Tom: Looks like you need to head north and east to get wet. We just had a stray shower. Very stray! Poured for about 3 min and now clear and sunny!

Wow. Kinda quiet in here today, 80 and overcast in Carolina this afternoon. It has only gone up 2 degrees since 4 AM, but heavy weather and thunder is expected later and tomorrow.
A few check ins since I started this missive. Congrats to Grampaw Larry
A second night of no thunderstorms that had been predicted. The governors office is promising to look into it!
Everyone have a great day

Congrats Tree! If memory serves me right - a girl?
Sometimes the relatives are as exhausted as the new mom. Glad to hear all are fine!
Isn't that just the way - Dad goes to work and Mom does, too!
.4" in rain gauge for the overnight. Should be the last of the stormy weather firing up each afternoon / evening, for the past 3 or 4 days. High pressure taking over now for several days.
Bright sunshine in much clearer skies today, meaning lower humidity too. River thru our fair city is still high, but not too much flooding in our area. Some areas, very much so.

Started my day at 0500 today, driving an expectant mother (in labor) to the hospital. Happened to be my daughter-in-law, since my son was working. Five hours later (10:16) grandchild #3 was born. Mom and child (and dad) doing well. Papa is worn out by entertaining a two-year-old all morning, but his relief has her right now...
Time for a little rest and a consideration of what the evening will bring.

Good Wednesday morning, everyone. We had more storms come thru last night. I think all we managed to get was rain, a little rumble of thunder, but never saw any lightning. About 9 p.m., we gathered together, and watched the newest Sly Stalone Rambo. That is a pretty good movie!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage patties, scrambled eggs, made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits w/milk gravy w/bits of sausage in it.
Everyone have a good morning, and I'll see you all later on this morning.
Afternoon all. CW, thanks for a delicious supper!
Today was so hot, and steamy! The worse news is that our local bank had an attempted robbery, and one of the convicts was a juvenile. Oh well life still goes on. I helped my Grandpa pick 4 buckets full of Gooseberries. That was fun. Have a good evening all!

We {Muncie area}, escaped the stormy extremes last night but certainly not the rainfall: 2.25" overnight.
But once again, there were some serious stuff in certain areas of our State. Probably will fire up again this afternoon or evening.
Overcast {dry}, now, and it 76 degrees. So....while it's not boiling hot, we'll do some more shrub trimming.
Peace be with you. 85 and sunny in Carolina, pushing 100 and thunder later. Last night's storm didn't show up, and an investigation is planned.
Justin congrats, I reckon, on being a fresh man. BTW, being a fresh man is a good way to getting one's face slapped!!! It's also a good way to getting punched out. Go easy there.
Back to the wireless. Have a great day
Yesterday I got soaked twice while mowing sister's yard. The sky just opened up suddenly... It is very foggy in our part of Illinois this morning. Off to Moline for doctor appointments. I don't like the real early appointments because I almost get run over by people trying not to be late for work. Have a great day.
morning

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").
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Justin, congrats on 'graduating' to freshman status! I know you'll do well in the coming year.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving/warmer station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage patties, scrambled eggs, and the following fruits: kiwi, papaya, cantaloupe, watermelon.
I sure do hope that at Produce this morning, we have it inside the gym, where it is cool (gym is air conditioned). Then, most of us won't mind if we have to wait, because the truck is late!
Currently, we have a temp of 75 degrees, with fair skies, going for a high of 92 today.
Everyone have a good morning, and take care.
Happy birthday to all!
Really storming here in western Indiana. I got my report card today, and I am proud to report that I am now a Freshman! Wish I could go train watching soon. Oh well maybe later.
For Matt's and Sarah's birthdays, I grilled out tonight, and it is on the serving station:
1. Burgers, cheeseburgers, fries, w/garden salad
2. Chicken abracadbra w/carrots & onion, mashed taters and garden salad
Doctor's visit went well. Only gained 1 pound in the last three months. BP was up a little bit, although I couldn't get them to tell me exactly what me BP was this morning. Also had lab work done, so hopefully sometime tomorrow, I'll know how everything is going.
Our current temp is 92, with a heat index of 101. Official high was 94 degrees today. Blechhhh
It's about 92 degrees here right now, and very humid.....thought "This" kind of weather wasn't due until later in the Summer!! (and it's not officially Summer yet!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Matt and Sarah!!!!!
[Matt, I think I saw some Extra Fries for You!!]
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!!
.....I've been in here a while now....{cooling off from shrub trimming}, and more to do, and will continue soon. Have watched some action over on the Roanoke rail cam and looked around several places, but certainly not much action on here.
So....Guess it's back to the shrubs.
Good morning from Carolina. 86 and sunny, headed for 99 and thunder. We had one more whizzbanger of a storm come through last night. As I understand it, there are still wires down, but all is well here.
Happy birthday to Sarah and Onionhead Kohnen. Many happy returns of the day.
Everyone take care
.....Forwarding my birthday wishes to Sarah and Matt.
We have a mostly sunny morning here and plenty of temp to go with it....
Possible rain / thunderstorms forming again today....We were not much involved, but some areas of Indiana did have winds taking down trees and power lines yesterday.
Must try to trim a few more shrubs today....if the heat will allow me to....
Happy Birthday to Sarah and Matt!
Deggesty - I can't blame you for sleeping through Omaha. There's not much to see during the day, let alone at night!
We're going to get a break from the rain for a couple of days. Omaha is up to 6 inches just since June 1st. Lots of flooding going on all across Nebraska and surrounding states.
Willy
Many good wishes to Sarah and Matt. Sarah, do you get to work on your special day? That might not be such a bad present after all.
Sarah
Matt says thanks for the birthday wishes.Very wet this morning with more rain in the forecast.Might need a boat to go to my sisters in Lima on saturday.Time for a nap.Then chores to do later.
Joe
Good Monday morning, everyone. We had a good rain a little bit after 11 p.m. last night. A couple of hours earlier, Walt and I saw some heat lightning west and to the north of us, as we were outside. Everything is quiet this morning.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast.
I have a busy day ahead: getting chicken browned and into Crock Pot for Sarah's birthday supper tonight, along with taters, carrots and onion; laundry taken care of, and get another errand out of the way. And in between, a 9:15a.m. appointment with family doctor for my 3 month checkup.
Want to wish both Sarah and Matt K. a Very Happy Birthday, with many, many, many more to come your way!! And yes, there is plenty of chocolate birthday cake for everyone!!
For lunch today, there are coldcuts prepared, and in the fridge, if someone could please set them out on the serving station around noon-time for me, I'd appreciate it greatly. Thank you!!
Everybody have a good morning, and I'll see you all sometime late afternoon.
In 1997, PBS presented a documentary titled, "Frozen in Time" about a B-29 that emergency landed in Greenland shortly after ww2, and the efforts to restore it on site, and fly it out after being deserted for 50 years. Rebuilt engines and propellers, new tires and a bulldozer to build a runway, must all be flown to the site. Fascinating show.
On the news tonight, they related the return of a B-17D (I believe) in pieces from New Guineau. It took 20+ years and a million and a half $ to get her to Long Beach. The original crew have all died, but their families were there to see her home. It is intended to restore her to flying condition.
Mudchicken; is that warbirds home in your area?? Down the hill in Mesa AZ. there is another B-17 Sentimental Journey at Falcon Field. There is a C.A.F group there. The Queen is their star. Could it be the B17 you saw was just getting a wash job? LOL

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
mudchicken B-17 Silver Mist is flying around here today. Why they risk flying the plane in such rotten weather must be a concern for such a rare bird.

When I talked to the guys at the C-5A Galaxy, they said they had flown with a B-17 aboard (with its wings off, of course).
It was fascinating watching those old warbirds fly, though (there was also a B-25, a P-51, and a P-40 there). A tradition at airshows now seems to be to pair up a vintage fighter with a modern version. The A-10 that flew with the P-51 isn't a large plane, but it dwarfed the P-51.
Years ago, there was a museum at Santee, SC, called Wings and Wheels. They had several flying Trimotors and rides could be got rather reasonably. There were static exhibits of various warbirds and older civilian aircraft along with vintage automobiles and motorcycles. I haven't heard what happened to them after they picked up stakes and moved to Fla. It was a nice place to visit and I did so several times
Along the same theme: A rare bird, a Ford Tri-motor plane will be at our Muncie airport on June 17th to 20th....Rides for around $60 dollars. I'm not interested in flying in a 1929 airplane, but sure will be out there to get a good look and take pics. Hope we'll also see it take off and land, etc.
Interested in hearing how it sounds too....
