A slice of cheese pizza and some dessert pizza sounds good tonight!
My tour on Friday at the National Weather Service went very well. It turned out that the meteorologist who showed me around didn't have too much to teach me since I already know a lot of stuff pretty well. He did show me some websites where I can access the computer model data and he showed me how to read it. This afternoon I decided to do my own forecast based on the model data and my own judgement of the current weather pattern and it came out pretty close to the official forecast that the NWS issued. I also saw 11 trains on Friday up in Fremont, Nebraska. One of the manifests was very long, I would have to say probably about 140 cars.
The weather is going to turn cold here in the plains on Tuesday next week. Our high on Tuesday will be around 60 and the high on Wednesday will be about 30 degrees early in the morning with temps falling into the 20s during the day. It still doesn't look like any significant snow is on the way, though.
I hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend!

Hmmm...... All I got today was the power steering, dad had the cab (with the back window still out), not too many amenities on a 1966 John Deere 4020 diesel. The new tires in the back were a big help, pulled through most of the sloppy stuff. Three inches of water on top of a like amount of mud was a different story, though, was fun turning the tractor around in that mess. We get to do the same thing tomorrow.
Pass the fish, CW, I'll load up on it.

Had an excellent Thanksgiving, got the turkey cooked to perfection and had a great visit with the family. Not much on the list of chores for today and the weekend. Will take advantage of the sun and warmer temps to do the last of the winter prep on the flower beds and then just kick back.
Forecasts of winter showing up any day now are probably on the mark.
Have a good one.

On my last trip down I-65 to Indy, car ahead of me and I got stuck behind a truck in the left lane taking maybe five miles to pass a truck on the right. Now those kind of things might cause me to mumble an expletive or two, but stuff happens. What are ya going to do, whip over and pass in the median strip?
When the truck finally moves over, he and the car ahead of me begin exchanging hand signals, flashing lights and honking horns. Do you suppose they were just long lost friends saying hello?
Good morning! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!
Today is going to be a big day for me. At 10:00 AM I am getting a tour of our National Weather Service office in Valley, Nebraska. Our school librarian's son is a meteorologist there and she arranged a tour with him for me. I can't wait! Hopefully I'll get to meet some of the other meteorologists that work there, too.
I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!
Good morning.
I had Thanksgiving dinner last night at my sister's house, and I ended up eating so much that I could probably go most of today without eating anything. At last report we had a temperature of 37 degrees here in Sioux Falls. I will be spending another day on shift, ringing a bell for the Salvation Army, and the temperature is supposed to get up to about 50 degrees later this afternoon. I suspect that the weather conditions here will go south on us within another week, if not sooner.
Today a lot of the stores in this town are open as early as 4:00 AM to allow people to take advantage of store bargains, and I think people are just nuts when it comes to that. It is kind of fun to watch the people file in and out of the stores while I am working. The Salvation Army should do very well in terms of how much money it takes in in the form of donations from the public today.
From where the Salvation Army has me working, I can hear trains, but I can not leave my post long enough to go watch them!

jeaton ;
You are so right on that count . Here in northern Az. there are 6 pct. grades and trks. over 23.000lbs. are supposed to stay in rt. lane. ( the sign says so ) only if ya' dont' get caught . Sunset Point is the end of restriction. Yet the big riggers run at the blazing speed of 32-34 mph . One tries to pass at 1\2 mph , sure makes for some terse words on the radiola . not to mention the traffic behind all this . Ahhh the turkeys & cartoons abound on I 17 at Rock Springs . Catch ya' on da' flip side . Respectfully , Cannonball
PS hope you and yours had a great day .
Happy Thanksgiving day everyone.......
We've got nothing on your stores, Modelcar, the local outlet mall is opening at MIDNIGHT(!!!!!!) for shoppers, and the K-marts are open today!!
Made it safely to Burlington last night, got to see the roadwork they finished, now most of the streets in town are two-way, after being one-way for atl least 26 years. Need to get the traffic light working downtown, though.
Jay and Cannonball, after seeing the way some people drive, I'm ready to install a full rollcage and five-point harnesses in my truck.
Should be in at various times this weekend, I got "volunteered" to help plow, mudding it in would be a better term, field is a bit wet yet.
Happy thanksgiving day, everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone has a blessed, super Thanksgiving!
happy thanksgiving
short trip today.going down I-75 on saturday.yep we always make way for the big rigs.going to releatives or to work today please be careful.see you friday.
Good morning everyone, Happy Thanksgiving!! I am getting ready to bake the traditional cinnamon bread for my family's annual Thanksgiving dinner which will be around 4:00 this afternoon. Anyone who would like a loaf of my bread for their Thanksgiving dinner is welcome to come knocking on my front door, and I would welcome the company from any other members of this forum. You would be able to smell my bread even before you enter the front door of my house.
It got up to about 59 degrees here yesterday, which made it very comfortable to work for this Salvation Army bell ringer, and the weather conditions here for today are supposed to be much the same. And I will not have to work today.
For those of you who are traveling to be with family, be sure to wear your seat belts and stay safe! And as Sarah said in another thread, keep your eyes open for potential Darwin Award winners!!
