Good Sunday morning everyone. Very pleasant outside this morning, on the warm side. Haven't heard any local news this morning, as it doesn't start until 6 a.m. on weekends. But I would imagine it should be a fairly decent day today (didn't even hear any news last night).
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar, and I've included some breakfast wraps .
Everyone have a good morning, and I'll see you all this afternoon.
...We will not get into the 70's today as forecast. It's been wet {at times}, and a little breeze....and cloudy all day. Low 60's now.
Now for this evening....A conflict. Nascar Sprint Cars....and our Pacer {NBA}, game at Milwaukee at roughly the same time.
Former TV had Pic in Pic capability, but these flat screens we have now, do not. At least we have two, and might work it out a bit that way with one watching this one and, etc......

While I was out walking this afternoon (actually, I'd been walking, and was walking towards home), heard a loud clap of thunder, but never felt more than a few sprinkles. Believe I saw that we made it up to 76 today, currently about 71 degrees.

Yeah, but I can't print that on a family-oriented forum....
Today's seminar focused on silos. If you ever happen upon the fire department standing around, watching smoke pour from a silo, there's a reason for that...
Very informative, and well attended. Recalled that we have several of the most troublesome style (oxygen limited) just down the road.

It's wet. It's noisy. It's wonderful! We are getting a lot of rain, but we will take it! They cancelled our Spring football game, but no one is complaining too loudly.
Will be some flooding, but we've done that before and the city is pretty good about minimizing damage. We are on the side of a hill, so will watch it all flow by.
This is more like the thunderstorms of long ago.

...Wow Tom, that's a terrible story of the weirdo in the pawnshop.
Great to hear he landed quickly and convicted in the "jailhouse"...May he "enjoy" his time there.
And your weather seems to be very similar in temps., today to ours.
And several on here are relating where one can get good fish in a restaurant. Recently, I had been enjoying Rainbow Trout occasionally at our local Ruby Tuesday....It had almonds on it with some kind of butter, and it was excellent.
Several weeks ago, Jean and I stopped in...{actually I believe it was my birthday}, to have a good lunch. New menus. {Danger sign}, usually means new prices too, but what really hurt was...they took the trout off the menu. Have no idea why....
Met one of the managers of the business in another restaurant yesterday, and ask her why.....She didn't know either, and didn't know if it might be brought back. So much for finally finding a great outlet to have trout.
Peace be with you. 55 and sunny in Carolina, headed for 79 later. Thanks for breakfast.
There is a local buy and sell page on Facebook, and I was up very early posting some stuff I would like to sell. With my typing problems, it seemed to take forever, but it was only a couple of hours. The rest of the time was spent watching ARE YOU BEING SERVED? on YouTube. That is a delightful way to kill some time. Also have links to KEEPING UP APPEARANCES if I choose to do so.
A rather sensational trial here this past week. A 17 year old walked into a pawn shop and began shooting, killing one straightaway. Then he forced a woman to help him fill a bag with jewelry and cash and then shot her in the head. She survived. He then ran out and the bag burst, spilling most of the loot. In less than an hour, the cops had him in the jailhouse. The jury took less than 2 hours to find him guilty and the judge gave him life plus 75 years, to run CONSECUTIVELY. He will be a very old man if he ever gets out.
Everyone have a great day and weekend.
Tom

Good Saturday morning everyone. Joe, thanks for fixing breakfast, and getting the coffee and juice ready. Joe, Mookie, and Larry, think we're to get a little bit of rain this morning, don't think we're in for anything storms, but you never know. Supposed to be out of my mid afternoon, whatever we do manage to get. Right now, we have a temps in the mid to upper 50s, Believe I saw on the TV screen that our current is about 57 degrees. Not bad for a Saturday morning.
Mookie, you're so right: there's nothing like a good fish (unless your allergic to fish, and I know 1 or 2 who are allergic to fish of any kind.
Everyone have a good day, stay dry, if you can, and I'll see you all back in here this evening for our pizza fest.
good saturday morning
breakfast is ready.juice and coffee are ready.Larry there have been a couple of instances around here where a grain bin was cut open due to a person stuck inside.They also have training in chemical and fuel spills as well.another day another project.time to get chores done.
Joe
Tree - I got mah duck wrapped and ready! I am going to hazard a guess and say that KS/OK/TX and MO will get their share and ours. Most of these storms, by the time they get here, fizzle out. Later in the season it may be a different story. But you can barely see the tv screen for all the severe storm alerts plastered all over, for tomorrow. Over kill in overdrive. Those that heed warnings will heed the sirens and warnings. Those that don't - well they will go down with their cell phones in their hot little hands!
CW - thanx for the fish. I love "good" fish - some places can cook fish that is very good. Others, not so good. Our local Culvers does a great fish dinner. One of the few....
Ms Mook - DUCK! (And not the quacking kind.) Looks like a rocky weekend, especially Saturday.
We're on for thunderstorms on Sunday, but nothing serious. We'll see how that red paint on TWC's maps moves east.
Taking in a class on agricultural safety tomorrow. It's dedicated to a local FF who died when a silo exploded a couple of years ago.
evening
busy day.had to deliver some stuff to my sisters in lima.while waitng caught the lake shore westbound in archbold.another ns train had 9 horses going west.guessers say a good chance of rain tomorrow.Mookie haven't heard of the drivers condition but the ladies jeep is now spare parts.the viaduct said thanks for the snack.off to do some chores.
.....We can use a bit of rain Jen....Possibly late tonight. Believe any bad stuff will go under us.
Also, they indicate we might set some warm temps next few days.
Hello everyone, and good evening to all. Justin, glad to see you could make it in here earlier. Nice to see you come by.
Mookie, speaking of munch munch, I've got the Friday Fish Fry menu on the warmer bar:
FISH: Bass, cod, catfish, flounder, haddock, halibut, perch, salmon patties, Tilapia and shrimp (jumbo shrimp and popcorn shrimp).
SIDE DISHES: baked beans, corn on the cob, cole slaw, tossed salad, mac & cheese, fries, breaded fried mushrooms,
DESSERTS: Pies (pecan, apple and blueberry), Cobblers (peach, strawberry/rhubard, and cherry), Cakes: (chocolate w/white icing, yellow w/chocolate icing, yellow w/caramel icing.
Hope everyone has had a good day. Think we might have made it to 69 degrees today (haven't caught the weather report for current/and or high temp for today). Everyone have a good evening, enjoy, and see you all in the a.m. tomorrow.
Didn't get a walk in today, as I was wading through emails. Had to go in and do some maintenance (like changing password), hoping to get rid of these emails that are being "sent" by me to people in my address book; And the things that are being sent, I have not sent anyone, friend or foe. Hopefully I won't have anymore notices in my inbox that something I've sent to someone could not be delivered, or has an error message of some kind.
Watching 5 eggs and mother bird on mah new big screen! 'Course, we did lose one whole wall in the diner....
Someone is going to get wet between now and Monday. Interesting weather coming together. Snow from Colorado in western NE a very good possibility. Not sure what we will end up with, but bad weather definitely all around us.
Q - looks like you may get wet soon.
Joe - Driver saw the Clinton Street Trap on tv. Ate a U-haul! Munch, Munch....
Good Morning Railfans!
Had a few short downpours again during the night and they are still saying maybe turning to snow by the weekend. Went from a overly dry March to a wet April so far...
It's Friday the 13th

Greetings from the Cross Rails ... Roads of America!
Sunny this morning with a high in the upper 50's I belive. Thanks for the Coffee!
Have a stellar day!

Good Friday morning everyone. Not too bad here in Louisville this morning: temp is around 44 degrees, should see a high in the low 70s range later this afternoon. Did finally make it to the grocery yesterday. Think the food situation should be pretty good now, although there may be 2 or 3 things I'll need to go back and get; you know how it is, you'll think of something you forgot, that is well needed, and think "Why didn't I have that on the list??"
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the warmer bar this morning: doughnuts (chocolate covered, chocolate covered cream filled doughnuts & long johns, cake, yeast, danish (raspberry, cherry, peach, apple, pineapple), muffins, bagels and bear claws, along with some bacon, sausage, eggs, and toast.
No snow here in the Louisville area. Although, with the Ky. Derby festivities soon to be started, we'll probably be getting rain and or snow. Think Thunder over Louisville is next Saturday, so guess we'll need to be on the lookout for at least rain and some chilly temperatures.
Everyone have a very good morning, take care and talk with you later.
M C....Considering the kind of Winter and Spring we've had and are in....one would think the snow has given up and left...
Not completely so. My home State of Pennsylvania had snow on the ground yesterday my sis in law related to me. Didn't last long, but it did have the ground white overnight.
Nothing like that here in our neck of the {mid west}.....{Jen}....It was 33 this morning though when I first looked, but warmed to 59 this afternoon and a full day of sunshine. Now we have some possible rain in the next several days forecast.....Can use some too.
And, we're to be warmer the next 4 or 5...
Being at just 937' elevation does help in comparison with the high country of Co....concerning ability to snow.
Sir C - Don't bring da Boyz to Newbrasskey - all our storms seem to be @ nite.
I will have the aspragus covered for you.... Maybe with a sheet of ice? Hmmm????
We had one of those crossings here - a local high school boy lost a leg doing the same thing. The local big box grocery store not far from this neighborhood raised $$$$ to have a very nice overpass built over all the tracks in the area. Solved the problem. Maybe someone in the big city could do the same for you. Less paper and speeches and more fund raising to fix the problem!!!!
Trains kind of quiet. Found a complete KCS/KCSX grain sitting north and east of city. Long nap time. It will eventually head south to St Joe area, but thru most of the afternoon until we left the area, they were playing chess and napping! No traffic that I could find in its way, so not sure why they were parked so long.
Cat nap before bed.... @
Lion:
(1) Rumor has it that it will be snow Saturday night into Sunday. Will be heading to the Nebrasky border to cover the asparagus barrier.
(2) Last night's T-storm had two scotties crawling on top of me at 2AM and perching on the pillows and my head. (We don't get that many night-time T-storms)
(3) The tragic stupid people stunt at 47th and York shrunk to a new low with the local politicians using the sad affair as a photo op. (person lost their legs crawling under a train entering Pullman Yard)...OLI is down there today with a public service campaign handing out flyers in spanish and english. One of the most risky crossing areas in the state.
Well we got our first Funnel Cloud of the season just south of of the airport (DIA) yesterday along with a downpour overnight. Hope to get the fertilizer down on Saturday but will see what Mother Nature has in-store for us by then...
tree68 A little damp this morning, but no snow, although it's about cold enough for it. Maybe things will finally start to warm up again. Naval battles are an interest of mine, as well - there have been some doozies in the modern era. There's a movie about the sinking of the Bismark. Romantic and dramatic sub-plots not withstanding, it follows the timeline pretty well. As fascinating as they are, however, they're like tornados - there's a toll to be paid. The new digs look great - very spring-like. We may have to put a large screen monitor so Mookie can track the birds, though...

Good Thursday morning everyone. Joe, thanks for taking care of breakfast. I really do appreciate your help around here, along with the others who give a helping hand.
Yesterday was a very chilly day around here. I had to take a bus trip out to my old neighborhood, to go to a visitation at a funeral home. Wore long sleeves, but forgot to pick up a jacket, so I ended up being on the very chilly side. One of my nieces gave me her sweat jacket to wear home, because I was actually shivering. That was around 5 p.m., while I was waiting for the bus to come back home. Oh well, I'll remember next time to go ahead and take a jacket with me.
I have lunch going in the Crock Pot and Slow Cooker: Pork chop abracadbra w/potatoes, carrots & onion, along with some other mild spices. It will be ready by lunchtime, in case I'm not back from the grocery (yep, you've got it, absolutely need to get to the grocery this morning) to get some food in the house.
Everyone take care, have a good morning ,and see you all later.
good morning
work busy busy.matt is off on the bus.time for a nap.there has been an accident at the clinton st can opener(viaduct) but they didn't say it was a truck.I haven't heard anything from csx on my scanner.breakfast is reay.Time for bed.
Good Morning Railfans!!!
It's a gray and foggy this morning and they say we might see some wet stuff this weekend. Right now for that is mostly good news as long as we don't get too much to fast. I'm sure some of you like Jeff would love to send it our way and we will be glad to accept it. Stage 2 of our Window (not widow ) replacement project should start Monday so hopefully our house will start getting back together later next week
Good Wednesday morning everyone. Waking up to temps in the mid to upper 30s here in Louisville this morning, going for a high in the low 50s, may make it to mid 50s.
Darren and Quentin, I believe we are also going to be in for changes in our weather, due to global warming. And we humans are the main factor. We keep stripping the land of much needed vegetation to build buildings, and destroying the trees, grass, that we need. Hate to say it, but it will/is our own fault.
Dropped in the Trackside Lounge on my way in, to say Congratulations to Brian Hanel, on the birth of his first grandchild. I know they are very happy.
Coffee is ready, as are juices and other morning beverages. And breakfast is on the warmer bar.
Everyone have a very good morning, and take care. Guess I'd better get to the grocery store later this morning, so we have some food around the house. The freezer is looking pretty bare right now.
......Not to be confused with the before posts...But I just looked at our electric consumption data available on the computer here this morning.
Last March, our avg. temp here in central Indiana was 41 degrees.
This March, {2012}, avg. temp was 60 degrees.....That's a bit of a move between one year. I realize this is not showing a "trend", just the difference between two years.
In my opinion though, weather patterns certainly are swinging ever in larger extremes in the past decade.
And I realize some parts of the globe are effected with colder temps., and other parts, warmer temps. with these water temp. changes in our oceans.
