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").
Morning all......
MC: Jeez, they are still working on I-40 in North Carolina, bolting the mountainside together after multiple slides that occurred last fall. That is supposed to reopen around the first of April.
All quiet in Burlington today, did notice that when DOT finishes the bypass around our town, one of the state roads will become a county road, they already posted some of the new signage. Will start packing for the road shortly, and head out for another month of fun and games. Before that, a good breakfast to start the day.
See everyone later....

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. We have 43 degrees, and fair conditions this morning. Now they are saying that the rain won't get to us until sometime this evening, going off and on thru Saturday? Oh well, at least everyone should stay nice an dry for Tuesday Produce this morning!
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, cider and hot water for hot tea are all fresh and ready to go. On the warmer/serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy.
Just had my first phone call of the morning, someone letting me know he'll be here for Tuesday Produce in a few hours. He's a very nice gentleman, originally hails from Mississippi. If I remember correctly, he'll be 85 come June.
Everyone have a great morning. Mookie, maybe tomorrow morning, you and I can get to our rockers, and watch the trains and the world go by.
mudchicken ps- It's raining rather large rocks around here. Hope Uncle Pete is getting through Glenwood Canyon (south side) OK....... http://www.denverpost.com/ci_14633690

MUD: With all the freeze thaw cycles that occurred this winter will we see a lot more of this?
They had me go out today and help the field crews get out of a scheduling jam. It figures...it rained. Came back in to do my regularly scheduled brain damage and got handed a new headache in an e-mail from the mothership. At least I'm out in the field tomorrow and Lurch isn't roadworthy. (some in the mothership got an extension in their corporate life expectancy for at least a day)
Run Willy, RUN!
Well, it got into the mid 60s here this afternoon and No rain, so Sarah and I got the bikes out for the first ride of 2010! Took cameras with us, tried to do some railfanning, but honestly didn't see any trains. At least not until we were just a couple of blocks from the house and couldn't get back to the tracks fast enough.
Yes, we can still have snow..... I can remember waking up on Easter Sunday and seeing that White Stuff on the ground. Several different years.
Not looking forward to setting clocks/watches back the Sat./Sun. morning....should enjoy the extra hour of Daylight though.
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!!
Q - Mika does great, doesn't she. Joe has a tendency to talk over his guests - louder and longer. Drives me nuts! Chris Matthews does it too. I like Ed and Keith because they politely let their guests finish their thoughts. Why invite them if you are going to talk over them?
DC - I start on Sat am setting clocks. We have so many clocks/watches that the poor Driver doesn't know if he is coming or going. It is one thing that has always exasperated him in our marriage! I figure it keeps him on his toes and young! So many people are so greatful that they don't have to live with me!
I too would like to see the NS train - at least the engine. And as for the Masters, will peek in to see if they have any wild animals playing.
Must go wash Willy's mouf out - saying that dirty word snow.....
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
No daylight savings time in AZ as we are much too busy to be changing all of our time pieces.
Mookie and Q you will just have to work harder to make up for the time spent changing. And Sunday will be a short day also. Sorry about that.
Mookie It's raining here. Bye Bye snow....
It's raining here. Bye Bye snow....
Don't get too eager to bid the snow farewell. Additional snow remains possible through the first week or two of April, especially in this type of weather pattern. Not saying that it will happen, but it could happen! Nevertheless, I am happy to see the rain tonight, as opposed to snow. Hopefully it will wash some of the dirt and grime off of everything.
Willy
Mookie Quentin - I used to have to come upstairs in the dark after Morning Joe. Now it is pretty light. Until next Monday....Blah!

....It won't be long Jen....even adding an hour of darkness in the morning....We're gaining daylight morning and evening rather fast now.
By the way, as today, Mika can handle the crowd just as well as Joe when he's missing as he was this morning.
Quentin
Hard to believe it's almost time for the Masters tournament! I could care less about golf but I sure would like to take some photos of the NS office car special as it makes its way through my neck of the woods to Augusta, Ga. Anyone out there know when she'll head south?
Had only one daughter and sometimes that is almost too much family. Been busy trying to keep up with daughter and grandson here lately. They both go like lightning and I seem to always be facing the wrong direction. But I think I am going to win this one. Slow and steady is always best. Now if they will just stop long enough for me to tell them.
locomuttQuentin, hopefully We CAN say good bye to that White stuff for the season!
....Just a few piles of the stuff left Walt....55 plus degrees here this afternoon. Actually repaired a spot in our yard today where the snowplow pushed snow off the driveway and gouged into the sod a bit....Put down grass seed, and then moved the sliced sod back in place and tamped it down a bit....Hope to have it {or do it my self}, rolled again this season. That will take care of any unevenness.
Yea, Walt....it sure can snow some more, but I'm not too concerned about that...We've had a bit over our avg. this season and all this week it's to be in the 50's so.....so far, so good. And Just think....We see an hour more of daylight in the evening come Sunday.
Afternoon all.
And what a beautiful afternoon it is! Were sitting right at 50*here in western Indiana. The birds are signing, and eating from the feeder outside my bedroom window.
On the downside of things, I think our toilet is leaking. There is a big wet spot just to the right of it. Also, just a few moments ago we took our late dog Rex’s kennel down. Kina sad to have to do that.
Have a good evening all.

Afternoon all. Wow, it's been a busy morning around home this morning. Both Walt and I have been on and off the phone, with important phone calls. He got one call from Frankfort, on his retirement: they are to call back again some time today. And I've been on the phone with other important issue calls.
Here is the menu for the rest of today:
1. Burgers, fries and tossed salad
2. Meat loaf w/mashed taters & beef gravy, green beans, corn, and tossed salad
Everyone enjoy, and you all have good afternoon, and take care.
grampaw pettibone Good evening. CW, a tank top is a bit out of place just yet, but people are curious creatures. I remember going to a drugstore a few years ago when we had a fair amount of snow and seeing a woman all bundled up in overcoat, muffler and gloves, and BAREFOOT! You never can tell with some folk. 42 and clear right now. Everyone take care

You must be talking about the "Relocated" persons from Eastern Kentucky and/or West Virginia that are commenly known as "Hillbillies"! Watch it, I resemble that remark!!

Quentin, hopefully We CAN say good bye to that White stuff for the season! The Weather People here have said that this was/has been the 4th snowiest Feb. since they've been keeping records. (for our area) I can certainly remember 2 of them, 1978 and 1994. Now with the melting and "run off" they/we are very worried about flooding; and this week is supposed to be a "rain Event" around here!
cherokee womanMookie, here's your coffee mug, and I've got our rockers situated so we can watch the trains go by this morning. Since it's getting liht earlier, we can see them a bit better as they're going by
Johnny
Good morning, and thanks for the brunch. 60 and bright sunshine in Caroina at present. It is supposed to make it to 64 today, and I thinks it's gonna make it. I see where UP dumped a coal train last night and the story on that should be interesting. Everyone take care,
Tom

If anyone has any meal requests for today, please let me know.
diningcarQuentin, The Colorado River is the principal source for water impounded in the Hoover Dam, Upstream on the Colorado at the Utah-AZ border is the Glen Canyon dam which is also low in water retained.
Glen Canyon, yes.....remember seeing that {believe that's at Page}, when flying back home from Las Vegas to Chicago when I was on a project out in Az. Then the one at Bullhead City and another down by Lake Havasu City....
Water being down 100' at Hoover would represent a massive amount of water required to refill that.
afternoon
after church I let Matt go to G+G's house.I went to Fc and saw a nice mix of trains.The sad thing I saw was a beat up looking warbonnet on s 393.Cw thanks for supper.time to get things around for work tonight.
Afternoon all. Randy glad you were able to get your Dad's truck out of the mud. That is a problem, after a snow melt or rain, isn't it? Especially when you live on a farm!
Here is our menu for our Sunday Dinner:
1. Fried chicken w/mashed taters, biscuits & gravy, tossed salad, beans, corn
2. Tacos, burritos, w/tossed salad, Spanish rice, and the usual tortilla chips w/dips
I hope you all have a very enjoyable afternoon, and I'll see you all later.
Morning everyone....
Busy day yesterday after I got to the house, had to run over to parents to rescue my dad, he got one of his work trucks buried in the backyard, ground thawed and turned to mud while he was relocating a shed for my sister's boyfriend's new project: a chicken coop. He can't raise chickens in the city, so my parents got drafted. After yanking dad out of the mud, went to town with Jason to get the lumber he needed, weighed the truck down almost to the overload springs.
Worked a bit on the models this morning, put together a set of test rollers I purchased, now can run engines without them moving an inch. Found out my Athearn Genesis units are a little noisy, but that could be because the center axle is unsupported (rollers came as a set of four).
Thanks for breakfast, now back to the layout.....
Quentin, The Colorado River is the principal source for water impounded in the Hoover Dam, Upstream on the Colorado at the Utah-AZ border is the Glen Canyon dam which is also low in water retained. The runoff from the AZ mountains is a relatively small contributor to the Colorado River flow as most AZ runoff flows south to the Verde, Salt and Gila rivers and eventually joins the Colorado River near Yuma.
There are several dams on these rivers (smaller than Hoover and Glen Canyon) which retain this water and which are now full or nearly so. These provide water to the greater Phoenix area, now the fifth largest city in the US.
diningcarIt has been an exceptionally wet winter in AZ and the large reserviors like Roosevelt Lake east of Phoenix are already full and releasing water as the snowmelt is just beginning.
Noting the exsessive rain in Az this season I wonder why Hoover Dam is down so much....From the views I see watching that massive by pass bridge being constructed, it appears to be down at least a 100' or or more.
Here, we have sunny skies again this morning. Earlier, started out at 28 degrees. We now have almost all snow melted....Just in the shady spots, and where the plows have stacked it up a bit deeper. some remain. And we're to get back up to around that 50 mark again today....
Rain in Prescott, AZ last night and more expected today. It has been an exceptionally wet winter in AZ and the large reserviors like Roosevelt Lake east of Phoenix are already full and releasing water as the snowmelt is just beginning.
Thanks once again for breakfast Paula. All of you have a great day.
Good Sunday morning, everyone. It's clear skies here this morning, with a current temp of 27, 28 degrees, going for a high of 57 this afternoon. We may see a sprinkle or two of rain tonight. But the vast majority of predicted rain is for tomorrow night, Tuesday into Wednesday.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are freshly made and ready to go, including hot water for our hot tea drinkers.
On the serving staion this morning: cold pizza, bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage, hash brown taters, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy and scrambled eggs.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, those going to Church be safe and everyone take care, whatever your plans are for today.
Morning all. Breakfast is on the warmer bar. All the usual drinks are hot, or cold and ready to enjoy.
We didn’t see any trains yesterday. Just the dead remains old deer that was hit. We met a new rail fan. He seems nice. I told him about the forum, but he say’s he doesn’t have a PC.
I got one of those fancy iPods yesterday. Not that one you touch, but the Nano. It’s really cool.
Have a good Sunday!
