Randy - someone ought to murder Nebraska!

Mookie - when I checked the score at halftime, I seriously thought it was a typo. Still can't believe the final.

Cooler already today, and I don't think we're supposed to get any too warm.

Attended a training session on EMS helicopter operations last night.  No helicopter, though, as it was raining and foggy.  Darn.

Christmas party at a former workplace today - a chance to see some old friends.

Things to go, places to do.  Must hurry.

Well, our last warm day for awhile.  Not exactly cold in future - but 40's is a lot different than 60's.

Re: Nebraska football - we really can't complain (who would listen anyway)  We still win more than we lose and as a state, we can go a whole year without making any news in any paper until football season, so there really isn't any reason to fuss.  We adore our coach and our games are always sold out.  Sometimes on away games, the Husker fans almost outnumber the home fans. 

And who knew the bus doors would accidentally get locked before all the team got off...

Lots to do today.  Must visit the bank and spread the wealth!

Good Evening

I'm also in the process of rethinking the layout plans...yep...again...Sigh This time I think I am going to buy one of the plan books and see what I can conjure out of that....Dunce

It was a dull grey day here with little stips of sunlight...but a few snow streamers and wind set in, just to make one chilled....blech...

Anyhow, have a good evening ....

Congrats Joe - one more family member and you can start your own state! 

Rain in area, just not much and not hitting the ground.  Sending it on east.  Nice weather pretty much gone. 

CW - got your ears on?  Rockers?  Porch?  In the always perfect world of the diner?

Chilly but mostly clear today.  Could use a dusting of snow by Friday night at the "North Pole," though.

My Christmas present to myself came in last night - a tablet computer.  Still playing with it, but it should make me even lazier Hmm since I can now sit in my recliner and surf the net while I'm watching TV...

Using the "regular" computer is still easier, though.

My smartphone is set up as a wifi hot spot, though, so even if I'm someplace without wifi, I can still get on line.

I'm curious to see if I can adapt it to fire and EMS.

Joe - Congrats on the addition to your extended family!

Hi there everybody!!  Yes, Mookie, got my ears on today; haven't been on this week, as I've been fighting a sore throat, haven't felt like sitting at the desk to do much of anything on the computer, until late in the day.But knew that I had to make it in today to say. . . . . HAVE A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOOKIE, with many happy returns coming your way today and always.  Happy B-Day Happy B-Day Happy B-Day Happy B-Day

I have baked a full size sheet cake, chocolate, with white icing, and plenty of train decorations on it.  That will be cut after you all have eaten the regular Friday Fish Fry. 

And Joe, congrats to the newest addition to your extended family!

Have a great afternoon, take care, and if you're like Kentucky and getting off and on rain showers, stay dry.  Right now, not getting any rain, but that will probably change, when I leave the house to get Alli off the school bus at 12:30.

Well, think I'm going to break down and see if I can either schedule an appointment with me GP, or find one here in Shepherdsville.  This confounded head cold I've had for a couple of weeks, seems to be getting worse, not better.  Can't lie down at night, without coughing and coughing and getting up to go to the bathroom to spit up the drainage. and wipe my nose.  I've tried Musinex, hasn't helped, tried cough syrup., hasn't help, and even tried Nyquil, and it hasn't even helped me rest at night.  I need some relief.  Anway, here is our Saturday Night Pizza Fest menu:

01.  Anchovie

02.  Chicago style

03.  Goetta

04.  Ham & green pepper

05.  Hawaiian

07.  Italian sausage

08.  Pepperoni/mushroom

09.  Supreme

Hope everyone enjoys the pizzas for tonight, have a good evening, and maybe later, someone could fix some hot chocolate, and pop some popcorn?

I got a box of tissues and some chocolate milk.  Heating is optional?

Hope you get to feeling better, CW.  A sniffy nose is no fun. 

Cold weather is coming tonite.  Winter has arrived - sort of.....

Girls are off to school and a nice, hot bowl of oatmeal and some buttered toast sounds real good.  Currently, we are rain free, but temp is 45 degrees and will be falling throughout the day.  Sis-in-law is now hobbling around.  Twisted her knee yesterday, getting behind the couch to pull out the baby's toys she's put back there to play with (knowing that she's not to be playing back there). 

For lunch/supper, I have a nice big pot of vegetable beef soup going on the stove top.  Closer to noon time, I'll mix up some cornbread and put it into the oven to bake.  Anything else you all want today? 

Mookie, guess all I needed to do was to make the threat of calling doctor this morning.  Sore throat is gone and cough is much improved, but is still hanging around  a bit. 

Everyone have a good morning, take care and see you all later.

Good morning all.........Our day appears to be very familiar with the last 2 days...Overcast, believe mostly rising fog.  Not too much on the surface, and when I first looked it was 40 degrees....So far, no harsh Winter type weather here.  So we'll hope we don't see the same stuff I noted on TV earlier up in Wis. and Minn....About a foot of the stuff, and roads in snowy condition....
