Good Evening.
It has been dull and dribbly here all day...only got to 40F ...here in the mighty burg of dribbleville....tomorrow I will be heading in to get this latest session done and away with...

Good Friday morning all. 50 degrees here in Louisville this morning. No wonder I had trouble sleeping last night: woke up at 3:30, or just after, came downstairs, put the coffee on, fixed myself a cup, drank some, and then went back to sleep; woke up again at 6:50, so feeling a little bit better now.
Tom sorry about the mix up last night: guess I took Joe literally about it being his Friday night, and was thinking it was Friday for all of us!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go (made another pot of coffee), and breakfast is on the warmer station.
Does anyone have any suggestions for lunch/dinner tonight? Since I messed up last night, we'll make this a Meal Request Day for this afternoon/tonight.
BC, hope everything goes all right for you today! Sending prayers and thoughts your way.
Everyone take care, have a good morning, and see you all later. Time to go pay Bills for the month.
Good Morning
Another dull, drab, dribbly day for us'uns again....hopefully tomorrow will present us with a little yellow orb with blue sky for once.....
Today is the day for yet another session of chemo/radiation...if'n this one does not make me glow cherry red, well, I'd be awfully dang surprised.....
I'm going into my studio to put together another song, or two, or three.....
......Not drab here in central Indiana today...A bit of a cool start, and forecast to be just 50 this afternoon though. But blue sky and white puffy clouds are present and quite a bit of sunshine.
I'm wondering if I might be able to put on heavier sweat shirt, etc...and make a pass over my yard to {actually mow}, and mulch leaves in so doing....Been waiting for a bit warmfer temps., but doesn't appear to be any in the next few days.
We are thinking of all the people battered by this massive storm, and certainly hope help is reaching those still in great need....I know this is massive, and it will take time....Just hope every resource can come together and apply max. help....It sure seems like it's needed......And KEEP politics out of the recovery needs...!

Several local Facebook friends mentioned snow this morning, and the radar is showing some blue and white on Tug Hill.
None here that I know of, although it was a tad chilly this AM.
Back to the print shop, then into town for some bargains at the Halloween store. 30% yesterday, 40% today, and 50% tomorrow, except I'll be tied up at the train show in Syracuse.

Peace be with you. 72 and sunny in Caolina with a guess of 41 tonight.
Well, I voted for what's his face today, so that's that. The wife and I have voted absentee for the past few elections bcause we can't physically handle long lines. Saves wear and tear on the nerves too.
Talk on the news sez that some volunteer power crews were turned away from helping in the northeast because they didn't fit the box somebody wanted to fit them in. How that can be justified is something I will never understand
Everyone take care and have a great weekend
.....I saw that "news" too Tom of the question of the "crews" that weren't "accepted"....I don't know where the truth really is but "if" it's true....It's shameless....
They are flying crews and large utility trucks in from the west coast...{Believe they were using C5-A air craft}......
That 72 degrees sounds good...I actually did get my yard mowed {and mulched leaves at the same time}, this afternoon, in 50 degrees. But I had a heavy sweat shirt on and it was no problem at all....and really looks so much better. We're to have sunshine and mod. temps from Sunday thru Thursday upcoming week...
And knowing we turn back the clocks tomorrow night...Bummer....Looked out this evening at 7 pm...the western sky still had just a little light on the horizon...Sunday, that's the way it will appear at 6....Oh bummer.....
hi
busy day here in nw ohio.did get to see some trains too.Matt went with cousin Carlie trick or treating.(it was moved due to bad weather earlier this week.)Cw thanks for the snack.going to bed.Tomorrow is another busy day.

Joe
Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Good Evening...
Well, our weather up here was definitely not boring..if you wanted variation we had it..every ten minutes ago it would change. Literally. We had some sun, some cloud, nasty winds, not so nasty breezes, no wind at all, cold, warm, rain, snow, sleet...even hail. Oh..and a thunderin'boomer showed up as well to add a bit of spice to the mix...
And, I am not a cherry red glowstick so I be fine for the nonce...
Good Saturday morning all. Current temp this morning is in the mid/upper 30s to 40 degrees. Should see it climb back into the 50s for our high today.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And our Saturday Brunch is ready and on the warmer station.
Everyone remember to set your clocks BACK an hour tonight, before you go to bed!! In the morning, we'll be back to EST. Also remember to check your smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors, and change batteries, if needed.
Everyone have a good day, take care, and I'll see you all later for our pizza fest.

Getting some grocery shopping done today as well as getting some train time thrown into the mix as well. As well as some Spring time as he has decided to begin headbunting me here..
Well, we just finished having a thunderstorm move through; Walt had made a trip to the store, and got caught out in it. I, on the underhand, had just gotten through taking a shower. Glad I wasn't still in the shower when the thunder & lightning started: I might be a crispy critter now, and unable to be on/in here!

02. Canadian bacon
03. Cheese
04. Chicago style

Hope everyone has had a good day; take care, have a good evening, and see you all in the morning.
Good Sunday morning all, and I hope everyone remembered to set your clocks/watches back an hour last night! Current temp is in the low to mid 40s, going for a high again (and for most of this week) in the low to mid 50s.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the food bar this morning: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, bagels and bear claws.
Everyone have a good morning, take care going to work, Church, railfanning, etc., and I'll see you all sometime this afternoon.
time to get Matt up for church and Sunday school.they are having a brunch fundraiser for the Sunday school.Might go look for some trains after that.It's back to work tonight.
So here we go on the new time.....Hate to think of getting dark so early this evening. But guess that's the only way to work our way towards Spring...
32 degrees here earlier this morning...Believe that's the lowest this season.
Some sunshine peeking thru...and some of it is right on my computer screen right now. That's ok, we'll take it and enjoy.
About time to get ready for church....have plenty of relax time this morning, I note 4 of ;my clocks / watch successfully moved to the new time overnight. Interesting: Watched the hands of my watch move one hour back at 12:08 am. Don't know when the others changed.....They did not at that time.
And now still have a few around the house to manually set...2 vehicles too.
Frost on the grass a plenty this morning. But it's nice and bright out with our mid morning time here..
What a finish for our NBA Pacers last night....Double overtime....won by 8 points.
Wishing a good new week for all. Will Pray for the many still in serious trouble with the aftermath of Sandy.
Afternoon all. Sunday school & Church went well this morning, although the santuary was a little bit on the cool side this morning: a few of us kept/or put our coats back on.
Having something a little bit different for our Sunday Dinner:
I have set out various kinds of meats, cheeses, etc., and you can create your own subs/hoagies. Also fixed a meat loaf, mashed taters, beans, slaw, & garden salad, if anyone doesn't want a hoagie/sub.
Everyone have a good evening, take care and see you all in the morning.
I encountered SNOW on I-81 this morning on the way to the second day of the model train show in Syracuse. It was accumulating on the grass and trees, but the road was warm enough that it didn't cause problems.
It had all the appearances of good ole "lake effect."
The show went pretty well - plenty of information given out and lots of contact made.
One tool I use for corralling the kids is a plush "FRED," which includes a small door (just like our real versions). Fred doesn't flash, he smiles, and instead of a charging cord inside the door, the kids find candy. It's cute, and it gives mom and dad a chance to look over our display - and see what we have to offer for rides and events.
Marketing - you gotta love it.
I am glad that the show is over. Next up - The Polar Express!
.....Oh my...just finished a great phone call from out east.....How wonderful...it's keeping my going. Our Lord is good.
But one problem...A friend over in Levittown with her fellow on oxygen and very sick, I've not heard from since the storm....We were exchanging emails prior to that every day...and now no word from her yet......
I did email her to get in touch with the authorities she has a very weak person on oxygen before the mess hit, so maybe....I sure hope so, they may have been evacuated....
Here....a cool day in the upper 40's and mostly dry....some sun, now and then.
And now....the possibility of another system coming close to the same area again.....Lord I hope the projections are wrong.
Tomorrow I have the pleasure to go and have another root canal started.
Best to all for a good new week.
Good Monday morning all. 33 degrees here in Louisville this morning, going for a high in the low 50s again for most of this week, probably until Thursday, when we'll be back into the 60s for highs.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is also ready and on the warmer station.
It's going to be a busy, busy week around home. Have several things that need to be gotten done, as well as a couple of regular doctor appointments for myself. So, if you don't see me back in today, you'll know why.
You all have a good day, take care and see you all later.
Good Morning.
...or so it appears. We are supposed to be having cloudy periods but it looks more like another dull dull dull dull day for us....high at 47F forecast....
Yesterday was my not doing anything day..ended up in emergency with chest pains again...so today is going to be another slooooooooooowwww day for this'un ....
morning
a quick trip to town this morning.sunshine and 40's today.need to get to bed.work is getting busy again.A deex train was in the siding when I got to work.When I left I saw a westbound amtrak train with a private car on the back.Cw thanks for breakfast.
Reports from friends and acquaintances on the affected areas indicate that it really is a mess there. Of course, there's always some controversy.
One guy I saw this past weekend said that his office, in NW Jersey, was still without power, as it appears that restoration efforts are focusing on the coastal areas.
A local forum offers sympathy, but not too much, for those "inconvenienced" (as opposed to those who suffered losses - some significant), especially since we went through the Ice Storm in '98 (7-10 days without power for most - longer for some) with a fraction of the controversy that seems to be occurring in the affected areas.
I'm sure that everyone is doing their best to make things better, but I suspect that for some folks, the issue is that it hasn't already been made to be "like it never happened" yet.
Sunshine to start our day earlier....and 28 degrees. But no wind, and the sunshine is melting the frost.
Now it's time {after being on here now for a while}, to get ready to have the great experience of another root canal start this morning in about a half hour. Best to all for a good week. Must run.
Good Evening
Our weather gave us what we expected. Plenty of dull dull dull dull and not much else...tomorrow the sun will show...for a few seconds....
Today was a slooooooooooowwwwww day for me. even my mall walking was slow..instead of my usual trip to Springbank Park it was a trip to the mall and a couple of easy laps around the shops...the chest pains turned out to be something I never heard of.....pulled chest muscles...must have been from lifting a few things into the closet shelves....oh joy....
Anyways...gonna go and see what is up on the forums now...have a good evening!!!
hhhmmmmmpppphhh.
Well, still up...and have a meeting to go to later this morning...
Supposed to be partly sunny today....since we had dull dull dull dull yesterday...I am expecting two sunny periods...both 5 seconds each...one at sunrise...the other at sunset....
All the breakfast goodies are out and ready..lunch will be getting prepped a little later....
If'n you are doing the early morning thing..try to have a good day!!
Good Tuesday morning all. 40 degrees here in Louisville this morning, going for a high in the low 50s again. Should see a mix of sun and clouds, becoming more cloudy as the afternoon rolls around, with a chance of some rain sometime after 6 p.m. tonight.
EVERYONE REMEMBER TO GO TO THE POLLS TODAY, AND CAST YOUR BALLOT.
REMEMBER, IF YOU DON'T VOTE, DON'T COMPLAIN!!
BC, thank you very much for taking care of breakfast this morning! I really appreciate the help you guys give in here.
Everyone have a good day, take care, and I'll see you all this afternoon.
ns has a crane parked in the edc siding and the local was parked at the meyers road siding.saw a nice long frieght train while cleaning off the windshield.came home and got matt of to school.we also went and voted.time for bed.BC thanks for breakfast.cw thanks for supper later.
A good start for our Tuesday here....Bright sunshine and a bright blue sky. 30 degrees earlier with frost.
Guess my next task will be to go vote. Believe I'll try for between 10 and 10:30 and see if that might keep the line at a min. Before the lunch crowd.
No wind here this morning....Wonder if that's because the massive political blasts have subsided.....
Hope it warms up a bit so I can do at least one more mowing....It's looking pretty good now, but one more run would get the last of this season's leaves. I had less work with them this year than most....Perhaps the winds did a lot of the job for me.
And if I can do one more mowing, the trimmed grass will allow any more to blow on easier...
Hope we have a good clean vote process across the country today....We all know there has been efforts to the contrary, but lets hope that will be very minimum. Better yet, none at all.
