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.
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.
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!

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....
Quentin
Mookie and everyone else, the chili and cornbread are ready and now on the warmer bar. 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.

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?
Justin
The road to to success is always under construction. _____________________________________________________________________________ When the going gets tough, the tough use duct tape.
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
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.

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").
Happy Anniversary, early, Joe and Mama (somehow that doesn't sound quite right!) Joe and Stacey! There. That's better!
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

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.
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.
I too, would like to wish Joe and Stacey a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! And I hope the two of you will have many more happy years together.
It's barely 40 degrees here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota this morning and we have a cloudy, overcast sky with a 60% chance of rain for today. I've got a couple hours to kill before I must head for work. Gotta go to our local post office and mail a letter to an aunt and uncle of mine who live in Estes Park, Colorado.
I hope the rest of you out there are all having a very good day.
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
I neglected to wish a happy anniversary to Cannonball and Shirl. Many happy returns to both of you. The sun has come out now and it is a lovely day here with 64 degrees. I spent some time last night fighting with Franklin D Roosevelt. I got a few new dimes for my collection, and it almost took a hydraulic press to get them in the album. Apparently, the maker of the album got the holes a tad smaller than the coins. It made for an interesting time, and was one of the reasons I was up most of the night! When not arguing with Franklin D, I checked out the wireless, which was a waste of time. For now, take care, stay safe
Low 30's in at Prescott, AZ this AM. Those pancakes sound like the insulation my body will need.
I suspect it is in the mid 20's at Flagstaff and Winslow on the BNSF Transcon. So you folks who only think of AZ as a desert with 100 plus temps can adjust your perspective.
mudchicken Go Rox! (sorry Sarah)
That one Shouldn't make too much of a difference, she's not a Baseball fan at all; Now Football-That's another Story!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Joe & Stacey, and Cannonball & Shirl!!
And HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO "Boss Hen"
Tom, instead of the "hydraulic press"; Use a Bigger Hammer!!
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!!
Happy Anniversary Joe and Stacey!
Happy Anniversary Cannonball and Shirl!
Cloudy and cold in the "Big O" today, but even colder over the weekend. Looks like highs could be in the mid 30s on Saturday, along with some snow.
Ahem - Mr. Willy - I wasn't done with summer!
Mookie Ahem - Mr. Willy - I wasn't done with summer!
Snowing in Denver today - Lincoln too? (1-2" by this afternoon....Rox/Phillies this weekend could be unusual to watch)...What flavor do we put in Mookie's slushy?
Snow inspired weirdness?: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_13514102 One train crew is gonna have a hard time 'splaining their way out of an unpaid vacation. Maybe the news reporter ought to join 'em.

Yes, I too, want to wish boshen a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! For some strange reason, it wasn't on my birthday/anniversary calendar.
For lunch/supper menu today:
1. leftover Chili w/cornbread from yesterday and
2. Vegetable beef soup, also with cornbread, or crackers and grilled cheese sandwiches
The rain hasn't shown up in our immediate area yet, but is supposedly on its way in. I hear traffic going by the house, and so far, the street is still dry. But it does look like it could start anytime. Once it does, they say we could see two to four inches by the time it leaves the area tomorrow night, Saturday morning. And we may have the possibility of flash flooding, and the warnings for such.
Everyone enjoy your meal, have a good afternoon, stay dry if it is raining in your area, and take care.

That covered hopper wasn't enroute to Coor's was it? (you know, for plastic lining for the cans?)
I doubt any of us will watch that game, especially since it's Baseball; now if it were Football, and those city teams were playing; might have a very hard time keeping Sarah away from the TV!
(We'd rather watch Cartoons, or the British Comedies anyway.)
I'm guessing(?) RED for Mookie's "Slushy"; I think Lincoln Folks like Red as their color.
We are, HOPEFULLY(?) minus one squirrel; even after our animals couldn't get, and MC's didn't arrive in time; and after the purchase of a "Humane"(?) "trap", S.O.B.(Q?) went into empty dog food bag and got "escorted" out of house!
Thank G.. we don't have video cameras in the house, it wasn't a very pretty sight!
I guess you are now!

You don't know evil laughs until you've heard this one! And those aren't just giggles, they're manic giggles.
Home from school. Pouring rain! Me, and the bills I was carrying, got soaked. Bills are even more fun to pay when they are soaked, and the ink is running off of them.
52* right now, and if I herd the weatherman right, it will be in the 30’s next week. Quinton, have you herd of anything like that?
See you all later!
bubbajustinQuinton, have you herd of anything like that?
Justin....I did see an extended forecast this morning, but it didn't seem to have those kinds of temps listed.
Edit: Now on a more recent report....Upper 30's for low temps, starting Sunday and on to Wednesday.
Methinks the news reporter from above needs to find a new job. Wonder if the lab at Weatherliar U needs a crash test dummy?
Thanks for the anniversary wishes everyone.been a busy day.our california pen pal visited and saw the traffic in La around dodger stadium and just laughed.We did get out a see some trains eventhough ma nature didn't help.Time for bed.
