Hmmm...Interesting.

The "Point of Order" thread has apparently been "nuked."

What did you expect? Both of those threads - you could hear the keys rattling from way off. Will they ever learn?...................

Problem was...the thread was in good taste.

Makes no sense at all that it should have been nuked.

Good Morning

Dull dull dull is our word or today...oh...and little tiny snowflurries as well this afternoon...yay.

Ok..we had another one of those BrokenPipeVille incidents here yesterday...not much fun to be had when most of it turning into slushy goop...this lot occurred down the road from our crescent...which, of course, meant that we had no water for  few hours...again...sigh...Bang Head

Good Friday morning all.  Cold still here in Shepherdsville, with temps in the 30 - 32 range.  At least there's no wind, or any moisture coming down from the clouds.  That is supposed to start around 5 p.m. EST this afternoon.  Anywhere from 1 to 3 inches for this area, less for south of us.

Joe, thanks for the breakfast, and the coffee!!  Everyone have a good day, take care, stay warm & toasty if you can, and see you all later.

Nice and sunny, and... not as cold as I'd expect given clear skies overnight.  A balmy 23 as I type.

Hopefully it's a decent day tomorrow, as several of us will be headed to Webster to pay our respects.

....Just overcast.  Temp about 28...Seems it's moved just one or two degrees in the past several days.  Dry this morning.  Street in front of the house, bare....and so is my driveway.  Sunshine took care of both yesterday, even though it was a few degrees below freezing.

BOC - doctor appt yesterday (stay with me) - our doctor is a tiny, elf-like lady - always so sweet and cheerful.  She had been off for a few days, which had necessitated our rescheduling the appointment.  Found out that her 90 pound "puppy" (as she put it) pulled out some kind of plumbing in their yard (maybe sprinkler system) and it flooded their basement. 

Driver laughed and said 90 pound puppy?  I can't imagine her walking her "puppy" on a leash.

Good Saturday morning all.  Here in Shepherdsville, we have maybe somewhere between 1/2 to 1 in. of snow (that's what it looks like from my bedroom window).  The girls are up, have looked out my bedroom window, and looking forward to going outside after breakfast. 

Just in case I don't make it back in later this afternoon, I have plenty of pizzas (all labeled as to what kind), in the freezer; they just need to be put into the oven.  Everyone take care, have a good morning, and see you all later.

It was a long day, including driving three hours each way in some pretty lousy conditions and a three hour wait in line, but it was for a noble cause - pay our respects to the two West Webster, NY firefighters who died at the hands of a gunman on Christmas Eve.

Estimates of those attending the afternoon calling hours alone run to 5000, that on top of an overflow crowd on Friday evening, and an upcoming (at least while we were there) evening session..

Despite the grim reason for the gathering, it was a fantastic show of the brotherhood that is firefighting.

The two other firefighters injured in the attack arrived via ambulance while we were waiting so as to pay their respects as well.

Our contingent travelled to an area fire station and rode their busses to the location of the calling hours.  While we were gone, in-station personnel took the time to wash the fire trucks we had travelled there in.

Good Sunday morning all.  Joe, thanks for taking care of breakfast and putting the roast on for Sunday Dinner. 

Larry, sounds like a very good turnout for the visitation yesterday.  My condolences to their families, and also to their fire dept. family as well. 

Joe, the weather guessers are predicting 1 to 3 inches for us (here in Shepherdsville, we could end up getting it as a winter mix).  I definitely don't like the sound of that, but there's not a thing I can do about it, so guess we'll just have to wait and see what we do get.

The sun is shining now, but temps are in the low 20s, and we'll be lucky to see a high of about 30 degrees this afternoon.

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