Good morning, everyone.  Another beautiful day.

I don't have a weather station, nor do I have a weather rock, not do I have a fancy web page with weather forecasts.  I suppose that I should feel left out.  Disapprove [V]

But I don't.  That's because everyone around here is so good at sharing.  Smile [:)]

Don't!  Those weather buffs among us like the technology, but I've been known to look out on the back porch thermometer for the temperature, and actually look up at the windvane for the weather station to see which way the wind is blowing (the house isn't oriented N-S, so interpretation of the weather station display can be deceiving).

The biggest single values to me are the hourly observations that the computer saves and the rain guage.

But I don't.  That's because everyone around here is so good at sharing.  Smile [:)]

Doncha love that?!?!?

YAY Fish Fry!!! Can you make extra french fries so me and Matt can pig out on potatoes all night? No worries Matt I'll share the ketchup.

 My cold is gone! *does cartwheels* now to get rid of the dry air so my allergies can go away too...ah it's Florida. Green, and Growing...means more pollen in the air. Without much rain it gets worse though. I'll live

 I guess I missed out on late night coffeehouse drama. I am sorry that Mookie had to be directed at like that, she doesn't deserve it. To make her feel better I think I'll get some chocolate cake, .....ah heck, I'll buy some, and leave some here for dessert. I'll save one more for Mookie on her late night runs.

Mutt, thanks for fixing the FRIDAY FISH FRY supper while Sarah and I were out.  We got back home, about 1/2 hour or so, after Mutt posted the supper menu.  We had a good time, even saw a train, not long after we started out.  Even found a restaurant to check out tomorrow after we get out from the Train Show. 

Nighttrain, glad to hear that your cold has gone away, and is now leaving you alone.  I feel for you with the allergies.  My nasal allergies have been giving me fits, because it's not staying freezing cold long enough to kill everything.  AND I'VE GOT SOME MORE FRIES GOING IN THE FRYER, IF ANYONE WANTS MORE!!

Oh yeah French Fries!!! The fish and hushpuppies are great as well. mmmmm!Dinner [dinner]

I hope the allergies don't get as bad as they did last year. in May they triggered a really bad migrane that lasted a couple of days, and it was miserable. I hope this year is better in that department.

Good Saturday morning to all! 

Joe, thanks for putting the coffee on making the juice, and for making breakfast!!  Pancakes and sausage sound very good this morning.  Could I have four pancakes, and three sausage, please?  Thank you!

Not sure what time we'll be leaving for The Great Train Show, but do know we'll be home in time for me to fix the pizzas for our Saturday Night Pizza Fest.  

Everyone have a great day, and whatever you do today, be careful and stay safe, all right?!

I'll take a quick bacon and egg on toast sandwich before I run off- we're having our Chancel Choir retreat today, time to start getting acquainted with the music for our big May concert.  This year we're doing Haydyn's (sp?) Lord Nelson Mass.

Hawaiian, as usual, although I may venture off the beaten path....

Heard the highway people on the scanner this morning - sounded like they were pretty serious, considering the very light snow falling and the temperature was only 4.... 

Then, at the Post Office I ran into the highway superintendent (small town - you know most everyone...).  He said there was actually some freezing rain involved, too...  Yuck. Good day to stick around the house.

Got the truck back, a couple of days sooner than expected, and with a pleasant surprise - since the old grille had basically disintegrated, they ordered the "wrong" one - the old one was plain gray plastic - the new one looks like chrome.  A whole new look!

 Off to the the local PBS station tonight for their antique event.

........Wow, 4 degrees....We now have 36.0 degrees and what little snow we've had this week is scattered now....been melting all night and lots of bare ground.

We will see several cold days this coming week though....Believe it's to be 13 and 19 tomorrow.  But no precip and partly sunny.

Railroad stuff....not much....Saw Triple Crown slipping through on it's trek south Friday with it's many, many trailers in tow....Business still must be rather good.

It's another beautiful day.  Wet, but not really raining.  Only 50 degrees, but it feels warmer.

And I will have bacon and eggs for breakfast, with a glass of orange juice. Dinner [dinner]

Well, we made it home from the train show.  About the only good thing I can say for it, is that it was CROWDED!!  There were so many people there, you could hardly move.  Otherwise, it wasn't much to brag about in my honost opinion. 

FOR OUR SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST, YOU WILL FIND ON THE WARMER BAR:

1.  cheese

2.  Canadian bacon

3.  Goeta

4.  Hawaiian

5.  Pepperoni/mushroom/sausage

6.  Pepperoni/mushroom

7.  Sausage

8.  Supreme 

And for dessert, apple pie, chocolate cake, and cherry cheesecake

Everyone have a terrific evening, stay warm and safe.

I just got in after putting in a full day at work. And man, the pizza sure smells good to me. I'm gonna grab a few pieces of the Canadian bacon and a few pieces of the Hawaian pizza.

I am providing beverages to go along with our pizza feast tonight, and plenty of it; Coke, diet Coke, Sprite, diet Sprite, Cherry Coke, Root Beer, Pepsi, diet Pepsi and Mountain Dew.

I need the Large Goetta with an ice cold Dr. Pepper.

We haven't done anything at all today. We went to WalMart and then ate a bite at Long John's.

I was wondering how the train show went CW. I wouldn't have known anything if you and LM hadn't said anything about it last night.

Good evening!

That pizza was very good, CW!

It is cold tonight! There is more cold coming too. One of our local meteorologists said that the air that is going to come south next weekend is looking like about the coldest air he has ever seen. He said that even as far south as Omaha, highs could be below zero by next Saturday and Sunday. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I'm not a big fan of frigid temperatures, but it will be interesting to feel real extreme cold, if it actually does materialize.

All I know about the air we breath is that it is made up of a mixture of gases, all of which are colorless. A meteorologist who can actually see air must be an extremely rare breed.

I don't know what kind of weather you've got down there in Omaha, but up here in Sioux Falls we have a temp of 2 degrees above 0, and with the wind blowing out of the NW at 14 mph, this leaves us with a wind chill of 15 below 0. Not a fit night to be out for anyone here!

I agree with Brian. He must really be young.

Before all this Global Warming that everyone talks about started, it used to actually get really cold. I remember in the late 70's, early 80's a whole bunch of snow and a whole bunch of snow days off from school. That was in the Greater Cincinnati area also. It ain't like it used to be. You could count on the first few days of January being just a tad warm, then everything would go downhill from that.

A bit late getting in. A couple slices of the Hawaiian and the meat lovers #5 and a diet pepsi would be great...

Cold everywhere, here in the north and in the south...
