Welcome to our new home for next 3 months! Hope everyone had a good weekend, and a Blessed Easter. And, Happy Easter to all our Canadian friends today!
Everyone have a good day, take care and see you all later.
It doesn't feel like April, but it certainly is....However, we have bright sunshine today and that is welcome. Forecast is for more sunshine as week unfolds too....Tomorrow, cooler yet, but then a warming trend.
I now note my grass is starting to grow....but I don't have it rolled yet....Must, must get that accomplished somehow......
Everyone, enjoy our new Spring month...it surely, will get warmer....Probably, go right into Summer.

You're right, Quentin: it doesn't feel like April, with the chilly temps. But like you in Muncy, here in Shepherdsville, and the Louisville Metro areas, the sun is shining brightly.
I have gotten one load of clothes in the washer, and are drying. Have my bedspread in the washer, and when I get it into the dryer, will wash the rest of the bedclothes, then my regular laundry. The first load that's in the dryer, are some of my brother's, sil's and girls regular clothes. Keeping myself busy today; for some strange reason, have plenty of energy today. That doesn't happen often, unless my Indian temper is on the warpath, which doesn't happen too often, and isn't the case today.
Have some quesadillas and other Mexican dishes on the warmer bar for your noontime meal. Will have more of the same for supper tonight.
Everyone have a great afternoon, take care, and see you all later.
The rain quit this morning, and the skies are mostly clear, but the wind is blowing pretty good and the temps are dropping, with the prognosticators indicating a chance of snow.
My last pile of snow is slowly melting away.
Gotta go deal with an intermittent headlight, before I get a ticket when it decides to go out as I'm passing a patrol car.

Available - pickle bucket with lid. Need coffee to fill - trying to stay within my one cup limit.
Have one eye looking at the other - and that's my good one. The sick one has allergies. Has been known to get pink eye. Wonder where it goes when I am not watching it?
Growing up, my Dad used to tell me stories of animals of all kinds getting onto tracks and tangling with steam, diesel - whatever the flavor of the decade was. I wish I could tell him that here in Nebraska, we have farm equipment (center pivot) that "walked" out on to the tracks and was hit by Amtrak!
Passengers, crew and Amtrak were ok. CP didn't survive! Funeral will be in court!
Having read that - now you see why I need my pickle bucket filled!

Peace be with you. 63 and sunny in Carolina this afternoon. Yesterday, it made it to 75.
Neither of us here feel to good. The wife spends a lot of time at the chiropractor's and I am forever getting stove up for some reason or other. We get around like a pair of refugees from a geriatric facility!
Nothing further to report. End, no more, out

Good afternoon all. Had my great nephew here today. His Mama had to Meemaw to doctor appt., and then took her shopping. So I agreed to watch him for her. He was a good boy, didn't have any trouble with him.
Mookie, enjoyed your story. Need some more of them. And Tom, hope you & the Mrs. get to feeling better soon.
The sunshine looks/feels good today, but it is still too cool outside. I was outside for awhile, while nephew was playing basketball in the driveway.Everyone take care, keep safe and have a good evening.
Madam LaMook - maybe you can talk he of the dirty feathers into letting you borrow his Gatorade container...
Cold here all day - and windy, with a bite. It snowed here a couple of times, just so it could say that it did.
Sitting at the ambulance squad waiting for a call for help.
Had a fire in the next district over last night - ended up burning the house, barn, and several outbuildings, in addition to the elderly couple's car. They were saved by a couple of state troopers who just happened to pass by. It was no longer a working farm. Fifteen fire departments called in, mostly for tankers as there are no hydrants there.
Good Wednesday morning everyone. Very chilly here in 'Sheeptown' this morning: 34 degrees, and clear skies. Supposed to make it up to a cool 55 degrees this afternoon.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar.
In a couple of hours, I'll be busy paying Bills their monthly allotment, then going to the store, and babysitting great nephew later this afternoon for about an hour, while his mommy goes to a meeting.
Good Morning...
Sunny but still cold. Sigh. Maybe tomorrow....
Have a few things to do today...pay bills, do banking,get groceries, work on those tax thingees, then trains...heeheehee
Matt is off to camp.chores to do later.getting better and better outside each day.
No calls for help last night until after I went off duty.
Another sunny day. And cold. And windy. The weatherguessers are promising us higher temps but they're awfully slow in coming.
Of course, all this wind and sun is drying things out nicely, which means we'll probably get to use our new brush truck sooner rather than later, despite a statewide burn ban that's been in effect each spring for four years now.
Which reminds me, I need to update the FD website!
.....Most reports are referring to cold but sunny weather....We can add our day very similar. Too cold for this time of the year....Been running up to 20 plus degrees some days below normal.
However....A warm-up is {they say}, on the way with perhaps touching 70 next week.
My first order of the day was to my dentist this morning, to re do a front tooth that must have been cracked and came apart last evening....I was wondering if it could even be repaired, so later this morning we were out of the dentist...in 1hr...16min....and a brand new temp crown....and looking very good, and no problems at all. Permanent one in about 2 weeks. Very happy it could be redone.
good morning
quiet here.Matt is still at camp.Tonight will be Friday.NS busy last night and this morning.Chores and errands later.
Joe
Joe - 2 questions - how long will Matt be at camp and how do you watch trains w/o him?
Inching up on warmer the rest of this week. They still tell us not to get out our kini's quite yet....
Not to worry - kini will stay in band-aid box....
Sunshine, but still not warm enough.....
Modelcar Sunshine, but still not warm enough.....

Friday.things to do.Mom has gone to the store.going to go enjoy the sunshine.
Speaking of Mookinis....SJ, I saw a picture on Facebook of two kitties basking on beach chairs. They had their 'kinis on, and each 'kini outfit had four tops!

Evening all.......
Busy day today, went over to my grandparents house and went through all his model railroad items, transported most of it to my house. Also brought over his layout, which he based off of a project layout done in MR in 1982. It made it over intact, though we had less than an inch of clearance moving it down the stairs into my basement. Now, the fun part is cleaning it, and getting everything to work on it again.......

Breakfast is ready.Getting ready to go to sisters house.Will see what CSX has on the toledo sub today on the way.
Good Saturday morning everyone! Beautiful sunshine, and temps are mild this morning. Beginning to see more trees & bushes starting to bud. And yes, allergies are going haywire, as I've been sneezing for the last 2 1/2 hours.
Joe, thanks for breakfast, and you all have a great day w/the family.
I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend, enjoy the somewhat warmer temps and sunshine. Take care, and hopefully, I'll be back in later to get the pizza fest ready for this evening.
The sun showed up bright and early this morning, but he forgot to bring along his companion, warm. A whole +18F right now. It's supposed to be much nicer tomorrow, but it's also supposed to rain. So much for working on the yard, although at this point that's pretty much limited to picking up a few branches and the like.
Commercial train show in Syracuse this weekend. Might run down today.
