Heading for the mid 50's today. Another beautiful sunny day here in good ol' CA.
Brian, you can have the tin boots back. "You-know-who" didn't even notice that you ate all the chocolate cake.
//quickly slips boots on
Now wait a minute, don't be trying to frame me...

The snow is good for burying the asparagus. Ack.....4 days of enchantment until another imposed vacation this weekend! Bah!Moo!

Mook,just make sure that you don't get a "Muffler Burn" from it!!!!!!
Managed to get away from scanners & TV for awhile..............
Looks like Northern Bullitt County is closed for business today!
(at least there have no/or serious injuries from that!!)
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
....M C.....You should be ok in this region the rest of the week....We did get an overnight {rare}, bit of snow. But just 1", so nothing to be concerned about. To be dry and sunny to partly sunny the rest of the week. Believe temps should be mid to upper 30's for high's so not to worry.

....Just watched a cable news report of the CSX derailment south of Lousiville and it sure is burning fiercely still....Appears to be at least a dozen rail cars involved....
Walt....Is that the location where if driving along on the {pretty new}, 3 lane I-65 south and the railroad would be located off to the right and right before the routes start the climb up that long grade.....? Believe you and I have discussed that location before.

Well, all I gots to say is that was one huge piece. But that's okay, nobody else wanted any chocolate cake anyway (yeah, right!)
Mount Edgecumbe is on Kruzov Island, which is located just west of Sitka, which is south of Juneau.

Very cool. Haven't visited that part of Alaska yet- maybe someday. I've been up to Anchorage, Seward, Valdez, and McKinley though, several times back in my single days. Rode the Alaska RR to McKinley.
Didn't I see you wandering off with the other half of that cake?

Mildly concerned about what's in store FRI-SAT-SUN on the way back...
I too, have been to Alaska, and that was in September of 2003. I went on a Holland-America cruise tour with two of my sisters, their husbands and a nephew of mine. Our cruise tour included trips on both the Alaska Railroad and the narrow gauge White Pass & Yukon Route. The avatar that I am presently using is from the White Pass itself.
I think everyone should make a trip to Alaska at least once in their lifetime, and I also think it would be neat if a bunch of us forum members were to go on such a trip like this together. That would entail a lot of planning, not to mention waiting a few years just to pull such a venture off.

Quentin, you're in the same general area; but this is about 15 miles or so north of the "Hill". Your general description matches quite closely otherwise.
wow another derailment for csx in kentucky? someone better wake up down there.will take some of the blue plate special to go for work tonight.right now defiance has plenty of riverfront property.
I need a favor for everyone to say a prayer for our former band director.he has found out he has lung cancer.they think they found it early enough though.hopefully he gets through it.thank you
stay safe

Gawd, that was just cutting a bit too close! I'm glad the Depot Diner & Coffee Shop is still on one piece!
Can I have a big bowl of beef stew with cornbread?

Some years ago there was an accident on the interstate near here involving a truck carrying produce. They decided that since it was "natural" they'd just leave all of the produce there. That decision was reversed when car-animal accidents skyrocketed at that spot, due to the animals arriving for the feast.....
Cold, cold, cold. Three degrees right now, and with clear skies, it's dropping like a rock.
Nice, warm, comfort food.....

Joe,
You've got the favor big time; all of our Thoughts and Prayers will be directed that way!
(along with others,to other people also.)
Well,even though this has not been a Good derailment, (like any are) at least this one didn't take out a bridge crossing a river like the last one did!! (1990 or so)
Okay, comfort food it is tonight: beef stew w/cornbread, open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters and beef gravy, and tenderized angus steak w/sauteed mushrooms & onions.
And guys, no need to fight over the chocolate cake. REMEMBER: I make several in advance, and freeze them, so there are about 4 more that have been thawing all afternoon. As a matter of fact, I'm getting ready to frost/ice them now. No, these didn't get frosted before I froze them.
Everyone have a terrific evening, stay warm, and dry. Cannonball, get well soon, and mudchicken, have a safe journey to Indiana. And Joe, will add your request to my prayer list.

on the last paragraph.
Who's fighting over the cake? We just like to tease a certain kitty.
......M C:
Right now the extended weather forecast for this area is showing:
Friday...31 and 22 temp. with a few snow showers...{doesn't sound real serious}
Saturday....32 and 25 temp. with partly cloudy conditions...
Overall it doesn't seem to indicate any massive system to pass thru....
That 1" of overnight snow we recieved has not been much of a problem with most roads back to bare conditions now. Even had some sunshine this afternoon.
Update 1-17: MC....Sunday 35 and 29 temp and forecast simply, Cloudy.
....Walt, that sounds like the derailment is not too far removed from south Louisville....That propane fuel is really a dangerous bomb when fire gets to it in a situation like that.
Some years ago a propane tanker {rail}, blew up out on the Sante Fe RR near Kingman, Az. from all accounts produced an extreme massive explosion.

Morning all! It's 'Egg Wednesday' here in the DDCS. I've got a truck load of eggs that are fresh from the farm and lots of hot skillets. I'll try to make 'em however you want! We've also got corned beef hash (DIBS if nobody else wants it!), hashbrowns, bacon, turkey bacon, sausage links and patties, and fresh fruit. We've also gotten topped off with fresh OJ, AJ, TJ and some really good coffee. I've made a couple trays of scrambled eggs, some sunny-side up, and some 'flat'. There's also several trays of meat and sides warm and on the bar for your leisure! BTW...Ms. Mook, I have a present for you but you'll have to wait to open it!
Switch8frg I hope all is well. I'll toss an extra prayer your way.
Dan
^? Someone say present?
