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.
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
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....

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.
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.

...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.

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.
Mookie PS - for Tree: Driver wants to know if you are walking through your woods up there and trip and fall - do you hear anything?
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.
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.
Here is our Saturday Night Pizza Fest menu:
01. Anchovie
02. Canadian bacon
03. Cheese
04. Chicago style
05. Goetta
06. Ham & green pepper
07. Hawaiian
08. Italian sausage

Hope you all have a very good evening, enjoy your pizzas and dessert, take care and see you all in the morning.
...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......
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.
morning

Mookie is fine. Sirens got us out of a sound sleep about 11:30pm last nite. Funnel cloud between Seward and Lincoln (20 miles) and was passing across the northwest territories of the city (get your maps out). So they woke up all 250K of us to let us know.
Fortunately, I can sleep just about anywhere, so listened to radio for the 15 min it took to get it out of the area and then back to the Land of Nod.
Gonna go check eyelids for holes now.
Speaking of weather and Nebraska, what ever happened to Willy2?
Zardoz, other than occasionally on Facebook, don't know. Don't think I've even seen him on there for awhile. Guess he's too busy getting ready for college finals.
Here's our Sunday Dinner menu:
1. Fried chicken
2. Grilled chicken
3. Beef ribs
Sides dishes to go with any of the above:
1. Mashed taters w/gravy
2. Garden salad
3. Green beans
4. Broccoli w/butter sauce or brussels sprouts w/butter sauce
5. Macaroni & cheese
6. Baked cornbread or dinner rolls
After Church this morning, had to stay for a meeting. After it was over, one of my fellow parishoners asked me if I would like to help with Vacation Bible School towards the end of next month. Told her I would have to let her know, after my 2 doctor visits the first part of May. If I have to have surgery for the blockage in my right leg, may not be able to.
Very nice day today: plenty of sunshine and breeze. We were supposedly to have wind gusts up to 30 mph, but so far, don't think I've heard anything like that, at least around our area. Hope everyone here is having as good a day weather-wise. Everyone take care, have a good afternoon/evening, and see you all later.
Good Monday morning everyone. Starting out with temps around 70 degrees here in Louisville this morning, with rain beginning to come in. Along with very brisk winds. Our temp is only supposed to go up 2 or 3 degrees more. Maybe it'll get a little bit warmer, as the rain is supposed to be out by late morning, early afternoon.
Everything is cleared from the warmer bar from yesterday afternoon/evening. Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Fresh breakfast food is also on the warmer bar: bacon, sausage, eggs, toast and some jelly, jams and preserves.
Hope none of you had any really bad damage from all the tornado activity over the weekend, in the midwest. Everyone take care, have a good morning, and see you later this afternoon.
Good Morning Railfans!
It's 34F and sunny here in the Mile High. Got a bit of rain and a slight dusting on snow over the weekend; not allot but enough. Should be shooting back up into the 70's for the next several days.
My thoughts out to all effected by the nasty weather the past several days...

Good Tuesday morning everyone. Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar.
Sorry about not getting back in here yesterday, but the weather was so nice yesterday, that I just concentrated on other things, other than sitting at the computer.
Everyone have a good day, take care, and see you sometime later.
Good Morning Railfans
Currently 42F and sunny here in the Mile High city. Nothing new to report so here is a photo that was just posted in my most current RRAdventures topic "Railfanning South of Town (2010)"
afternoon
nice but cool outside.ns horse was still outside in the siding when I left work this morning.Might need more than a new set of wheels.Off to watch Matt at his afterschool program as they wrap things up for the year.
Afternoon, all. Been kind of a lazy day, after I got home from Tuesday Produce this morning. Have done a little bit of reading, in between naps: 1 this morning, after Produce, and then, 2 hours later, another nap, that lasted about 2 hours.
Here's the menu for tonight:
1. Semi-Mexican Fiesta, with tacos, burritos, Spanish rice and plenty of tortilla chips w/dips
2. Hamburgers/cheeseburgers w/garden salad and steak fries
Everyone have a good evening, and take care.
Aren't those naps great! I love reading but have a lifetime of reading just before bed. Now I can't touch a book during the day w/o a nap coming on.
Or go for a ride; or watch trains; or work on puter more than an hour.....

2. Grilled chicken - Mud after dealing with the mothership beancounter. (not quite Dancing the Carpet...lessons in bad communications)
Good Wednesday morning everyone. Starting out with a temp of 53 degrees, going for a high in the low to mid 70s, is what I think I heard for today. Should see more sunshine today, so will hopefully make it into the mid to upper 70s.
Mudchicken, sounds like work (and bosses) are really getting to you. Hope things start getting better for you.
Mookie, yes, naps are very good, after reading for awhile, working on the computer, taking a long walk, etc. Sure does help bring the ole energy level back up, doesn't it.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar.
Things are beginning to hop around Louisville this week, as they are getting everything prepared for Thunder over Louisville this Saturday. Reckon later today, and tomorrow, we'll start hearing the planes coming in to the airport/Air National Guard.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and see you all sometime later this afternoon.
Good morning and peace be with you. 62 and clouds in Carolina, headed for 79 and thunder later. With the front coming in, my jints have been shouting obscenities all night and have kept me up.
Interesting items on the local news. A couple had a security firm install an alarm system, and one of the installers made off with the wife's jewelry. Another item told how 4 people beat up a one armed man and took everything he had on him except his clothes and bicycle! One man, sleeping in his bed was hit and killed by someone driving by shooting into the house. Another guy tried to rob a convenience store using hot dog tongs as a weapon..... and finally, someone drove a pickup truck into the side wall of a gun store, knocking it down and then made off with a bunch of pistols. We live in an awful world don't, we?
CW, enjoy the mule race and the attendant visitors. I will be there with you in spirit!
Everyone take care and have a great day.
It's 40F & Sunny heading for 71F. Our Window Replacement project is nearly completed with the Stain / Patch / Paint of the window area itself now done. We will do some other Patch / Paint work around the house by the weekend now that the paint can has been opened just to spruce up the place a bit. Then there is the task of putting the house back in order after moving a lot of stuff out of the way. This was one of the major project the wife said was ahead of having a Model Train layout room so I'm a step closer! Hoping to get in some Railfanning next month as it seem like it's been forever since we have taken a trip significantly outside of town.
Break in the hockey game, so just sneaking thru to raid the fridge.
MMM - cold fried chicken and pizza.
Go back to what you were doing - I have this all covered!
