Got a little bit of time left in 2012, but doubt that I'll be able to keep my eyes open until midnight; so, I've gotten everything moved, and here we are in our new quarters for the upcoming New Year.
Hope everyone is keeping safe and taking care with their New Year's Eve celebrations.
Welcome to the 2013, and lets all keep SAFE, HEALTHY, AND HAPPY!!
Good Evening...
Well, with the sounds of chaos and mayhem in the background..ambulance and firetrucks...we got home just an hour ago from all the dang CT scans and other testing that needed done...now I'm just relaxing by the fireplace...mmmmmm...right down the street the thing went...oh joy....
So far it looks like the cancer thing was a bad memory...thank goodness...

Eleven minutes to midnight. Looks like my FD did 118 calls last year. Now I've got to pull some stats off that to report to the Fire District.

Middle daughter Elizabeth took us all out to eat at Salt Gras Steak house, got me a huge cheese cake for my birthday…I shared, some of it, kinda….
My sides hurt and I think I OD’ed on cheesecake, but it is a glorious way to go!
Hope all of the fine folks here have a great New Year, may you all receive the blessings and grace you all deserve!

Happy New Years!!!
Happy New Year Everyone!
It is 25° F with a slight breeze here tonight. We have more snow on the ground, for a longer period, than we have had in years, it seems like. But the forecast for the next week is sunny with highs in the 30-32° range.
Everyone have a great year.

I just heard a guy walking past my building YA-hooing! I guess he is enjoying his New Years Eve celebrations!

Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, and hot tea are all ready to go.Breakfast of bacon, eggs, biscuits & gravy are ready and on the warmer station.

Good Morning
Well, we are up...that is about it.
Kinda ccold and raw today but we are seeing a curious yellow orb this morning..high of 25F expected...low of 16F later
We did do the shiveree thing and got a little silly here...went through the neighbourhood collecting all sorts of people and ended up with a bit of a parade through the neigbourhood.. Now, if'n you did this this morning you would get old shoes, clocks, a few bottles and bricks...

I usually am in bed and fast asleep well before midnight, but I was still awake last night when some people around here began making noise. At first, I wondered what was going on, and then remembered what it was. At least, no one around here used a shotgun to celebrate.
Many years ago, Ricki and I would try to watch the celebration in each time zone, but that grew old--especially when a rerun of the New York City event was used for the Central Time event. When I was in the fourth grade, I listened to the Eastern Time event, then counted 3600 and tried to find a Chicago station on the radio by my bed, but failed to find one; perhaps I should have tried to find a New Orleans station (when I was in high school, I would go to sleep listening to WWL, and wake up to a station in Kannapolis, N.C., which broadcast on the same frequency in the daytime (Kannapolis was less than a hundred miles from where I grew up n S. C.)
Happy New Year everybody!

Good Evening
We just finished up dinner here...pork tenderloin done to perfection with 'taters and grilled veggies..yes, we even grilled the veggies and tenderloin out on the BBQ...I did not say we were normal here...
Actually got some traintime this afternoon as well...so it was a well rounded day here...
well not the best of days for the ole conference yesterday.Back to school for Matt.back to work for us tonight.Mother nature has us chilly but no new snow to come.Going to see what we can see trackside then come home for a nap.Breakfast is ready.Juice and coffee are ready.
Joe
Good Wednesday morning all. Sounds like everyone survived New Year's Eve fairly well. Girls came back from their Mama's yesterday, nephew went home with his Mama, and things are back to normal.
Joe, thanks for taking care of breakfast this morning. Coffee really hits the spot this morning: our current temp is probably 31, 32 degrees here in "Sheeptown" this morning, but the wind chills are in the teens to low/mid 20s, depending on area you're in. Some areas are seeing wind chills in the single digits, though. Glad we're not in that area.
Everyone take care, have a good day, and see you all later.
.....Finally, thru the holidays. Now things can migrate back to our normal routine. We have a bright sunshiny morning here in central Indiana, but.....It's cold..! First read, I saw 10 degres but calm wind. As Joe mentioned, our weather pattern is to be stead, calm now for several days...Big High Pressure systems now in control....Slight "warming" trend as we go forward this week.
Now we'll look forward to all necessary papers arriving to accumulate necessary info for income tax prep. Dig out of files that which is annual....and start fresh.
Again, wishing a Good New Year to all on here. At least we didn't "totally" fall off the cliff, and we're here to continue.

Spent a portion of New Year's Day scanning photos from my junior high yearbooks and posting them on the Facebook page for my old hometown in Michigan. They've generated quite a lot of chatter.
I, too, am waiting for the appropriate tax documents to show up so I can do my annual duty. Gotta do the inventory for my small business, too (15 minutes, tops).
I think we have some snow flurries in the forecast, but nothing major. Looks like there's some lake effect going on well to the south of us. Right now it's nice and sunny, if cold. And there's an east wind, which rarely bodes well, weatherwise.
Stuff to do!
It was a very busy day for me...had to run to the office first thing this morning and get some paperwork together so that I could start on our final year report...talk about a mess of paperwork...3 boxes full....
Weather here be cccold and dreary...with little tiny snowflurries around and abouts...
Have a good evening!!
In 2013 I'm thinking about old Corneil and Uncle Dan'l looking down on us. He's a little hazy but in the background I think I see Jay Gould.
Good Thursday morning all. Very cold this morning here in Shepherdsville, low 20s, and 3 different water main breaks in downtown Louisville, is what I was greeted with, when I turned on the TV.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is also ready and on the warmer station: bacon, sausage, bagels, bear claws, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy; also have oatmeal and toast for anyone who wants that this morning.
Even though I am NOT a U of L fan, wishing the university and students/fans Congratulations on winning the Sugar Bowl last night.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, keep safe and see you all later.
thanks for breakfast.Ns has an autorack train in the siding at work.Work is real busy again as expected.off to bed I must go.
Good Morning...*yawn*...
I need a strong coffee this morning...Do we still have raw caffeine in an IV bag? We do? Good...I'll have one of them thankye...
A mix of sun/cloud is greeting us this morning...high of 23F expected...low tonight is 15F...right now it is the mighty 13F....
Got to get cracking on them report papers...distill them down to a couple of binders ..then next week a few meetings/presentations to get to...with Powerpoint's for the lot.....oy....
Have to get runnin'...have a good day...
I think we've done Gatorade via IV - no reason we couldn't do coffee.
The upper sensor for my home weather station showed -19F overnight. The lower sensor is much closer to the ground and only got down to about -10F.
Several projects today. Better get to work.

Larry, am I remembering correctly the official weather service standard location for temp pick up is: 5 ft. off the ground surface. For years my brother tended an official weather "station" on the property where our Esso Station was and I seem to remember that figure.....

A nice dull snowy day was had by us today....cccold and windy as well...sigh

Spent the day at the office getting some stuff sorted out and ready for the grand project..and seeing whether or not my new office computer was going to work with some older software....which it did...phew....
good morning

Weather here is just the same as ever...dull and ccold...and snowy....high of 30F expected...low of 25F.......like to see some sun on occasion....
Another day of fun at the office...4 boxes distilled down into 2 binders and a couple of Powerpoint things...yay....
Well, off I go to Get-R-Done
Nasty, nasty, nasty this morning, although you wouldn't know it here at the house, where it's merely cold and blustery.
"Up on top of the hill," in areas where the roads border large fields, the winds are running at 25 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH (actual measurements), causing drifting and poor visibility - blizzard conditions.
We were sent to one such area this morning for a car off the road. After I got home from that, at least two other vehicles went off the road in the same area.
Good day to stay home...
Wow....so much difference in our morning here from Larry's NY site...Sky is totally blue, clear and plenty of sunshine. Temps warming. 19 for low when I looked earlier this morning. To be in a slight warming trend line now.
Quentin; sounds like a Zippity Doo Dah Day for you in your house. Stay warm if you go train watching.
Respectfully, Cannonball
