Good morning everybody. I managed to grab a few winks, and now am too groggy to take the girls out. I called and rescheduled it for tomorrow, Cloudy and 57 degrees in Carolina. Everybody have a great day.

Good Thursday morning and, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO JOE AND STACEY AND ALSO, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO CANNONBALL AND SHIRL!
To celebrate the anniversaries, we have blueberry muffins, along with bacon, sausage, pancakes w/syrup, along with bagels and bear claws.
And yes, the coffee, juices, hot cider, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are all made.
Happy anniversary Joe and Stacey. I saw where they got the guy who hit the surveyor. He is 77 years old, from Ohio and turned himself in. I guess I will be up all night, cause I slept in the afternoon, so have been working on my coins and the wireless most of the night. I have to have the girls to the beauty parlor early, so not much use to hit the rack, I guess. Everybody take care
Happy Anniversary, early, Joe and Mama (somehow that doesn't sound quite right!) Joe and Stacey! There. That's better!

cherokee woman And Mookie, FYI, I, too, tend to wear my chili on whatever top I have on. There's been several times when Walt has said he needs to get me a bib to wear when I eat whatever, as I have a bad habit of getting food on my clothes.

Willy keep plugging away.Our nieghbor came back from vacation this week and asked why we turned the heat down.I put our patio furniture in the shed but I am not quite ready to get out the snow shovel yet.Busy at work.Cw thanks for supper.Tommorow Mamma and I celebrate 15 years together.Time flies.
stay safe

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Results of the atmospheric sciences exam are in and I got a 97% on it. Again, I was the only person to score higher than a 95%. The same cannot be said for my first calculus exam, but we just won't go there.
Snow is in the forecast for the weekend. Looks like there could even be some accumulation. How exciting!
Willy
I need to join the messy eater gang too. A lot of times my spoon, or fork will be past it's load limit... SPLAT!
Chili sound sgood tonight. Thanks for the suggestion Mook!
MC, how much snow has Denver gotten latley? Has UP/BNSF gotten out the snow dozers/Jordan spreaders for the Moffat Tunnel sub?

mudchickenQuentin: Surveyors in Indiana are looking for a hit and run murderer. Hope they get him/her.
MC.....Had not heard of that on the news....The area would be roughly 70 mi. north of us. But that Civil Eng. firm did the work here in our neighborhood of sewer work 29 years ago.
Other Civil Engineering that will be needed any day now...{maybe already started}.....A railroad spur connection from the NS Frankfort line back into our Industrial Park {at I-69 / rt. 332}, to service {especially}, Brevini, a new company preparing to manufacture gear sets for power producing wind mills.....Each to weigh 48,000 lbs. Spur will be 1 to 2 mi. in length. 1.9 mil. grant to help in cost. Project just about 3 miies from our home here....

Mookie, my help to all who said "Huh?" is also for all who said, "What?"

I liked science classes, but finding out I can't speak engineer, weather, or physics-ese. Maybe that's why my chem and physics classes were so hard! Still trying to figure out chicken-ese in just general conversation - now I will have Mudchicken on one side and Willy on the other and I will never have a clue! But they are both so interesting, I can just watch their lips move and enjoy it!
MC - sleet and snow for Husker nation on Sunday. Ack!
I can't believe someone can hit someone that has all kinds of safety vests, etc in broad daylight like that! Well, ok - yes I can. And I really hope it didn't involve a cell phone! Probably more like some kind of pre-driving courage, liquid or otherwise. Such a tragedy.
CW - time for chili and cornbread? I made some early this morning (chili) and letting it "blend" in the fridge until this pm. I will show you the spot on my sweatshirt tomorrow morning after I manage to dribble it on there tonite!
Ski season starts in Colorado today. Yikes! (snow down here on Friday?)
Go Rox! (sorry Sarah)

Willy: Learned a new word today. (Adiabatic -Entropy used to show up in all our thermodynamics all the time, but adiabatic never showed up. And I thought thalweg was obscure!) Keep plugging, all the applied brain damage pays off later.
//Watches everybody scramble for their dictionaries.
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Nice and cool here this morning ,with a current temp of 52 degrees in the downtown area, 50 and upper 40s in the outlying areas. Supposed to have more sunshine today, with a high of low to mid 60s. Also supposed to be quite breezy/windy today.
Coffee, juices, hot cider, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are ready to go.
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, your choice of hash browns, tater tots or fried taters, or you can have oatmeal and toast (regular buttered toast, or cinnamon toast). (Can you tell I woke up hungry this morning?)
Taking requests this morning for the lunch/supper menus. So, let me know what you'd like to have/see on the menus for later.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, have a good morning, and take care.
Willy - I think I've observed that while looking at skew-T's... I did rawinsonde while I was in USAF.
As for the chicken - I tried delivering some to Ms Mook once, but it didn't make it. Something about a day on a warm porch for a couple of halves of BBQ's chicken that just didn't work out somehow...

Deggesty Willy2 Good evening, Had my second atmospheric sciences exam today. This one was pretty challenging, but I think I did well on it. The exam was over several topics, including pressure, humidity, and the formation of clouds. The most interesting terms from these chapters: Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate and Moist Adiabatic Lapse Rate. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which a dry parcel of air cools as it rises -- 10 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters. The moist adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which a parcel of rising air cools once condensation has occurred -- 6 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters. The adiabatic lapse rate goes from dry to moist once the air parcel has risen and cooled to the point where the temperature of the parcel is equal to the dew point, thus allowing the formation of a cloud. And that's your weather trivia for the day! Goodness, Willy! I had not thought of adiabatic processes (except on rare occasions) in more than fifty years. As I recall, we had some consideration of such in my physical chemistry course. If I recall correctly, I even ran one experiment which was supposed to be adiabatic; maybe I should look at my lab notes. For the information of all who are saying, "Huh?" I quote from the Free Dictionary: ad·i·a·bat·ic play_w2("A0087200") (d--btk, d--) adj. Of, relating to, or being a reversible thermodynamic process that occurs without gain or loss of heat and without a change in entropy. [From Greek adiabatos, impassable : a-, not; see a-1 + diabatos, passable (dia-, dia- + batos, passable from bainein, to go; see gw- in Indo-European roots).] How about this: "...without a change in entropy"?

Had to look in the dictionary to find entropy. We didn't talk about that in the lecture!

tree68Need Sunday to be halfway decent so we can get all that chicken cooked up and sold
Do you deliver?
MookieUh - Tree - get your water wings and your rubber duck ready. Just checked the radar.....
Showers and thunderbumpers on the menu for tomorrow.

Monday's looking kind of wet, too, and I'll be working on the railroad...
If the rain now is an indication of what our winter is going to be like, I'd better get the snowblower tuned up...
Joe and Justin, yeah, it's been raining here in Louisville since about 10:00 this morning. Right now, it's down to a drizzle, supposed to be totally gone from our area around midnight, 1:00 in the morning. Current temp is 66, with a very good breeze out.
Mookie, I'm glad to see you back in here! Believe it or not, you are missed when you're not here!!
I've gotten more burgers, cheeseburgers, sloppy joes, fries on the warmer bar for tonight, and I've replenished the garden salads and cole slaw in the cooler.
Everyone enjoy your supper, stay dry, and everyone take care.
Sloppy Joes! Yum! Maybe we should rename them - sloppy Petes or sloppy Gerts....
Uh - Tree - get your water wings and your rubber duck ready. Just checked the radar.....
afternoon
been a busy day.raining here in nw ohio.Tommorow matt has a field trip to sauder village.We saw Carls boxcar on the Maw.Hopefully it got unloaded.Cw thanks for supper.
locomutt where do the Family Members "cut off" for Florida? Hang a left at Mobile on I-10?]
The route will change right here in Indiana......Which means, head for Cincinnati from here down south out of Muncie and connect to I-74 and over to I-275......and I-75 and then a choice at Knoxville....Continue on I-75 or hit I-40 after getting around Knoxville. We used that route many times {missing Atlanta}, and so on...After I-40, on to I-26 and on to Columbia, S C.....and right on fed. route 321.....on down to near bottom of S C , out on I-95 to get down across Ga.....That's not too far, then off I-95 near Jacksonville and over to Fed. route 301 and so on.....
School went well today. Raining here, and 64*. BSA meeting tonight. CW, burgers sound good!
ModelcarWalt, your comments of the condition of I-65 thru Lousiville now has been helpful. Some family members of ours spend the Summer here, up from their Florida home and are about to head back down {Thursday}, and I had commented to them what I was reading on here. They contacted {believe it was triple A}, and asked about it and was advised to deviate away from going thru Louisville at all costs. So your comments did help.

Glad it was able to be of some assistance; according to today's newspaper, they're saying it could take longer than expected too, as the sub-surface needs to have some extra work done to it also. (not stable enough to support the road.)
Somehow, I don't think that particular "thing" has changed that much since the road was built, I think some engineers made a mistake.
[Yeah, I-65 is about the fastest, most direct connection from Chicago to the "Southern Climes" ; where do the Family Members "cut off" for Florida? Hang a left at Mobile on I-10?]
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Since no one has given any opinion/request for the meals for the rest of the day, and since it's a rainy day around here, I've decided on the following for lunch and supper menus:
1. Sloppy joes w/garden salad and fries
2. Hamburgers and cheeseburgers w/fries, choice of salad or cole slaw
Desserts today: chocolate cake, pineapple upside down cake, pound cake w/sauce, and carrot cake w/cream cheese icing
