Good Friday morning, everyone. We currently have a temp of 73 degrees, going for a high of 76, with about a 30% chance of showers/tshowers for today. The three of us had an enjoyable evening last night: after supper, we watched Will Smith's The Pursuit of Happyness. That was a really good movie.
Okay, we now have Mookie back with us: Where is Joe?!?! Come back, Joe!
Coffee, juices and our other morning beverages are fresh and on the warmer bar.
On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws and an assortment of doughnuts and danish, along with bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
Tom, I'm trying my hardest to send this rain your way. Hopefully, it won't fizzle out before it makes it your way!
Everyone have a good morning, and you all take care.
I'm back. Spent the last 4 days in North Platte visiting the Golden Spike. Will be changing my address to Mookie c/o Golden Spike. To quote the younger generation - "awesome!" It is all there. Since we never get to see the yard locally, this was a chance to see everything that goes on in a yard.
Weather not too cooperative, but was nice and sunny for the drive back home after a week of cold and wet.
CW - that is still a "baby" in elephant years.
Must go finish unpacking, which is going a whole lot faster than the packing did!

We have a really nice summer like evening.....79 just a few minutes ago when I came in here. Our Tornado watch is to expire in about 35 min., unless it's been extended. Haven't looked in the last 2 hrs. So I believe we'll miss the heavy stuff again.
Quentin
Tom, I have trouble with the CFL's right here in my own house. They tend to mess up the VHF-Low band on my scanner, while not bothering the VHF-High.
Looks like Joe is under the gun again, although the watch box was devoid of any radar echos when I last looked. Raining here, but no heavy weather associated with it.
Ran on a fire in a neighboring town about noon today. The first in crew got an exceptional hit, preventing any fire spread from the porch where the fire started to the rest of the house. Sometimes everything lines up.
Back to my projects.
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
I have a whopping great backache at present. Don't know what caused it, but I am as irritable as a porkypine at present!! The bug man just came and squirted stuff on everything, and that didn't help my attitude.
I changed frequency bands on the wireless and talked with a guy in the Central African Republic and another in Iceland, so the day isn't a total loss. Not all bands are affected by the singing light pole!
Everyone take care
Tom
COAST LINE FOREVER

A contentious woman is like a constant dripping! (Solomon)
Good afternoon. 86 and clear in Carolina this lovely day, but we need the rain badly. Not much chance, tho, before the weekend according to the boffins. Nothing much to comment on about the wireless either, except that a nearby light pole is making life miserable, with its hissing and frying. I sicced the power company on it and they located it. Just waiting on a crew to do the honors.
Everybody take care
Well, I have a correction to make on Scotty the elephant: I was incorrect on his age: he was 3 years old. My bad, and I apologize for my error.
Mookie, I enjoyed our time out in the garden this morning, as always. You're a terrific friend, and I hope someday we can actually meet each other in person!
On today's menu: Homemade (versus boxed package, where you add the beef) beef noodle casserole. Along with it, there is corn, sliced tomatoes, brussels sprouts, and lima beans, for anyone (like me) who doesn't care for brussels sprouts.
Dessert: there's plenty of chocolate chip cookies and peach cobbler left from yesterday.
At 1:03, we are getting rain. Walt was going to head to the library, but the rain is coming down too hard. Hearing some thunder, but so far, I haven't seen any lightning, at least outside our window.
Everyone have a great afternoon, and if you're in the path of the rain/storms, take care.
MookieIllinois, Indiana and Ohio - duck and cover. The weather looks just horrible right now in that area.
Right now, we're experiencing sunshine and light overcast....Warm. Noted earlier, on radar the rough stuff {for now}, was missing central Indiana.
Another coating of snow and ice on Lurch.
Geese taking refuge inside the office building parking garage. (One pair hissing at everybody as they pull up to the card-swipe)
Very unusual day yesterday assisting a county surveyor with a defunct railroad in Weber County, UT. (This one kinda flew under most people's and the ICC's radar for 40 years(no relation to Bamberger))
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!
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?
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
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

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!
Cannonball, you share the day with my wife.

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!!

CW. I'll have some of my favorate supper / w , trimmins
Ms. Mookie; thank you for tasting ~~ OOPS ahh testing that for me.Greetings of the day to you. Cannonball
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.
Good mrning maurnin mornit whatever. 63 and clear in Carolina. gonna get higher I guess.
Methinks I stayed up too late last night to make any sense out of this message, so bye for now.
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
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
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.
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?
mudchicken (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.
