MookieGee Toto - I don't think we are in Nebraska any more. I think we are now in possibly Missouri? After blowing through Colorado for awhile. 2nd day of 40 mph winds. I have to be very nice to the Driver today. We didn't get any snow. We are getting snow - it is just that at 34 degrees, we aren't getting any snow - on the ground. Just wet water. Radar sez the snow split around us - this time it went from north of us to south of us - on either side. Kansas is getting hammered with snow. And you saw Ray's report. Getting pretty spooky around here!

In that case; we're probably on the "beach front" property we've always wanted!
Since the wind is coming from the west and blowing east........
Don't go out with an umbrella, unless you want it inside out!
Have you phoned home yet?!!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
So far, just clouds rolling in now....Radar and our local report just indicated we'd see some rain this afternoon and up to 25 mph wind. Snow mix, not until overnight. It's 58 degrees here right now. Snow will not live long in those conditions, but it will be much cooler tomorrow and Tuesday.

Yah Quintion, Good afternoon everybody...
I really mad at my dad right now... We went to Attica today and we went the back way home by the NS R.O.W. I saw that the WB signal had a Clear so we turned around and sat at the Attica sighn on the ROW. So after 10-15 minuets of waiting my paitens-deprived freekin' dad said "Oh well we'll just pull around the corrner to se if he's cummin." Well we got to a low-spot in the road and we saw her cummin. So we pulled off on a X-ing as I dove out I snpped a shot. It looks really grainy though. I just want to scream!!! This mornin' Quintion it stormed and boomed like crazy. Now it is just raining hard so it's cummin youre' way. BTW CW dinners really good!

May I point out that you should be grateful that your dad is willing to foster your interest in railroading. Nothing said that he had to spend 15 minutes of his time waiting for a train, and checking to see if the train was actually coming was an honest attempt to help you see it.
Mookie,
Congratulate The Driver on being right about that snow. We got about 2 inches of slush here. Tekamah, only 50 miles to our north, got 10 inches, so it was a close call.
Willy
This is true. We are going to get s slushey mix too. Will, I like youre avatar!
Oops! Did not notice that Mutt was signed in. Will have to apologize to him.
Another busy day for me, so far. Went to the grocery, and got that taken care of; then, came home and put a thin coat of Thompson's Water Sealer on the glider. It really needed it, too.
Here are your Sunday Dinner choices:
1. Leftover pizzas from last night
2. Steak, baked potato & salad
3. Sloppy joes w/your choice of fries, onion rings or baked potato
4. BLTs w/salad, and your choice of fries or onion rings
I don't think I have even eaten anything at all today, except for a white chocolate baby buggy that I brought home from the baby shower yesterday. And you know what? I'm not even a little bit hungry. Must still be too tired from the last several days of rippin' & runnin'.
Guess that's about it for right now; except to tell everyone in the path of the storms, whether they be rain or snow, to be careful, and take care everyone!! No rain here yet, but it does seem to be moving this way, from the southwest. Getting cloudier out, and wind's picking up.
Later you all,
Paula (CW)
Evening CW! Supper is good! Hope you will eat! I thought that it was a little strange that you were logged in under Walts profile... Did you get youre book read today? The steak tastes really good!

bubbajustin This is true. We are going to get s slushey mix too. Will, I like youre avatar!
Thanks, I chose that as my avatar a few years ago and it looks so good I never changed it. That Santa Fe War Bonnet paint scheme is just plain classy, in my opinion.
Joe, "rippin' and runnin'" is an ooooold phrase, for when you're going here and there, trying to get things done. And for the last several days, that's exactly what I have been doing. No wonder I'm so tired! Haven't done any wood cutting since back in the spring or summer. And that was just a pine branch I was trying to cut up.
Justin, maybe I'll try to eat something tonight.
We are now under a severe thunderstorm warning. We're getting thunder & lightning, along with a moderate rain shower right now. Everyone take care tonight, and if you have to, batten down the hatches.

Yah it really is! People will look at that scheem and think, wow that is really historic!
Cw,
We will probably have to batton down our hatches as well!
I've shown pretty mutch the rest of the internet these todayso here thay are. Comments and criticas always welcome.
My favorite. A -8 leads a -9 across the warm Indiana countryside. This is that train me and mom had to do 90mph to get ahed of.
A CSX -8 roars out of the CSX yard in Lafayette.
Night everybody,
Mom is almost home and I must help her unpack.
Keep safe with the weather, and hopefully see you tommorow!
Good morning!
Justin - nice pix. I always enjoy seeing the NS and CSX back here. Saw 2 NS engines go through this weekend. As well as an old and newer KCS. (Sorry Willy - it was Sat am) Willy is right about Dad - his parents have made many trips trackside so he could see trains while he was growing up. They have been very supportive when I am sure they would have rather been doing something else. Makes for good families.
Willy - I had trouble even looking at the Driver - he was so smug about his weather predicition! I was secretly glad he was right. But that wind was not a good trade off. At least the wind wasn't "slick".
Looks like the eastern half is a mess this morning. Sorry about that! Heard from Sir C who said that Denver didn't get what they were promised, either.
So sit tight. It will all be gone shortly.

Good morning folks! The coffee is about done brewing and I've just pulled a pan of cinnamon rolls out of the oven. There is also a generous assortment of donuts, rolls and bear claws, and I've mixed a fresh batch of orange Juice.
The temp here in my area is supposed to get up into the mid-40's after today, so by the end of this week most of the snow we had gotten on Saturday should be gone. I am looking forward to getting some yard work done here maybe next week.
Hey Justin! I saw your pictures, very nice! What kind of a camera are you shooting with? Not bad, considering they were produced by a kid your age.
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
Mookie Looks like the eastern half is a mess this morning. Sorry about that!

36.5 now in Muncieland......It's been raining since yesterday afternoon with it slowing or off and on overnight...and now, it is light rain and at times if you look close, you see tiny snow flakes, but it won't gain any foothold.
Don't have my rain gauge out yet, but by last evening the Indy stations were reporting over 2.5" of rain had fallen in our area starting Sunday afternoon.
So.....I believe we'll get thru this stuff with just the nastyness of overcast skies, rain and cooler than it should be by 25 or so degrees for a day or two and then it's onward towards nicer Spring weather. Blossoms are popping out all around us and I hope this doesn't ruin their beauty display.
Edit later:
Having returned from making our rounds in Muncie area the last few hours, we confirm, we've had a generous amount of rain by the amount of water passing thru in White River. Up into parts of the flood plane at various spots.
Good Monday morning, everyone. I see they finally got maintenace done, and unlocked the doors.
I just got back in from taking the dog outside. It's spitting something, not sure if it's rain or bits of snow. Too light to be able to tell.
Ray, thank you for putting the coffee on, and making breakfast this morning.
I've got the Crock Pots going with our meals for the rest of the day. One Crock Pot has roast, taters and carrots; and the other one has very mild chili in it. Figured it was that kind of day.
We have about maybe a quarter inch of rain in the rain guage (may be less, I didn't actually stop to totally check the total. Supposed to have off and on snow flurries/showers, not supposed to be any accumulation, since the ground is too warm. But in the morning, the temps are to be in the upper 20s to very low 30s. The temps today will be slowly dropping, and by this evening, we'll be down in the mid to upper 30s.
Have a good afternoon, everyone, and see in after awhile.
Here I am finally. We spent the morning here in Carolina under a tornado watch and a severe thunderstorm warning. Everything passed peacefully and now the sun is shining. No moisture of any kind after all that. Currently 77 degrees outside. The girls decided it was nicer outside and don't want to come in..... Evereybody take care and stay safe

Tom, guess what came your way is what we had roll by here last night. All we got was lightning, thunder, and some rain.
There's two more Crock Pots on low setting, so help yourselves. One of them has the roast, taters & carrots, and the other's got mild chili.
Joe, I fixed two containers for you, for work tonight: l container with each of the two Crock Pot selections. You can take both with you tonight, or take one and get the other one tomorrow. And Joe, how did you like the Reds game this afternoon? When I got home this afternoon, they were in the 5th inning, so I got to watch most of the game. Even though they lost today, maybe they'll do better as the season progresses. (I'm remembering the old saying, that when the Reds lose the opening day game, they usually have a really good season. Sure hope that will apply this year.)
Sure has been slow in here today. Hope things pick up tonight. Everyone have a good evening and take care.
Good Tuesday morning, everyone (if anyone comes in this morning, that is). Not too bad, temperature wise this morning: 36 degrees, and may see some snow flurries this morning.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, bear claws, bagels, sausage links & patties, hash browns, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, oatmeal, toast.
Will be back after I'm through with Tuesday Produce.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Checked the calendar this morning. It is, indeed April 7th, but the "April Showers" have taken frozen form.
That's all right. I'm warm and cozy (although my bed would be warmer and cozier).
A full breakfast sounds good this morning....
Morning everybody, I'm here! 40 degrees and sunny in Carolina this lovely day. Today is the day we drive over to the tacks man (They seem to be changing carpet tacks this time) and pick up the returns from the accountant. He is 100 miles one way, so we are doubly hit with tax and gas today. Everyone take care and stay warm
Good morning. 19 degrees here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It is supposed to warm up here to about 47 this afternoon. Most of the snow we had gotten this past Saturday will be gone by Easter Sunday.
Last week I had mentioned that the manager at Wendy's had chosen to lay me off, I did find out that she has got me scheduled to work this Thursday for roughly 2.5 hours and that is it. So later this morning I will be submitting employment applications to the nearest Burger King, Subway and the Z-Kota Grille, all of which are within a 20 minute walk from my front door. I would think if I am persistant enough, something would eventually open up for me somewhere. Meanwhile, it is my understanding that I can not file for unemployment compensation unless Wendy's lets me go entirely, and all I can do otherwise is try to maintain a positive attitude through all this.
morning
yes Cw the trip was fine and we made it back home safe.Frosty malt sales at the ballpark were kinda slow yesterday.Did get to see some railroad action from I-75 while in traffic and on the way home.Going to do some chores and take a nap to be ready for work tonight.Ray thanks for the story.I hope things get better for you .At least you are trying to make things better.
The trip to the accountant is off! I am relieved in a way, but still will have to do it again in a few days. Ain't it strange how things work? My uncle's widow had sort of disappeared from sight over the past few years. Several days ago, I got to thinking about her and wondered how she was getting along, I almost tried to contact her. Todays paper says she passed away yesterday. I hadn't thought about her in years until a day or two prior to her passing. Strange
Ray, all the best on the job hunting. Unemployment regulations can be weird and frusrating. I know from experience that it isn't all it's made out to be.
Take care
Good morning from the "Happiest State in the Nation". (mainstreet.com)
If you go there, you will find your own state. Most of them are the True Midwest except Hawaii. Interesting concept. Now don't y'all trip over yourselves moving here.
Sunny, not too warm yet, but the wind quit shaking the trees and the power lines and sounding like.....a freight train!
Here in our midwestern state right now.....we have something to be happy about too.....Sunshine....! Saw a few...maybe 2 or 3 snow flakes earlier this morning and a starting temp of 32 degrees....Warmer now by a few degrees and....that sunshine...Guess we'll call it partly sunny. But believe we're working out of this unwelcome cold, and unspring like weather these past few days. one more cold morning {tomorrow}, and the warmup starts again.
Wed is now my next yard mowing schedule....
Hope this unspring like weather doesn't start setting up a pattern and before we know it, Summer will be here and where did Spring go......?
Tom, I too have had the experience of thinking about someone with whom I have not had any contact in years, only to see their obituary in the local news paper, and it is indeed rather strange. I had a teacher when I was in the 7th grade whom I thought the world of and her name was Peggy Clutts. She and her husband moved out to Oregon several years ago and I was able to track Peggy down through the alumni office of the University of Sioux Falls, her husband's alma matter. I wrote her a long letter and I received a nice letter from her in response, but in that letter she informed me that she was terminally ill with cancer. I think within two months after she had written me, I had seen her obituary in the local news paper. Very sad.
Well, folks, I'm sorry I'm getting back in so late. But when I finished Produce this morning, I came home, ate breakfast, and went to sleep: was that tired, for some reason. We were brought: sweet potatoes, Tropicana orange juice, apples, and tomatoes. The number of people coming increased this morning: 59 people. That's the most we've had for awhile.
On the warmer bar: Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas, chimichangas, enchiladas, chipotle tomato soup, gazpacho w/shrimp, and south of the border snapper. There are also tortilla chips with your choice of salsa or chili con queso.
Mookie, Larry, Quentin, Tom, Joe, Ray, glad to see all of you in this morning.
Our temp was 36 degrees when I got up at 5 this morning, and I haven't heard what it got down to after daybreak. But it was very breezy this morning, two doors up from the house, when I went over to Produce. Needless to say, we had everyone go into the gym for Produce this morning. Right now, the sun is shining, and I have no idea what our current temp is.
Everyone enjoy the meal, and have a good afternoon.
