.....Almost a broken weather recording...Again, a beautiful day in Muncie. Upper 70's or near 80....Really didn't see the high. Weather reporters are saying thru Sunday...{At least}.
Quentin
Fall is falling upon the Wasatch. Today's high was in the sixties, with rain off and on. Tomorrow's high is expected to come about midnight tonight, as a Cold front moves in (and is said to like the area; it will stay until the first of next week, so be warned, MC). Snow is expected at the higher altitudes (6000-8000 ' +), and we may have light snow in the valley. I finished buttoning up for winter this afternoon by putting the plug back in the lower part of the storm door.
Yesterday morning, we went down to a fire station seveteen miles away to watch the graduation exercise of a firefighter academy (Ricki's grandson was one of the twelve in the class). A good lunch ws provided ( I wonder what it cost the Unified Fire Authority (which covers several incorporated cities and the unincorporated county; our city does not participate). The weather was good until we were on our way home, when it began raining--and stopped after we were in the house.
In the afternoon, I went to see my oncologist, and she was fairly well pleased with what she saw--no evidence of cancer (going on five years since my chemotherapy was finished; I may have commented on this before, but my hair and beard became a little darker after the treatment, but it is certainly not worth it to repeat the treatment just to get my red beard and brown hair back).

Good Thursday morning everyone. Our morning temp is in the low to mid 60s, going for a high again in the low to mid 80s. No rain in sight for us, until late next week.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the warmer/serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs or fried eggs, if anyone wants their eggs that way.
Johnny, sounds like you got a very, very good report from the oncologist yesterday! Glad everything is going well for you. How is Ricki doing? Hope she is doing well also.
Went to the grocery yesterday and stocked up on most of the supplies for the month. Mook, the kittens are growing like weeds: half the time we can't tell which one is which. Right now, I'm watching one of them, playing with what's left of a dead pine branch. She's batting it across the front porch!
Everyone have a very good morning, take care, and see you all later on.
Well, looks like we've been really slow in here this morning. Hope at least a few people decide to pop in over the afternoon.
Here is our menu for the rest of the day, which will be replenished every hour: our Mexican Fiesta Day:
1. Burritos (beef, beef & bean and beef enchilada style)
2. Tacos (soft shell and hard shell)
3. Spanish rice
4. Chimichanga dinner
5. Fajitas
6. Quesadillas
Desserts:
1. Yellow cake w/chocolate icing
2. Apple cobbler
3. Chocolate chip cookies
Have a great afternoon, you all, and see you later on.
....No change. Another very nice day. Keep 'em coming Jen.
Ahh - back!
No Internet this AM. Also no phone or TV, meaning the cable service was down. Called it in, then after lunch discovered the problem - someone (likely a truck) had taken the wire down off the pole, with some force.
All fixed now, so I can get my 'Net fix...

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").
I think I saw this in a BC comic strip once:

Grocery Day. Ugh! But then I get lunch trackside and lots of trains to watch!
Boeing train headed west with 3 biggies on board.
Saw an old Conrail Engine and a NS on the Boeing train.
Q - rip your hair off SE wind today but still nice, albeit cloudy off and on. Tiny tinkle this a.m. More rain maybe tomorrow and Sat.
CW - they do grow fast. Just as long as they remember which is which.
Joe - Happy early anniversary. Heading for 50....
Tree - don't you hate it when you lose your net?
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
MookieTree - don't you hate it when you lose your net?
Back when I was doing network stuff it was worse. Today was only inconvenient for me. Back then you had hordes beating on the door, wanting to know when their 'Net would be back up...
Best have Mooks go to the Drive-Thru window and hand a sack lunch to Toto as he goes flyin-by. He just passed south of Cheyenne at about 60 MPH. I think winter is chasing him instead of the flyin' monkeys this time.
I noticed a mixed bag of something all over your area and west.
If you get near Lincoln, notice the big grass/field fire and 25-35 mph winds with 33% humility.
Sack lunch - tuna sandwich, carrot, dill pickle and ......gatorade.....comin' up.
Won't be near Lincoln until 18th & 20th.
Spent part of today crawling around a failed unloading pit under a track trying to figure out what the knuckleheads did when they built it. (so we can "figger" out how to remove it)...Not much of a problem until somebody slithered-by about a foot behind my head.
I wish Aggies and Miners would let the railroaders design track structures. This thing almost killed a trainman and dumped an ethanol car.
TREE: That Alco C-424 (Ex BN #4243) still around?
M C: ...."Slithered by"......as in Reptile...? Ugh...
mudchickenTREE: That Alco C-424 (Ex BN #4243) still around?
I haven't been in Utica for a while, so I don't know if it's there, or if it's headed east, although some recent conversations lead me to believe it's still in Utica.
We aren't using it.
It's owner has moved on from ADIX. At one time the locomotive was probably headed for Connecticut, it may now be headed for the Saratoga and North Creek.
It was built as SP&S 303.
Good Friday morning everyone. 61 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Supposed to make it back up to between 85 and 87 degrees this afternoon. Should be another very good day around here.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go; breakfast is on the warmer/serving station.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and see you all later.
....According to an email this morning, I believe the photo shows the "slithered one", in fact = Reptile. Don't know what kind it was, but like none of them.
And.....{broken record}, another beautiful day here. And it continues.
That's a good thing.
Quentin, same broken record for Louisville as well, although we do have the Air Quality Alert in effect.
Our Friday Fish Fry is now ready and on the warmer/serving station: all the different kinds of fish, side dishes and desserts.
Everyone enjoy your afternoon, and see you all later.
matts fall fest at school was fun today.Time to work on some chores.

It's dark in here. Someone pulled a blind over the sun! We are supposed to have rain, but not right away. Guess we will sit in the dark until late tonite or maybe tomorrow before we see any trinkles.
Going out tomorrow to see if we have a lot of Ohio people here in town. And that's all I am going to say about football...
Moo....
How about them Tigers!
Now, if they can keep winning...

I spent my adolescence listening to Tiger games on the radio - we lived just outside Detroit. Frank Lary, Al Kaline, Mickey Lolich, Bill Freehan, Norm Cash, Jim Northrup, Mickey Stanley, Dick McAuliff - classics all.
As for the Yankees - I come close to the camp that, when asked who they root for, answers "who ever is playing against the Yankees..."
I don't hate 'em, but I favor others over them...
.....Just like a Summer day here...Except, the sun sets much earlier.
Darker in the early morning too...but, what a beautiful day....Right at 79 or 80 for the high. Clear sky.
I have given up on the abomination formerly known as FaceBook, at least for a while. The slow loading due to the ad ad everywhere an ad policy plus the problems making an entry for the same reasons coupled with my typing problem are too much. The turkeys have made a shambles of what once was a fun place to meet up. Now, it is painful and aggravating.beyond measure just to try and say hi. T'aint worth it. Also, it very thoughtfully put a number of friends, including Paula on the blocked list. I only found them blocked when I was trying to find the way to deactivate the account. I had wondered where they had got to. I may go back once they get it unscrewed. End of soapbox!
