104 here today. Mudchicken going to get a tin cup from the back of the diner and go in the frezzer and swim in it.
The fires are creating some bizzare "Bronco sunsets". Who said orange doesn't occur in nature?
.....Paula....I just returned from the hospital. They thought they could take the breathing tube out this morning, but didn't go ahead with it.
Something that she wasn't alert enough yet. This afternoon, she was opening her eyes somewhat, and the feet / legs moved occasionally.
So the same care continues, and I suppose that process may be attempted again tomorrow morning.
Did get to talk to the surgeon this morning and he checked several readouts and her incision and her general display, and he said to her we're going to get you out of here Jean....Things are looking good overall....So hopefully it will advance a bit more tomorrow.

Good Evening
Well, our part of the yard sale did pretty good...$900 ..a few others had about the same but most were in the $200-300 area. So my rap bit must have done the trick....even if I look like a bedraggled little muffinhead....
Anyways...we had a good time and saw a lot of folks from around the area...so that was a fine day to be had...

Okay, need to make a correction on my "Traffic Alert" from this morning: it IS I-65, but most of the work is on the Kennedy Bridge, from Indiana into Louisville, KY. Guess I was still half way asleep this morning, when I typed that.
Did get out and took my walk this morning, got home just about 11:00, and I was beginning to feel the heat. Really felt it later this afternoon, close to 2:00, after I got into Kroger, to get a couple of things for us to have here at home for our Sunday Dinner, and meals for next week. Started to feel sick of my stomach, and one of the workers went and brought me some nice, cold water. That certainly did the trick. (Yes, I forgot to follow my own advice, and left the house without my bottle of water: won't be forgetting that again!)
Quentin, how's Jean doing today?

Good Morning All:
Currenlty 71 here in Alamo City. Expected high of 100.
Enjoy your Saturday!
Good Saturday morning all. We got to 89 degrees yesterday for our high. Looking at plenty of sunshine, with a high today of 90 and 91 degrees for tomorrow, with an air quality alert for both days.
Quentin, I'm happy to hear good news for you and Jean.
Mookie, I thought I was the only one around here who liked butter pecan ice cream! I'll have to make sure I have more of that flavor on hand, won't I? That is my favorite, after chocolate ice cream.
Barry, hope your treatment session went well yesterday. Glad your insurance will be able to take care of the damages from the storms.
Sarah had the day off yesterday, so yesterday afternoon, the three of us loaded up in her Jeep, and went out to St. Matthews and played pool (or billiards). Guess I did a little better than I normally do, when shooting pool, as I surprised myself at a couple of the shots I got yesterday.
Heads up for anyone who might be traveling I-65: as you're going NB or SB, there is only ONE lane OPEN in each direction: road repairs started yesterday, and will be continuing until sometime in July. Randy Voss, got your ears on??
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And our Saturday Brunch is on the breakfast/warmer bar/serving station: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, toast, biscuits, sausage gravy, red-eye gravy, country fried ham, pancakes, etc.
Everyone have a good day, take care, keep hydrated, and I'll see you all later this afternoon/early evening for our pizza fest.
Good Morning

Hi Quentin....I just got home to San Antonio from Shreveport when I saw your new update on Jean.
Our prayers and good wishes for a rapid recovery go out to you both.
....Thanks friends. Final part of the surgery was done today almost on schedule, just after noon.
Success in connecting the colon back together. Now we're praying for a successful recovery / rehab. She is still sedated today / tonight, than next they'll try to remove breathing mach. / ventilator.
Prayers do help....! Thank you.
Evening Railfans!

Afternoon Railfans!
Currently 99F and they say we will hit 100F, Saturday forecast 102F, Sunday 100F, and Monday 98F
YUK!!!!!!!
TGIF Railfans!
It's 6F and heading back into the 90's today as well as for the weekend - YUK, YUK, and more YUK!
FIRE NEWS: Sadly more homes were lost, total now at 191
This Tree is still upright (although the recliner does call from time to time). Might see a sprinkle today - we still need more rain.
Q - My thoughts are with you as well.
On genealogy - my aunts on my mother's side (neither of whom married) did extensive research and documentation of that side of the family, which they carefully bound and presented to many of us for Christmas in 1979. This is proving quite useful as I work my way through the on-line genealogy program - I, too have the same names popping up and having dates to put with the names helps keep them sorted out.
My daughter has similar documentation for my father's side - I'll have that in hand next weekend.
The challenge is to not get overwhelmed by all the "side trips" of distant cousins. Several generations on my father's side had upwards of 10 kids. While the men would have retained the family name, the women would generally have married, bringing a new name into the fold.
In one way, it's a little spooky, as once you get past a few generations, your family may have lost track of the family name(s) of those women, leading to the possibility that you may actually be related to your spouse/significant other, albeit remotely.
Kinda like the two young folks, now married and expecting, to whom I am related both by blood (my father would have been his great uncle, her grandmother is my mother's cousin) and now by marriage. Of course, the two of them aren't related, unless you want to go back to "Adam and Eve..."

Good Friday morning and Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, dear Joe,Happy Birthday to you! Hope you have a great birthday to day, Joe, and also hope you have many Happy Returns today and always.
Yep, less humidity this morning, with a temp in the low 70s, going to a high around 85 to possibly 88 degrees this afternoon.
Coffee, juice and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast of bacon, pancakes (1 stack with a single birthday candle in it), scrambled eggs are ready and on the breakfast bar. Waited until I had Joe's birthday cake iced and decorated, before posting anything.
Quentin, will be saying prayers for you and Jean off and on all day today, especially. (In other words, more than I usually do daily.)
Well, guess it'll be another day waiting for my back brace to be delivered. I even checked with FedEx again yesterday afternoon, and it was stilled listed as being on truck, headed this way. Checked again around 6:30, with the online tracking, same thing.
Everyone take care, have a good morning, and see you all this afternoon.
We be up and at 'em today..a few chainsaws already poking at the uprooted trees and such...power was restored late last night to most residences...it was a fun evening here...today? Temperature going up to 77F with no humidity...

Good Evening..
Well..we got them ol' t'underin'boomers coming through here...trees down, lines down, neighbours garage blown over, tree on top of it....our back deck that we just put in squashed by big ol' poplar tree fell over...just lovely stuff here...oh...and one 3/4 hour monsoon dumped 4 inches of liquid sunshine on us....
Thank goodness our power has not gone out...yet.
Quentin: Hope she is resting comfortably....
We have 91 degrees at the NWS station at Louisville International Airport, formerly known as Standiford Field. Our indoor/outdoor thermometer is showing 90.3 degrees outside. But we do have a nice little breeze, not too hot, so it is at least bearable to be outside, as long as you're not doing a whole lot. Sitting here right now, at the computer, drinking a little carton of orange juice (and no, there's no vodka in it). Gave that up a long time ago.
Quentin, going to continue praying for you and Jean. Not quite non-stop, but every time I think of you two.
For supper tonight:
1. Salads: Caesar, tossed salad (plain, or you can have it with chicken, turkey , real pieces of bacon (rather than bacon bits), and whatever else you want in your salad
2. Barbecue sandwiches: beef or pork w/fries or tater chips and tossed salad
3. Grilled boneless chicken breasts w/mashed taters w/butter and a baby vegetable medley (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, snap peas)
Desserts:
1. strawberry shortcake
2. homemade banana pudding
3. Mixed fruit Jell-O w/whipped topping
Was supposed to receive my back brace today, but so far, still waiting for the delivery truck (FedEx seems to take their sweet time making deliveries). And I could really use that brace today, as my back is really aching.
Everyone have a good evening, enjoy your dinner/supper, keep as cool as possible and take care.
Thanks, Cannonball:
Jean's condition is, she is under sedation, and is stable. This a procedure, in prep for the last phase of the operation tomorrow. Then on to recovery.
This was a Colon operation.
Quentin; prayers headed your way for Jean and for you also.
Respectfully, Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
And again people....Thanks for all the Prayers. Seems we've needed them recently and quite often. But we're thinking positive, we'll get thru this.
Good Morning Railfans!
Currently 58F heading up to the low 80's and the Friday we jump back into the 90's YUK!
FIRE NEWS - Day 12: 68,200 areas and still growing westerly; that's roughly 106.5 Sq Miles
Now the third largest in Colorado history but the most destructive in homes lost. Within the next few days it will likely grow in be the second largest.
Good Thursday morning all. Sun is shining, supposed to get up to about 92, 93 degrees this afternoon, with rain/storms coming in around 7, 8 p.m. tonight. Just came in from the front porch, and you can feel the mugginess. No breeze at all, that I can detect.
Quentin, I'm so sorry that Jean is back in the hospital. Will be continuing to pray for you, her and rest of family, and hope she gets better soon.
On the geneaology front, somewhere around here, should be in Walt's filing cabinet upstairs, there is a history that one of my maternal uncles did on my mother's father's side of the family. Going to have to try to remember to get upstairs and find it. He did it about 20 years ago.
Coffee, juice and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. A light breakfast is on the breakfast bar.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, keep cool and hydrated, and see you all later on.
