Johnny - knowing the timing of Amtrak thru here - and if you are awake - just wave. There isn't much to see in the dark and quiet, so get your beauty sleep.

Walt, I do not what the site is; you may be able to find it by searching; a few weeks ago I found a site that can be used to see if any of your relatives did serve in the War for Southern Independence (I even plugged some of Ricki's family's names in, and they came up in the probably appropriate states (Ohio and Pennsylvania). I did know what regiment my grandfather and his brother were in, and found them (I also found reference to a book that was solely about their regiment, and bought it). If there were any men of military service age in your family, you may be able to track them down. I, of course , never saw my father's father (he died in 1926), but I did know that he was in the Army of Northern Virginia (as it was known after the Seven Days' Battle).
BOC, that certainly looks like a magnificent desk; it reminds me somewhat of the desk I made for Ricki so her writing surface would not shake when she had to erase something (she was using half of a hollow core door that was supported by screw-on legs). Not having access to 42" wide boards, I cut a sheet of mahogany veneered plywood down to 42' by 78", built a frame of 2x6's and one 2x4 to support it, and used 4x4's for the legs. It does not shake at all. The movers did not complain of the weight when they brought it up to where Katie and I now live.

It was snowing when Katie and I left the house about 2:30 yesterday morning, and it was sbnowing when we boarded the trai for Chicago--but not as hard as it was when Ricki and Ileft for Sacramento two years ago; I then had to stop from time to time and lift the two suitcases over the mound of snow each had piled up. Yesterday, we outran the snowfall by the time we started down the Front Range, and I do not recall any rain, even, today.
Mookie, it is just as well I did not invite you to come down and wave as we passed through Lincoln--I slept all the way across Nebraska, and Katie said that I did not hear the THREE different alarm sounds of her phone. How about Tuesday night, next week?
We will have to wake up earrrrly tomorrow morning, since we get off at Memphis at 6:29--and rent a car to drive to Bristol and back.
BOC - tummy
Mookie - head and sinus
Anyone else have a body part to contribute...?
Windy - cold and nasty day! 2 more to go, too.
Blah!

Good Evening
Having a tummy ache...yes... I said tummy ache.. I must have ate summat did not agree wit' me...
Got a bunch of gotta buys and gotta dos done....lurvely stuff... Now need more $$$ in bank....
Oh well...back to doing stuff here...CYA!!!
Overspoor in the Netherlands is busy - making new deductions. We have 4 eggs in a water tower box and 3 in a tower box. All peregrines. Kestrel cam isn't available this year.
Also have a Kingfisher nest with a camera and one egg. They are burrowed into the mud banks of the canal and I have no clue how they managed to get a camera in there. But Mama fits just fine in there with room to spare. Watching for any more eggs.
The 4 egg nest - this is an older adult female and she has one chick. She is moving the others around and shaking them so much I am afraid she will have scrambled chicks when and if they hatch!
Something to do while I am doing paper work. And while I was typing this, she just shoved out another 1/2 of egg shell, so I think we are now 2 deductions.
Cold, windy and not very spring-like here in true midwest. Magnolia trees were just looking good and then this - probably no spring color this year, as per usual.
JoeKohHope everyone has their taxes all done.
Finished mine last night. Thought I was going to have to pay this year, so I was in no real hurry. Happily, I was wrong.
Would have broken even on state taxes, but the state wants to collect sales tax on all those out-of-state purchases for which we don't pay state sales tax. Their example even includes buying a book in another state and bringing it home... Probably not many people keep track of that kind of stuff, at least to that detail.
So I put in my fire/EMS exemption, and now they owe me...

Deggesty cherokee woman Good evening to everyone. Had a very enjoyable day today: my brother & I went to his grandson's first tee ball game of the year, and his team won, 11 to 8. Those little ones were sooo cute. After they won, had shook hands w/the opposing team, they got cupcakes. Have our Saturday Night Pizza Fest ready and on the warmer bar. Hope you all enjoy it; have a good evening, take care and keep safe. OH: Johnny, like your new avatar! That's a very good picture of you. And hope you and Katie have a safe trip. Thanks, Paula. If I had really thought about it, I could have made the change last year; I had thought people might be tired of looking at a dog. As to sideways pictures, a cousin I did not know I had until about a week ago, in Lancaster county, Virginia (where my father was born), sent me several pictures of family tombstones, asking for information; she had taken them with her I-Pad, and they were also turned sideways. Perhaps these new-fangled devices just can't get it right when it comes to transmitting pictures by e-mail. One question she had concerned a cross at the top of my grandfather's stone. I was able to tell her that it meant that he was a Confederate soldier (he was born in 1842), and I then remembered that when I was in the fourth grade, my class brought more flowers to school on Memorial Day than any other grammar school class, and we had the honor of taking all of the grammar school flowers to the cemetary (about a mile each way; the excursion seemed to take forever), and placing them on Confederate soldiers' graves. There was a separate competition for the high school (grades 7-12). Monday morning, Katie and I expect to leave at 3:30--when we board, we will head for our bedroom and get into our berths as quickly as we can.

Interesting Johnny; "Supposedly" and according to research done by my father and other members of family, my Family came from Culpepper County Virginia. I don't have any info. if any family members served in the Civil War, but all indications point towards some of them serving with G.W. at Valley Forge.
As was said before; Have a Safe & Enjoyable Trip!
Barry, think you could sneak about 10 12" X 8' boards across the border that maybe the Governments(both) might not notice?! Surely you're not making that Big a desk!!
locomutt blownout cylinder John WR blownout cylinder big poplar trees that sat in neighbour's back yard are now down across our backyard....and looks to have landed on opposite neighbour's garage... Well, I hope you can clean it up yourself and don't have to pay to have it done. And I hope your neighbor's garage is safe. Last year a tree limb landed on my garden shed and broke a hold in the roof. With a piece of corrugated fiberglass I got from my son I was able to repair it. Well...we managed to clear the tops of the poplar trees off the garage...there are a number of holes poked through and, of course, his van took a hit...the trees were standing in about 12" of water at my other neighbours house...guess what happened...over-saturated ground/ice build up/wind....poof down she went...took the other poplar down with it. Took portable sawmill to work on them....now we got ~230 board feet of poplar wood to muck around with.... Poplar is some really good woodworking lumber and I need to build a couple of bookcases for extra storage.....reckon I could get some?! (although, I don't think I could get to Canada to pick it up.)

Minor icing here - we appear to have been on the southern edge. Only a couple of "tree/wire" calls through the day around the county.
Still awfully wet, though. A lot of streams are running pretty full, and many low-lying areas are about as full as they can get.
uuuuummmm.....well....there goes our day....
2 big poplar trees that sat in neighbour's back yard are now down across our backyard....and looks to have landed on opposite neighbour's garage... Kinda messy back here...gotta go...CYLTR!!!
finally Friday.chore day today.Matt is off to school.BC thanks for breakfast.
Good Morning from kinda slipperyoutthereville...
We ended up with a coating of ice over ever't'in here but little bits of power outages scattered here and there...east of us ... a lot more...
Having something of a slow day here....so just kicking back a little......oh...and breakfast cart is ready as well...
mudchicken Plan on being in Syracuse on October 15. If you got to Nebrasky, a whole gaggle of other folks would be trying to get there as well.

I'll take you to Zeb's, or maybe even Dinosaur Barbeque!
Thanks, Walt. I trust that we will not have to abort the trip as I did last year because of Ricki's death. I had planned to visit one of my school classmates (whom I had not seen since 1954) on the way to Bristol, but had to come back here without visiting. When I mentioned to him the possibility of a trip in May, his sister (the one about a year younger than he; he and his three brothers had only six sisters) invited me to visit her in Florence, S.C., and a cousin of theirs (the sister of my best friend; she graduated the year before I did) and a classmate of mine, who lived on the other side of the street from my grandparents (I discovered, a few years ago, that she is a fourth cousin of mine) drove over from Columbia, and we had a wonderful afternoon together. One of the three took several pictures of us, and I am now using the one of me by myself.
