Good Morning everyone out there! I am getting ready to spend another day out at the Sioux Empire Fair here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Our county fair grounds is the home of our HO scale club, the Sioux Valley Model Engineers Society. We are one of the better "free" attractions during fair week and I will be going out the our club house within a couple hours to run trains for the fair-going public. The Sioux Empire Fair Board owns the building which houses our layout and we have a working arrangement or an agreement which stipulates that we pay no rent for the building that we are in, in exchange for opening up our club's layout and running trains every year during the week of the fair itself. This is our biggest open house of the year, in terms of how much money we take in from the fair-going public in the form of donations.
Some 25 years ago when I joined our club, I started a tradition of providing a lot of homemade goodies for the rest of the club's membership to munch on during the course of our open houses, especially the fair week open house. I had already produced six or seven batches of cookies, and had I not slept so late this morning, I would probably have a pan of my cinnamon rolls in the oven right now.
It is threatening to rain here in Sioux Falls, and I hope it does, although if it does rain, it might have a negative impact on the number of people who will be attending the Sioux Empire Fair today, and thus the number of people who would come in to see our layout and watch the trains roll past them. We got just under 2 inches of rain last week, and considering that it has been so hot and dry here this summer, I would gladly take more rain anytime!

Morning All,
First off, Nance69, it was good to see you in here. I'm so sorry about your son. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Does anyone know why there's a confused looking cat talking to a mirror in here? Maybe we had better get the chocolate cake out now and see if that can straighten matters out.
Well, the temps are starting to climb in Denver again. Still have a bit of the monsoonal flow going, but it isn't dropping as much rain now. It did put on a heck of a light show last night though! I guess by the weekend the temps are supposed to be dropping, which is good as it looks like I'll be hiking up to the top of Mt. Bierstadt Saturday morning (probably the easiest of the 14ers...but still a challenge when one only gets to breathe 60% of the oxygen available at sea level).
Well, I have to go feed the pups. Oscar (the Min Pin) is insisting on the matter. Hopd you all have a good day ~or~

The nearest "Weather Bug" reporting site is our local high school, almost exactly a mile away. There have been times when a good storm will dump twice as much into our front-yard rain gauge as it will on the Bug site, and O'Hare will report little, if anything. Of course, the airport could be getting rain bad enough to interfere with the flights, and we won't see any of that, either.

The total at home was 2.75 inches. The total at Eppley: 1.40 inches. Some areas just south of Omaha picked up 4 to 5 inches of rain. It's too bad that all year we've been struggling to get the rain and then it all has to come in one big deluge.
More rain could be coming on Wednesday night as well as some severe weather. I have something good to look forward to I guess.

Joe, I'd be on the way to Jay's, and our lawn isn't all that big. And we've got trains nearby!
(Also, plenty of geese to pluck. Though we also have family members who are allergic to such fowl things.)

sometimes I think the weatherpeople forget to look out the window.as for feathers for pillows geese feathers make better pillows.jay you looking for someone to mow the yard take out the trash etc etc? free food and a place to sleep and matt and i are there.
Well, the weather bureau late last week said it would be hot and dry here this week. HA HA HA HA HA....
We have had 4 inches of rain in some spots. We were so thirsty, it soaked right in. But tomorrow - (they never miss on the temps!) we will be about 107 heat index. Oh goody!
Willy, still working on getting you and family down here for Octoberfest!
CW - 1/2 sheet cake - sounds like something that should be enjoyed in the hammock. Nope won't last much past lunch!
Going to go pillow shopping after work, I think. May decide to go feathers this time. There is so much I could do with that, but since he is Andy & Gus's Dad, I won't say a thing.
For now.
I am patient.
Wait until he isn't watching so closely.
Sneak up on him.
Lots of good feathers there.
Biding my time......

Ten days and the fifth and last child of our merged family moves to Indianapolis and college. I need a volunteer for lawn mowing, snow removal, garbage takeout, kitchen cleanup and a few other chores. Hours are negotiable.
Speaking of ten days, the weather forecast for those days says no more than 30% chance of rain. Looks like Nebraska will have extra. Send some of the run-off FedEx.

Good morning everyone.
Nance69 - You and your family are in my prayers.
Mookie: My mom is going to be in Lincoln for a meeting today. I don't think she'll be able to drop by and say hello, though.
Last night we picked up exactly 2 inches of rain at my house and it is still coming down. Of course Eppley Airfield missed one of the stronger storms that gave my house an inch so the official total will probably be about an inch less than what I measured. Bummer.
Everyone have a good day!
//holds ladder for Larry
OK, today's cake is down and ready!
//licks finger
nance69, you and your family are certainly on my prayer list as well. No one wants to lose family members- losing grandparents is hard, but children?
