Johnny & Tom: My final take on this: The best team won. SC beat us fair and square and congrats to them for doing so.
It is just that there was, as usual, a back story that I felt needed to be told. Both teams played very hard and while we were the losers, it took a full 3 quarters to "Git R Done".
And now I will probably upset the whole midwest when I say that I am a big fan of the Oregon Ducks and now the Baylor Bears, too. Baylor is truly "the comeback kid".
Coffee, please.

Good Tuesday morning everyone. Very, very cold, with a temp of 19 degrees F here in Louisville, feels like 9 degrees outside. Our high today will only top out at 28 degrees; but supposed to be back in the 40s tomorrow.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, and hot water for hot tea are fresh and ready to go. On the warmer/serving bar this morning: bacon, eggs, oatmeal, toast, grits, cream of wheat, bagels and bear claws.
For Tuesday Produce this morning, I'm not going out until I see the truck go by the house: I'll sit here in the entry, with the door open (not security door), and people can come to me to put their names down on the list.
Everyone have a good morning, keep warm, take care, and see you sometime this afternoon.
Happy New Year Railfans!
OK, maybe a few days late in that...
Santa was good to me and got a few RR items both historical and model related. Was a quiet X-Mas and New Year for us spending nearly all of it with just Lisa and my brothers dog we are taking care of right now. Didn't spend much time on the forums these past few days other then to just pop in and check if anything need moderated and then pop out again. It should be unseasonably warm for the next few days which mean we will likely get some snow over the weekend.

.....Bright sunshine today, just as promised. But it was 21 degrees when I first looked this morning.
Might hit a bit more than mid 20's today, but not much. But the wind as calmed, so that is a big help.
The remaining part of the week is to be similar, but warmer.
Finally, the TV programs return to normal, except it's full of Iowa politics today.....For sure today.

Good Morning.
37°now with a high of 46° later. We are aiming for a new record high for that date tomorrow, with a forecast high of 57°. Except for that real temperature drop New Years Eve, we have had fairly nice weather lately.
There was a bit of excitement over in SE Calgary this morning. A crane at CN's Sarcee Yard caught fire. The area is somewhat remote, and fire hoses had to be strung a considerable distance, including crossing a major road, in order to fight the fire. There were no injuries, no damage estimate yet, and traffic was unsnarled eventually.
That's all I've got for now.

Quentin, guess now, we'll all have to put up with political phone calls, throughout the day, from now until the Fall, when we go to the polls. arrrrrg.
Produce went relatively well this morning, especially since we only had about 30 people. On the truck this morning: cabbage, zuchinni squash, onions, potatoes and Yoplait yogurt (banana cream and cherry cherry). I brought home a little bit of everything, except for potatoes. Still have plenty of those on hand.
Quentin, believe we have 'warmed' up to about 22, 23 degrees, at 1:15.
Here's the menu for the rest of the afternoon/evening:
1. Chili (mild, medium and slightly spicy hot)
2. Vegetable beef soup
3. Pinto beans, boiled cabbage, fried taters and cornbread
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep warm, take care, and see you all later.

Joe, am very glad you got to hear the "garbage man" there, seems we're not going to get ANY garbage/recycle pickup here until 9 Jan.-Mayor's way of saving some money. Gonna be a LOT of complaints about overflowing garbage cans and recycle bins!!

C W....We did not set any heat records here today, but we certainly did have beautiful sunshine. The warmer stuff is on the way through....Still right chilly here this evening.
The way around the political calls: "Caller ID"....Remember how I said "hello Paula" the other evening when you called....

Good Wednesday morning everyone. 29 degrees here in Louisville this morning, going for a high in the low 40s today, supposedly, our 'normal' temp for this date, 43 degrees by 4 p.m. It will be nice to see the sunshine!
Went to bed at 9:30 last night, and didn't know anything until 5:30 this morning. I knew I was really tired, so I decided to go on to bed. Guess every once in a while, we all need to do that, don't we.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate , reg. milk, hot cider and hot water for hot tea are all ready to go. Bacon, sausage links, eggs, toast, biscuits & gravy, bagels and bear claws are on the warmer/serving bar.
Quentin, we do have caller ID, look at it all the time, before picking up the phone. Definitely do not answer 1-800 #s, the ones that say "No name, private #", that sort of thing. But there are several family member & friends who call, that they come up as "Private name, private #" that we do try to answer. Those are the ones that are turning out to be the political ads.
Everyone have a very good morning, keep warm, take care and see you all later.
Peace be with you. 20 degrees and sunny in Carolina this morning, headed for the high 40s later.
I spent yesterday morning at the dentist having my front toof put back in. A friend asked what happened and I replied that I am married! Actually, I was having a one on one with a BBQ rib when it happened. The dentist said it could stay in for 10 minutes or 10 years...
I spent some time on the Cresson railcam the other day just watching it snow, and found it quite soothing. For those of us who hardly ever see it, it s a novelty!
The phone is already ringing with political calls. Our primary is the 21st so it wil get worse until then.
Everyone take care and have a great day.

For some reason, Tom and I are sharing outside temperatures.
I had a good visit with one doctor yesterday; he thinks that a return visit in six weeks should take care of his concerns. I also had a short visit with Ricki afterwards; she seems to be settling in more. Friday, and every day thereafter, I hope to be allowed to take myself to see her.
As to the cause of being bunged up, several years ago, during the lunch that was served at the church after the church was decorated for Christmas and Christmas boxes were prepared for various elderly people, I stood up, tangled a foot with my chair, and fell to the floor, facedown. As it was, there was nurse in the house who patched me up. The next morning, it was my responsibility to read the Old Testament and Epistle selections for the day. I felt constrained to tell the truth: my appearance was not due to my being married–and there were enough witnesses in the congregation who could attest to the truth of my explanation. Of course, I had to say, "You should see what I did to the floor."

Stourbridge Lion Good Morning Railfans!
That's nice.....and sure appears to be the Denver Depot to the right rear.
....And yes, Paula....It's a judgement call when receiving calls with no name listed etc.....One just has to try to evaluate each situation. One can certainly omit many of them {the political calls}.
Very nice picture, Stourbridge Lion, and Quentin, like your new avitar! Been busy doing laundry: that's why I'm just now getting back in here.
Our menu for the rest of the day/evening:
Fried chicken w/mashed taters, milk gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, baked taters w/plenty of butter; your choice of veggies: baby vegetable medley, peas & carrots, broccoli w/cheese sauce, succotash (lima beans & corn), and cinnamon applesauce.
Desserts today: chocolate cake, yellow cake w/white icing, peach cobbler, strawberry rhubarb pie.
Our current temp is about 42 or 43 degrees, with plenty of beautiful sunshine. Everyone have a good afternoon, take care and see you all later.
been busy with chores.going to check on matts homework here in a bit.City residents and council are still wrangling the politics of the viaduct project.This could cause the project to be delayed and a new source of funding would be found.Cw thanls for supper.Back to work tonight.

Good afternoon.
We broke our record high temperature today with a high of 59°. Five degrees better than the previous record set in 1914. Calgary would have had less than 50,000 people then, and the CPR would have employed almost half of them. The Oil & Gas business really started here with the discovery of Natural Gas at High River later that year.
No new RR news.
AgentKid No new RR news.
Isn't "old news" an oxymoron?
Interesting tidbit about the number of folks by CPR at the beginning of the century, though. Thanks!
cherokee woman Very nice picture, Stourbridge Lion, and Quentin, like your new avitar! Been busy doing laundry: that's why I'm just now getting back in here.
Paula, that picture I did not take. And it was not my car. But....we had one identical to it back when...Both tops and all. Have a photo on the desk here of Jean and I next to it taken over 50 years ago down in Florida.
Good evening,
Temp here is 63F, with the high today in the low 70's, sunny and a light breeze. My two older kids reported great surf this afternoon for their PE class.

Good Thursday morning everyone. 31 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Haven't heard any news or weather, so don't know what our high is to be today.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer/serving bar.
Don't know anything else this morning, so guess that's it for now. Everyone have a good morning, take care and see you all later.
Thanks Paula! That's our Light Rail system that whenever I work downtown I normal ride on.
tree68 Isn't "old news" an oxymoron?
Don't think I haven't thought of that more than once. I've come up with ideas like "news not previously posted on this forum", but that always reminds me of "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince"
Larry, while I've got your attention, I presume there must be trade journal type websites for firemen? The next time you are over there you should see if there is a picture of the Milk River Fire Dept. truck turned completely upside down by yesterday's winds. I guess the winds down there were in the 55-65 mph range and the driver lost control in a gust. It is a very strange sight indeed.
It is 43° now. Pretty darn good for 5:15 PM, the first week of January, in this part of the world.
good morning
its friday.Been busy around the house and at work.guessers say we could reach 50 today.off to stay out of trouble.
