Larry, I too am sorry to hear that you are going to have to put your Dalmation to sleep. I know it is a most difficult decision to have to make, though I've never had a dog of my own. I'm thinking perhaps God has reserved a special place in Heaven for dogs and maybe He will send one of his Angels to retrieve your dog's spirit when the time comes.
Larry,
I'm very sorry to hear about the Dalmatian. Just remember the poem "The Rainbow Bridge."
How about roast chicken for Easter, CW? Something a little different than the norm.
Willy
tree68 Came to the conclusion today that it's time for the Dalmatian to go "over the rainbow." Very tough decision, as any pet owner knows, but he's virtually helpless - no strength/control of his hind legs. I often find him where he collapsed, to weak to get up on his own. Gotta call the vet on Monday.

Larry, Very Sorry to hear that you are even having to think about that, it's very hard to find a Good Friend. But..............................

Morning all.
I’m so sorry, I know what your going through. Rex was kind of like that. Our T‘s&P’s will be with you and your family. Sometimes.. It just has to be done.
Looks like it’s going to rain today. Darn weather, nice weather all week and the day’s we don’t have school, and work it rains. Looks like it will move out at least.
Go Bulldogs!

Larry, sorry to hear about the Dal...
As most have guessed, yesterday would have been Jack Webb's 90th birthday, Radio Classics on Sirius XM was celebrating with episodes of Dragnet, Pat Novak for Hire, and other shows starring Jack, plus interviews with the woman who played Ma Friday and the man who wrote his biography.
About 55 and cloudy here, got some rain overnight, supposed to clear up today, but still be windy.
See everyone later......

Tree - I am so sorry about the Dal. Losing a good friend is so hard.
CW - I vote for an Easter egg....
Ray - other end of SD - map showed snow/mix all over the western end. Pretty clear today.
Put your rain bonnet on CW - looks like you & Q are going to get wet.

Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning:
Country fried ham w/red eye gravy, fried taters, bacon, sausage, grits, biscuits, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, pancakes, bagels, bear claws, cinnamon rolls: a little something for everyone this morning.
We have a temp of about 60 degrees this morning, looking for a high of about 68, with a fairly good chance of rain/thunder showers around 10 a.m. this morning. They are saying it should clear out, so the kids can hunt Easter Eggs outside tomorrow.
For our Easter Sunday Dinner tomorrow, would you like like ham, roasted chicken or turkey? Need to know, so I can start preparing it all for tomorrow.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, and your day. See you all around 6, 7 p.m. for our Saturday Night Pizza Fest.
Good Saturday morning. Larry, so very sorry to hear about the Dal. That is the same problem our Win-Win is having: loss of control in her hind legs. So far, she can still get herself up. We will be thinking of you Monday.

Larry, Very sorry to hear that. Very tough to lose a pet.
We're thinking of you.
Yes, we pet owners understand that is the time in a pet owner / pet's life, that is so sad to face....But all pet owners understand why it has to be done. No other acceptable way out...

MookieTree - had a good scenerio for you here in town and se NE yesterday. Telephone switch and backup switch failed. Took out a huge part of the city - including 911 for 11 hours. Had the ham operators mobilized, cell phones handling what they could and me - oblivious that the Driver was trying to call me and geting a busy signal.
Oddly, it seems that in times of adversity, the "routine" calls tend to drop off. We're busy with the storm, etc calls, but not the normal stuff.
Mookie It's 58, cloudy and very nice. Snow staying in So Dak; rain in KS; zip in NE except for maybe a stray shower. That's fine. Brian - I have met you, so think you and Tree could very well see eye-to-eye. CW - yesss - to the patio - have already heard some train activitiy. MC - should we "otter" be looking? Sorry BC - this one was mine. You get the next one. Think also that the the businesses that clean up after wrecks and rebuild or repair railroad cars should have seen their stocks rise considerably. Seems to be a rather nasty time of year. CW - stay home and just wait. They will come eventually. Some regularly; some just out of curiosity.

He finally went to the one sure place he could get me - e-mail! As usual, the outages we have are always on a beautiful sunny day. Squirrel chewed thru line; switch failure; cable cut. Some brainiac will decide beautiful sunny days are bad for communications and elec/gas and will want to outlaw them. Good Friday to all....

Afternoon all.
What a marvelous day it has been! In fact, it has been incredibly nice the past 4 days! We mowed the yard for the first time in 2010 yesterday. I have good news today: I received the A-B Honor roll! I will get to eat lunch with my 4th hour teachers because of that. Anyhow, Just wanted to say hi, and get some supper.
See you all later.
cherokee womanWalt trimmed the small burning bush
We have a burning bush, too. At least, that's what we call it, though it is actually an Alberta Spruce. After we moved in (in 1974), and the weather turned cool enough to warrant a fire in the living room fireplace, we saw a reflection of the fire, in a window, superimposed on the bush. It's now a tree, higher than the bottom of the eaves, and I have to keep it trimmed away from the house to satisfy the insurance company.
I saw my first robin at noon today, when I returned from the grocery store. He hopped into the carport, and was loathe to leave and let me drive on in.
We expect more snow tonight and tomorrow--perhaps I will be able to use my snowthrower after all this snow season. Wednesday was nice and warm--up about sixty--but yesterday and today were cold-- lows about thirty and highs below fifty--and we expect such through Sunday. The grass may need cutting in a week or so.
Yeserday, I missed the move to new digs, and was wondering this morning why I had so few new email messages. What's the decor?
just the facts from today
we followed the NKP line
found a town called worstville
drove through payne
found a ge centercab in edgerton indiana
saw a mookie working in new haven
saw 2 ns high hoods on the way home.
finished the trip with a strawberry shake
cw thanks for supper
corn city tomorrow

Afternoon/evening everyone....
Apparently, Kalmbach is playing an April fool on me, as it won't let me access subscriber content, even though I have a subscription. We will see what happens with customer service....
Might have to have a talk with Willy as well, like the warm weather, but we could do without the 30MPH wind, made driving interesting, though all I did was a quick 200 mile run.
Will take a Good Friday fish fry today, and will celebrate someone's 90th birthday if he was still alive. On April 2nd, 1920, in Santa Monica, CA, a young man was born. This man became a great radio and TV star, and set the mold for all police shows to follow. I'll take a few guesses first before I reveal the name of this person.
Hint: The story you are about to hear is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent.
Good hunting, and see everyone later....
Afternoon! I had to take one of my girls to the vet today and we just got back. She is taking medicine and on a diet to lose weight. Turns out, she gained a pound! That's no good, but kinda like the results I get when I try it.
85 degrees in Carolina. It is time to plant the crops, and hopefully, the real cold is gone. The flowers is flowering and the trees is leaving, birds are abundant in numbers and the squirrels are showing up in the yard. I love this time of year.
Everybody stay cool

Afternoon, all. Mookie, after our time in the garden this morning, I went in, laid down, and slept for about two hours!
But I now have our Friday Fish Fry on the serving station, and it'll be replenished every little bit:
FISH: Alaskan Cod, perch, salmon steaks, halibut, haddock, Talapia
SIDE DISHES: Cole slaw, corn on the cob, baked beans, fries, hush puppies, breaded fried mushrooms, macaroni and cheese, 3-bean salad
DESSERTS: Chocolate cake w/chocolate icing, Yellow cake w/caramel icing, pecan pie, and apple, cherry and peach cobblers.
Everyone enjoy this beautiful afternoon, and see you all later.
Another sunny, nice morning here in central Indiana.....Actually, much earlier....we were warmer than Orlando, Fl.
Screens in some of the windows here now....and some windows were open all overnight....Blossoms are coming out strong now....beautiful white ones. Yard is great....nice dark green....Next, will be... head to the carwash with the truck.
Have heard several trains in the distance from us this morning, meaning NS and CSX.
Surprised to hear of the nasty amount of snow out in the Dakota areas....
I can remember back at least 25 years ago on april 6th....here in Munice, a photo in the morning paper of a fellow out with his one horse sleigh.....He was pushing it a bit, but there was a little bit of snow that morning. But far from that currently. Birds tweeting, Spring smells....much to like.
blhanel I keep thinking how neat it would be to visit the Adironack Scenic some Saturday without giving you advance notice, walking up to you and looking you square in the eye (which most people can't do!), and saying, "Hi, tree68!"

But you're still welcome to come visit!
Good morning, I think. 68 and sunny in Carolina. Another beautiful day to enjoy. Not too awful else to report, so everyone take care
Somebody is going to have to keep track of who has run into whom in their travels one of these days and plot it out. Methinks Lincoln or Chicago might have lotsa links.
Get to go visit the Air Force constabulary and see if I am worthy enough to count cars going in and out of a main gate nearby over easter weekend. (Red one, green one, blue one....)
Willy, the folks west of us want to talk to you. (40 car pileup on I-70 closed the road in a raging snowstorm)....we were supposed to get rain from that same storm and got nothing, except a red flag warning. http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_14801369?source=pop_section_news
and Kitchi the otter stll remains on the lam from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo....
Good Friday Morning
another top notch day here for NW ohio.They are calling for another record high.Going to go for our morning walk then we are going to go trackside somewhere.Cw thanks for breakfast.
locomutt CANADIANPACIFIC2816 locomutt Well, as CW said, she, Sarah and myself got to meet and talk to/with two very fine people today. Just very sorry we didn't have more time to talk, but they had to get on the road and meet up with some more people today. Here's a picture of Bob (spokyone) and his Lady Barb outside of the restaurant before they headed to places East of us. Thank You Bob and Barb for a Great Day!! (think the Sun was getting in Barb's eyes!) Walt, I don't know if I will ever have the pleasure of meeting this couple, but I would bet a quarter that they are very nice people, based on the limited contact that I have had with Bob through emails. Ray, Don't know how much a "betting person" you are, but you'd better up your ante!! It's Definitely worth more than a quarter!!!!!

Good Friday morning, everyone. As you can tell, I slept in this morning a little bit! Think I needed it, after getting all that good fresh outside air yesterday.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Mookie, here's your coffee mug.
On the serving station this morning: A selection of doughnuts/danish/muffins, bagels and bear claws.
Mookie, want to go out to the garden this morning, and watch the trains go by? It's a beautiful morning to do just that! Temp is is the mid 60s, going for a high in the mid 80s today.
Everyone have a good morning, and take care.
