Meteorological prognosticators indicating precipitation for us later tonight. By the looks of the radar, they're right on the mark. It's been a good run weatherwise, though, and this coming weekend actually looks decent as well.
Got the mulch on the bulb garden out front, so that's ready for winter.
Next big outdoor projects are getting the snowblower out and putting the mower away, and Christmas decorations - which can wait until after Turkey Day.

They are talking rain/snow mix for overnite. Ugh!
Driver thought I was nuts because I have been cold all day. So I stuck my nose in his hand. Cold & Wet! Must be very, very healthy!

Produce went well this morning. We had a total of 65 people for Produce. Not quite as many for the Bread Truck. I managed to get a bag of sliced Italian bread, a box of 100% whole wheat bagels and a box of doughnut holes. In the way of produce, I brought home a couple of purple onions, 5 bananas, & 1 sweet red pepper.
The rain started right around 9 a.m., and still coming down, moderately heavy at times, otherwise a steady rain. We had Produce inside the gym.
Instead of our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta today, I decided on the following:
1. Tomato basil soup w/grilled cheese or PB&J sandwiches and garden salad
2. Cream of broccoli soup (with above mentioned sandwiches)
3. Beef stew w/baked cornbread
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep as dry and warm as possible and take care. See you all later.
......Overcast and quite cool and fog, started our day here. Dry still, but a possibility of some rain later.
Successfully accomplished my yard mowing / leaf mulching yesterday. John Deere and I had a good run at the final clean up of the yard for this season. Most leaves {here}, are down off the trees now.
Actually, overlapped enough to equal at least 2 or more mowings....
So this year I actually got away without bagging one bag of leaves...! All accomplished with doing the mowing / mulching bit each week for a couple of weeks, and it seems we were rather successful, and looks good. Now need rain / snow {oh no...}, for moisture next Spring for it to fully recover from our Aug. to current, draught.
Believe I remember seeing 35 on the instrument earlier this morning.
Did remember to put new batteries in the outdoor temp sending unit, so I'm good thru the Winter season.
Removed the shells from 2 doz. hard boiled eggs this morning to be "pickled" and taken to Church as a contribution to the big Thanksgiving meal Wednesday evening. Church supplies Turkey and all it's peripherals and each family brings "other" sides to the meal....it's always really great. Best noodles I've eaten anywhere...!

Greetings humans! Take me to your ladder.... 61 and partly cloudy in Carolina with 70 and rain promised for later. Not a whole lot to report, so thanks for breakfast and everyone have a great day.

Good Tuesday morning everyone. Running a tad on the late side this morning. Not due to me oversleeping, but due to ISP being messed up this morning. Kept getting "Page Cannot Be Displayed" messages, on any and all browsers. Sarah got it back working. Thank you Sarah!!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Ceral, bacon, sausage, bagels, bear claws, and other breakfast menu faves are on the serving station. See you all sometime later this afternoon, and you all take care.
Modelcar There certainly was a lot of hupla / attention /excitement, etc.....around wherever Elvis was. In my opinion, he really, honestly, put his all into his music.....and his performances showed it...!

I never saw many of his movies; I did not see much of one that I went to because I kept going to sleep (I had gotten up early that morning to catch a bus in Johnson City to be back in Bristol by work time). My then fianceé (who, with her family, was visiting her grandmother in Johnson City) decided that there was no use staying for the whole movie, so we left. No, we did not marry.
I was able to get most of the leaves that have fallen in the backyard chopped up this afternoon; I think the maple has lost only about half of its crop.

South Carolina's Alvin Green, who came out of nowhere to win the democratic primary for U S Senate is at it again. Mr Green who is unemployed and who has a general discharge from the army, and who is under indictment on felony obscenity charges, was ridiculed and disowned by his own party before being thoroughly whomped by the incumbent in the general election, is reportedly considering taking on Obama for the presidential election in 2012. He has apparently learned very little over the past few months. He had no campaign, fundraising was less than $5,000 and he howled like a hound dog at TV reporters who tried to interview him. He could go places in DC.
Mookie I was an Elvis fan along with Annette and Frankie and was at the right age (Annette is a year older) to enjoy all the songs & movies, It really was a good time to be a teenager!

And Jen, I too thought Annette was a gal with it all back then.....And she certainly had a terrible downturn later in life....I assume she is still living, but know not what kind of health condition she might be living with now.
When I was doing automotive test work out in Az., Jean visited me several times and we managed to get tickets for an Elvis performance up in Vegas, at the {then} International Hotel. {1970}...
It included dinner and a record package {which I still have}, and a great, all out, wild performance. It seemed he performed for about 2 hrs. without hardly a break. And we really enjoyed it. A great stage full of orchestra and backup singers.....Most of which we saw checking in earlier that afternoon.
And....10-4 Tom, on the Sgt. Bliko programs....
Quentin, you are on target. When Elvis entered the service, the guys who wrote YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH wrote in a character named Elvin Pelvin. We never saw Elvin, but he was assigned to Bilko's platoon, and on his arrival, the females caused such an uproar that the army lost three men and a tank just getting him onto Fort Baxter. Col Hall promptly transferred him, relieving Bilko of his dreams of riches. Never have forgotten that show!
You got it right on round 1, Mookie: Love Me Tender was Elvis' first movie. And Tom, your question: he was Joe Flynn's second in command, right? Played by Bob Hughes. In about 20 minutes, McHale's Navy will be locally on Retro TV on Channel 21.4 here in Louisville Metro area.
For lunch today, I've sliced some of the turkey from yesterday, and we have turkey open face sandwiches w/mashed taters and turkey gravy, green beans, fresh hot from the oven biscuits and dinner rolls (you get a choice of your bread).
Dessert: Yellow cake w/chocolate icing or chocolate cake w/white icing.
Our thermostat is set on 78 degrees, and I'm still feeling chilly here in the house. Need to put on a jacket and go out and collect our recycling bins from the curb.
Wishing everyone a good afternoon, take care all of you, and see you all later.
Tom.....I did not remember that name, but I see he {the name}, was associated with the former {50's}, Sgt. Bilko program.
Our morning here is mostly sunny with some high thin clouds. Rather a cool morning, but to "warm" a bit by this afternoon, and as soon as it does, the John deere and I will attack leaves. {and grass}.
blownout cylinderI spent most of my afternoon yesterday trying to find a simple screwdriver--it was not where I thought it would be--in a toolbox--but I did find it--in a drawer by the bed Why I put it there I will never know
The rain came through after dark, and we just missed a frost by about 0.1 degrees this morning. The paper says Indian Summer is about to end, though. We'll just have to be thankful that we've gotten as much as a reprieve as we have.
On to the day's activities!
Good morning. 39 in Carolina and suspected to get warmer later. For the past coupla days, I have been pain free, so think I will cancel the tests unless it comes back.
Here's one for you auld timers. Does anyone remember Elvin Pelvin from the late 50s?
For now.... Everyone take care
Good Morning.
We woke up to frost again--not as much as a few days ago but enough to say--"Hi! How are you? I'm Frost and I'm going to stick arond ntil my friend s**w shows up"
Audrey saw that one too--she thinks that has to be his first one--me--never watched any of his things--I was more of an Annette Funicello guy---

Anyways--I'm going to get a few things done today that needed done ---yesterday--have a good one people!

CW - Elvis - I think my girlfriend and I went to it - "Love Me Tender"? Think we sighed thru the whole movie and cried at the end! It really was sad!
Joe - 2 blankets here. I won't warm up until next June. Glad to here you will be working steadily. I know this is always a concern.
Movin' mah coffee to the hammock. It is Monday after all.....
morning
cw I have a couple blankets if you want to sit in the rockers later this afternoon.thanks for breakfast.bedtime now.Things have really picked up and will be working some ot now through the rest of the year.

Good Monday morning, everyone. Mostly cloudy and 33 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Think we'll top out somewhere in the 50s again today. Then, later tonight, rain is due to come in, and it looks like it is going to a cold rain. Real nice for Tuesday Produce in the morning! (not)
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs or fried eggs, whichever you'd prefer, hashbrowns.
I heard an interesting "Coffee Quiz" question just a few minutes ago: What was Elvis Presley's first movie?" Yes, I know the answer, but I won't give it yet. Anyone of you know?
Mookie, here's a cup of coffee for you. I think our sitting in the rockers, out on the patio or in the garden are over, until mid springtime, don't you?
Long day. The two hour drive in each direction didn't help any. At least the weather was nice, although I spotted ice on many puddles alongside the tracks even at mid-afternoon. It won't be long before we can't see the puddles for the snow...
I think a bedtime snack is in order (or some of that turkey, as a sleep aid), and then it's bedtime.
Well, the turkey *** is ready, and there's already another one going for a little bit later. To go with it: mashed taters & turkey gravy, green bean casserole, broccoli w/cheese sauce and corn. Chocolate cake w/vanilla or chocolate ice cream for dessert.
Hope everyone is having an enjoyable day, and wishing you a very good afternoon. Take care, and see you all later.
....It's overcast and dry here this morning. Weather front passed thru yesterday afternoon thru late last night. See it is over on the western edge of Pennsylvania {home base for us}, now.
Noted 41 degrees earlier this morning here. Predicting 50 for today. Southern wind did a number on me yesterday....Leaves from the golf course {south}, and from neighbors big trees {west}, of me.
So....note, tomorrow is to be sunny and up to 57. For me that will mean John deere and I will work on the yard to mulch leaves and what ever grass is sticking up. It will take overlapping passes, but believe I can get it pretty well back in order.
Several days ahead to be sunny, but Thur. they say: possibly some rain & or snow flakes. Sure don't like that 4 letter word. This weather front that passed yesterday sure did dump on the upper Great Lakes area....especially up and including Minnesota. Seen one figure on weather map this morning of 14"...! {Snow of course}.
So....Church next, than Sunday meal, perhaps to Olive Garden again, and then check the 2nd from last Nascar Sprint Cup boys race today.
Wish a good week for all....and Tom, understand, I had forgot you mentioned of the tests first. So best to you in success on the H. visit.
I see we are having text wrapping issues still--- This page is going waaaaaay over to the right again--
I am having a day away from the office as they fumigated it last night and me with my allergies do not get along with what they used--hence I'm on call from home today--I usually finish my on-calls on Monday--heeheehee
Today is starting out at 46F going to a high--so called--of 39F by this afternoon--in southwesterly breezes--this oughta be fun--
Anyhooooooo----have a good one peoples!!
good Sunday morning
Juice coffee and hot chocolate are ready to go.Breakfast warmer bar is filled up too.Step up and help yourselves.Time to get ready for church and then it's off to G+G.Did get some more rain overnight.It will all help out.
Good Sunday morning, everyone. Cool 41 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Streets are still a little bit wet. Going for a high of about 55 today.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy.
Getting ready to start cooking a turkey *** for our Sunday Dinner, so it'll be ready around 1, 2 p.m. EST. We'll have some stuffing with it, along with various vegetables (not actually doing the whole Thanksgiving menu today; that will come in a couple of weeks.)
Everyone enjoy your morning, keep warm and dry, and take care.
Tom, I trust that whatever is bothering you can be taken care of quickly and soon.
We heat with natural gas, $250.00 would carry us for about two or three months in the winter; how many months will your $250.00 carry you?
Steve Spurrier and his Gamecocks did well this evening; Mr. Meyer can again say that his boys are not doing well. I do not know when the Gators have done so poorly.
"Tiger! Tiger! Burning Bright!" Roasting chickens? I'm of the opinion that either Tiger team could go to Atlanta; which one depends upon whether or not the Tide is stemmed, again by Tigers, on 26 November.
Yesterday, when I was baking bread, I thought of something I had not thought of in many years--breadboard circuits; do you remember them?
I'll take some of that Hawaiian, too!
Finished up my RR vest (dress) so I can wear it tomorrow. Actually I just remembered that I still have a couple of seams to hand stitch, but that can be done later.
Probably ought to head for bed - lots of hungry riders to get to the restaurant tomorrow.
I'm up for some Hawaiian! How has everyone been lately? It's been a little while. Life has been busy on the railroad...
