Good morning and peace be with you. 57 and heavy rain in Carolina. expected to hit 57 so we are there. We are supposed to have a new storm door installed today, but I guess that's out. Looks like a good day for the wireless and/or napping.
Everyone have a great day

Good afternoon all. It looks like it has been very s l o o o w in here this morning.
Walt has picked today's menu. So, you'll see three large Crock Pots/Slow Cookers with the following in them:
1. Beef stew
2. Vegetable beef soup
3. Chili (made it mild, so if anyone wants spicy hot, tabasco sauce, and hot picante sauce and hot salsa are on the counter for you to add to your taste buds)
Everyone have a good afternoon, and see you all later.

good friday morning
Breakfast is up and ready. Juice and coffee and hot chocolate are ready too.Going to get Matt up and ready for school.We will pick him up after school and go wish Grandpa Kohnen a happy birthday tonight.Will see what csx and ns has on our way.
Good Friday morning, and Joe, thanks for taking care of breakfast! It's always nice to come in, and see someone has helped me out around here in some way!
We have had some rain overnight, and the current temp is around 43, 42 degrees here in Louisville. But with the wind chill, it feels like 30 something outside. So far this morning, I haven't seen any snow flurries.
Everyone have a good morning, and I'll see you all later. And Joe, the hot chocolate sounds real good this morning!!
BRRRRRRR.......IT'S COLD HERE!!!! TIME TO BREAK OUT THE HOT CHOCOLATE!!!!!
We have 22 degrees here in Sioux Falls, but at least it is not snowing here.
Mornin all. 42 and clear in paradise with a high suggested at 56. Today is quack day and I have to have me foot checked by the surgeon. Looks to be a nice day weatherwise.
Everyone take care
Thirty-eight and rainy, with snow indicated over Tug Hill. Comes pretty close to what I define as "miserable." All we lack is wind...
Soup is good for this kind of weather. I'll get a couple of crocks going. Maybe some chicken veggie, some tomato (to go along with the grilled cheese sandwiches), and some broccoli and cheddar.

The High in Louisville is "forecast" to be 48 degrees, right now it's 45 with a "wind chill", one of my most unfavorite sayings...................Soup & Broccoli sound real good, you can keep the cheddar though, please.
CW and I were going through the "Farmer's Almanac" earlier; after our extra hot summer, looks like we're in for a cold, nasty winter.
Tom, hope your "Quack" visit goes well.
....Well it sounds like it is pretty nice here compared to some other reports. And since I can get out now, I headed nearby to get a haircut.
Partly sunny, and earlier, I believe it was 37. No precip here overnight, and snow flurries are in the forecast for someplace.....scattered....But then it's 4 or 5 days of sunshine again. Getting up near 60 at times.
Hopefully, I'll be able to finally get the tractor out and mow and mulch in the next day or so.
But I'm certainly not complaining about our weather around here yet this Fall....
Believe I memtioned before, last season, our first evidence of any snow was on Dec. 7th. Be nice if it holds off at least that long this year.
The last Winter season snow fall total was a bit above normal: 32.5".

Not much better south of you, Larry, 41 and rain in Binghamton, no load available yet, so busying myself on the Wi-Fi at the Pilot-turned-Loves truckstop. Was wet coming up yesterday out of Virginia as well, but not too bad to drive in.
Managed to catch a southbound Susquehanna train yesterday, and NS was busy in Eden, NC the day before, will have to see what today brings, hopefully will get a load soon......
See everyone later....

Not sure what our temp. high got to today, but at the 5:00 O'clock newscast they mentioned we had had sleet in our area.
I guess CW will be in after awhile to do the "Friday Fish Fry", but I have to put in my "Two Cents"; I saw in our paper yesterday, in the obit section that one of the founders of the Fire Dept. that I served on in the late 70s and thru the 80s passed away; he was 98. When I was there, and served on the Board of Trustees, he was a member; and one of us would ask him about the early days of the F.D.; his answer was; we ain't having no more D***** Fish Fries!!
Here is our Friday Fish Fry menu, shortened, since it is so late:
Fish sandwiches w/regular or curly fries and your choice of slaw or salad.
Everyone have a good evening, take care and I'll see you all in the morning.
Grilled cheeze sandwich, tomato soup and chocolate milk, please....
(I make a horrible grilled cheese. Don't know where I go wrong. Maybe I don't set the steam iron high enough?)
Driver had 2nd cataract surgery yesterday. Sporting a big shiner today. Wonder if they charge extra for that?
Had to go to eye dr today to get his patch off. I went next door and did some glasses shopping for me. Picked out my own frames, tried them on, approved, did everything but write up the order. Told them I would be back next Fri for eye appt for Driver next door and would pick them up then. Don't call me - I will call on you!
All this because a cute salesfemale got there at the same time I did and the two technicians were having trouble concentrating on the customers. But having done this many times in the past many years, I guided them thru my visit. Sure glad I am not getting bi-focals any more. Probably would have found them planted in the upper part of the lenses.....

When I had my cataract surgery in 2003, I had a "shiner" for about 2 weeks after. (I don't think they charged any extra for, but.........)(both eyes, a week a part.)
Mook, when you use the steam iron for the grilled cheese, you DON'T use the steam/spray setting!!
Had a good time in Celina.RJ corman even ran a train from celina to coldwater and back.it had 2 units in the front and 1 in the back.They parked at their distribution center in celina for the night.Grandpa enjoyed supper and asking matt about his girlfriends at school.going to take a cookie and some milk.chores tomorrow.
Hmm, when Ricki had her cataractsremoved (one at a time), she did not have any evidence of runnoing into a doorknob, as I recall. Was Driver not given a piece of beefsteak to reduce the swelling? I don't know how it will be if mine grow to the point that they need to be removed, since Ricki doesn't drive any more; we will have to work transportation out.
I may have mentioned my experience last January, when I had major surgery--my cataracts made some change in my vision such that I had to go back to an OLD pair of glasses before I could focus on anything across the room (back to bifocals from trifocals, as it was)--be careful what you throw away; you may need it later. We did take seven pair of Ricki's old (pre-cataract surgery) glasses with us when we went to see one of her eye doctors yesterday, and left them there.
We have had mild weather all this week, and we are told to expect a change Sunday--colder, with rain and possible snow.
Our maple in the back yard has at last really been losing chlorophyl from its leaves, and some have fallen. Once many have fallen,and are dry, I will grind them up with the lawn mower and alleviate some of the alkalinity in the soil. The linden is also losing its leaves, but they are few in number, when compared with those of the maple; the same can be said of the kitty-cat willows (which also provide us with firewood as the branches and trunks die).
Tom, may the Gamecocks spur the Razorbacks to death tomorrow. But still, look out for 4 December. Does any other conference have as many of its teams in the AP Top 25?

good saturday morning
cold outside with a high in the 40s today in nw ohio.Breakfast is on the warmer bar.Juice coffee and hot chocolate are ready to go.Have chores and errands to run today.Don't forget to turn the clocks back before you go to bed.Also check your smoke detectors too.
Good Saturday morning everyone. Joe, thanks again for fixing breakfast this morning. I didn't set the alarm last night, and didn't wake up until right at 6:00. Walt was already at the computer.
Mookie, I've always heard about making a grilled cheese sandwich with an iron, but have never done so myself. For the best tasting grilled cheese sandwich, you need a small cast iron skillet, melt a little bit of butter, and put in your sandwich. After it is as brown as you want it, and take it out of the skillet, it will melt in your mouth!
Our current temp this morning is right around 32 degrees (could be down to 31 now, or lower out in the suburbs). Going for a high of right around 50 degrees about 4 p.m. I did hear yesterday evening (around 5 p.m.), that over at Churchill Downs for the Breeder's Cup, they were getting sleet!
Everyone have a good morning, take care wherever you'll be going and doing today, and see you all this evening.
Good morning everyone! Chilly here in Alamo City. Had to click on the heat to get the chill out of the house.
Hope everyone has an outstanding Saturday!
......I will have to mark down some weather activity late yesterday afternoon. Do so at my unoffical weather data here in home office.
To our surprise, late yesterday afternoon we watched several light sessions of sleet....Little tiny balls of sleet.
During some of this....for about a minute or two, I must say we had very light snow flakes. So must put that down as the first of the season.
Now this late morning, as Jean and I headed in town {Center of Muncie about 5 mi east}, and we noted several cars with snow on their roofs. Seems the closer we got to the center of town, the more snow was evident...Car roofs, still some in shaded areas, etc.....
Our's was just very few light snow flakes, but it was snow further east.
Today, it's mostly sunny. Our low this morning about 8 was: 30 degrees. Now, for this new week coming, we see a nice warm bubble all over the plains & west of us.....And we are to have that move in producing sunny skies, and temps as much as 65.
So, hopefully I'll finish up a bit more outside prep. work for Winter during that nice stuff.....And that will be it.
Boy! If you have heart trouble, don't watch the Nebraska Cornhuskers play football!
I am exhausted!
Okay. I'm warmed back up now.
Spent a good part of the day onboard a landing craft (140') with a bunch of firefighters & EMTs practicing and learning how to extricate victims from the bowels of the ship. It was an interesting and informative day and all everyone involved enjoyed this unique experience.
But it could have been warmer.
The exercise did give us a chance for a nice cruise on the St. Lawrence River, though.
Tomorrow - the train show at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse.
Mookie Boy! If you have heart trouble, don't watch the Nebraska Cornhuskers play football! I am exhausted!
Just wait 'til they join the Big 10...

CW just realized that she hadn't posted the Sat. Pizza Fest Menu; she said "OOPS!"
Everyone have a great evening, and remember to set clocks back!(and check smoke detectors, etc.)
Tom, I'm sorry that the Razorbacks did not leave their chitlins, fatback, rib meat, po'k chops, and other assorted parts in Columbia. If the Gamecocks journey to Fayetteville next year, perhaps they will come back home with plenty of meat to see them through the winter?
Watching the LSU Tigers stem the Tide made for an exciting afternoon.
I was glad to see the Volunteers win a game this evening. Their coach may feel a little safer.
Good Sunday morning everyone. I have to apologize for not making it back in here last evening and making the pizzas. It just completely slipped my mind, until Walt came into the living room, and asked me if I was mad at everyone, because I had not posted the pizza menu. He's right: I did say "Oops!" Guess I'll have to add pizzas to our Sunday Dinner menu, to make up for it. Right now, though, how about I take care of breakfast?
Coffee, juice, hot chocolate, hot tea and hot cider are ready to go. On the serving station: a nice selection of doughnuts and caramel pecan rolls, danish, bear claws, bagels, turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy and scrambled eggs.
I hope everyone remembered to set your clocks back last night, before retiring for the night. I took care of most of our clocks before I went up to bed. Been awake since 4:15 this morning. We have a temp of 31 degrees this morning, going for a high in the 50s this afternoon.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, your morning, take care, and I'll see you all later on this afternoon.
