Sorry I'm late to help with breakfast. Today's my wife's birthday and I had to wait until she left for work to wrap her presents. But I brought my disnwashers![;)]

Geez - left the fire radios on in the truck last night and it wouldn't start this morning. You'd think I'd learn. Must have been a CRS day - left my driver's license in the scanner last night, too. Had to have a copy of it...

Have to make a note to get a new toothpick holder - there's one missing.

Breakfast is served.

It is pretty lonely in here this morning. Guess I will yowl around for awhile and see if someone comes in to actually do some cooking!

Did a little dusting - the oops kind. Well, we didn't need that china toothpick holder anyway! And that plant looks better without so many leaves! Definitely not parsley!

Joe should be here shortly - think I will go to the hammock and wait!

^~ > Well - this is as good as it gets today. It's Monday because it is the first day of my work week. It is Tuesday on the calendar and at home it is Wed, cuz I tore off Tuesday already - didn't like the silliness on that page!

I have a collection of questions, but not sure where to post them. A couple of them, I wrote down notes and now have no idea what they mean. A couple of them are just plain stupid and the rest - well, guess I will take my chances and post them in the real forum. Someone beats me with a broomstick, I will be right back. Or if they - horrors - just ignore me - then I am really coming back here with a vengence. Look out cake and hammock!

Mook!

Hey All

I just got a call from CW and Mutt. [:o)] [:I] [^]

Considering all, and after a call from Ed, they seem to be in fairly good spirits today. [:)] That is a good thing too. [;)]

They are going to try and make it to the library tomorrow and check emails and drop by here. So maybe we could have a crowd of well wishers here when they do. [:p]

Now, want to hear a funny ? [?] I left my cell phone at work last night. [B)] Some of the 3rd shift workers starting calling people in my addy book. A certain person in Houston got a wake up call after 11 pm. Wonder WHO that could have been. [}:)] [;)] [:D] LOL Oh my.

Hey M

Have another cup of Joe on me. [:I] [:o)] [:D]

OK, got to get back to housework and laundry. [:(!]

See yall.

Morning All

How about some biscuits and sausage gravy? WORKS FOR ME [:D] [;)] [:D]
Of course few people know that I like them. [:p] [:o)] [:D]

Well today is Saturday (my Saturday anyway.) Man do I have a long list of things to do. [:0] [8] [B)] Well I guess that means time to get off the computer and start them. [:(]

I hope everyone has a good day.



Don't forget CW and Mutt in your prayers.

My goodness - without CW to keep us straight, this place gets neglected! The usual items are available.

Our drop from 51 a few days ago to -8 Sunday morning is keeping local MOW crews busy. They started out with clearing up frozen switches (virtually all of them), then moved to broken bars and pull-aparts, no doubt due to the cold. The frozen switches complicated meets, and the other stuff is just plain tying up traffic.

This week takes us back into the thaw zone again. Wish it would just be winter and get it over with!

Ed:
We want the moisture for the same reason you do, fire bans and all. The moisture continues to bury the high country, but hasn't made it to the front range or prairies yet.

Is it dry enough down there that the ground cracks a several inches wide and you can see down two -three feet.? I have distinct memories of that from Baytown/Mt. Belview a few years back .

Went back and looked at my picture post on the previous page, and realized that the link to rrpicturearchives didn't work, so I fixed it. I've also finished editing the shots from Saturday- boy, did I ever catch a variety of power!

Ya know,
It is so hot and dry down here in the swamp land we wouldn't mind borrowing some of you guy's snow!

Entire state of Texas is under an outside burn ban...
It is in the high 70s low 80s afternoons, cools down to the mid 60s at night.
We have a slight drizzle working right now, but it will be dried up by midnight!

The good news is the gators are hiding on the bottom!
The bad news is...the gators are hiding, on the bottom!

Trying - don't see many trains in the first place. This time of year there isn't much sun after work either, so it's weekends and days off. Will do some serious chasing when things warm up. Got a neat picture of the moon and a pine tree in my back yard...

Way to go, Carl! I keep telling myself I need to get back to cycle commuting but with the foot of snow we got this past weekend, I may wimp out. (The temperature in the teens is also a factor - I can't find my winter-weight cycling gloves.)

Rain later tonight, changing to snow. But today was great--officially got up to 44, but we had a couple of thermometers at work that topped 50.

And, speaking of topping 50, since I biked to work today, I've topped 50 miles for the year. There have been some years when I haven't done that until March!

Fellows...this January winter weather is rather great.....The downside was in December...Seems we're averaging it out now....Lots of sunshine here in Indiana today and probably up near 50....Heard a mention of some snow flakes over tomorrow or wednesday but I can't see it will amount to much...All this {lack of snow}, we get will allow winter to pass quicker and before long the seed catalogs will start to arrive.....
