Tree - had to smile at the trash collection day. We are 2 days of the week - M and R and the neighbors across the street are T-Sa. Wed is the only day I am sure of - it is quiet at 7am.
I want a ride to the North Pole. Can you arrange one?

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Mookie, hope you enjoyed your b-day yesterday to the fullest!
Partly cloudy skies here in Louisville this morning, with a temp of 14 degrees. Supposed to get up into the upperr 20s. Our official high yesterday was 30 degrees.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, etc. are fresh and on the serving station. Regular breakfast menu is also ready.
Does anyone have an idea for me for our meals after breakfast for today? If so, please let me know.
Have a good morning, and I'll be popping back in in a little bit.
MookieI want a ride to the North Pole. Can you arrange one?
I might be able to pull that off, even though the trips are all sold out.
You'd have to get to Utica first, though...

Since no one had any suggestions for the remaining meals, here's what is on the serving station:
1. Vegetable beef soup w/cornbread and grilled cheese sandwiches
2. Potato soup
3. Cream of broccoli soup
Went to the P.O. this afternoon, got two books of stamps; wasn't quite enough. Gonna have to go back tomorrow and pick up another book of stamps, to get the rest of the cards out.
Good Thursday morning everyone. Fair skies and 18 degrees here in Louisville, KY this morning. Today's high is projected to make it to 38 degrees. Hmm, can anyone say "Heat Wave"?
Coffee, juice, hot cider, hot chocolate, etc. are fresh and ready to go.
Regular breakfast menu items are on the serving station, which has been cleared and cleaned up from last night. (Soups have all been thrown out.)
Everyone have a good morning, keep warm and take care.
8 degrees this morning at the bus for matthew.going to get a nap.chores and errands this afternoon.Cw thanks for breakfast.

Saw 11 degrees on the instrument earlier this morning. Paper indicated it could go to 32 today.....If it does, that will be a first for a while. Mostly sunny since the sun came up, and it's still doing so.
Streets are dry, but the 2" or so on the grassy areas continues. I note we're seeing the earliest the sun will set for this time in the season now. About the 15th, the sunset time will tick up one minute. Then we'll be on our way to see later sunsets until the first day of Summer. Brrr....that's a way off yet.

Been another busy afternoon. Made it back to the P.O. for another book of stamps. Took the Christmas cards w/me, and put the stamps on them, there at the P>O> and then mailed them. Went across the street to Kroger and got more wrapping paper.
For supper tonight: Sloppy Joes, tossed salad and fries.
Everyone have a good evening, take care and see you all tomorrow.
Well, it's finally official, After putting things off for a month or more, I go into the hospital for outpatient surgery on Monday. It will be a great relief to be shut of the pain and discomfort that I have endured for the last 6 weeks or more. I have been thru this stuff before, and this is probably the most prolonged event of all.
Another cold night here, around 20 or so, with a small warmup on Saturday.
Everyone have a great evening.

edblysard Ya know, what happens in Utica, stays in Utica....
You better believe it....
Snow, in New York? Depends on where you are. My daughter (Syracuse area) has two feet of the stuff on her deck. Here in Utica, as well as at my house up north, it's measured in low single digits. I shovelled about two inches of snow off our platform at the Utica station today.
On the other hand, the eastbound "Lake Shore" usually arrives in Utica with a full complement of snow imported from Buffalo, Syracuse, and the like.
Might want to bundle up, though. The Old Forge area is reporting sub-zero temperatures already....

Tree - Cool! That's the ride I will wait for....
Good Friday morning everyone. Tom, our thoughts and prayers will be with you, especially come Monday morning. Take care, will ya?
Larry,congratulations on receiving your student engineer card!
Currently we have 40 degrees this morning, going for a high between 45 and 50 for today. But rain for tomorrow, and snow for Sunday. Prediction so far is 1 to 4 inches by Monday, with a few flurries left over. Guess we'll see what we end up with. And most of that will probably be to our north.
On the serving station this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, toast, bagels and bear claws. (My breakfast will be a bowl of cereal.)
Everyone have a good morning, keep safe, take care and I'll see you all later.
....Yipee....We're above 32 degrees, and sunshine. Received a trace / dusting overnight, but it will go away today.
busy day.I took Matt to school so I could help with the schools Santa shop.I was also able to eat lunch with Matt.School lunches have come a long way.Thanks to those who have sent us Christmas cards.It's nice to have our mailboxes back again.Tom good luck on Monday.Going to watch a movie with Matt and Momma and just relax tonight.Mother nature is getting ready to send us a mess.
Spent most of the day getting pre-opped and registered. The procedure will likely take under an hour, and everything leading up to it killed an entire afternoon. Go figure
Evening all. Been a busy, busy afternoon. Just now getting back on the computer, since this morning.
Have some turkey, ham, roast beef and Italian sub sandwiches on the serving station.
Tom, when I had my knee surgery, some of that pre-op stuff I had to go to the medical building, but for the pre-registration, they called me and took all my info that way. Much better IMHO, and less time consuming!
I think our rain is supposed to start sometime after midnight, and then probably after midnight tomorrow night, is when the rain will switch to snow. Still calling for 1 to 3 inches for us; just north and northeast of us, will likely see 1 to 4 inches.
Everyone have a good evening, take care and see you all in the morning.
morning
Breakfast is ready.Juice and coffee are ready.Daytime will be okay.Tonight rain will start then change to snow.We will also have wind.Mom is going to the store this morning.Matt and I will look for some trains today but stay here in Defiance.Will be interesting for church and Sunday school for sure.Will be back for pizza later.
Good Saturday morning everyone. Joe, thanks for fixing breakfast this morning, and getting the coffee and rest of morning beverages ready!
We currently have 39 degrees (was 38 when I awoke at 5:20), rain not supposed to be in until around 2 p.m. They're (meteorologists) are still calling for 1 to 3 inches of snow for us between tomorrow and Monday morning.
Everyone have a very good day, and I'll see you all back here this evening for our pizza fest. Take care.
Morning, and peace be wth you. 38 and beginning to rain in Carolina as I write this. It is only supposed to make it up to 44 today, so it is a good day for sleeping. So, with that as the plan of the day, sweet dreams everybody.
Good morning! Joe, thanks for fixing breakfast for the rest of us.
I got out of bed within the last half hour and we have received our first major snow storm here, we were told that we would get anywhere between 1 and 4 inches of snow out of it, but with the way the wind is blowing it around, it's hard to tell how much we've gotten so far. I am guessing 2 inches. And it is COLD here, 10 degrees with a wind chill factor of -5.
This is one of them days where a guy like me isn't wanting to go anywhere, but stay home and catch up on some reading and maybe watching some RR DVD's.
....Sunshine earlier this morning. Overcast now. Temp. now, above freezing and the last of our snow is leaving.
But....I hear talk of one to two inches overnight, and maybe some snow activity tomorrow....and....much colder. Believe it said 9 degrees for tomorrow morning. That will be quite a change...Again.
Good Morning Everyone.
Currently 72 and sunny here in Alamo City. We are very dry however, and could stand to have some rain...unfortunately thats not in the forcast for the next week or so. Happens every time we are in a La Ninja weather pattern. All the storms pass to the north of us.
I've been listening to WCCO radio on the internet. It is sure a mess up in the Twin Cities.
Be careful if you have to venture out in the cold and snow.
Enjoy your Saturday.
afternoon
well Matt and I wandered over to indiana after looking at NS in Bryan and Montpelier.Saw amtrak 49(lake shore limited) roll west through Butler Indiana about 1030.(3 1/2 hrs late).Went down To garrett and saw q 324 switch and a very long q 500 come into garrett yard.On the way home we saw a train that had to set out some bad cars in the Sherwood siding.Also a track inspector wanted to look at the track he was sitting on.Ready for some pizza anytime.
Minnesota and Iowa have been hit hard with this regional snow storm as well. I have heard that the plows are not moving at all in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area where my brother Bill lives. Meanwhile, I-29 between Sioux Falls and the Iowa state border has been shut down entirely, and in both directions.
