Justin, she couldn't be in better hands, and your family is in my prayers.
Had a quack visit this morning. It left me with a headache, but now am tube free for the first time in almost a month. Waiting for the pain killer to kick in and then it will be night night.
I saw where David Nelson passed on. That is the literal end of an early TV Family that promoted family values

Good Thursday morning everyone. Justin, I'm very sorry to hear about your aunt. I'll remember you and family in my prayers and thoughts.
Tom, it is good to hear that you finally have your tubes out. Sounds like you are on the mend.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Regular breakfast menu is ready and on the serving station.
Temp's in the teens w/single digit wind chills is the order for this morning and the day. High today in the low to mid 20s. May see some sunshine.
Everyone have a very good morning, keep warm and take care. Any requests for today? (This is Request Thursday) where you all let me know what you want in here.)

Tom, I saw that too, yesterday morning, very first thing when I booted up the computer. I think I was in a state of shock for the rest of the day. All the ones we grew up watching on TV and hearing on the radio are leaving this world.
Sorry to hear about your loss Justin. Lord knows it's not an easy thing to go through.
2 inches of snow tonight...and then three tomorrow night. At least there isn't much wind so the temps aren't bad. A pretty quiet day on tap...or at least that's the plan.

good morning
matt is on time and on the bus.going to do chores and might see what csx has coming by.Tom glad you are on the mend.Cw thanks for breakfast.
stay safe

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").
....A bright overcast morning here with cold temps., but not severe. A bit of snow last evening, I'll call it a skiff.
Just read on here of David Nelson passing....That was kind of a surprise. The family that was projected on that TV program some decades ago, probably is difficult to find now.
Rickey {the younger one}, had a violent end with his airplane crash. Always liked his music. Had a nice melody and beat to it.
Item: Noted we are seeing another Robin off season activity here this morning. Dozens of them are here flying from tree to tree....Just sort of strange behavior. This is the second time in about a week we've seen Robins here in numbers. The other time, the ground was bare and they were getting worms out of the ground as they do in Spring / Summer, but today, that's not possible.
Is "climate change" effecting their sense of normal operation.....Something is....

Q: Is Muncie the site of the new Hitchcock sequel? OR Has Mookie conned Willy2 into cornfusing the local bird population with some different weather...?
Justin: sorry to hear about that.
On a lighter note, PDN just wandered through this part of the country, returning home from diningcar's neighborhood. Hope the east coast is thawed out by the time he gets there.
Hello and peace be with you. 36 and sunny in Carolina with snow still visible in places. Nothing to- report at present
As you were
Good Morning All!
Finally, A chance to get back here and talk you everyone! Life is just too dang busy these days!
I hope all is well with everyone, and that the recent holidays were good to you all.
Keep Warm!

RJ, welcome back!! It's been quite awhile since you've been in here. Glad to know you're still with us!
Hmm, no one has any requests today? Or are you all ignoring my presence here? Okay, I can take a hint. Bye, all, see you later.
Justin - sorry for your loss. It's never easy, but sometimes it's the best.
Decent day today, if cold, but it is mid-January.
Working with several other volunteers on arrangements for our display at the big train show in Springfield, MA. Should be interesting...
CW - Just haven't been in. So let's just pot-luck supper. I'm sure there's some goodies in the fridge.

M C:
It's confusing to us.....Someone, something....seems to be stirring up the climate around the world with something. Guess will have to lay blame to Willie.....Most weather for us comes from the west in general.
cw no complaints from us for the food here.It's all good.weather guessers here say a little bit of snow the next couple of days.tuesday might have freezing rain(YUK!!!).I went to town and got a new sleeping bag.Matts sunday school is having a lock in this weekend.Time to get matt settled in and things ready for tomorrow.
Finally - made it out into the big, wide world today! Have been housebound since Friday with cold and snow and nonsense. Driver figures if he doesn't have to get out in it, he won't. Don't blame him a bit!
Now I can sit back and watch the snow all east of us and but a distant memory.
We went grocery shopping - ugh! Feel like a truck ran over me and a whole lot poorer. But we can sit around with a fridge full of food and ponder whatever can we have for supper! Came home, put food all away and then went out for lunch. Something wrong with this picture.
For any of you that watch the Netherlands railcam - they have a nestcam among their cameras. Has a resident - I think it is a "Hobby" - a raptor bird - darling little killer! We watched them all last spring and summer and they raised 5 little hobbies and sent them on their way. This one didn't migrate and spends time in the box, either resting or eating (gross) - very hard on the local mice.
Anyway - I peeked in before bedtime - 10 pm our time and 7 hours later there, so 5 am and still dark their time. I have seen Bobbi the Hobby bring in a lot of dead small birds and mice. That's nice - a home cooked meal. But this is the first time I have ever seen the "meal" come alive to the door! A healthy meal-on-wheels mouse strolled up and went right into the box looking for "remains of the day". Found a few leftovers, chewed on the doorway for a few minutes, inspected the whole place and then took off for the roof. Bobbi spends time away from the box most days and all nites, so no violence on screen.
Now the camera is down today for repairs, so I am left wondering if there were any snacks this afternoon. As many offerings as the parents bring to the nest during the baby raising, they must have a lot of snacks running around their city. Gives Bobbi a round figure, exercise and a hobby..
Groan....
I will be quiet now, for awhile

Jen....After reading your post, I took a look at the Netherlands cam and just saw a auto carrier train speeding right to left. Open carrier cars. They must not have any vandalism to not have them in covered carriers, as we do.
But I was looking for the "bird House".....Thought you ment it to be in the picture. Checked both cam 1 & 2. Couldn't see anything of it or anyplace it might be.
I had not been on this site for months....In fact, had to update my media player. And I didn't hear any bells ringing at the crossing as it went by....I heard the train, so audio is working. Yes, it's still dark there.
Looking again, perhaps it's over on cam 2 and can't be seen at night.

Consider it my gift to you!
Even I'm getting tired of the cold. It's not fun walking around a college campus with a wind chill of 20 below zero.
Speaking of Robins, I haven't seen any around here this winter, but I remember a few winters ago there were some. This winter, it seems like a lot of geese have stayed around rather than flying south.
Willy
Wow! RJ and Willie both in the same evening! Welcome back, gentlemen!
Q - click on Multi - you will get 9 webcams at once. 1 & 2 are still trains; 3rd one is nestcam; 4th is around the corner from the traincams; 5 is part of a canal in 7 (which has ducks and one egret and one bunny (on the trail) and 6 & 9 are for the peregrins. 8 is a birdfeeder that is close to the canal, the farm and lots of bird species.
I hope you can get it to work - it is fun to watch all of them.
.....Jen, we'll try in the morning....must run to check out Lawrence now on MSNBC....already in progress...
morning
time to get to the bus.light dusting outside.thanks for breakfast.
CW ; wait a minute, Maybe we are just waiting to see what is gonna happen next. Meanwhile I will have a piece of dutch apple pie & coffee. Please come back .

Jen....In trying the cams in Netherlands: Cam 1 & 2 I can bring up and they stay steady. Cam 1 in color, but looks like blotches of water distorting the lights, etc...Cam 2 seems to be B&W but steady and ok.
But clicking on "multi" brings up the black screen divided in 9 spots for pics. But not in full control of them......and a screen will come up and cycle thru various cams....
Is it having trouble now, or is it I having trouble.
afternoon
well csx was busy with trains and mow.q 509 had to move down the line so y101 could work today.q 324 cleared out 2 tracks out of the Defiance yard as well.I did stop by deshler and watched a few trains as well.For supper tonight lets have soup and sandwhiches.Chili is also available.Going to get things around for tomorrow.

Q - first - they are having rain off and on, so the pix may be distorted, depending on how wet the lenses get.
All the screens must "connect to the media". If they connect and start "playing", then double click on one of them. This will bring up that screen and will also enlarge the screen for individual viewing of that area.
So hit "multi", wait a minute to see if they connect, try the above if they don't and if none of that works - it's you.
Screen 7 is black now, since there is no light at the "duck site". I am there now and it is raining pretty hard. But can see all the screens but 7. And hear them all, too. They are all mic'd - sometimes you will get an airplane going by or a duck quacks right into the mic. But at nite they are pretty quiet and you can listen to the rain.
Well, folks, I finally got in the door! This morning, about 7:45, after I woke up, tried to get in, but got message that everything down for maintenance. Then, Walt was on the puter, and I went to library and grocery store. Just now making it back in here.
Joe, thanks for taking care of things in here. Supper looks really good. I think our high got up to 35 degrees F. today: heat wave, considering what our temps have been lately.
Everyone have a good evening, take care, and see you all later.

Ok Jen....Just checked the Netherland's cams....Now, it's all working just fine. But earlier today, the "multi", was really screwing up. Everything, including sound now ok.
And just for the heck of it, I just checked the Roanoke cam, and it's still in color and had a coal train west bound passing.
Now.....Must run and catch our ball game with the Chicago Bulls...That is, against our Pacers down in indy at Conseco.....Later...
Good Saturday morning all. 34 degrees here this morning. Temp should be going down to the upper 20s, then our high today is supposed to be about 37 degrees. May see a little bit of rain, but nothing much.
Coffee, juices, and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Big Saturday brunch is now on the serving station, ranging from bagels, bear claws, to country fried steak, fried ham, red eye gravy, grits, pancakes, etc.
Well, it looks like CSX had a derailment last night, out in the east end and O'Bannon yard. On the news this morning, saw several auto racks on their sides. Glad Sarah's not working out in that area.
Everyone have a good morning, take care whatever you'll be doing this morning, and see you all later.
Cw glad Sarah is ok.Hope no one else was hurt.Were they using RC engines? matt is ready to go for his swim lessons.Thanks for breakfast.we are going to see what rolls by on csx while mom grocery shops.(that way there are no extra cookies in the cart).we'll be at matts lock in tonight at church.
.....We were up to a snow melting temp of 35 plus earlier, but I just checked, and we're now at 31. Overcast today, but no snowing.
Note we're to have snow flurries next few days possible, but no noted accumulation. So, we continue on in our trek thru Winter, here....not too bad as of yet. I know some have been hit hard, and that's too bad, but it seems we're into a warming of some areas of ocean waters again, seemingly, at least part of the cause of weather extremes in some locations.
Looks like we've had a pretty slow day in here. Hope it picks up tonight. Joe and others, the derailment didn't include any injuries: auto racks were empty, and no it wasn't an RC operation. That's about all I know.
Here is our Saturday Night Pizza Fest menu:
1. Anchovie
2. Cheese
3. Canadian bacon
4. Goetta
5. Hawaiian
6. Chicago style
7. Pepperoni/mushroom
8. Supreme
Got to see most of the UK/LSU basketball game. Way to go, Cats, for winning handsomely!! (Quite a blow out, actually.)
Everyone enjoy, have a good evening, and see you all in the morning.
I'm cold; I'm cold; I am cold! Blah
Must have had a derailment sometime Friday nite or very early Sat am cuz we looked like Hulcher's homebase. My bet is a loaded coal train, since a small switcher was moving two loaded coal cars back into the yards. Looked like new rail was going in, but it was so cold and windy, we couldn't stay and watch too long.
Need some hot chocolate - and a blanket!
