Good Afternoon!

I went to see 844 leave town this morning. We went a little outside of Omaha where it would be going nice and fast. I have to admit, it was probably about the coolest thing I've ever seen. It had to be going about 70 mph, lots of smoke and steam and really blowing the whistle. Absolutely outstanding!. I guess it's gone for good, or at least until next year.

That's the only newsworthy info from Omaha today.

Mooks: Good luck on Sunday trying to catch one of them thar 737's with a butterfly net!

  I got me a good pair a bino-culers and a big ole net just for flyin' chickens.

My two favorite foods in one post - fish and chicken....

Morning All,

Think I'll skip over the doughnuts ( I'm not on much of a diet, but I do try to avoid pop, doughnuts, cookies, and all the really bad stuff like that). I do think I will have some Biscuits and gravy, though!

Meanwhile, I still getting used to living with critters again. The MinPin and the Chi aren't too bad, but the Shiba Inu puppy is certainly a challenge. Oh well...I guess it builds character.

At least tomorrow morning I'll be taking a bit of a break from him. I'm going to go hike Mt. Bierstadt (a pretty easy 14er up by Georgetown) with some friends. No worries about the pups, though. The Shiba Inu's "dad" gets to handle all the domestic dog duties.

Well, before I head out tomorrow, I must unbury myself from the pile of work that has accumulated on my desk. Hope you all have a great day!

TTFN!

Mmmmm, donuts!

[cherokee woman]

just a thought===== everytime Im around this thread--the former tv show  happy days--mels diner keeps poppin up my mind.

Hank, I think you're talking about two different shows here.
One, Happy Days had "Arnold's Drive-in, and Two, Mel's diner
was from the TV show Alice. 

Joe & Hank, thanks for getting the juice, lemonade and coffee
ready this morning!  Always appreciate someone putting the
coffee on, first thing in the morning!!

Sleeping was so comfy last night, that I wrapped up in my
blanket, and slept "like a newborn baby". 

With it being cooler, I do feel like cooking today.  So,
breakfast will be:  biscuits, gravy, sausage, scrambled
eggs, hash browns, and for anyone who doesn't want any of
that, I've brought in doughnuts:  chocolate covered, choc-
olate cream-filled, lemon filled, vanilla, long johns,
strawberry & raspberry filled, etc. 

Lunch today:  making a big ole pot of vegetable beef
soup, baking cornbread, and Dan's chocolate mousse cake
(otherwise known as "death by chocolate" cake.)

Ok-----------------------Deal them!!!!!

[CNW 6000]

We were supposed to get rain today/tonight but none showed up.  That's fine the steaks on the grill tasted fine!  I saved a few if any are interested, LMK.  Anyone up for some cards?  I'll deal...

Just took a look at the weather radar for the Midwest and I see the remnants of the storm that hit Looville well to the south.  My forecast says scattered T-showers tonite, but I think they are wrong.  Breeze out of the northeast is keeping everything to the west and south.

Forecast low of 56degrees tomorrow night.  Will send some of the cool air down to Kentucky for CW.  I know it has been way to hot in the kitchen.

Jay

Jay,appreciate you all sending some of the cooler weather this way,but could/would you tell
whomever's in charge to send it just a little less forcefully?! The first part of that storm,
the wind and rain was coming from the north,then after it slacked up a bit,the remainder came
in from the northwest.......a bit unusual for here,as most of what we get comes from the west-
southwest.  This was not any worse than we've ever had,but the full force of this one lasted
a little over an hour,instead of the usual 10-15-20 minutes.

They are telling us that today will be a bit cooler,but...we could still have a bit more of the same.
CW did say if it does stay a bit cooler,she might get some more baking done.

We had a little rain this afternoon, but it didn't amount to much - just 2/100's here at the house.  It certainly didn't dampen my enthusiasm for a lecture I attended tonight.  Professor Michael Kudish, self-made expert on railroads in the Adirondack Mountains, as well as publisher of several definitive works on the subject, spoke in a small town just a little ways south of me.  The topic was also the subject matter of his latest book - the RRs of the western Adirondacks. 

His first book was about 160 pages.  The update was 500, and version 3 would have been around 700, had he not broken it down into 3 separate books.  Google his name if you are interested in the books.  I got a copy tonight, and got it autographed.

I was also mildly surprised when two of my fellow volunteers from the Adirondack Scenic showed up, one all the way from Albany.  She has a drive ahead of her (3+ hours) to get home, and she has to work tomorrow.

And Ms Mook wonders if I have any free time...

I'll be "workin' on the railroad" Saturday, and sellin' chicken on Sunday.

Good thing I have Monday off - have work to do on the bathroom...

Mornin' all......

I'll be over in a corner booth for a while, will have a glass of orange juice (no pulp, please), as I'm battling a cold.

Randy

Really wish you would wash your hands before you get on line.  I think I am coming down with your cold.

Jay

[JoeKoh]

Just to add a bit to CW's previous post,that storm started right around 3:30,now
at 5:30,the temp is back up to about 80 degrees and round two is approaching
rather quickly. Not sure yet if there's a Lot of damage in the area,mainly the "normal"
tress,limbs,power lines down from the wind;have NOT heard anything that suggests
otherwise. A slight bit of humor here,one of the "weatherguessers" said that the
wind was blowing so hard,that there were "White Caps" on the Ohio River. One of
the "Newscasters" said with the amount of rain and the way the wind was blowing,
there were "White Caps" on the streets also.
As far as rainfall in that approx. hours worth of time,around 1.5-2.5 inches,with
several places recording Hail about 3/4" to an 1" in size.(didn't see that here,thankfully)

[Willy2]

Well, yeehaw, glad we were battened down tight! About one
hour ago:  wind started blowing really good, and and the
rain started pouring.  Mutt said he wished he had the rain
gauge out to measure the rain, but doubts it would have
measured it:  since it was all coming in sideways!!
Haven't really heard what the wind gusts were, but looks
like it was in the neighborhood of 45-50 mph.

When it all started, our outside temp was 92.5, and within
about 5 minutes, had dropped 20 degrees to 72.5.  It's
staying pretty much right there (at least for the time
being.)

Got plenty of meat loaf, smashed taters, etc. left from
lunch for supper tonight.  Guess I'll have to grill some
more chicken, cause that is all gone!!  So, let me know
if anyone wants grilled chicken for supper.

The NWS radio has just let us know that it looks like
round 2 will be starting shortly.

I'm the glad the rain cooled things down in your neck of the woods.

Earlier this morning I said that not much had happened in the weather department last night, but it looks like I was wrong. Our National Weather Service office sent out a survey team to take a look at some storm damage that occurred in the town of Greenwood, Nebraska which is right in between Lincoln and Omaha.

They found that a microburst had occurred. The damage covered a very small area (thus 'micro'burst rather than downburst), but winds were most likely in excess of 100 mph! It almost completely destroyed a small race track located near Greenwood. Ticket booths were destroyed, the bleachers were mangled and the concrete crash fence was uprooted. And worst of all, a severe thunderstorm warning was never issued for that county when the event was happening.

Anyway, just thought I'd pass that along. Good thing it didn't hit Lincoln or a certain cat may have had quite a rough ride!

Willy, my "Dew point" is anywhere from subzero to over 100.  I'll have a glass now, I think!

(Seriously, that's some real humidity.  We had similar stuff last night and today.  Fooled me into thinking it was raining this morning, and I brought the bike home again and took the car to work.  I'm glad I did, because it rained for real on the way home!)
