Good Wednesday morning everyone. We currently have a temp in the mid 40s to start our day, but the downside is, we have light rain this morning; should be out of here around 9 or so this morning.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go: I'm already drinking a freshly brewed cup. Breakfast is also ready (woke up around 4:30, so got up & turned off the alarm).
Hope you all enjoy your day, stay dry if you're to have rain, take care, keep safe and see you all later.

Even though today is Wednesday, I don't have my little charge today. She spent last night w/her uncle & his sig.other; they brought her back home, but she decided she wanted to spend the day with them, rather than here at home with Grandma, Pawpaw and my. So another quiet day around here.
For the rest of the day, here is what I've come up with:
1. Roast, taters, carrots w/slaw and dinner rolls or homemade buttermilk biscuits
2. Country-fried steak w/mashed taters, biscuits and milk gravy
3. Grilled 2 in. thick pork chops w/baked taters, salad and broccoli casserole
Hope you all enjoy, have a good afternoon & evening. Take care and see you all later.

good night
Putting in a shelf for the computer monitor at the fire station, and waiting for the poly to dry.
Also had to print off our equipment inventory, after doing some updating. Every time I look at the darned I find something else that needs to be tweaked. The guy who put the information in the computer did a great job, but sometimes his naming was a little inconsistent. Not that there's any in the inventory, but an example would be listing the common table fork as "table fork" one time, then "dinner fork" another. Same item, but it really screws up reconciling everything.
Busy, busy, busy.
Thought I'd cured my birds-inside-the-feeder problem, but one managed to find its way in today again.

JoeKohain here in nw ohio.then the wind will blow this afternoon. maybe a high of 60 tomorrow?
I live on the east coast in New Jersey. Sunday's high is predicted to be 62. Yet this is the dead of winter. Other years the temperature has been in the teens with lows in the single digits this time of year.
Well...Evening...sorta...
Need to find few more things for the reports but...as of now...t'is the weekend!!!
Just got home to San Antonio from Shreveport.
Its nice here...currently 68
Enjoy your weekend!
good morning

joe
Variably cloudy with a chance of a shower later on..high not nearly as warm as some of you...about 55F expected..but Sunday will get only to 36F and continue down from there....
Have some friends coming over for supper later on ...that is about it for today...
Have a good one!!
Today I brought a bag of fertilizer for my lawn. It has been in the high 40's. I was thinking of putting it down. The only thing holding me back is that in New Jersey it is illegal to fertilize your lawn before March 1.
Good Evening...
Got nice and warm up here today...and really sunny...in fact we ended up having a BBQ outside on our back deck tonight...under the stars.....beautiful evening out here....
Have a good evening peeps!!

Mookie Really?
Really?
I had to look it up myself...
According to New Jersey's fertilizer law, as of November 15 residents cannot apply fertilizers containing nitrogen or phosphorus to their lawns until next spring (March 1). Commercial fertilizer applicators must complete their customer service cycle of late fall nitrogen or phosphorus fertilization by December 1 and cannot apply them again until March 1. All other materials, such as products containing potassium, lime and composts, are still legal to apply during the blackout dates of November/December through March.
Whodathunk?
weather will change today.temps to drop and roads are going to get slick.As far as fertilizer grand lake(Lake st mary's) has a problem with algae due to run off from area farmland.it is so bad they are going to limit what types of fertilizer farmers can use.They have also found algae blooms In Lake Erie near Put in Bay.It was so bad last summer they had to bring their water in by barge.Breakfast is all set.Off to church and Sunday school.Back to work tonight.
....and a good morning to all here...
ahern....try this again....the weather here be all raining and getting ccolder later on...back to winter.....
Today is going to be my resting day..as in do nothing but my trainroom stuff..a.lot of running of trains is on the agenda here...heeheehee
58 degrees when I headed to bed last night...and now we're in the 40's. Copious amounts of rain overnight....I see a large area of water on the Fairway behind me this morning, and to achieve that, it takes a large amount of rain.
Have taken my rain gauge in for the Winter, so as of yet, I don't know just how much rain we did get....We're on the edge of a large front moving up across the mid section of the country separating cold and much warmer.
With a little luck, we'll not see much to be concerned about here, but if it moves just slightly east, we will see some....snow...freezing rain, but not expected to be any large effects as I understand it now....Some sunshine coming this new week.
Must get ready for church....Best to all for a good week.

Good Sunday morning to all. Just cloudy here right now in Shepherdsville. When I woke up this morning, the rain was coming down pretty good. But our temps are to slowly drop throughout the day, til we have a temp Monday morning somewhere in the 30s, and could see a snow flurry or two. I did notice in the back yard, a couple of areas that have water now ponding, particularly under the black walnut tree. Everyone take care, keep safe and have a good day.
Well, never thought I would be discussing fertilizer (Thanx Tree), but I think Joe answered our question.
We have a big city "pond" that is part of our drainage system. We get run off from rain, plus farm land - which is all higher than we are and do have a problem with algae during hot, still months. Surrounding lakes have the same problem and they all sit in between acres and acres of farmland. So I can see why they would want to limit fertilizing.
Predicting more drought for us this summer, so don't know if we will have any water left to algae....
Loving no snow, but I know it will come back to bite us down the road.

The reason why the lake was built was to drain the area and the extra canal water.Very simple what gets put into it affects what people get out of it.
In the late 50's and early 60's a major contributor to the "atmosphere" at my aunt's cottage on Lake Ontario was "moss," as we called it. The great green masses would come in in rafts, washing ashore, clogging up water lines (most cottages use lake water for utility water) and piling up on shore. This would also foul boat launches/ramps and stunk to high heaven, no matter what one tried to do.
I remember one fellow in his power boat with a grappling hook, trying to break up the rafts so they didn't wash ashore all in one place.
While there's still some moss washing ashore from year to year, it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Credit for that goes to the reduction of fertilizer runoff.
The power of suggestion doth prevail, (black walnut) as in cake. White cake w/ chocolate icing or yellowcake w/white icing and a dollop of vanilla ice cream. What do you think would be best?? With that on the plate , hot coffee.

That is pretty much the reason for the New Jersey law although it is suburban lawns that really cause the the run off. Now our soaps and detergents must be free of phosphorus because that his caused a lot of algae growth, especially in Barnegat Bay. With lawn fertilizer it is important not to apply too much and especially important not to let it fall on any paved area where it will just dissolve and run off in the rain.
Good Evening
mmm...we ended up kind of wet here...tomorrow will be much colder...with no snow in forecast..so lots of ice and such is the name of the game around here...many ice puddles...
Today was a do nothing day here...good to have those on occasion...
John: I am glad to see states taking care of the water. I know our fire department works really hard to keep all but water out of our storm sewer system. It is taken very seriously when gasoline or paint gets loose.
Had a huge afternoon. Went grocery shopping, out to eat at Outback (yum) for our anniversary (it was in November, but we were looking the other way and missed it.) then to the car wash to give Millie a bath (nose plugs and goggles for her) and then to the park to watch a squirrel peeking in the window to see if there were any acorns in the front seat.
Driver is wondering how long it will be until a squirrel figures out how to open those new latches on hatchback vehicles that use your toe to open.
Militant squirrels!
It's good to read the reports of warm weather in such places as northern Kentucky, central Indiana, northern Ohio, and southwest Ontario. You should move to northern Utah. When I got into my car this morning to go to church, the temperature inside was 9, and the outside temperature on the way was about 6. We were expecting the temperature to perhaps get up to 20 during the day--and we will have the same or colder all week long because another high pressure cell has moved in to keep the air pollution close to the ground and keep the really snow-melting warming rays of the sun out--it will be warmer at the ski resorts than down in the valley. We had more snow Thursday and Friday nights (5 1/2 inches in my yard Friday morning, and maybe an inch more Saturday morning--Katie had 12 inches in her yard Friday morning). At least, I do not live in one of the "sinks" northeast of here which will have temperatures of about minus twenty or so.
Katie is moving to our house tomorrow, and once I have been able to get the books I want packed and the rest of the books and such furniture that I will not have room for disposed of, I will move. Then we will both live above the area that is affected by the high pressure that comes in after such a storm (and, perhaps, have more snowfall).
