.....We're high and dry here Joe...My part of the Muncie area is not subjected to high water unless it's of 40 days and 40 nights kind.
We can handle lots of rain as we've been on the minus figure here since before August.
Quentin

ps matt is doing great according to his teacher
Well today, is when holiday traffic starts into the crescendo with millions of citizens traveling back to {fill in the blank}....Hope the weather cooperates, and does not act up too bad and making moving about more dangerous. We wish safety to all traveling.
We have no plans to travel any distance over this holiday, but have done so in the past on many occasions. One occasion, I remember on our way back to Pennsylvania, traveling east on I-70 was a massive back up at the Laurel Hill Tunnel on the Pennsy Turnpike...Luckily, we heard over the CB radio near Donegal, Pa., that traffic was backed up from the western entry of the Laurel Hill tunnel for miles and miles...We got the message just in time to exit at the Donegal exit, and that allowed us to continue towards home via parallel state highway rt. 31. Had we not received that message, we'd have been delayed on the Turnpike for hours and hours trying to get to our normal exit, Somerset 20 some miles ahead.
That restrictive 2 lane tunnel, one lane each direction....{has been by passed years ago}, and that bottleneck does not exist anymore.
Here....at sunrise this morning, the sky was red.....and since then has turned to overcast...."red skies in morning, sailors, take warning", I don't know if that will apply to today or not. It's dry, and the temp when I first looked this morning, was 29 degrees. Doubt if we have any major weather problems in this area today.
Back east....I remember several serious snow storms starting on Thanksgiving Day, that resulted in several feet of the stuff.
morning
matt has parent/teacer conference.was at work last night found out ns has a mess in wauseon ohio.20 stack cars derailed.the former nyc main is currently a parking lot for trains now.going to see from afar after the conference.beautiful sunrise this morning.everyone have a happy thanksgiving.
Thanks for the email CW. I will try to pop in here a bit more from time to time.
Cold, frost, and flurries are the order of the day...along with preps for the holiday season. Had a friend "stumble" into a nasty nest of acronyms on Sunday: TSA, FBI, DCSD, CNRRPD...looked scary but turned out ok for him. Back to lurking for a while...

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Very chilly 34 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Cant' remember what the predicted high is for today, but doubt it'll be too far into the 50s. More rain coming in for this afternoon/tonight. We may even see some snow flurries(?) tomorrow and Friday.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Regular breakfast menu selections are on the serving station.
Not too sure you all will see much of me in here the rest of the day. I'll be in the kitchen (here at home), starting the cooking for tomorrow. Will be concentrating on the side dishes today, and will put the turkey bird in the oven in the morning.
For those of you who will be leaving today for your Thanksgiving travel destinations, please be safe, and we'll see you when you get back.
Well, I think I'm recovered from the weekend - it was busy, to be sure.
Next time on the rails if for our Elf Trains on Black Friday - should be interesting as my crew isn't exactly well-seasoned and we'll have a ton of people on the two trips. It's a benefit, with kids riding free and adults riding for just $5, so a lot of folks will be on board for both trips.
The worst part will be night ops - something we don't do a lot of in the first place, so safety will be at the top of our list (not that it isn't usually, but you have to be just that much more careful in the dark).
Cheeseburger sounds good, then it's off to a meeting.

Produce and Bread truck both arrived this morning (not at the same time, though), and made it back home. Rain had already moved out, but with a very good breeze out, we decided to have the Produce taken inside when it came. And that's what we did. Waited in the nice warm gym afterwards, for the Bread Truck to come.
Here is the menu for this afternoon and evening:
1. Tacos, burritos, Spanish rice, chimichangas, enchiladas.
2. Hamburgers, cheeseburgers w/fries and tossed salad.
I thought maybe everyone wouldn't want our usual large meals, saving room for Turkey Day and all the trimmings.
Current temp is in the mid 50s, with plenty of sunshine, and very breezy conditions out. Everyone enjoy your afternoon and evening, take care, and I'll hopefully see you all either later this evening, or at least in the morning.
afternoon
matt should be getting home soon from school.need to run errands in town.Tonight is Ohio St/team from up north night at work.Cw thanks for supper.
Hello from Carolina, home of the Thunderchickens of USC.... 71 and partly cloudy and nice outside. I spent the morning at the dentist's getting a filling replaced and wound up having a cavity drilled into my wallet!!
Thinking about getting a golf cart if one is affordable. Need the mobility
Take care

Good morning all!
What a fine morning it is here in western Indiana. We got one heck of a storm last night that dumped rain all across the region. I hope that the burn ban will be lifted soon.
Have a good day all!
This is a strong La Nina year, so we are going to have a bad winter out here on the coast. They should have had the Winter Olympics in Vancouver this year!
We are in the midst of an "Arctic outflow", and it is -10C (14F) this morning. Yesterday we had snow, and a high of -4C (25F). More snow on Thursday, and then our rain should be back.
I need a lot of coffee this morning!
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Rainy, with a temp of 62 degrees this morning, will drop down a little bit, so our official "high" today, around 4 p.m., will be in the mid 50s. The rain is supposed to be out of here by mid to late morning. So far, the official total is 1/4" of rain.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Everything from yesterday has been cleared from the serving station, and it has been cleaned, and is reset for breakfast.
Well, we had another field fire here in the Metro area yesterday afternoon. Even with the little bit of rain we've gotten this past week, trees, grass, weeds are still extremely dry. And it was quite breezy/windy yesterday afternoon and evening.
Everyone have a good morning, and I'll see you all sometime later, after I get through with Produce and the Bread Truck.
Quentin, I, too, remember the day well. I was in the IC station in Wesson, Mississippi, sitting on the agent's window desk and talking with the agent and and another man who frequented the station.
I also remember the day that Jack Ruby shot Lee Oswald. I was in Monticello, Miss., and ate lunch at the home of one of the members of the church there. Her husband was unable to go out because he had had a stroke, and when we arrived at the house, he told us of what he had seen on television just a little while before.
I was in typing class. We had students crying and literally staggering around, and they let us come home early. My sis in law's birthday too, and one she will remember always.
good soaking rains here in nw ohio.we'll take what we can get.busy season at work so I'll just be coming in from time to time.Matt gets out early tomorrow then hes off the rest of the week for Thanksgiving.Time to go to town and get our mail.

Good morning from South Carolina, home of the USC Gamecocks. Ahem! 48 and clear 20 minutes after sunrise, headed for partly clear and 75.
Paula, I think I would like some Chief Boyardi spaghetti and meatballs if we have any in stock. Just have a taste for them this morning.
My weird way of holding the mouse has resulted in a weird type of carpal tunnel symptoms in the middle and third finger of my right hand. Makes doing practically everything interesting, including typing. We shall have to wait and see how it all works out.
Everyone have a great day and stay safe

Tom, that sounds like an excellent idea. I've opened several cans of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti & Meatballs, added some extra seasonings, and fixed a huge bowl of garden salad to with the sghetti, along with some Italian bread slices that are lightly browned.
Quentin, I remember that day very well. I was in 5th grade classroom, and we were watching our TV Spanish class. Someone came to the classroom door and called our teacher out to the hall. Teacher came back in, and turned the TV to the local station, and we forgot all about Spanish lessons. The rest of the afternoon was spent watching history and the assasination of a President take place. That day, was not a very good day for my Mama: it was her birthday, and she had had to go to the oral surgeon, to have her teeth pulled, to get dentures. Needless to say, it was not a good, or Happy Birthday for her that year.
Checked the turkey thawing process, and the turkeys for Thursday are still pretty well frozen solid (may have to raise the fridge's thermostat a tad, so they will thaw). I'm going to do all my cooking on Wednesday, if I can manage it. Yes, the Cafe will be open Thursday, in case anyone is not going anywhere, they'll have someplace to go.
Temp is about 66 degrees at 11:16 a.m. EST, breezy and partly sunny. Everyone have a good afternoon, and I'll see you all later.
Good morning all.
Happy Turkey Week from the heartland of America! I hope that all your Thanksgiving celebrations are happy and merry.
It is a breezy day here in western Indiana. Temps are in the low to mid 50’s.
Our Ag. Class is selling beef jerky for a fundraiser. If we sell enough, we get to go to a local steak house.

.....47 years ago today...{about noon}, Pres. Kennedy was....assasinated.
This morning....we have warm {for this area}, temps., and some rain this morning. 60's overnight.
Now the travel will pick up for the looming holiday....Hope Amtrak can do their part. No groping there.
Good Monday morning everyone. We are starting out this morning with a temp of 64 degrees, going for a high in the mid to upper 70s. Then rain coming in after midnight.
I hope everyone had a very good Sunday. Sarah and I did go out, and she bought me a couple of early Christmas presents. She had to have me along, because I needed to try them on, to make sure sleeves and upper portion fit (new jacket).
Coffee and other morning beverages are freshly made and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: the usual bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, etc.
Everyone have a good morning, if anyone has any meal requests for today, let me know, please, take care and I'll see you all later.
Well, we received our first good snowfall last night: 12 inches in the front yard; less in the driveway because the residual warmth in the concrete melted some of it. I did not check the depth in the backyard, but when the dog we are sitting came back in, she had snow on her lower body.
We expect more snow a little later in the week.
We're having a beautiful, sunshiny afternoon, w/a good breeze. After a bit, Sarah and I are going to get out and enjoy it. Yes, we're leaving Walt home this time!
Fifedog, will keep you and family in my thoughts and prayers.
Here is the Sunday Dinner menu:
1. Meat loaf w/mashed taters, gravy, green beans, garden salad or cole slaw
2. Creamy Parmasean tuna casserole w/any of the sides in #1
Everyone enjoy, have a great afternoon and take care.
locomutt - Thank you for the warm email. It was greatly appreciated.
Good Sunday morning, everyone. Randy, good to see you in! And you didn't spoil my appetite: I'm actually hungry this morning (maybe because I didn't have my bedtime bowl of cereal last night). I would love to have some venison.
Brian, it's good to see you come by, especially since we rarely see you in here anymore. Thanks for posting your pics in here: you got some very, very good shots there!
51 degrees and partly cloudy here in Louisville this morning. Going for a high in the mid to upper 60s today.
Coffee and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: oatmeal, toast, and omelettes (Denver, southwest, cheese)
Everyone have a good morning, enjoy whatever you'll be doing this morning, and see you all later.
Evening all....
Nice quiet day on the road today, if one can call flying through Washington DC traffic quiet. Left Anheuser Busch last night, scale said 79,800 gross weight, after a trip back to the dock to have product removed, and with full fuel tanks. Should be screaming by Tom's place just after church time tomorrow morning on my way down.
Today must have been the day for moving oversize loads in Pennsylvania, saw no less than six of them in the Scranton area, one even had a pusher truck behind helping him up the grades. Wish I could have grabbed a shot, but was a little busy driving.....
As for deer, lot of hunters already getting their deer, but there is not much left of one when you hit it at 65mph with a vehicle.....
Now that I've ruined everybody's appetite, will take pizza, then to the sleeper to battle a cold.....
