina before.Used to take my nephews out and see what we could catch.Larry glad to see the grandkid on the mend.my nephew is also on the mend after having his tonsils out.in the traffic department they are talking about making clinton st wider from the jr.high south.This would also include the infamous clinton st.viaduct.Time will tell to see what happens.they need to find some $$ first.time for a nap.
Thanks CW, I am stopping by for a hot chocolate and a bear claw to go as I head out the hotel door to drive to Appleton, WI this morning and then to Madison (and back to Hartford) before ending my day. Temps this morning about 12F here and predicted to go up to about 25F later today (we hope)...have a safe and wonderful day everyone!

Joe: Is it cheaper than in a hospital?
.......27 degrees and beautiful sunshine.
Sometimes I wonder if Muncie goes south for the winter.
We are at 14 supposed to go up to 32 but I really don't think we are going to make it. The 10 day forecast from weather.com says no above freezing temperatures any time this month. Anybody need snow? We have plenty.

jeatonSometimes I wonder if Muncie goes south for the winter.
I understand why you might say that....We have had a bundle of sunshiny days this season. That certainly helps one to glide thru the winter better.
But........We can get nasty cold here and many times with wind. Snowfall on the avg. is not bad....Roughly, 25 to 27" a season.
That's not much for my way of thinking as we're natives from western Pennsylvania at an elevation of 2000' and that can produce much snowfall. Have seen as much as 188" of snow in that area a season. Elevation here in Muncie airport: About 940'.
We here in Muncie are hit with ice storms occasionally too. But generally, it could be a lot worse.
And for today.....the bright sunshine blazes on....right in my window here in the home office. Temp right now....30.7 degrees.
Good morning and thanks for a late breakfast. 41 degrees in Carolina, up from 26 at sunrise, with plenty of sunshine to make the day. I had to light out early to get some packages to FedEx and am just getting home and settled down. Think a nap is in order. Ta
Evening everyone.....
Greetings from picturesque Whately, MA, home of the Filling Station Diner, as featured on the Food Network. Nice old "Princess" style diner, and good food.
Was just down the road this morning delivering bottles to Berkshire Brewing, a local microbrewery. Had to make three attempts to get in their driveway, snowbanks were a little too close to where my tires needed to go. When in doubt, give it more fuel....
Will sit in the corner booth and enjoy dinner...
