Mornin from Carolina. 62 and fog a half hour before sunrise. The boffins promise nearly 90 and sun for the next few days. We missed all the rain. The first wave passed to the west, the second to the east and left us high and dry.
It looks like the crowd was down a bit last night, so hopefully things will pick up today. Mookie, here is your mug, coffee that is. The standard fare is on the bar, so everyone dig in and enjoy.
Everyone have a great day and stay safe.

Produce went well this morning. We had 54 people show up today, plus a couple of scragglers who came in about 9:45. We got cantaloupe, green beans, cabbage, broccoli that has seen better days (it had yellow stems and the heads were turning purple), and bags of shredded iceburg lettuce.
Our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now on the serving station. You can fix your own tacos, burritos, fajitas and chimichangas; there's also Spanish rice, lettuce & tomatoes, sour cream, guacomolie dip, along with picante sauce, thick & chunky salsa and tortilla chips.
Dan, hope you and Misty survive the baby's tooth cutting time. Hope you have a good supply of teethers stashed in the freezer.
Everyone have a great afternoon, and take care.

Beautiful morning in central Indiana....Sunny, and clear blue sky. Mid 50's early this morning...Going to about 80. Humidity, not an issue yet.
Financial weekness in Greece is once again hitting the stock market hard this morning.
Must go out with the new edger / trimmer and sharpen up the driveway edges also along the side walk, after my mowing {again}, yesterday.

Peace be with you. 72 and light misting rain in Carolina. Headed for the 90s and a thunderstorm later this morning, according to the boffins. The heavy weather passed to the west of us yesterday, and hopefully this storm will too. Not too much to offer at this time, so will see yall later. Everyone take care
Here you go Mook. I've actually been hittin' that stuff lately. Aedan's cutting teeth which means we're not sleeping much. Couple that with switching back to 1st shift for me and 2nd shift for Misty...not fun.
Clear, sunny, and 47 this morning. Not a bad way to start the day...but I'd rather be just waking up now instead of being up for 4 hours already...sigh...this will pass. Looking forward to plasma appointment today...maybe they'll let me nap!
Dan
Ergggg - must be Tuesday, which doesn't look a whole lot different from Monday.
More coffee needed, please....

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. I definitely don't like asparagus, and can barely tolerate mushrooms, as to me, the mushrooms don't have much of a taste to them, no matter how you fix them.
Mookie, glad to hear that Joe is just letting his finners rest. But, you know this 'mother hen' around here: I want everyone to be around.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And there's hot water on for our tea drinkers. On the serving station this morning: How about some blueberry muffins and some apple/cinnamon muffins, along with the bagels, bear claws, and the rest of our regular breakfast items?
Our current temp is in the low 60s, and we're going for a high around 78 degrees this afternoon. Aparently, we got a little bit of that dreaded R word overnight: I looked out the kitchen window on my way to the computer, and the street is wet.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast and your morning. I'll see you all later, after I get through with the Tuesday Produce. You all take care!
Asparagus Sucks!! (or as commenly known in this household a$$-per-grass.)

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!!

Willy2 Mookie Deggesty mudchickenSorry, the CO/NE asparagus barrier will be left untouched. The asparagus lovers are glad to know this. There is someone out there that actually likes that weed? I think it should be sprayed and then plowed under. UGH! I agree. Who needs asparagus??

I do. Aedan likes it too. A little lemon-pepper-butter sauce to drizzle on it after it's steamed, eaten on the side of venison tenderloin with baked/mashed taters. YUM!
Speaking of Jerry Reed (thanks Randy!) try this video on for size:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnRwQjTYfGI
Sounds like CN is getting purchasing (from the lessor) the ex UP, exx CNW C40/41-8s. I saw on RRPictureArchives some are already patched to CN sitting somewhere in Texas. I will have to keep an eye out for those.

Went train watching today, and of course all of the good stuff comes by on the one day that I don't have my camera. BNSF train with a brand new GEVO, a Canadian National local, and the UP track geometry car. Never fails. Still some nice stuff to see though.

Deggestyrvos1979we set 5000lbs of block in two days.Well, that's a ton and a quarter each, in two days. Now, if you load sixteen tons in one day, what do you get? You two certainly are ambitious.
rvos1979we set 5000lbs of block in two days.
You two certainly are ambitious.
If we did sixteen ton in a day, we would not be as large as we are! Seriously, a pallet from Home Depot is only 126 blocks, so it's not really that much. Once the bottom row is down and leveled, it goes very quickly. My dad has to get two pallets of portland cement every so often for where he works, and those pallets are around three ton each, and he restacks those himself!
Dad and I have convinced ourselves that if we ever change the parking lot and large garden over from old railroad ties to retaining wall block, we will need a semi load. Not really looking forward to that....
Thanks Mookie, I'll try to be patient, until I hear back from you, re. Joe.
Here is what I've managed to come up with the rest of today's menu:
1. Spaghetti w/meat balls, tossed salad and garlic bread (bread, sticks, Texas toast)
2. Grilled pork chops w/corn on the cob, broccoli w/butter sauce and tossed salad
Everyone have a good afternoon, and you all take care.
locomutt Modelcar locomutt Well Quentin, Just checked the Rain Gauge; and it's showing almost 5"......that would be from yesterday morning until now. (and it's still sprinkling here now.) (We're about 70 degrees here now, not sure what the high was for today) Sarah is now in Atlanta for a week, doing some training at the CSX ready center....she called back here when she was just south of Nashville on Interstate 24 saying that she got diverted off the Interstate onto U.S. 41 due to high water. Seems that area got hit very hard on rainfall. She is now safely in Atlanta. Walt, I was wondering about Sarah....I noted you said she started to Atlanta I believe it was yesterday and hearing of the terrible situation on I-24 and I-65 south of Nashville, we wondered if she made it thru ok.....That was a massive weather front to produce 13.5" of rain in the Nashville area. Figures I heard in the past hour. We just got a very brief hard rain here several hours ago and it was from one of the outer fingers of that system. Believe it's all past us now. To be 75 and sunny tomorrow. She got to Atlanta about 8 o'clock our time; apparently she was just ahead of all the major flooding in that area. Just went out and checked our rain gauge, it was overflowing......the last mark on it is 5 inches. (and I think we are still short a few inches of rainfall for the year.)(average)

Beautiful sunny day here and the atmosphere seems to have cleaned itself. I had planned to mow tomorrow but.....Must do it today....I believe our shrubs grew several inches over the last 24....!! Grass as well. I was shocked when I looked at the shrubs this morning. But, it sure is a nice day out there....Just walked out to the rain gauge in bear feet, and it just doesn't get much nicer.
Quentin - he had his Berkshire Hathaway meeting this last weekend. So he is very busy in NE right now. They are supposed to be on the caboose of that train, but headed where, I have no clue. When Warren orders toast at any restaurant, the whole town turns out to watch him.
Yes UP is in Omaha as well as Mr. B's home base. I think that is why BNSF was kind of a surprise to a lot of us.
Mookie Also heard that Matt Rose and Warren Buffett may be in our town on Wed this week. Anyone else know any details?

Jen.....I saw Warren {live}, with Becky Quick on CNBC this morning. It looked like they were doing the interview in a plush railroad dinner. Isn't Omaha UP headquarters. So we know for sure he is in Nebraska as of this morning. She seems to be with him a lot during finance programs and interviews.
