The storm blew through here yesterday about 3:30. Then we went to Moline for an outdoor wedding at 5:30. At 7:30, another storm came through. My niece got hitched OK.
After a hot and muggy day here in central Indiana....at about 8 pm, black clouds with a nasty look approached {fast}, from the NW along with blustery wind for phase one, which was a rather solid red line on radar, but not very "deep", so it passed rather quickly with some rain.
During the night, which I heard just a bit of....Another phase came thru and my rain gauge indicates .9" of an inch overnight....including phase one.
And the potential is there for similar to happen again today. Afternoon temps expected to be in the area of 92 degrees. Lots of sunshine here this morning. And these conditions are in our extended forecast for almost another week....

88 and sunny here on the Chesapeake shore. Daddy just took the little one up to mommy to feed, two-year-old is headed to the store with daddy.
Been out of touch due to no WIFI at son's house. Bought him a new router (cheaper than buying an aircard), so I'm in touch again.
Has anyone ever noticed that two-year-olds are bi-polar?
Off to other tasks.

Larry, how is the 2 year old reacting to new baby? Hopefully not showing any signs of jealousy.
We didn't get the mid 90s temps today. We're in the mid to upper 80s, and there's a nice breeze out.
Here is our Saturday Night Pizza Fest menu:

cherokee womanLarry, how is the 2 year old reacting to new baby? Hopefully not showing any signs of jealousy.
First test of that will be when Papa heads home, second will be when Daddy goes back to work after his vacation.
I suspect that things will go well. Unfortunately, the two-year-old isn't really old enough to truly "help" with anything just yet.
Papa held the little one for an hour while she slept tonight, while her mom went to the store.
One sidelight - the baby was born a little after 10AM on the 16th, and was home by 5 PM on the 17th. Used to be you could figure on three days or so that they would be in the hospital...

Evening all.....
Not too bad driving this weekend, other than I had to use our road service last night, popped a tire on a trailer with a tire inflation system that would not keep it filled (hole too big), it now has a new tire.
Will throw all meals into a few containers and eat it all week, too much to eat in one sitting.
Happy fathers day to all dads out there, and the first day of summer is tomorrow....
Looked at large radar shot a bit ago, those in KS and NE may want to hit the dirt. IA Brian: Weather Channel the other day compared the weather pattern we are in with the one from 1993. Hope it not as bad as either of those years.....
Well, off to bed.....

Geez - and I get to spend Tues-Thurs in between Mookie/Willy2 and Brian....about 15-20 miles west of the Kate Shelly bridge....Hope fried-chicken isn't on the menu then (after lightning zaps the GPS receiver I'm toting around.)
willy: I know two people working up by Norfolk right now, scrambling to establish cross-dock/transload sites account of the failed bridge (that may not be replaced for almost 12 mos.) - rough times...
Randy: I remember '93 too well. I don't think the railroads could weather one of those as well now as they did then with the limited resources they have now.

You might luck out- we were supposed to get rain today, but it hasn't happened yet. Joanie and I spent the night in north Des Moines last night- they had a storm go through during the night, but we never heard it. We joined our daughter and SIL yesterday afternoon and toured Terrace Hill, the old Victorian mansion that is now the Iowa Governor's residence (his family lives on the third floor, the first two are set up for display). Very interesting place.

Yo - rest of USA - we are keeping the rain for awhile. We have some places we need to fill with water - like the Big Ditch the city thought we should have - so we dug this "must have" right thru the city center. It is now done and we must fill it with water to prove the need. (Snort!)
Sir Chicken - stay low.....been lots of lightning and thunder!
Watched trains thru raindrops yesterday and also got to see a broken knuckle pretty much right in front of us. They had to have a committee meeting over that one. Glad it happened close to the yard and not out on the "iowa Prairie". Took 5 people to put Humpty together again!

Good Monday morning, everyone. Mookie, here's your coffee. I had the alarm set, but it didn't go off. (I think, when I reset the clocks Saturday morning, I forgot to set the alarm back!) Oh well, have a cat or two who act as alarm clocks, anyway.
Juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go as well.
We are starting off with 80 degrees this morning. Going to be a 2 H day around here: hot and humid. Summer officially starts in about 25 minutes. We here in the USA are to have 15 hours of sunlight today. Happy summer to all.
No storms or rain overnight for us. But, it looks like some are heading our way, from the west, so we'll probably be getting hit later.
Everyone have a good day, and take care. Will be in the kitchen, getting lunch/supper going in the Crock Pots: pork chop abracadbra. If anyone has any particular veggies you'd like to have with the pork chops, just let me know, all right?
Good morning from Carolina. 72 and sunny today, expected to get into the 90s and thunder later. Yesterday's storm didn't show up, although a friend heard distant thunder. It is a fact of life here that summer equals thunderstorms practically every day. For someone like me, who has all manner of radio antannas up there, it can be a real test..
Happy first day of summer to all.
Thanks for breakfast Paula, and everyone have a great day.

good morning
yes summer is here.Matt and Mom went to the grocery store.I have already mowed and trimmed the swamp.Weather guessers say rain is on the way.I need to go to town and get gas for the mower and a couple other errands.When Mom gets back we are going to the station for lunch.It's back to work tonight for me.
The weather guessers must think that Mookie's rain is headed this way- we're under ANOTHER Flash Flood Watch. Reminds me of the movie "Ground Hog Day"...
Hot here. Currently 87, but it's supposed to approach 100 Wednesday. Then, again, I'm still in MD...
The little one is doing well - still sorting out her schedule, but things are settling down.
Gotta go out later and refill the two-year-old's wading pool. She mananged to figure out how to do belly flops all by her self. Requires frequent topping-off of the pool, and there's definitely a "splash section" in the "spectator's gallery."
We just hit 90 degrees here in Louisville. I think the weather guessers are predicting a high in the mid to upper 90s for us for today.
For our lunch, there are cold cuts w/lettuce, tomato, cheese and onion (if anyone wants onion on their sandwich/hoagie/sub). Letting you all fix your own today.
For supper tonight, I'm going to grill (on the George Foreman grill) breakfast pork chops, and we'll have baked taters, broccoli w/butter sauce and corn.
Everyone have a good afternoon, be sure to stay cool and hydrated and take care.
Tree - are you willing to divulge a name for lady baby? Or Baby Tree will do.
Brian - good luck. Very strange weather pattern.
Weather a bit unusual here this morning. Overnight, just a trace in gauge....5 mi. away, into Muncie center, up to 2".
Here, off and on rain since then....and it looks like about a half inch in the gauge....Didn't go right up to it for close check. Mod. humid temps. Right now, just overcast and muggy.
Afternoon all.
Today I had Vacation Bible School (VBS). I was made the official photographer of the event, which lasts all week, and I’m excited to be a part of glorifying the Lord our God to the younger children of our community.
It sure is humid today. Storms came through this morning about 7:45am, knocking out power to our house for about 30 seconds. There is also a medium sized limb that ended up falling into our yard. That will have to be cleaned up later I suppose...
Have a good evening all!

Mookie, you'd better sit down for this. A restaurant near here called Golden Corral has moved to the far side of town into bigger quarters. We visited them for the 1st time over the weekend. They have all sorts of new stuff, including a CHOCOLATE FUDGE FOUNTAIN. The thing stands about 2 feet high, and flows continuously on all sides from top to bottom with hot fudge. You just walk up to it and stick a big spoon or cup into the stream and get as much as you want. I think I shall return to this place!
I am beginning to wonder if CSX has a problem on the A Line. There has been no radio traffic of any kind since I turned the monitor on around 6PM
Mookie:
Better get out the really big & tough net. Lurch will be dragging an old Jeep eastward to the mothership, then going back west of Tinshoes and east of Willy.
(just discovered how bad Iowa's NGS/USGS control monumentation can be. Go much north of US-30 and the UP/CNW transcon and its like the government geodecists/mappers gave up. Whole quad sheets without monumentation...gonna be a rough week for mudchickens doing serious GPS) Ever been to Paton, IA?

Amen brother !!!!!!
Happy Birthday Joe . May you have many more, and a great day today
Good Tuesday morning, and Happy Birthday, Joe!!!! I hope it is a very good day for you, and may all your birthday wishes come true!!
pancakes, syrup, blueberry muffins, along with the bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, eggs, etc.
The birthday cake is almost ready to take out of the oven, and it will be iced and decorated by lunch time. (And yes, Mookie, Joe asked for a chocolate cake. )
Not sure what our temp is right now, but north of us, in Indiana, they have a severe weather watch out, for severe thunderstorms (should be expiring right about now), kind of doubt that we'll see any rain from it, though.
Everyone have a good morning, and take care.
