Morning all! CW, thanks for breakfast!
Boy what a rain storm we had last evening!Once, a large clap of thunder made the house rattle. It poured all night long, but now it’s just really cloudy, humid and mild. About 66* right now.
We took Grandma out for her birthday this morning. That was really nice, and I enjoyed getting to spend time with her and Mom. We had the best biscuits and gravy too!
We went down by the Norfolk Southern ROW and saw nothing but red all the way down the signal masts. Oh well, maybe another day.
Have a good one.

Once again, Mayday is here. Look at the dancing maidens.
After the deluge of last night, skies are clear and sun is out. Missed most of the big stuff, but helped to knock out some of the pollen (sister has allergies). Judging from the watches and warnings out, Louisville may have to build an ark before the weekend is out...
On vacation now for a week and a half, needed after so much time on the road. Hope to work on the layout, but missing box of roadbed I ordered (not sure where it is yet). It's only for the main line, though, maybe I can work around it. Also going to help my dad with a retaining wall project, have to run to Home Depot later to pick up another pallet of retaining wall block (second one this year, and fourth or fifth one overall for house).
See everyone later.....

Nice day here so far - but we'll have to see how long it takes that troublesome front to drift east. We could use some rain, though.
Off to lunch in Forestport in a little while.

Good Saturday morning. Tom, thank you and crew for getting everything moved overnight. Woke up at 4:50 to lightning shining through the bedroom window. Then, heard the thunder. Everything from flood watches to tornado watches has been the norm this morning. It looks like we'll have pretty much continuous rain/tshowers/storms until early Monday morning. The prediction so far, is a total of probably at least 5 inches by Monday morning. (Yuck, yuck, yuck)
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, scrambled eggs, sausage, made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, kiwi, papaya, bananas, bacon and pancakes w/syrup rounding up the selections this morning.
People out at Churchill Downs today definitely need to go for the mudders! They'll be opening the gates at 8 a.m., for the hoards of people to start going in. Two years ago today, on Derby morning, was when I had my anxiety attack, and went to the hospital. Glad I didn't have a repeat of that this morning!
Everyone enjoy your day, if you're in the 'zone' for rain/storms, stay safe, and as dry as possible.
Good morning. It's Saturday. 66 degrees and clear in Carolina, topping out with 86 and partly clear later. We actually spent a night without the girls throwing a hootenanny in the middle.... Guess the neighbor lady didn't blow her whistle.
Everybody have a great day and take care

grampaw pettiboneMy detail has got everything moved but the juke box, so far.
How well does the juke box work? Going on sixty years ago, I was asked to help a cafe juke box to work better than it was working. The main problem seemed to be grease that covered many of the working parts and hindered their movement.
In the thirties this moring, and we can expect the same for three or four more days. At least we have not had the heavy snow in the valley that Memphis and upcountry South Carolina had on Easter, 25 April, 1941. The mountains are getting several inches.

First of the month means moving time. This is the new site nfor the next month. My detail has got everything moved but the juke box, so far.

Everyone take care
