Willy - I may have to reach out and "touch" you - just a love tap you know. Make it stop. A 50 degree winter is not so bad!
CW - I feel like a brat... I will leave it at that!
(Yummmm - and I can do corn, too!)

Well, I'm glad everyone is enjoying the nice brisk conditions I'm sending them! More of it coming for many locations, so keep on enjoying!
CW - Lunch sounds very good to me. I'll have a couple of hot dogs and some corn on the cob.
Willy
Okay, let's see now. How about something different for lunch today? I've gotten a new, indoor large George Foreman Grill, and we'll have: hot dogs, brats, burgers, grilled corn on the cob, and grilled onions, green peppers and red peppers (sweet variety), grilled "baked" potatoes.
I thought maybe everybody might be getting tired of stews and soups, and roast, taters & carrots. Hope today's special suits everyones taste.
As far as PRODUCE TUESDAY went, all we got today was potatoes and vanilla yogurt.

All the way up to 3 hereabouts right now - after seeing -18 on the home weather station at 4:00 am (woke up with a headache - yecch!).
Ms Mook - can't say I've ever heard of beef with noodles and chocolate cake soup....
The lake effect machine has been running to the south of us - but clear skies here (which explains the -18). The forecast is for the band to reorganize and shift a bit north, but I doubt I'll see much, if any, at the house.
But it is winter, after all. There's been some coverage of an event we experienced here 30 years ago - the Blizzard of '77. Paralyzed things for over a week, and pictures abound of snowbanks higher than houses.

Good morning everyone....it's
COLD!!!! here in Sioux Falls. At the present moment according to the Weather Channel we have 5 degrees below 0, the wind here is out of the NW at 14 mph, which leaves us with a wind chill factor of 26 degrees below 0. Greg Belfrage of KELO AM just announced that we have a temp of 7 below 0. I like Greg, so I'll take his word for it.
I know that Louisville, Kentucky is getting their share of cold weather, right now Cherokee Woman, Locomutt and Sarah are ENJOYING , and I am saying this sarcastically, they are enjoying 25 degrees and a wind chill of 11 above 0! Anyone want to move to South Dakota? At least the sun has come out this morning, but I just looked out my front window and it looks deceptively warm out there!!!!!.

Weeellll, based on our local prognosticator's long range forecast, I have a feeling that Willy's going to have a hard time finding that heat button...
We currently have no temperature here at this moment (ZERO degrees). The seven-day forecast is predicting HIGHS for right around there.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
^^ ......... CLUNK again!
It isn't the heat - it's the humidity - and it isn't the cold - it is the wind!
I am going to have a hot bowl of beef with lots of noodles and chocolate cake (thank you, ladies) for breakfast.
Then c-o-f-f-e-e and a n-a-p!
@
Good morning all. We've got 32 F here this morning. Oh well, let's eat!
Good Tuesday morning, all! Tina, glad to see you were in last night. Please come back in often! Chris, that is a very good picture!! Always love seeing your pictures.
Our outside temp is ABOVE FREEZING (just barely), at 33 degrees at 5:44 a.m.
Coffee is ready, along with juice, and hot water for cocoa and tea. On the warmer bar, for breakfast, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, tator tots, hash browns, home fried taters, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy, blueberry muffins and apple/cinnamon muffins, and freshly made bearclaws and bagels.
Everyone have a great morning, and I'll see everyone after I get through with Tuesday Produce.
Chris, First..I so enjoy your picture of the train in Colorado that I saved it on my computer, if that is okay. I love the mountains. Last year when my husband and I had the chance to go to Denver. I got to see the Moffat Tunnel for the first time. I have visited Colorado four times in my life; the last two with him. But seeing it through his eyes and with his stories, it just made the visit so enjoyable. When I saw your picture it reminded me of him and how much he means to me. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Second..do you have a special rating that you keep getting top post of each page? We haven't even got our March issue of TRAINS yet.
Ms. Mookie, I have chocolate cake in the fridge. You are welcome to it.
CW and all in the diner...it was 47 here today. Warm with blue skies. If ya'll get too cold, I'll flip the switch on the gas fireplace, make some hot chocolate, turn on the keyboard and we can all sing train songs. (However, I know more Christmas songs than train songs.)
Tina
Thanks everyone. Now I really am starting to blush! And Brian, I've seen your stuff and I have no idea what you're talking about!
Well, I must be on my way. Have to help a friend change a dying battery before Willy sends us some really cold stuff. Hope you all have a great evening!

I haven't seen Dan nor Dan. But then, I've been a little busy the past few days and not really paying much attention to what's going on with this forum.
CW, thank you again for your hard work. I'll have the porkchop tonight.
Well, I see someone asked, "What's for supper tonight?" Here is the answer:
1. beef noodles w/salad and baked potatoes
2. porkchop abracadbra w/salad and baked potatoes
DESSERTS: SAME AS ON THE LUNCH MENU TODAY.
Everyone have a great evening, and I'll be back in later, hopefully.
P.S. Has anyone heard from either of our two Dans?!?!
Good Afternoon!
What a busy day! I hope the rest of the week is a little calmer, but being Catholic Schools Week, it's sure to be crazy. For homework tonight I had geometry, history, theology, spanish, and english. Not only that, but also a geometry quiz and a chemistry test to study for. To make matters worse, there is a campus ministry meeting at 7:45 this evening and who knows how late that will go. I already have geometry, history, and spanish done, but I still have the tests to study for and the theology. I guess my relaxation for the evening is over. Time to get to work again!
TTFN.
brrr cold out there
cw will take #2&3 combo for supper tonight.watched some of the local action here and saw some good stuff.
nighttrain the barf bonnet is bnsf unit 9647.it has burlington northen sante fe spelled out on the side and its in cream and green color.(have a pic if you want it)well willy turned on the snow machine again time to get ready for tonight.
Another beautiful, short-sleeved day here in sunny San Jose. You just got to love weather like this. Keep up the good work, Willy.
Chris, nice shot. Keep on sharing. You've got a captive audience of "Chris train shot" admirers.
locomutt wrote:Willy, About that "Weather Machine", Does it even have a button marked "HEAT" on it?!?! Sure could use some of it right now!!
We'll be back to revisit that comment in August......
Chris - That shot brings two thoughts to mind - conflicting in a way. One, the railroad is insignificant compared to the landscape, yet, it's still a significant part of our world.
Nothing wrong with it at all!
Good afternoon, folks! On the warmer bar, you will find, for lunch:
1. beef stew w/cornbread
2. beef noodles
3. pork chop abracadbra
#s 2 & 3 will be served with tossed salad, baked potato
And for dessert, we have: chocolate cake, yellow cake w/caramel icing, cherry pie, and pecan pie.
Everyone have a great afternoon, stay safe and warm.

That's because your "bad" shots are equivalent or better than my "good" shots.
I'll have a couple to link to tonight that I got in Fairfax, IA yesterday while attending a family birthday gathering. The UP transcon was just a block away, so I could grab shots and then duck back inside the party room to warm up (and eat chocolate cake)!

That is an awesome shot. Any BNSF engine looks great in any kind of light....then again that must be just me
Just out of curiosity, what exactly is the "barf bonnet"? I don't believe I have ever seen that paint scheme on BNSF engines before. Unless I missed something
Coffee, and pancakes and sausage sound good to me this morning, and good morning everyone. Kinda backwards but I haven't had my caffine fix yet
