ModelcarNot blinking, just steady.
Quentin, it does not blink, but is like a motion detector or something similar. I have noticed, tho, that sometimes it switches off abruptly, and other times, will simply dim out. Guess we never will know what the thing is or where it is.

Good Thursday morning, everyone. We currently have a temp of 50 degrees, going for a high of 71, with chance of rain showers this afternoon/evening. Just in time to probably wash out the balloons preview tonight, a mini balloon race in the morning, and the balloon glow tomorrow night. Saturday, for the Balloon Race itself, it'll probably be too breezy/windy for the balloons to take off.
Coffee, juices and the rest of the morning beverages are fresh and ready to go, including hot water for our hot tea drinkers.
On the serving station this morning: pineapple chunks, watermelon chunks, papaya, kiwi, bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits & sausage gravy.
Everyone have a very good morning, and I'll see you all again after awhile. Take care.
ooo - Cw - I am going to sit really close to the breakfast bar this am. All that fruit sounds good to me! Maybe I am thirsty.
Sir C - Hail, no! Keep it there. Millie is out today for what is getting close to the last day of work. I don't want her dented in the next 2 weeks. She will be safe in her garage after that and then the hail can come.
Got a backache. Never have a backache. So investigating the possibilities - 2 suspect chairs and may have to turn the mattress. Also checking out shoes. Will get to the bottom of this!
Off to check the webcam and see what all the fuss is about. I have yet to see more than one train and no signals. Must study this a little closer. Maybe it is because I am always on the Netherland's cam. Action and noise both.
Later...

Somebody hand Lurch a bar of soap...
Mookie, I'm glad at least you enjoyed the selection of fruit this morning! (Well, other me moi.) I seem to have an abundance of apples, so maybe I'll get my bootie in gear, and make an apple pie for dessert tonight.
The menu for the rest of the day:
1. Roast beef w/mashed taters, gravy, green beans, corn, your choice of garden salad or cole slaw, and your choice of biscuits, dinner rolls or cornbread.
2. Barbecued country back bone ribs (the ones without the bones in them, they're all meat), with your choice of the above mentioned sides.
Have any of you ever read any of the books by Laurien Berensen? They're murder mysteries that take place at/around dog shows. Those are soooooo good! The first book of her series is A Pedigree to Die for. The one I'm curently reading is Underdog.
Everyone enjoy your meal, and the afternoon. Take care, and see you all later.
We had interesting weather around here yesterday, what with scattered storms here and there. Some places had rain in the morning, but we had none around where we live until in the afternoon. Also, there were fierce winds in two or three canyons, and at least one man had windows broken by hail as he was driving in one of the canyons.
Maybe spring will come to stay in two or three days. The *** willows are leaving out ("To ope their trunks, the trees are never seen. How, then, do they put on their robes of green? They leave them out"). The maple is putting its catkins out (the *** willows did that several days ago). Apple, and other, trees are blossoming. The hyacinth blooms have faded.

There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!
Good afternoon. I woke up with a headache again and have been lying down. We need a real gully washer to get rid of this pollen. The lawn guy showed up yesterday and stirred up things a mite, and now it's miserable out.
Yall can keep the hail. Just send us some rain!
afternoon
chores and errands done in town.Matt is taking doughnuts to school tomorrow.I won a mystery tune (give me 3 steps)and got a free dozen and then kicked in the rest for his class.Going to go put my new hinges on my tailgate for my truck.You never know how much you miss a truck when you don't have one.Tom the pollen has mom and I both stuffed up.Mookie hope your back gets back in shape.Cw thanks for supper.Can we have some ice cream to go with that apple pie?? Time to get going.
stay safe
Joe
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").
Joe, of course you can have apple pie ala mode, along with everyone else! Got some containers ready for you, for work tonight. So you're good to go!
And the serving station has been replenished for everyone else.
Everyone take care, and have a good evening.
Peace be with you. I am either up early or up late, take your choice. I am gonna hit the rack in a few minutes and won't be here in the morning. The wife and I are going to the Cracker Barrel for lunch and then do some shopping and won't be back until the afternoon. Everyone take care and have a great day
Good Friday morning, everyone. Tom you were an early bird this morning. Hope you and your Mrs. enjoy your late morning, afternoon of shopping. We're getting some light rain this morning, so no one knows yet if the Rush Hour Balloon Race will be a go or a dud yet. Have a current temp in the low 60s, should see a high in the low to mid 70s, even with a chance of some thunder showers, later this morning, and then again tonight, when they're supposed to have the Balloon Glow tonight.
My Therapy session is scheduled for 11:15 this morning (acutal appontment time, although with the transportation co., I told them my appointment was at 11, so I could actually be there on time).
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go, along with plenty of hot water for our tea drinkers.
On the serving station this morning, is a variety of fresh fruit, along with bagels, bear claws and a selection of dougnuts, danish, and muffins.
I have tuna salad made for lunch today, and after I get home from PT, I'll be starting the cooking, frying for our Friday Fish Fry.
Everyone have a good morning, stay as dry as possible, if you're getting the rain, be safe and take care.
Hmmmm:
In the past 24 hours: Wind + Sun + rain (frogstrangler variety)+ thunder + lightning+ tornado (out east in Kiowa)+ hail +currently snow....
Good day to be inside taking CPR and First Aid renewal classes ...
// stiffled giggles and guffaws eminating again from the freshman lab at dear old Weatherliar U.
Sir C - head this way. First aid, Kool-aid or Gatorade needed for Driver. Sharp knife + finger = ugly manicure, all for the sake of chopped parsley. Bring 1/3 nail for finger, the important one - the one you talk with....! Hope we can get thru about 10 more work days with all appendages intact.
Joe & Q - wrote an ode for you in my sleep - "gentle rain arrived overnite. Pulled all leaves of grass out of clay ground. Washed them off and made them tall. Putting out a call for all mowers!"
Willy - happened to be partially awake when saw 2 flashes of lightning and maybe a little thunder above the roar of the snore. Nice, very nice!
Backache pretty much gone. Changed everything I could think of including the weather. Seems to have moved up to head, which is easily remedied. Helpful hint - if you have unexplained knee, back or neck issues, look to simple things - chair (they sag after about the 1st month) pillows - change em, shoes - don't wear until they look like a teenage boys and bed - get a good quality one. Especially if it takes you all day to work out the kinks and it's time for bed again.

Jen: Weather noise on TV.....but radar shows it will cross Indiana thru the southern half.....We're in the middle, roughly. So may not see much or any here. Nice this morning, but a bit on the cool side....62.1 now....seems to be rising rather quickly. 42 earlier, when I first looked as I took the pup out.
Your mention of shoes bring me to mention trivia;
Wearing each day now, Rockports that I had in the box {new}, for 5 years....!
Still have another pair of Rockports {a bit different, but new}, that are still in the box after about 7 years....! Seems all this goes along with the pace....Once had an FM antenna still in box after 5 years, and then installed it....!

Tom:
Again, last evening, I turned back to the Roanoke cam several times and found the "light" on sometimes, and off at other times that I clicked to go back and take a look. Doesn't seem to be any regularity to it....?? Have no idea what it might be I believe the interstate is over in that direction, but don't know what kind of light there would cycle as this does....
Quite a few freight trains east and west on that cam last evening....
Quentin; thanks for the directions to the railcams. I hope the puter is straightned out now, ( big hammer & crowbar on desk) LOL LOL

Still the potential for severe thunderstorms later this afternoon. I'm still concerned that the clouds we have now will hold down instability, but this is a dynamic spring storm system, so it doesn't necessarily need a lot of instability to produce thunderstorms.
Glad you're enjoying the weather, Mudchicken. I'm just practicing all of the new skills I've learned this year.
Quentin: Have you been watching the Roanoke cam today? It's been pretty busy, from what I've seen.
Willy
busy day today.MC I saw on the news this morning where they had to plow hail off the highway??? ouch.I got a thank you note from matt's class for the doughnuts.Busy doing things around home today.Mom has some other ideas coming up.On a trip today did see q 501 with a big load of some kind but just got a peek at it.Cw thanks for supper.

Quite correct, It may not be on the building I identified since it is near the top of it and may be far beyond. I guess this is something we will never really know without an onsite reconnaisence.
Evening, everyone. Made it back home from PT just after 1 p.m. I must not have taken my pain med this morning, as my back has been really aching all afternoon. Took a nap, and I just decided to take a pain pill. Wouldn't earlier, since I could not remember if I had taken it this morning: did not want to od.
On to important matters for a Cafe/Diner: supper is now on the serving station.
FISH: Cod, haddock, halibut, flounder, perch, salmon croquets, shrimp (jumbo butterfly, and popcorn),
SIDE DISHES: Cole slaw, corn on the cob, baked beans, fries, onion rings, battered fried mushrooms, cornbread, hush puppies.
DESSERTS: Chocolate cake w/white icing, Yellow cake w/chocolate icing, apple, cherry, peach cobblers and pecan pie.
BEVERAGES: Soft drinks, milk, iced tea (sweet & unsweetened), Gatorade, lemonade, plus several different flavors of VitaminWater, hot tea, hot chocolate, apple cider
They did not have the Rush Hour Balloon Race this morning, since it was raining, and the winds were over 12 mph. And if the winds and rain come in, the BalloonGlow for tonight (9 p.m.) will be held in the South Wing of the Ky. Expo Center at the Fairgrounds. And so far, the Marathon and Mini-marathon are still a go for in the morning (runners don't particularly mind going ahead & running in the rain, storms).
Everyone have a great evening, and take care.
Hello everybody...after a long absence I am now able to come back to the cafe and partake in some of CW's wonderful cullinary delights. My bride has just finished getting her elderly parents into assisted living and my Mom is now settled back into her assisted living apartment and we're having an estate sale this weekend for her before putting her house on the market. All of this, along with our son getting a new job (thank God for that) and being very, very busy at work (both my bride and me as well) have kept me away for too long, but I'm glad to be back. Hope all has gone well in my absence. Looking forward to being more active in the future.
Welcome back, Jim!! Sounds like you and your bride have really been busy little beavers!! Glad to have you back, and thank your for your compliment.
Willy2Quentin: Have you been watching the Roanoke cam today? It's been pretty busy, from what I've seen.
Willy......Haven't been on here much since this morning....but I did see a west bound covered hopper train and to my surprise.....2 NS pushers on the rear. I've been looking at it now back and forth for the last half hour. No traffic yet. But I'm sure we'll catch one soon.....
Edit: Just caught an eastbound....A short covered hopper consist and just one engine.....8:13 EDT.

Paula, I trust that your exercises are truly helping you.
Just passin' through - in class all day today* and at the public TV station all evening and back to class again in the morning then back for a fire department function on Saturday evening.
It's not "tomorrow" until you go to bed and get up again...

Good Saturday morning, everyone. Joe, thanks so much for getting breakfast ready this morning. Pancakes and sausage sound really good this morning!
We too, have rain this morning. It is on the light side, but later on, we've got thunderstorms headed our way. I have the TV on, and so far, I'm not seeing any video of balloons getting ready to take to the skies. But, it looks like the mini marathon and marathon will be taking place.
Like Joe said, everyone stay as dry as possible.
Johnny, the exercises are helping, somewhat. I did remember to take my pain pill this morning, so in a little bit, when I start my exercises, I'll feel better after doing them.
Joe, thanks for putting breakfast together for the rest of us. I got out of bed here barely 20 minutes ago.
I got my yard mowed yesterday before it started raining here, and it rained all night here last night. We had a thunderstorm come through this region after midnight and the lightning was absolutely brilliant! KA-BOOM!!!!, KA-BOOM!!!!, KA-BOOM!!!! KA-BOOM!!!
Today is the opening day of my railroad club's open house, and I am sitting here waiting to see if any of our club members will call me and ask me if I need a ride. I choose not to drive for medical reasons. I will be going out with another one of our club members tomorrow for sure.
ooo ooo ooOOOoo
Pure as the driven slush....still wet snow and now falling rocks in the intermountain west. 60 ton rock tried to fly off a hillside in the Morrison, CO area along the old South Park route(DSP&P RR) and landed in the southbound lanes of US-285.
Lots of activity at the bird feeders (harder to get at the worms under the snow)
back to work
Good morning from Carolina. 68 and overcast this morning. Last time I checked the weather forecast, it said no rain, but methinks it may have changed since last night. We could sure use some to put down the pollen. Thanks for breakfast, Joe. I won't be in tonight since it is seafood and BBQ ribs night here. Everyone take care
