Nice and sunny here this morning, but just like in February, that sun belies the fact that the temperature at 6 AM was 23F. That's two overnight freezes in a row here.
Of course, many areas of New York state had snow for Mother's Day.
Saw my doctor yesterday. We had a nice chat at the home improvement store, where she and her husband were buying stain for the deck....
Off to the day's projects.

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").
.......Another day here and it's overcast and a bit of rain occasionally. Checked my rain gauge and during the night we gathered 1" of rain. Temp now just a bit above 50 degrees. Chance of rain today and a few more ahead of us.
Must run as we have a schedule to have some preventive maintenance on our automobile at the dealer at 10. Then, on to breakfast.....In the truck.

Good morning all from Prescott, AZ! Bright sun but cool at 5600 feet in the AZ mountains, about 46 now and into mid 60's this afternoon.
I received my third cortisone shot to my lower spine yesterday and cannot have any more until late September. Right now I am the most comfortable I have been in 60 days so with the help of Aleve I hope to continue functioning W/O surgery.
Enough about my problrm, all of you railroaders have a great, safe, day.
Willy; last year we rode the S/W Chief from FLG. to CHG.& back. That is quite a ride with changes of scenery. Are you going to drive to TUC. on I-17 ?? If so ,you will pass Cordes Jct. at mp. 262 . This is our home20. It is also a truck stop ( Shell) and fast food diner. From here it is about 100 mi. to Tuc. Hope your trip is fun. ~~~ Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Cannonball Jim, good to see you in this morning, along with the others who have been in. Produce truck came early again this morning. I was back home just around 10 a.m. Had 56 people today. But my helpers were on the ball, and we got everyone out lickety split.
Today's menu: open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters & beef gravy, mac & cheese, corn, broccoli & rice w/butter sauce.
Everyone have a good afternoon, and take care.
I'll have the special, hold the broccoli.
I'll take his broccoli.....

(1) Arizona is not gonna be far enough away if Willy allows Mooks to get snowed on (Weather bubbas in Denver are talking anywhere from 4 inches to 20 inches tonight) It just started to rain.
(2) Glad to see Brian back home at ground level...Slow and easy for a while fella.
(3) Anybody heard from CopCarSS in the command bunker at Concrete Madness Inc.?
(4) DiningCar - sorry about the back. Send the 800 Lb gorrilla to Amarillo or have it say hello to Willy.
Um...Gotta go, the ceiling is talking, the strobes are not for disco and the alarm/klaxxon is getting a tad annoying. This "test" is getting outta hand - Did the building strike an iceberg?

No snow for Mookie, I promise! And I don't need any 800 Lb gorrillas chasing me around Arizona either!!
Cannonball - Yep, that's the route we'll be taking. Might have to stop by and say hello. Definitely looking forward to the trip, although the 60 mph winds and duststorm reported in Winslow today are a little worrisome.
Willy
um...corn snow mixed with snow.....scotties alarmed by thunder & lighting. Gus the weatherdog says it's wet, he might melt....
Hello? Big Monkeys 'R Us? .... Special order desk?
Willy; there is a high and a low pressure sys. battleingfor space right now . Our weather heads says itwill pass in 1or 2 days. Wind blew I-40 eb. closed at twin arrows to Winslow . Big rigs had a tough go of it. Bright and shiny on Mon. thru the week. So the W/Heads say as they toss darts at a spinning weather wheel .LOL Check ur P M . Cannonball
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. And special wishes going out to Arizona today, as it is Cannonball's birthday: Happy Birthday, Cannonball!! May it be a very good day for you, and wishing you all the best!!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go.
On the serving station this morning: bacon ,sausage, grits, scrambled eggs, biscuits w/sausage gravy, and toast to go with the grits, bagels and bear claws.
We're starting the day out with a temp in the mid 60s this morning, with fair skies right now. But we have a 50% chance of scattered rain/tstorms for the day.
Everyone have a good morning and you all take care.
mudchicken - Did the building strike an iceberg?
Happy Birthday Cannonball!
Glad you're home Brian (IA) and I hope you get well soon!
Willy-have fun on that trip. Sounds like fun.
Mookie-I will take one for the "team". If you are supposed to get snow, send it this way, like around Memorial Weekend. I won't be here!
Dan
Ah snow. I can smell it, but it will stay pretty much on the asparagus border. Going to just flop over a little into the territory. Dan, don't move to CO or SD
MC - you really need to get out of the Denver area and into something a little more stable like.....well, I want to think that over a little more. Seems nothing is really stable this year. Maybe Lincoln - we have had rain, but our instability is our local politics!
Cannonball, a happy day to you, sir. I will donate a chocolate chip cookie in your honor right after I check it for flaws!
Brian - deep breathley. Doesn't that feel a lot better?
Well, back into the clouds. I know there is a sun out there somewhere.
Moo

......57 plus here in our fair city of Muncie at this hour. Overcast, and a rainy morning. Some heavy weather is passing south of us {again}.
Snow....! Saw that stuff on the TV this morning out in Denver...Wow, shouldn't happen in mid May....{Although, I know it can}....In any month.
Cannonball.......Enjoy a good day that's special to you and yours.
Well, I've not heard from our "Birthday Boy", as to his meal preferences for today; but, if my memory serves me correctly, what I have decided on for today, is one of his preferences:
Beef stew w/cornbread, and there's also garden salad to go along with it.
For dessert: chocolate chip cookies and there's several peach cobblers w/ice cream.
Ms. Mookie; thank you for tasting ~~ OOPS ahh testing that for me.Greetings of the day to you. Cannonball
Thank you , Quentin. I would like to be muncing in Muncie on a piece of cake.
CW. I'll have some of my favorate supper / w , trimmins

While we haven't exactly had the "Heavy Weather" here, we've had several hard Thunderstorms this morning; and now early afternoon, looks like we're about to get extra wet again!!
Cannonball, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Hope it's a Great one and you have Many More!!
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!!

Happy Birthday Cannonball!!
Checked my PM inbox, but alas, 'twas empty. Perhaps something got gobbled up in cyberspace?
Cannonball, you share the day with my wife.
Brian, please give my Happy Birthday wishes to Joanie!!
The serving station has been replenished with the stew, cornbread, salad and desserts for tonight.
So far, no more rain, but that'll probably be changing later on.
Cannonball, hope your day has been very blessed and happy for you. You deserve to have a great birthday!
Willy try that pm again . A power failure on this end.
Brian Iam honored to share the day with her. WOW ! and on her 21st.b'day too.LOL
Thanks to all who posted to me
Cannonball and Joanie, Happy Birthday to the both of ye, and best wishes for Minnie Moore, whoever she is. I am glad to help eat a piece of your cake and sample the stew beef we are having for supper. I may not be good at a lot of things, but eating ain't one of them. I have a degree in eating.....
It has been a long day. I had to take one of the girls to the vet. He looked at her, decided that the tiny wound on her neck wasn't serious enough to treat and charged $64 for the favor. Yowzers!!! I think I was in the wrong profession.
Everybody take and enjoy the rain if you get it. We are awfully dry here
Good Thursday morning, everyone. We have 69 degrees here this moring, going for a steamy 89 today. yuck!! Supposed to have another chance of showers later tonight.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning, our regular bagels and bear claws, along with fresh cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & sausage gravy.
I'm sorry to report, we lost our baby elephant, Scotty, who turned 1 year old a few months ago, from colic. I did not know that a baby (human or animal) could die from colic. He was the first baby elephant born at the Louisville Zoo.
On a happier note, our main library, which had a lot of damage from the August flood, will be totally reopened to the public this morning. They had reopened sections of the first floor back in the Fall.
Everyone have a great day, stay as cool as possible (or in the case of our friends in Denver, warm(?) as possible. Mookie, how about taking our coffee out to the garden this morning, and do some train watching, and talking?
I bet if they had fed that baby elephant chocolate cake, he would have been just fine.
So sad - I hate to lose any animals, especially baby ones.
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio - duck and cover. The weather looks just horrible right now in that area. And drought on the fringes - Texas and now SC.
Will grab some cushions to sit on and off to the garden!
