Good Tuesday morning everyone. Yep, I know: I'm in waaaay to early. But we had a thunder storm roll in, and I couldn't go back to sleep. So, I'm up and working on the computer (after said storm passed by.
Coffee is ready, along with all the other morning beverages. After a little bit, breakfast will be ready. See you all later on, probably after I finish with Tuesday Produce and Bread/Pastry trucks. Then, bet I'll be ready to go to .
.....Well folks...I realize one has a better chance to identify {in my Avatar}, if that person is more mature in age. So wouldn't expect "youngsters" to have much of a chance. Plus one would have a much better chance if he was an "auto" fan.
And if any fan cares to see it in better size, I need an email address.
The "couple" are standing at the rear of "Preston Tucker's" 1948 Tucker automobile. They are looking at the "strange appearing, and arrangement", of it's engine.
He managed to build 51 cars before his effort collapsed....It's a long story that made lots of noise in the auto world at that time.
I have managed to see 8 of them at various locations.
And Bruce.....That sounds like it's much too cold to venture outside...Terrible.

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").
Pork roast sounds better than what I had planned...
Down to about -10F overnight, now up to almost 30F.
New snowblower works good. Almost too good - I have to watch where the snow is going lest I put it in the road or someplace else I don't want it to be.
Looking for folks who want to strip the paint off a locomotive next Saturday.

Here is our menu for the rest of the day, as requested by Cannonball:
Rolled pork roast w/mashed taters, gravy, cornbread, collard greens, broccoli w/butter sauce, garden vegetable medley and for dessert: lattice topped apple pie, with hot coffee (or hot tea for our tea drinkers). The way the wind is blowing outside (at least here in Louisville), sounds like a winning combination. Everyone enjoy, have a good afternoon, and see you all later.
Good morning.
-15°F with a N 8 mph wind giving us -33°F windchill now. It was cool in here last night when the 11:00 news was on, but you could tell the wind dropped right off and by 1:00 AM it was much better in here. Now even that 8 mph wind is enough to cool things right back down again.
Quentin, I'm guessing you are looking at the fuel injection system on your 58 Corvette. Barrett-Jackson Auction on Speed Network all week starting tomorrow. Those 10 hour broadcasts next weekend are long but it keeps me off the street!

She is saying "You move your hands from where they are toward any part of the engine and I am calling my lawyer!"
Bruce - guess you are "visiting" tonite and tomorrow. Teens tonite with maybe inch of snow, north wind and 22 tomorrow. But 40 degrees for Wednesday. I don't even need to put out clean towels for the short visit.

.....Our temps began rising last evening and thru the night. To go way above freezing today....probably well into the 40s.
Light overcast but bright now. Possible rain later today.
Looks like temps will be all over the scale this week, but the default, will be on the up side.
So into the new week we go, and continue to put away our coldest month, that being January. {In the 3rd week}, then we start towards the warmer stuff....{avg.}.
Trivia:
Can anyone identify what the "couple" in my Avatar are looking at....?
Good Morning Railfans!
Well W**K I think has finally stopped trying to kill me so maybe I can get in some RR fun for a bit...
It's 26F and sunny right now with a chance of a few inches of the White Stuff tonight. Hope everyone had a great weekend and for those of you lucky enough to have today off as a holiday hope today
Now to get the old paper opened up and see what I have missed over the past several days here...

morning
sunshine for now rain moving in later.off to find some trains with matt.
Peace be with you. 29 and sunny in Carolina, expected to make it to 58 later.
I think I've heard it all now. Police in NC report that a guy smuggled a large frame .38 revolver with a 5" barrel into the jail in his "posterior body cavity". It was so far in that a body cavity strip search failed to find it. Good thing he didn't have an Uzi!
After that, not much to report. Everyone have a great day.

Good Monday morning everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend. We watched a pretty good movie last night, Super 8, about this group of teens making a Super 8 movie about zombies, who witness a train crash. Then, people and animals start disappearing, including the sheriff. Really enjoyed that movie.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go, and breakfast is on the warmer bar.
Have only been up about 45 minutes, so haven't heard any news or weather. But, from what I remember of the 6 p.m. news/weather last night, we're supposed to get up into the mid 40s today. Think it is only to be a lovely day.
Cannonball, since I didn't see you request for Sunday Dinner yesterday, that is what we'll have this afternoon/tonight. Everyone have a good morning, take care and see you all later.
....One needs more than just boots here this morning...9 degrees. But it's been a nice {Winter}, sunny day. 23 degrees right now.
After church, it was Red Lobster.....Rainbow Trout. Lots of traffic today...The cold did not keep everyone in today.
Since it is so cold, how about a rolled pork roast baked with mash taters & gravy. Corn bread to help sop up the gravy and some steamed collard greens. For dessert, lattice apple pie and wash it all down with coffee. The clouds are building up here in the mtns. along with the wind. Snow &rain in the guessing dept. of weather.. I'll tell Shirl to toss another log on the fire, if she don't hit me with it first~~~ HEE HEE. Hope everyone is warm& dry.
Respectfully, Shirl & Cannonball
Mookie Now we have someone "on run" and no shirt or shoes.
Now we have someone "on run" and no shirt or shoes.
Mookie, if we have anybody running around like that here today their mind is seriously clouded by drugs or alcohol. Currently it is 0°F with a N 17 mph wind, giving us a windchill of -22°. The relative humidity is up to 71%, and there is light snow falling.
Baby it is cold outside.
And it isn't as warm in here as I would like, either. During gusts you can really feel the cold coming through the walls.
That is all I've got for now.
Mookie, your wish is our command! As a matter of fact, Walt is right now, cleaning the snow off the grill. I'm preparing the steaks to go on the grill, along with the "baked taters". But, Walt says that, even though it is warmer today, he won't be dressed in shorts , while he is grilling. He's doing the KP duty today, as I have to make a trip to the library: have some books in, that I need to pick up, and have some books to return. And I've got the side dishes ready, and on the warmer bar. Salads in the cooler.
39 and sunny and we seem to be having trouble with our citizens not wearing all their clothes this month. Now we have someone "on run" and no shirt or shoes. (hope this one is a male, but who knows!)
I gotta get darker sunglasses!
good morning
going to look at more pictures to scan.cw thanks for lunch.
joe
Since we have one more beautiful day here in Spa-land - how about steaks on the grill?
Heading out again for more vitamin D. And as the sun moves, so does the cat. @
Good Sunday morning everyone. 23 degrees here in Louisville this morning. Think we're supposed to get up close to or in the low 40s today. Sure will be nice. Hope you all had a very good evening last night.
Coffee, orange juice and other juices are fresh and ready to go, along with hot chocolate, hot cider, and there's plenty of hot water for our hot tea drinkers. On the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, and breakfast wraps w/bacon, eggs, green peppers, red peppers, cheese and whatever else you'd like in the wrap.
Believe my sinus infection is finally beginning to get better. Still sneezing some, but the dripping is better and so is the cough.
Everyone have a good morning, take care going to Church, work, or rail fanning; and if anyone has a special request for Sunday Dinner, please let me know.
Hi everyone. I thought I would drop by for a Hawaiian pizza before the 11:00 news comes on.
18°F now, but it is expected to drop to near zero later. We are looking at some flurries over the next few days but nothing too serious.
I've been busy watching Curling. Three games a day since Thursday. One of the commentators had a good joke that would apply to those folks up in Cordova, AK, with all their snow. He say's "you can tell it is deep when you only have ¼ of the house showing!" He is from Moncton, NB and has had his share of that action himself.
No new local RR news.
The boots were not the part of the outfit we were looking at - it was the 4 string top she had on with no coat. I was looking at her from a mother's standpoint. Driver was looking at her goosebumps.
Tree - I think you best make it 2 blankets. And plug one of them in!
I dread the fact that this is going to happen here before summer.
Just got back from a carbon monoxide alarm activation (that happens when you run snowmobiles in the garage with the door closed...).
Thermometer in the truck was reading -9F. It's a little warmer here at the house right now: -4F.
Gonna be a chilly night. Time to dig up an extra blanket.
Short skirt & boots in Jan., maybe she was hunting for sassafrass roots for tea?!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
....Heat wave here too....Just now peeked, and it indicated 24 degrees. Might have been a bit higher earlier. But since I can't see the readout from my La z Boy, I didn't note how "warm" it got....
Sky is mostly clear, with just fine cover...but sun has been shining this afternoon.
No incentive to go out anywhere today, we just let the Winter day go on without us.
Ball Game {Pacer's}, this evening....So that will be watched and let the cold be enjoyed by whom ever cares to be out in it.
Short skirt and boots combination in January....?? No complaints.
Just started snowing a little bit ago. Seems to be covering the gravel next door in the parking lot, but so far, isn't sticking to the sidewalk or street too much.

03. Cheese

Mookie But she did have boots on!!!!
But she did have boots on!!!!
Mook - The way fashion is today, she'd have been wearing those boots in July, too...
Cold. All day. Single digits cold.
New snowblower in the shed. Old one wouldn't start, and I didn't want to take the time just now to hunt down somebody to repair it. I'm sure a tune-up would do the trick, but I should have thought of that back in June...
Headed for Utica tomorrow for the toy train show at the station. Got to do some recruiting - volunteers are always needed.
Joe - just got home from inspecting the BNSF - they ran everything they could get their hands on last nite, but did have some freight today.
Brought up 4 9's from the south with a very short train. Looks like power move.
Sent a DEEX your way - get your lighter ready.
Sunny but rather chilly - altho did see some young thang walking in a bareshoulder top and short skirt and probably lots of goosebumps (think it is around 40.) But she did have boots on!!!!
wind check cold check snow ehh not so much.But some did have their fender bender and ditch finders on yesterday.matt and I stayed close to home this morning as mom went to the store.csx was running a good mix of trains. sunshine is out now.Cw will take some pizza for tonight.
