We are still getting rain, rain and more rain. Walt and I were outside a little bit ago, and he checked our rain gauge: right at 2 inches of rain.
Our Thanksgiving supper is now on the serving station:
Plenty of turkey with dressing, green beans, corn, dumplings, cranberry sauce and cranberry relish, potato salad, deviled eggs, Watergate salad
Desserts: Pumpkin pie, chocolate cake, apple cobbler, Mince meat bars, and turkey shaped decorated sugar cookies. (And yes, there's plenty of ice cream in the freezer!)
Hope you're all enjoying your Thanksgiving, take care and see you all later.
We had a great Thanksgiving dinner in Galesburg. I found out what BNSF calls Thanksgiving Day. THURSDAY!!. We saw lots of trains on the ex SF line.
Good Friday morning, everyone. I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving! Ours was pretty good. It was still raining when I went to bed last night, around 10:30. I'm not sure what time Walt came up and asked me if I wanted to wake up and see the snow coming down. I said "NO" and went right back to sleep. I was nice and toasty under the covers.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Bagels, bear claws, muffins and cinnamon rolls are on the serving station for you all. (Wonder how many of you are already out in the Black Friday mess.) I do not miss working on this day of the year: I'd already be at work, if I were.)
We currently have 31 degrees, and with the wind chill, feels like the mid 20s outside. Everyone have a good morning, take care and see you all later.

Good morning everybody. 64 degrees in Carolina, cloudy and calling for rain later. No snow for us, Paula, and probably not a whole lot of rain either. I have been up for a while chasing people on the wireless and caught a few. I am getting too old to sit up all night just to exchange howdies with some yaehu in Foomistan or wherever, but seem to try anyhow. Once there was a time I could work all day, play with the radio all night and then work all day. Those days are long past and that would likely put me in traction if I tried.... I have to remember that it's a hobby.
Everyone have a great day and stay safe.

Sunny but cold this morning, albeit above freezing. About a quarter inch of rain overnight. That lake effect notwithstanding, it looks to be a nice day.
I've got to wander into Black-Friday-shoppers-land on the way to the railroad today. Hopefully the traffic won't be ridiculous by mid morning. Gotta have a new battery for the RR lantern, since I know we'll be working in the dark by the end of the day.
Time to start getting ready to go.

Our coldest morning of this season.....24 degrees earlier.
But, to make up for that....No snow in this area....and clear bright, sunny skies now. A bit of wind with it makes it feel everybit of the bite of 24 degrees.
I suppose the stores have been humming since early in the morning...{actually right after midnight}....They can have all that activity, no interference from us.
Must take my HD, digital receiver to the Cable co. office this morning and try to get another....Picked the time to go bad right over the holiday....and it's just 4 months of age.
Connected the cable directily to the TV and we're getting some stations, even some in HD....but they are all over the channel spectrum. Hope to rectify that situation yet this moning. Hope I'm successful. Must get it up and going to see our Pacer's play this evening...!
Our cable co. is one relationship I find difficult to keep calm in dealing with it....But will try as soon as I get off here and disconnect remaining cables so I can take it to be replaced....Hopefully.
Other TV {Bedroom}, working fine, so with both TV's working, the culprit has to be that digital box.
Update: Late afternoon now. New HD digital box in place and TV up and running.....{after a back & forth of conversation {with cable co.}, trying to get new unit activated}...Seems to be just about right....We'll see.

Our inside thermometer is showing 41 degrees outside, homepage on puter shows 38 degrees outside currently. All I know, is, it's cold outside with the wind blowing!
Guess Mookie is watching the Colorado/Nebraska football game on TV. Gee, wonder which team she's rooting for! {swg}
I've laid out the fixings for turkey sandwiches for you all. Am taking a poll for supper: leftover turkey, dressing, etc., or have our Saturday Pizza Fest tonight? You all decide, and let me know.
Just finished my back exercises, and boy oh boy, are my the backs of my legs burning! Guess I'm really doing them correctly, huh?
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep warm and take care.
Friday nite...loading up the car and heading back to Denver starting on Saturday. Think we'll go the southern route this time (I-74 to I-70 WB)....Cincy got a light snow after 3" of rain on turkeyday. Probably make a side trip through Connersville to see if any of the Limas (CUT-25 et al) are running.
Sir Mud: Did you get to watch the Huskers eat Buffalo today?
We will feed them tonite and then send them back home with you!
Be careful - heavy traffic predicted.

A noise woke me up this morning (after getting back to sleep from Trapper waking me up), and it was Sarah, going out to start her Jeep to go to work. Guess I'll try to go back to sleep after a bit.
We're starting out with a temp in the low to mid 30s, going for a high of about 44 today. Hopefully, it'll be a sunshiny day. Everyone have a good day, and see you back for our Pizza Fest tonight. Take care, all of you!

Well, everybody must be busy, busy, busy today. No one in here since early this morning, except for moi, as I had to come in this afternoon, to make the pizza dough, and cutting/chopping the fresh veggies, pineapple and meats.
Here is the pizza menu for tonight:

Good morning from SC. home of the USC Thunderchickens, who whomped arch rival Clemson 29-7 yesterday. Next, It's Auburn's turn.
37 degrees and clear this morning. It looks like a good day ahead weatherwise. I am on the wireless looking to see who I can find in the world wide contest that's on this weekend.
Everyone take care
Looks like it has been really slow in here today. So, going on that note, if anyone comes in and is hungry, you can have cold pizza from last night. Or you can heat up some sloppy joes. Buns are on the counter, along with some various flavors of tater chips.
Our local PBS stations have started their Winter Pledge Drive. Walt and I watched a program earlier this afternoon on Folk Music: yes, John Sebastian, Judy Collens, Pete Seeger, Chad Mitchell Trio, etc. Great trip down Memory Lane! Now watching a program on 50s music, with Patty Paige, The McGuire Sisters, Pat Boone, The Four Tops, etc. Another great trip down Memory Lane.
Everyone continue enjoying your afternoon ,and take care.

Now watching a program on 50s music, with Patty Paige, The McGuire Sisters, Pat Boone, The Four Tops, etc. Another great trip down Memory Lane. I too enjoy programs on PBS, and especially when it's time to run a Pledge Drive, they can find some really interesting music programing. But..........{And I really don't want to start anything political}, if anyone enjoys PBS..., start soon to write your incoming Congress leadership, as they have vowed to eliminate all government funding for it....!

Tom, did not the Clemson-Carolina game used to be played during State Fair week?
Speaking of rivalry, Brigham Young University supporters were shocked when Utah won yesterday--a field goal would have won the game for BYU, but a Ute blocked the kick, which was the last play of the game. Utah played catch-up ball in the fourth quarter, and succeeded. I do not particularly like ketchup in ball games. And, I was pleased to see the Georgia Bulldogs de-sting the North Avenue Trade School Yellowjackets (and, I actually saw someone wearing a jacket with "North Avenue Trade School" on it; I thought that Georgia Tech people did not like that appellation).
It was in the upper twenties when I left for church this morning, with snow lightly falling--and the snow has kept on all day. Tomorrow is supposed to be fair, but Tuesday it is to be cold (below twenty) again. We did have a day or so of close to zero last week. I do not miss clearing the windshield and rear window off before going to work in the morning.
Stay warm and dry.
Johnny
Just back to the house before the snow started (1" to 3" expected here) ...Doing laundry mui-pronto so I can head west tomorrow if the roads allow it.
3 dogs are stuck to us like velcro.It's plain to see that Kansas had a good corn and milo harvest....but the ethanol plants look like a bust. More grain than normal heading overseas this year? Salina, KS looks like a leased locomotive parking lot with lots of 4-axle power of all colors hanging around.
Good Monday morning, everyone. 36 degrees at present here in Louisville, going for a high in the low to mid 50s. Rain not supposed to come in until about 8:00 tonight.
Coffee, juices and other beverages are fresh and ready to go. Regular breakfast menu on the serving station.
Mudchicken, glad to hear you and Boss hen made it home safely! Taking roll call this morning, to make sure everyone is safe and sound: Sound off. . . .

busy at work.thanks for breakfast cw.

Monday.
Morning.
No need to say more.
Johnny, Auburn beat USC earlier in the season, but it was a fluke. This time around, it will be different. Yes, the game used to be played, always at Columbia, during the state fair, and was known as BIG THURSDAY. Some yaehu took the matter to court and a judge forbad it being played at Columbia every time and now we have it at the end of the season here or there.
41 and partly clear in Carolina with a high in the 50s and rain likely later, Trying to decide whether to- venture out or wait with wait winning. We shall see.
Paula, thanks for breakfast. Everyone take care
I've set out sandwich fixings for lunch, along with your choice of these soups:
1. Vegetable beef
2. Cream of broccoli
3. Minestrone
Going to take advantage of the nice sunshine and go out to take care of an errand or two. Everyone have a good afternoon, take care and see you all later.
It is bright and sunshiny today--and cold. It looks as though yesterday's snowfall added 10-12'' to what had already fallen. Instead of reading the morning paper first thing (it had not come until after I had called and complained), I did my civic duty and cleared the sidewalk. Perhaps winter is really here, and I will not be able to finish mulching my leaves until spring? If so, I just as well get my snowthrower out of the storage side and put the lawnmower into the storage side.
Tom, does any other conference have as many bowl-eligible teams? I make it that seven teams should be playing, and if the bowl managers are desperate, three more may be asked. It is interesting how a team that did poorly one year will be excellent the next, and one team that was wonderful one year barely survives the next.
