Crater in backyard would be fine; we can get the "Pied Piper" to "Lure" all those critters into said hole and have it "bulldozed" over! (Da Boyz got to make sure they're out of the way.)

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. No Tuesday Produce today, and am I glad, even though I've had to stick my head out the door about three times to tell people we weren't having Produce today.
That's o.k. Brian: guess I should just have a couple pair of tin boots made for me, just to be on the safe side, right?
Coffee, juices and other beverages are freshly made, and hot water is on for hot tea.
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, oatmeal, toast, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, sausage (links & patties) and biscuits & gravy.
What would you all like to have for mid day meal and supper tonight? Do we go back to Tuesday Mexican Fiesta, or would you rather have something else today?
Good morning, peace be with you. 59 degrees and clear in Carolina, after a really great rain yesterday. I will wait fer the cook to show up instead of trying my hand at cooking, so everyone have a great day.

Sloppy Joes and fries are perfect for tonight.Thanks CW.Got the yard mowed and stuff put away in the shed .Going to get the feeders out this weekend.We have 3 stumps from pine trees in our backyard.Might make a landing pad for the birds for the winter.Time to get ready for work.

Mudchicken, I'll let Walt know when he gets home. He's gone to the library, should be home shortly. And Brian, do you have any tin shoes in a child's size TWO? I just might be interested in them! (BTW, mudchicken, we don't have a tree in the back yard anymore. It got cut down a few years ago, and there's about a 4 ft. high round stump of a 'table' there now: the only remnant left of the old oak tree.)
I've got beef tips w/noodles on the warmer bar for tonight, and there is plenty of garden salad in the cooler. Also on the warmer bar: sloppy joes, fries, and nice warm hamburger buns for the sloppy joes.
I've got a pair of tin shoes I could send you while the dogs are visiting...
......Yes, and "Pickles" really is a pretty funny cartoon.

The only rodents we have around out here are mice, and I think that we have none in the house. Every now and then, I have to set a trap or two out, but it has been some time since I have seen evidence of mice in the house. I discovered that chocolate is deadly to mice, especially if you use it to bait a trap. We have many birds, including a hummingbird or two, but if we want to see squirrels, we go in to Salt Lake City--where roaches thrive (none here). Ricki had plenty of experience with them in Manhattan; she quotes her first husband as saying that Manhattan is built on a solid bed of roaches.
I, too, appreciated "Pickles" yesterday. Earl and Opal certainly illustrate the life of older people.
It was chilly out (about 40) this morning, but I was expecting it, so I stayed warm. We had a heavy shower a little while before we left for church yesterday, and we drove through another one on the way in, but it was barely sprinling by the time we got to the church. High expected today is 54.

Yeah, Larry, Walt and I both get "Pickles" cartoon in our inboxes from Arcamax. That one is definitely saved in file! And no, none of us feed the squirrels around here. We'd probably have even more of them around here, if we did.
Lunch today: leftover chicken & dumplins, beef tips w/noodles, and garden salad.
Yes CW, I am later than I planned. Sometimes the lady in my house has other ideas about my priorities.
I shall eat a light breakfast so as to have room for the lunch you have on the menu.
Sunshine and 42 degrees at 5600 feet in the AZ mountians this AM.
Beautiful clear skies and sunshine this morning....Earlier, it was 43 and a bit of frost on the back yard. Possible rain sometime tomorrow, but more sunshine as the week progresses.
Wishing a good week for all....
Good morning, CW, and thanks for breakfast. I think I will help you use up the chicken and dumpings for lunch....,. 55 and RAIN in Carolina this morning, but I have a midmorning quack appointment that means I better stay up instead of sleeping in. Everybody take care and stay safe.
Good Monday morning everyone. Jack (dining car) thanks for the offer. Think I got in before you, so I'll wait on you and anyone else who is up and in this early.
Currently 49 degrees here in Louisville this morning, with a harvest moon up in the sky. We're supposed to get up into the 70s today, with plenty of sunshine.
Coffee, juices and other assorted breakfast beverages are ready, as well as hot water for hot tea.
On the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, and your choice of hash browns or tater tots.
I also have the Crock Pots, Slow Cookers going with lunch and supper in them:
1. Roast, taters & carrots
2. Vegetable beef soup (I'll make the cornbread later on this morning, around 11, 11:30, so the cornbread will be hot)
Enjoy your breakfast, and have a good morning, everyone, and I'll see you all later.
CW, I'll be there in the AM. My two meals on Sunday are breakfast and a dinner about 1:30. I'll start the beverages early in the morning but will leave the good stuff to you.
Well, I am finally in here. I decided this morning, that I was going to take the day off (well, in a way I have, since it's now almost 8 p.m.)
Been taking care of folding and putting up laundry from yesterday (still have one basket of sheets left to fold and put away), and cooking chicken and making dumpling dough. Yep, you guessed it: we have
Chicken and dumplings for supper tonight. I made a big pot, so there'll probably be enough for at least lunch tomorrow.
Note to Mookie: Did you by chance lose one of your Nebrasky squirrels? If so, it made its way to Louisville, KY and is terrorizing our house (inside). Every time we think we've gotten it back outside, it shows up again inside.
And mudchicken, if you come in, I know how you feel about chicken & dumplings, so I've got a couple of dishes made up and in the fridge for you, that don't involve chicken fixed in any way.
Everyone have a good evening, and take care. See you all in the morning.
rvos1979 "Revive 65", eh? It needed to be revived several years ago, got to the point where nobody would run in the right lane, it was so rough. I see it's stimulus funded, one of the few projects they budgeted right (Many states spent theirs on resurfacing roads that really didn't need to be done yet, shoulda spent it on adding extra lanes on some of the hard pulls on some of the intersates.).

Randy, (and others that have been through here on that Interstate) Won't argue a bit about it needing to be "revived"! Most of the traffic through that particular section consists of people going through the area, most of the "local" people don't/won't travel it; rather go the "surface" streets to get where they're going.
Don't know about raising any speed limits on that stretch, too many accidents occur between where the construction has started and the Ohio River Bridge. (especially "Hospital Curve"; and of course, "Malfunction Junction".)
However, before my "Soapbox" gets knocked out from underneath me, the locals do have to go across the bridge into In., and visa-versa. They've been planning on two new bridges across the Ohio River for about 20 years, I'm beginning to wonder if I'll get to see them in my life time?!
Joe, CW should be in reasonably soon with the supper menu; seems like the three of us have gone separate directions today. Sarah has been cleaning her area, CW been in the kitchen most of the day, and I got out on my bike to run a couple of errands and railfan. (no real good pictures, but will post 1 or 2 on Facebook in a bit.)
you just got to roll with the good and the bad.thats how it goes.Matt had a surprise at G+G house.His Aunt brought her niece and nephew from her side of the family over.The kids had a great time and they carved pumpkins.Matt's is on the front porch.Cw thanks for supper.Time to get things around to start another week at work.
This week has been one of those wow weeks, and not in a good way either. Won’t go into detail, but I can’t wait for a new one. Our dog Rex actually seems to be doing better. Now, his hips are bothering him though.
A nice and cool 60* here now at 3:25PM ET while writing this post.
Hope to start getting back in here more regularly we’ll see how Rex is doing though
See you all later,
Some years ago, {before retirement}, Jean and I traveled thru Lousiville quite often on I-65 and what I always found after crossing the river {south}, it seemed everyone wanted to be first.....And instead of coming close to the 55 mph speed limit, it seemed everyone speeded up and we all ended up driving closer to 70. Or get runover. I'm referring to right in the heart of the city part of the Interstate.
Now, if that is part of the redo, I wonder how that will effect the speed when it is complete and back in full service...
I never really cared too much for that rat race going thru there and glad when we popped out on the south end to the newer 3 lane completed in the recent past.
Once while traveling north thru there and on the inside lane next to the concrete barrier.....a semi was in the lane next to me {right side}, and a stone flew out from between the rear duals and smashed into the right corner of the winshield and corner post of the windshield.....Cracked like a shotgun, and fortunately, it did not come thru the glass and luckily I maintained control ok, but there was nothing to do but keep running at speed and upon returning to Muncie, have the glass replaced and of course the corner post of the pretty new car repaired....A Lexus. Insurance did cover it 100%, and that helped....It was pretty salty. But the good part, we suffered nothing but the terrible shotgun blast of sound as it hit.
locomuttGlad you made it through here without an extra headache.Three lanes at a time is what they're working on now, when they finish(?) this; they're supposed to start back the other direction. Not sure if concrete will be put back down, or if they'll do asphalt.[This "Project" is called "Revive 65"; go figure, wonder, etc.] (just as a sidenote, that particular section of I-65 used to be part of the section of the old "Kentucky Turnpike" between here and Elizabethtown.)Is the "Terminal Hobby Shop" still part of Walthers? I've managed to get a few things over the years from them. (although they don't have the "O" Scale stuff they used too.) (2 rail)

As for Terminal Hobby shop, yes they are still part of Walthers, have been in the store a lot lately, the store itself doesn't have much stock, but they can go back in the warehouse and get most anything in the catalog that's in stock. Makes getting some items a lot easier. Still wish Walthers carried Athern products, I pretty much have to do the mail-order thing for that now. The last few models I picked up at the local hobby shop, love the detail, haven't had the area to run them yet, though.

rvos1979Mutt: Was headed towards the house, was not too bad at 7:30 in the morning headed north, they sure are taking a long time grinding down the concrete south of the Watterson and Gene Snyder freeways, though. Saw about two to three lanes torn out, not sure if they will replace with concrete or asphalt. I see they are finally done with the widening near Bowling Green, speed limit is back to 70mph.At the house now, later today am having some friends over for dinner, and tomorrow am going to parents for my sister's birthday party (she turns 26 on Monday). Hoping Monday I can get up to Terminal Hobby Shop and purchase some modeling tools so I can assemble models while I'm out on the road, need something to do during downtime (something that I am having a lot of lately, truck is showing it's age).See everyone later....
