Good Thursday morning, everyone. Current temp here in Louisville is 46, looks like we'll be holding there for awhile. High today is to be in the low to mid 60s. Shouldn't be too bad a day around here.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are ready. Mookie, your coffee mug is on the counter for you.
On the breakfast bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, BLTs, oatmeal, grits, toast and several boxes of cereal are out on the counter.
A few of our downtown streets will be closing for the weekend: this is our "Thunder Over Louisville" fireworks show weekend, the beginning of the KY. Derby events. The Clark Memorial Bridge (known around here as the 2nd St. Bridge) will be closed to vehicular travel sometime later this morning, so they can start to set up the fireworks, howitzers, etc., that they put on the bridge.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, and all of you have a good morning, and take care.
Walt thank you. I think the filter needs beat upon. Still no LVL or others /hot,cool or lukewarm email . Maybe its all the fierce rolling wind ,been blowing for 2wks. w/ ocasional rain~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```

Mail delivery--it is obvious that some of you do not order anything by mail, else you would be covered up in catalogs. Our mailman might complain bitterly if he were allowed to deliver our mail only twice a week.
When I was in college, I left a piece of junk mail in my box so that there would be something it when I looked through the glass every morning. I had a different box each year (students' boxes were arranged alphabetically), but the faculty and administration kept their boxes the same. One day, when I was helping the treaurer's assistant sort mail, I asked her about the possibility of sorting those boxes alphabetically, and she asked me, "Did you ever try to move a faculty member out of his box?"

CW... Beano before and there will be no gas!!!! I wondered what that smell was in here was.... No offence to anone of course. Supper was good!!!

I have really been a busy little beaver this afternoon: Three loads of clothes washed, one load dried and put away, another load in the dryer, and getting ready to put the last load into the washer, along with doing two loads of dishes, feeding the doggie, etc., along with refreshing everything to go on the warmer bar for tonight. Which is now complete, and back on the warmer bar.
Now, to put the clean sheets, etc., back on the beds, and bring down the comforter to put into the washer. It's queen size, so that gets washed by itself.
Larry, just in case you need them before you go teach your class, I've left the bottle of Beano under the counter for you, and anyone else who may need them!
Everyone enjoy your dinner/supper, and have a good evening. Don't know if I'll make it back in here this evening or not.
Mrs. Mook,
Have you seen the BNSF pics I posted on here a few days ago?
Sir C - Millie may need her rain bonnet, but will be warm enough next 10 days to not be a problem. Next week - whole week looks very spring-like.

Evening all!
HAd a good day atschool today. Were' making personal slide shows in computers & buisness class. I went to sShutterfly . com and coppied pics. from there. I think it is pretty cool.
Didn't rain today, so I wore shorts currently huvering around the 52* mark here in western Indiana.
CW, Can't wait for dinner!
Mookie which one was/is the diner? Hmmm?

This diner hadn't been created when I did that, or it certainly would have been included..... I did have some fun along those lines...

Sounds like a great supper - hopefully it won't produce any untoward effects, though, as I am helping to teach an EMT class about Incident Command tonight.
From an earlier session, before I worked on the simulator:
It's an HO scale town, about 12'x16', with a variety of types of locales. Several years ago I refurbed the "layout," cleaning up the scenicking and painting/decalling about 100 Matchbox-style vehicles to represent the fire, police, and EMS agencies we have around here. Quite the project.
Here's some from after I refurbed it:
Scratchbuilt airport crash/fire/rescue station:
The fire department at work. Note the "smoke!"
A traffic stop on the Interstate:
Shoppers looking for a "Blue Light" Special:
A tanker from the "Mutual Aid Volunteer Fire Department" fills up at a hydrant. There's even graffiti on the water tower!
A couple of cars tangled in front of the airport:
An officer tempts the police dog with a donut at the police station:
We can't keep a regular mail person on this route: they also have to do about three other routes before they take care of this one (the regular route they have). It seems they always want this route person to take care of others' routes when they are out sick, on vacation, etc. And this is a pretty big route, all by itself! I personally wouldn't mind going a day or two without getting any mail. Most of the mail we get is usually just the junk mail. Monthly bills don't start coming in until the last week and a half of each month. And every Wednesday is when we get all the really junk ads. Used to be Tuesdays, then they changed it to Wednesdays.
For lunch/dinner and dinner/supper, we have our Mexican Fiesta menu:
1. Burritos (beef, beef/bean, and beef enchilada style); 2. Tacos (soft shell and hard shell); 3. Spanish rice; 4. Chimichangas; 5. Enchiladas; 6. Quesadillas; 7. Fajitas; plus several other TexMex dinners.
At 12:52 p.m., we have a temp between 46 and 48, depending on where you live in the area. And it's very breezy out. Skies are very overcast. Think we'll be lucky to reach a high of 52 today, which is what they're predicting.
Everyone keep warm this afternoon, enjoy your meal, and take care.
42 and not raining here finally.....Still underperforming in temps though for this time of the year. Seems to be a pattern....Wonder if it will all of a sudden head into the heat of Summer when it changes....
Tea Party.....?? My hopes are we as a country...{not political parties}, can somehow work together to get our economic house in order to do the work at hand {right now}, and that is, to get us beyond this terrible low point and start to climb out of our econimic situation.
Now again, we hear of another American ship under attack by the idiot pirates this morning.....Can we get on top of this situation....? What about these mother ships supporting these operations....Can't we use sophisticated equipment to locate them and put them on the ocean floor.....That might get their attention....especially if they are out on the open sea {a hundred or hundreds}, of miles from shore in their little "speed" boats.

It would not bother me to see residential mail delivery cut to two, or at most three days per week. A lot of what shows up in my mail box goes either into a paper recycling box or into my kitchen waste basket. And it really irritates me that every other Wednesday the U.S. Postal service has to stuff my mail box with coupons and other useless junk.
Mookie Joe - post office - they could cut our mail service to about 2xs a week. We get very little "mail" and having to drag one small postcard of advertising from the mail box to the garbage is a big waste of time. Just bring it all on one day and save cost!
Due to my work hours I only get to check my mail once or twice per week (I have a post office box). Aside from the fact that it's stuffed to the gills most of the time (the postmistress often bundles it up and all I find in my box is a yellow "call at the window" card), it's not a big deal.
The ongoing talk about closing smaller post offices would definitely put me on the fast track to rural delivery, but I'd get my mail every day that way. I could probably change over now, but I don't relish all those change of address issues.
Joe, there is a Tea Party taking place here in Sioux Falls today between 12:00 noon and 1:30 pm out at Covell Park. I'm not sure that I can make it to this party, as the location is kind of out of my way, and I'm not sure that Covell Park is accessible from the bike trail. Anyway, I am hoping that there will be more of these protest-big government parties in this community in the future.
My brother-in-law prepared my federal income tax return a couple nights ago and my sister mailed it for me yesterday morning. I am getting a refund of a little better than $700.00, and about half of that will go toward wiping out the balance on some credit card debt that I have. It will be a LONG time before I ever again use a credit card to pay for anything!!
Thanx CW - need coffee this morning. (well, what's new there?)

Nothing earth shaking here. Almost warm enough to go fishing.....very soon!
First dog is nicely marked and as a puppy is/was very appealing. But a little large for my taste. I am more the Jack Russell "mutt-sized" dog. Something floppy and always smiling. Or a mellow cat. Or both.

After that stirring narrative, Good morning. Partly clear and 55 degrees in Carolina this lovely morning. My girls came into my room rousing me up, allowing that they had to go out. That's why I am here at this unusual, for me, time! I hope everyone is doing well this morning. Anyone going to a tea party? Take care

Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Mutt, thanks for putting the coffee, juices, and the hot water for tea and cocoa!
On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal & toast, bagels and bear claws, oranges,grapes, and buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
Cannonball, hope you get your computer problems fixed soon, so you'll be able to be back in here with all of us!
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, and have a very good day. Mookie, I got you coffee mug out of the cabinet, and have it ready to pour coffee into it, whenever you get in this morning!! (Think we need a new smiley face: one with a coffee cup/mug on it!)
Roy, glad to see you back in here, and doing better.
Coffee is brewing and Hot Water for Tea or Cocoa is on;
CW will be in after a bit for the rest of the morning "Goodies"!
Had an interesting email from the mountains in the western U.S.,

Made some vegetable soup for supper tonight, along with freshly baked cornbread to go with it. Also, made some beef pasta for supper, for anyone who doesn't want just soup and cornbread. And we still have about a dozen and a half cupcakes left from Sunday.
Not sure what our high was today, seems like the temp has slowly been holding steady all day, hovering around the 50 degree mark. Tonight, though, it's supposed to get down to about 40.
Produce went pretty well this morning, even though the truck was very late. But we had a good selection of items: grapes, peppers (think they were hot peppers), pints of chocolate milk, 1/2 gallons jugs of orange juice, and 10# bags of potatoes.
Everyone have a good evening, and enjoy your supper!
Time to eat
Hay Joe,
Seen any sighn of CSX latley? I like the book Green Eggs and Ham. Sounds like the school's lunch! Have a good time at work.
