Good morning! I am up early this morning, so I have decided to take charge of serving breakfast. On the menu for this morning we have:
french toast, pancakes, waffles scrambled eggs, ham & cheese omlets, coffee and orange juice, and also an asortment of donuts and rolls from our local bakery.
We have 51 degrees where I am, with a 30% chance of rain. The rain itself will probably not materialize, but then you never know.

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").
I have on my unofficial records here in our home office, the first snow fall last season: Dec. 7th...Hope we can at least meet that record this year. Right now, it's mild....Was just outside with our pup, with shorts and short sleeve shirt....But who knows......
Quentin
I saw a rather good Tiger fight that took place in Auburn, Alabama, this afternoon.
We are almost to the end of mild weather here. Snow is expected in the mountians this weekend, and we may have some flurries in the valley Monday.

And here is one from Case/IH:

Mookie $465,688 and change - brand new. Bet a lot of used ones are sold, but still, not cheap!

Wow....at that price, they should have a built in "fire system"....! I knew, without a doubt, they would be expensive.....Just didn't know how expensive.
Here's a combine from John Deere:

Quentin, you're probably very, very close to the price, if not way below what their actual cost would be.
Walt and I have both been out and about this afternoon. Very overcast/cloudy. And the air is stinky: from the field fires down at Ft. Knox. The winds are blowing the smoke and smell up our way.

Mookie And on the subject of corn harvest - I have the medical & rural scanner on my puter. Have heard 3 cases in the last couple of days of combine fires. Of course, these are clear out in a corn field, miles from most small towns and have to wait for the vol fd to get there.

Under such dry conditions and isolated large fields under threat as well as expensive machinery.....perhaps it might {potentially}, be cost effective to have a pickup truck with a water tank and pump /hose, following the combine under such conditions.
I'm sure those farmers could rig such a vehicle to do that job.....
What does a combine cost......$200,000...??
I get itchy just listening to them. The combine is burning and they have to come from the other side of the moon, try to figure out how to get into the field, coordinate everyone and by then, I am having a heart attack trying to help from here. Yesterday someone lost the whole combine, but the corn was all picked. Bittersweet!
spokyone Driving around the county yesterday, I saw only one farmer that had not completed his corn harvest. And right now we have some rain for the first time in 20 days. Speaking of car radios, I once owned a 55 Olds 88 four door hardtop with a "Wonder Bar" radio. I replaced the rear speaker with a twenty dollar one. It could be turned up louder than those little Honda Civics that the kids around here use. As I recall, I kept a spare OZ4 and a vibrator in the glove box. Anyone remember replacing those tubes?

My 1957 Corvette had the "wonder bar" tuning radio in it. Of course, it was AM.
Good Saturday morning everyone. 51 degrees here in Louisville this morning, a bit on the cool side outside, when I stepped out to get the morning paper. Going for a high of 80 today.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go, like Larry's and Tom's hot tea.
On the warmer/serving station this morning:
Country fried ham, fried taters, cereal, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, buttermilk biscuits, fresh fruit, grits, toast. Should have a pretty good selection to chose from, for our Saturday Brunch.
We have the folks from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition back in town, doing another home for a lucky family in need. This is the second time they have been here in Louisville. Three years ago, they were here to build a handicap accessible home for a young man who has always been a favorite on the WHAS 11 Crusade for Children.
Everyone enjoy your day, be safe taking care of whatever errands you have today, or working, and we'll see you back in here this evening for our pizza fest.
We saw a big blue on a stack train in Deshler today.Q242,500 and 149 surrounded the railpark with trains today.A company also decided to have a managers meeting in deshler as well.I told them the next time they have a meeting let us know and we would give them a tour.I came home and picked up Matt to watch the y101 at FC.The wanted to switch the maw and sashay over to track 2 and switch omni.The dispatcher had other ideas.Cw thanks for supper.Going to go check through the mail.
1. Jen, glad to hear you're doing better!
2. Justin, good to see you in here!
3. Quentin, glad Jean is improving, and bruise on ankle is looking better!
Went to the grocery this afternoon (that's why no Friday Fish lunch menu). Came home and did my back exercises (most of them anyway, before I got sleepy, and decided to take a nap). Now, here it is supper time. So, here is our Friday Fish menu:
Fish: Cod and perch, filets w/fries, cole slaw, hush puppies
Desserts: chocolate cake, yellow cake w/caramel icing, pecan pie, and apple, blueberry, cherry, and peach cobblers w/your choice of ice cream from the freezer.
Everyone have a good evening, and see you all in the morning.
Mookie CW - leg is getting better. Been doing stretching exercises and can now walk reasonably well w/o crutches.

Jen, we sympathize with leg problems....Monday a week ago, Jean had a strange accident with her bicycle....Trying to negotiate a slight rise to a walking path, she somehow let the bike fall over and pinned her leg under it and she somehow on the other side of the bike. The underside of the bike was pressing down on her leg, with the end of the petal {right above the ankle}, and she was not able to get up...
Fortunately, right away several cars stopped and provided help....Even brought her to our home a short distance away, and went back and brought the bike home for us.
Xray, showed no broken bones, but a massive puncture spot from the petal end, and producing much black & blue....Looked very bad for several days. Still in the healing stage, but looking better each day.
Hope your situation is doing the same.
This has been our coldest morning this season....36 degrees earlier. But sunshine is pouring down via clear skies, and it's to warm to about 66 this afternoon. A bit warmer next several days & possible {yea}, showers.....Really dry here....for 2 months plus now.
But today sometime, believe I'll make a pass over the yard and mow / mulch leaves, from the wind action here yesterday....
But next, to the church to install envelopes in pews...and then, meet friends at Ruby Tuesdays for lunch.
Good morning all!
I’ll take some coffee and a glazed doughnut. Looks to be a good day with a high of about 66*. The football team is headed to North Central in southern Indiana for the first round of sectionals. GO BIG BLUE! And this time I don’t mean Conrail.
Have a good day all!

Good morning. 57 degrees and clear in Carolina this lovely day. I spent most of yesterday evening filling out QSL (confirmation) cards and getting them ready to send out throughout the world. There seem so be a right smart that have to go direct, at 98 Cents a clip airmail, and then return postage on top of that. The rest will go bulk via the bureau system. Small wonder I only do this once or twice a year! I still have to sort them and that takes longer than filling them out! A ways to go yet...
Paula, thanks for breakfast, and I will take the punkin pie if no one wlse wants it.
Q, I don't have any data to back this up, but I believe that the general collapse of stand alone AM broadcast radio in the 80s and the shift to mostly FM slowed or stopped the AM stereo fad. I haven't heard it mentioned in over 20 years now.
Everyone take care and have a great weekend

Joe! You know a foreign word for Snow! It is always nice to know another language.....
CW - leg is getting better. Been doing stretching exercises and can now walk reasonably well w/o crutches. I read some items on this particular injury and they said to rest it for 3 days. And the 4th day, you will be healed!!!!! Well, I took a day longer and still have some twinges, but doing so much better. Ice packs are a wonderful invention!
Good Frosty Friday Morning
going to get matt on the bus.Cw thanks for breakfast.I am eastbound and down for the corn city.This is our canadian friends last trip down before the $%#@ flies.

Good Friday morning everyone. Starting out with a temp of 44 degrees here in Louisville (city). The cool spots are Cincinnati at 32 degrees, and Seymour, IN at 33 degrees. Supposed to get up into the low 70s for a high today.
Mookie, punkin' pie?! I don't recall that being on the menu yesterday. (lol)
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Mookie, here's your mug. How is the leg doing? Getting better, I hope!
On the warmer/serving station this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, bagels, bear claws, made from scratch buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy and home fries or tater tots or hash browns, whichever you might want.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and I'll see you all later.
spokyone My 1987 Dodge Dakota had an AM stereo radio. Spokane WA had one station. The sound was just as good as the FM, maybe just a bit more stereo effect.

Yes, I agree....the sound was good with it, and good stereo. I remember one experience I had with it: I was parked in a lot at a grocery here in Muncie {in daytime}, and I picked up WSM Am Stereo in Nashville, Tenn...That really surprised me as it is perhaps by the way of the crow flying.....Guessing 300 mi plus, as it is 340 or so driving.
One draw back would have been electrical storms interfering.
will stay with the left over meatloaf. Think I will pass on punkin' pi.....
Well, looks like no one has given me any meal requests for this afternoon/tonight, so here is what I've come up with:
1. Leftover meat loaf, mashed taters, gravy, etc., from last night
2. Broiled Angus sirloin steaks w/with the side from #1, or you can have a baked tater & garden salad with your steak.
Have any of you ever heard of RTV? I get it on the little TV in our bedroom, cause that is the only TV not hooked up to satellite. We have the little digital converter box connected to that TV. Anyway, I've been watching RTV on that little set. Been watching some episodes of Airwolf, I Spy, The Rockford Files, Hawaii Five-O, Kojak. McHale's Navy. Some good ole tv shows!
We had a Stewart-Warner table top radio which not only covered the domestic broadcast band, but also several short wave bands--and it had a magic eye. I do not know just when it was made, but it was some time in the thirties.
In the early fifties, I built my own superheterodyne radio, using many surplus military parts. Among other features was a magic eye. I used 6.3 volt tubes (5.0 volts for the rectifier, though I sometimes put an ozone rectifier in). One of my custom-made features was a small speaker (in addition to the one in the cabinet) that I put under my pillow; I would go to sleep listening to WWL in New Orleans and wake to a station in Kannapolis, N. C. (about sixty miles away). I never understood how I was able to do it, but I was able to hear WWV on its 2.5 meg spot--without any band change! As I recall, I had a microphone jack--think of the feedback!
Car radios--my experience with them was mainly limited to repairing other peoples'; I almost had to be a contortionist to get some out and back in.
Afternoon all.
School is almost out for Fall Break! Another 4 days and we will be free! Dad said that he would take me rail fanning next Thursday.
We got a new washer last night. It’s a Maytag. They are delivering it tonight sometime tonight.
