Eighties here today - not super humid, but still enough to work up a good sweat.
Got a couple of wood projects done. If I can find the casters I bought for the table saw, I'l get that project out of the way, too.
Service on the truck tomorrow, and I'll check with the body shop to see when he can get the truck in. Called the insurance company to check on the claim and they said it's all settled and the body shop has the check. Would have been nice to send me a courtesy copy of some sort to let me know...
Off to other projects...

Today, my church held its annual picnic, in a park just east of the I-80 summit of the Wasatch. About the middle of last week, rain was forecast for today, but we had none. so the outing was excellent.

Mookie Tree - are you running or just housekeeping those 3 days?
Tree - are you running or just housekeeping those 3 days?
Housekeeping is part of the job when conductor - washing windows, sweeping floors, etc.
Don't have schedule in front of me. I know I'm qualifying on territory on Saturday. I've run all of it (as engineer), but I'm not officially qualified on all it yet. I'm pretty sure I'm conductor the other days.
Edit - I'm engineer Thursday and Saturday, Conductor Friday.
I may steal Houston Ed's barrel of Gatorade - I think it's supposed to be hotter here than there, at least early in the week...
Good MorningWe are going up to 86F in the sunshine, feeling more like 102F later on...right now it is a cool 60FHaving a day of rest after the shows we put on...
morning
Breakfast is all set. Guessers say the triple h's are coming back. Did see the Interstate unit at Deshler. Also the dispatch center in Indianapolis had problems and had to be evacuated. Things got backed up around the diamond. Going to rest up today. Back to work tonight.
There - the biggest day of the 45th French Festival is in the books. Decent parade, nice fireworks. The weather gods cooperated with most clear skies and no rain, although the +82F at parade time took its toll. No marchers fell out of ranks, but I passed out a lot of water.
Resting on Sunday. Lots to do this week, including three days on the railroad.
we are in Deshler today. Csx is Banner testing east of town. Could be a heritage unit leading an oil train westbound today.We'll keep you posted.
mmmmm....welb...good morning....I think.....mmmmmmm
Well...we are having sun and a high of 84F today, going to get way hotter in the next couple of days here...back to the ol' heat and stick...
Today have a bit of a rest then off to the club tonight for a couple more live sets with the new band ...hope this one sticks together...

Seems they are catching up.They were running non stop last night.Time for supper then time for bed.Tomorrow it's another fundraiser for the historical society in Deshler.That B&O caboose isn't going to move without some $$.
Good MorningSunny with a high near 74F todayGot some...ermm...'interesting'...news yesterday. Doctor appointment on Monday morning for the possibility of getting something like a 'tummy tuck'. ..ermmm...well, due to the huge weight loss I now have some extra baggy skin around the ol' mid-section...it is most bizarre. ...:chuckgrudenface:Today I'm heading to the LHS to find some Lionel Boxcars for the Xmas layout...
I want coffee with my coffee just black please
5:02a CDST - goin' fishing.
Sunny and hot - must be summer.
Continuing to downsize - Goodwill received some goodies. I am starting to actually feel like there is some room in this place.
afternoon
chores and errands done. Ns was running trains when I left from work but very slowly.Part of the stack train that didn't derail was in our siding at work.The local was also uptown switching out cars.Ns has other messes in our state as well.Csx has messes to clean up too.Our new local grain elevator has cars to load.Sent Matt with his cousins to tour the Spangler candy company in Bryan.(they make dum dum pops).Tonight is Friday.
Good MorningMuch cooler out this morning then it has been for the past several days...or was it weeks...mmmmm...right now we are at 62F...going for a high of 72F......the rain we had over the past three days tripled the amount the amount we had all summer last year...Today I actually might get a chance to get the hay..I mean grass cut...then off to the mall to meet the gang and see what types of things happened...
After a sunny afternoon, the storms are starting to fire. Raining pretty hard here right now, with lightning and thunder. Maybe even some hail.
Local weather radar is still out of service, so we're relying on Buffalo, Burlington, Albany, and Binghamption. All are so far out as to miss the low stuff, though.
just a quick note.We are ok.just lots of water and some tree branches down.storm roared more eastward.storm took out a stack train between bryan and edgerton ohio on ns' old nyc main.need to get going to work.
Showers this AM, but sunny right now. That may help warm things up to keep the stuff to the west of us alive for a while. So far we're not looking at any flood risk in this area.
Good MorningAll kind of dull and very humid out today...currently sitting at 74F feeling like 94F...about 95% humidity...yuck...Getting a few things done chorewise and then off to the mall to meet the gang...and then train time....
guessers say one more day of the triple h's. Lot's of water around everywhere. chores later.Time for bed.Breakfast is all set.

Good Evening...
95% humidity and 84F right now...hot? Oh yea....
The TO storm dumped more rain in 2 hours than did Hurricane Hazel in one day in 1954....it was just nuts there....
grampaw pettibonePeyton place continues in the schools here! Where were these teachers when I was in school....
One of my HS teachers married one of his students not long after she graduated. She was the sister of one of my classmates (and track teammates) and a couple years ahead of us in school. Made things interesting when the coach's wife showed up at meets...
We're under a flash flood watch for tomorrow, as the cold front moves through. Might get a heavy thunderbumper or two out if it, too.
Hoping for good weather on Saturday for the big French Festival in the next town over. I'll be on my mountain bike for EMS coverage.

It has intrigued me that a dog will go outside in the summer and lie in the hot sun for a time. Buddy (who used to grace my posts) did it; Holly (who can almost be seen in my current avatar) does it. Perhaps the dogs feel too cool inside, and want to get warm?
Yesterday, I went to a swim meet at the pool which is about a block from our house. Jackie was one of the swimmers, and she did well. Katie and I were asked to time the swimming, so I ran a stopwatch fro the first time, I think, since I took physics in college (57 years ago)
Our highs have dropped into the nineties, but we expect 100+ for a day or two; our lows stay about seventy. We do get some showers of rain (may it not rain much this coming Sunday, for that is the date of my church's annual picnic).
Peace be with you. 87 and sunny in Carolina. It is hot to us, but the girls are lying in the grass and won't come in. Go figure.
Bad times at the beach. There seems to be a drowning a day, sometimes multiple. Rip currents are the culprits and often, drownings result from trying to save others.
Larry, our fair is in October. Way too hot now.
Peyton place continues in the schools here! Where were these teachers when I was in school....
Nuff sed. Everyone take care and stay cool.

Kinda muggy here today - but it's cloudy, so the heat is less of an issue. They're promising cooler temps starting tomorrow, to be delivered with a side of thunder.
County fair opens tonight with a parade. Think I'll stay home. Ours is reputedly the oldest continuously operating county fair in the country.
