Just got home about a half hour ago. Bus was delayed getting to my 'home' stop, due to an auto accident. While I was standing at the bus stop outside of Walmart, it started drizzling rain. When I got off bus #1, to wait for the 'home' bus, rain picked up somewhat, and I started shivering, complete with rattling teeth. By the time I got into the house, my feet were so cold, I could hardly walk.
Think I will get myself a cup of the vegetable beef soup, and maybe fix a grilled cheese sandwich to go with it. Ending up a very good afternoon to have veg. beef soup, and maybe some baked cornbread with it.
You all have a good afternoon, and see you all later.
Continuing thru the holiday week: We have blue skies with sunshine, and low 20's temps.
To be a bit warmer than yesterday.
2010 is certainly winding down....Perhaps we'll see improvement for our economic status this coming year...let's hope so.

good morning
weather guessers here say rain then cold then snow just in time to go back to work sunday night.Our friend came over and he liked matts new trains.We also replaced some sections of track.Sounds like good weather to stay in and work on that.Cw thanks for breakfast.As for the phone you might want to try unplugging it from the wall and phone jack for 5 minutes then it will reset.Our problem was there was a bad connection in our junction box for the neighborhood.Time for me to go to bed.One more night at work.

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").
MOOKIE!! I'm very glad to see you were in, you're still alive and with us!
Thanks for the suggestions for Friday's menu, too
We have temps in the mid 20s this morning, going for a high in the mid to upper 30s for today. Rain coming in sometime tonight, and will rain off and on, probably thru the weekend. Oh well, that forecast sounds better than sub zero temps or wind chills, ice, sleet, or snow.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Regular breakfast menu is ready, also.
Received a Walmart gift card for Christmas, and think I'm going to take it and do a little bit of shopping around mid morning. We need a new cordless phone (dang think has so much static in it, you can hardly hear what anyone is saying), some yarn, and a few other items.
I have put some vegetable beef soup on in Crock Pots for lunch/supper.
You all have a very good morning, take care and see you all sometime later.
Geez... I thought we had this straightened out....I can't wear insulated bloomers. They don't make them!. So I wear 2 pair at a time! And a light pink snowsuit And that's indoors!
Been celebrating a late Xmas gathering all day today. Weather was very nice, better tomorrow and maybe fabulous on Thursday before it goes right down the rabbit hole. So spending W and R outside!
Have heard from both Willy2 and Houston Ed. Neither has assumed room temperature, but both are busy. Trust me, they really are!
CW - you know Ed's favorite dinner is a huge steak and trimmings. Breakfast is still coffee and lunch, maybe some Texas Chili? (this ought to bring him out of the woodwork)
Damage done here. Off to terrorize the neighborhood!
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
MookieGato is off in the closet looking for her insulated bloomers. Weatherliars here are predicting that winter will finally arrive in Denver. The mountains have been getting clobbered with feet of snow every day and we've been down here in the dry low fifties. We have had no snow - usually have 1-2 feet by now.
One more day of fifty degree weather and then some of Willy's budz go open the freezer on Thursday afternoon, going from 50 above to subzero in less than 12 hours...plus our first snow of any concern makes its appearance (WeatherLiars are talking between a trace and 10 feet)
Regardless, all us survey field types will be scrambling to get what work we have outside DONE before winter FINALLY arrives.

Joe, as far as I've gotten so far, For New Year's Eve, is thinking we'll make that our Friday Night Mexican Fiesta. And that's IF we have anyone in here. We seem to be very lax in attendance around here lately. Some people are excluded: you, working; Johnny, going back & forth to visit Ricki in hospital or rehab center.
You say you hear Mookie giggling?!?! Haven't even seen her in here for several days.
For the rest of the afternoon, evening, I fixed meat loaf for sandwiches and some mashed taters w/gravy.
Think I'm going to go take a short walk. You all take care ,and see you later.
Hi CW. Clear and 22 here in the Winston area of NC this morning. Heat pump has been running non-stop for the past 24 hours or so...
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Well, we have 20 degrees here in Louisville this morning, going for a high in the mid 30s. Saturday, temps in the 50s, and back into the low 40s Sunday.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, etc., fresh and ready to go this morning. On the serving station: bagels, bear claws and the rest of the normal weekday breakfast menu.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and I'll see you all sometime this afternoon. Although, since no one is coming in, guess you don't care if we're open or not.
Larry, thanks for the walk down Memory Lane! Some great performances there!!
All our Christmas Dinner leftovers are gone, so here's what I've come up with for this afternoon and tonight:
1. Sloppy Joes w/fries and tossed salad or Caesar salad
2. Hamburgers and cheeseburgers w/fries, tossed or Caesar salad
3. Chili (mild) w/crackers, and above salads
We currently have, at 1:22 p.m., cloudy skies with a temp of 27 degrees. Think we're supposed to get up to 31 degrees today.
Everyone have a good afternoon, take care, and see you all later.
Sunny this morning, but warm isn't part of the equation. It's almost 10 AM and it's only 13F outside. But the sun is definitely out.
An old friend posted this on Facebook with the note that virtually every garage band of the era played the song. Those who grew up in the 60's need to clear your calendars, as you'll spend a fair amount of time - as I did - checking out the other suggested links, too. Lots of good music there.

Good Morning...
We be getting the mix of sun/cloud and our high today will be 27F. Going all th way to 30F tomorrow...
Found out yesterday that a friend of mine broke his hip in a fall down some stairs at his home ... he apparently passed out..so docs put a pacemaker into him just in case...going to see how he be doing today...
Have a good one people...

On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs (or fried eggs, whichever you'd prefer this morning), homemade biscuits w/sausage gravy, honey, jams, jellies, preserves, marmalades.
You all have a good morning, take care and see you all later.
No more snow here for us.....Just that 1" of new snow last night.
Today seemed rather normal with our attendance to church. And we had a good crowd.
Later, a good meal over at Red Lobster.
Now.....It's just after half time of our Pacer ball game in Indy. So must get back to family room to continue watching.
Afternoon all. Larry, I know what you mean with today being the day after Christmas, a Sunday, no less. I woke up this morning, thinking it was Monday!

1. Anchovie
2. Cheese
3. Canadian bacon
4. Goetta
5. Hawaiian
6. Italian Sausage
7. Pepperoni/mushroom
8. Supreme
Dessert Pizzas: apple, cherry, peach and strawberry. There's also some jam cake, yellow cake w/chocolate icing, chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge, and mince meat bars and pecan pie.
Everyone enjoy your meal, your evening, take care and see you all tomorrow.
Man - this Christmas on Saturday thing has my mind all messed up, especially with the day after being Sunday, so another 'holiday' of sorts (never mind Boxing Day).
Just a suggestion of snow here. No word from my son, who lives within spitting distance of DC and is therefore getting a healthy dose of the white stuff.
Got a couple of projects to work on, so I ought to go do something.
Morning all......
Christmas was nice to my sister and I as well, we got gift cards from Menard's for use on the new house, and got the two china hutches from the house's previous owner. Other than DVD's and a new shirt (which unfortunately didn't fit, was cut too tight around my stomach), not much else, and that was fine.
My grandparents did like the Jack Benny CD collections that my sister and I got them, and dad loved the bowl maker and the LED lights I got him for his trailer.
Today, other than a walk to the grocery store, should be staying at home to recover, will probably work on some more model railroad cars that I had bought a few months ago and have not yet gotten to fleet standards, i.e. check wheels and change to Sergent Engineering couplers.
See everyone later.....

Good Sunday morning everyone. Got about 6 inches of snow in central NC last night, with a few more due to fall today. Temps in the 20's above zero. Guess I'll get to use the new snowblower this year after all...
Good Sunday morning, everyone. Joe, thanks for fixing breakfast. And Happy Boxing Day to you and everyone else here.
Christmas was very good for us. I got Walt a Chessie 2011 Calendar, Sarah got him a book on C & O, that he'd been wanting; From us, Sarah got new house slippers,and a lovely top; And I got a couple of books, a couple of lounge slacks, a new jacket and a new rocker/recliner. So Mr. Claus was very, very good to us all.
We had about an inch of snow yesterday, so we had a White Christmas.
Johnny, glad to hear that you, Rickie and daughters had a good Christmas, as well. Will keep praying for Rickie's health to improve.
Everyone have a good morning, be safe going to Church, or wherever you need/want to go this morning. Take care and see you all later.
Got a whole bunch of kits and parts for the layout yesterday plus a Peavy PV6usb for my computer...yes I also produce music off my computer...
Kind of cccold out there this morning...damp and raw Northeast winds....
Have a good day...
Happy Boxing Day.We had a great day yesterday.After trying out matts new sled we saw a G 939 on CSX. A lonely sd 60 was returning to Garrett.There were a few other trains on csx too.Breakfast is ready.Juice and coffee are ready to go too.It's back to work for me tonight.Matt and mamma are on vacation.
It was a beautiful day. Church this morning, then to the hospital to stay until after Ricki's supper. Katie and Ginny (daughters), with Katie's daughter, and Ginny's husband and two daughters, and one of Ginny's co-workers were already there. Ginny's four-year-old has begun to to greet me when we arrive--and the two-year old was at last ready to greet me. After we sang Christmas hymns and a New Year's song, they gave us presents (we had already gotten their presents to them). No exercise for Ricki today, but we hope she will have her time filled next week.
Merry Christmas (all Twelve Days) to all.
Johnny
Ahh, home.
Not that it was a tough day - I got to do what Grandparents do, spoil the grandkids and go home!
I did forget to provide earplugs to daughter and her husband, since two of the gifts to grandson make noise. Daughter said he enjoyed playing with his cousin's toy vacuum cleaner, which makes vacuum cleaner noises, so he got one, too. It does double duty as a bulldozer, too!
The other gift was a toy guitar that also makes noise - which vaguely resembles music (who knew an 18 month old could play Cream?). Grandson had enjoyed playing along with his cousins (on dad's side) while they played "Guitar Hero," and we were thoroughly entertained by his antics.
But we had a good time.
Hope everybody had a marvelous time and that all the clothes fit!
Merry Christmas from us to you.....
We just got back from delivering my sister back to her home from here...traffic really light...road conditions dry....
Everything has just been refreshed on the serving station for this evening. I hope you all have had a very good day with family, and possibly any friends who might have dropped by to wish you and yours A Very Merry Christmas.
Enjoy your evening and take care.
Peace be with you on this most blessed of days. 49 and cloudy in Carolina and calling for SNOW. I haven't seen a guess of how much, but we are promsed at least a dusting across the entire state.....
Everyone take care

....Made it safely to late Christmas Service last night....Didn't see Santa, but....sure did see two of his "raindeer"......Two of them jumped out right in front of us as we returned home from Church. If there would have been a third....we and the deer might have collided. Snow on the road, so I'm not sure if hard braking would have been possible.
I was traveling just 35 mph. and there were just two....so we all made out ok.
Christmas Service was nice as usual, and the snow threat we've been under for several days turned out to be just one inch of it here.
28 plus degrees now...overcast, and not snowing.
Best wishes to all for a good Christmas Day.
