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").
...Very light rain here in central Indiana.....Almost don't recognize it.
70 degrees here already this morning and of course cloudy. Radar indicates lots of green around here so that should mean we will get some more light rain today...The best kind, and seriously needed.
Had to go thru the ritual of changing TV's last week as our very reliable Sony decided to turn itself off after about 14 years.
Problem cured, after much checking and measuring, etc....Now in it's place is the new technology of flat panel....Really great...Must go watch Morning Joe for a little bit and have my coffee....Everyone have a good day.

Alittle damp around the edges here again this morning, but the heavy stuff apparently stayed up in northeast Iowa/southwest Wisconsin/northwest Illinois last night. It will be interesting to hear how much they got.
How about grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch?

Mookie!!! Welcome back!! See how dead it is in here, when you're gone?!?! Here's your coffee mug. Do you want coffee or hot tea in it? Asparagus on the front page of the paper?!?! How could they do such a thing.
On the warmer bar for breakfast this morning: pancakes, waffles, French toast, sausage patties, sausage links, turkey bacon, and fresh fruit.
Does anyone have any requests for lunch and or dinner? If so, please let me know.
Halloooo? ^ ?
Boy does it echo in here.
I am just itchin' to make some mischief, but have only today and then off again tomorrow, and back again on Friday. This has been a very bad week. But I will make up for it again next week.
Picked up the living section of the paper this morning and there was asparagus on the front page. Now there is a big hole in that front page and the garbage is a little fuller.
Must go find a puter and answer all the e-mails I owe. Wait....I don't have a puter. HA - took care of that problem didn't I!

Mookie, glad to see you made it in!! Sure gets lonesome around here, when you're gone. Brian, yes, we got rain about 45 minutes to an hour ago. Lots of wind, some rain. Feels good outside, now.
Continuing the MEXICAN FIESTA for tonight. Loaded up the warmer bar with Spanish rice, tacos (soft and corn) burritos, enchiladas, etc., with lettuce and chopped onions and tomatoes, and there's plenty of cobblers, cakes, pie and ice cream for dessert.
Joe and Lance, as usual, there are containers in the fridge with your names on them, for work tonight.
Have a good evening, everyone, and talk with you later.
afternoon
as mookie stated the first day back to work"stinks" anyway we got a nice gentle rain today as well.we'll take some more.Cw will take aplate for work tonight please.
......Have .45" of rain in my rain gauge this morning as all morning was a slow light rain....The best kind. The surprise is we got any at all...! Dry as a bone here.
Very light rain coming down again this afternoon...very light, but it all is needed and will help. A critical week for farmers corn, so I'm told.
I can see by the looks of my yard how dry it's been....
Tree - and your 0 dark 30 is an hour before mine! But at least you don't have to worry about crowds!
Off to see the Driver.....
Still here! Busy, Busy, Busy. Had to come to work at O-Dark-30 this morning for a problem, then back in at regular time for a class, now I'm headed home to see why my pump is misbehaving. Sheesh!
We're OK on rain here - in fact, if the water works don't take up a lot of my time, I may get my lawn mowed, too. It needs it (finally).
On the road again!!

I wish I could comply with that request, although by the looks of the midwest radar we will be sharing it with some folks in Louisville very shortly... duck, LM and CW!
Iamhereforthefirsttimetoday!
I came back to a mess and it will take due diligence to get it all properly pushed off my desk and into the round file! Everyone knew I would be gone so they took it really easy on my substitute and saved it for me. Wasn't that special!
See MC was in - they had a tornado in the far west on Friday - I just figured it was him leaving Newbrasskey in a hurry.....
I can't stay - I am going to grab a kibble and get another round file ready.
And for you people who threaten easily - I will be back tomorrow.
Mook
Hmmm, looks like Mookie is still MIA!! Lunch is now on the warmer bar. I'm making today MEXICAN FIESTA DAY: tacos, enchiladas, burritos (beef and beef/beans), Spanish rice, along with several other Mexican dishes.
Desserts today: apple, blueberry, cherry and peach cobblers; chocolate cake w/chocolate icing; white cake w/caramel icing; and pecan pie; ice cream to go on top of the cakes, cobblers and pie, or just to eat by itself.
Everyone stay as cool as possible, and have a good day!!

Well, at least Ed's decided to share it with someone else...
We're well over four inches since yesterday morning, with more promised.

Good Tuesday morning, one and all. Looks like it was very slow in here last night. Brian, hope everything has calmed down now, and that everyone is all right.
Mudchicken, I'll keep praying that you all get some much needed rain and slightly cooler temps!!
Coffee is just about through brewing, and there's fresh juices made, along with tea (both sweet and unsweetened), lemonade & limeade.
On the warmer bar/breakfast bar, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage links, and western omelletes, along with various melon chunks, and other fresh fruit.
Hope all our MIAs from yesterday are back today. Wish I could visit the garden for a few, but, since this is Produce Tuesday for me, guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow morning. See you all later!!

Joe and Lance, there are containers in the fridge, with your names on them, for work tonight. You both have a good assortment of leftovers, so you should have plenty to fill your tummies!
For everyone else, I've heated more leftovers, and they are on the warmer bar. Everyone have a great evening, and Brian, I hope CI and the rest of the state doesn't get any bad, bad weather!
//makes mental note to be very nice to Ray
The weather has been pretty exciting around here today, so far we've gotten over half an inch of rain, and Iowa City is currently under a tornado warning.
Left overs for dinner tonight sounds pretty good to me. I'll stop in within the next couple hours to see what I can find in the fridge. It's 90 degrees here in Sioux Falls and it's going to be a while before it even begins to cool down here.
I just got home from work about 20 minutes ago and I had one of "those days", and as a result the manager at Wendy's sent me home a bit early to cool off. I lost my temper with another employee who is constantly whining about having to do the tasks that are asigned to him, and yesterday he was nearly five hours late in showing up for work, which is not fair to the rest of us who want to work and are always on time. He was using the company's phone for his own personal business, which even the manager told him he should not be doing. He was on break, but has his own cell phone. Earlier in the afternoon I told the manager that I was about ready to strangle this kid. I finally turned around from what I was doing and in a voice as loud as thunder, I yelled to him "Get off the phone, you ( you fill in the blanks) !!!!! I did use the "F" word in this, which I will admit was a bit uncalled for, but I was really steamed. It was like an eruption of Mt. St. Helens. I'm sure that I left the other employees in a state of shock, because they never expected an "explosion" of this magnitude from little old mild mannered me.
Hopefully, the MT. St. Helens within me will be quiet and much more subdued tomorrow.

not a problem.Cw will take some leftovers for supper tonight.its been thinking about raining but we haven't got any yet.
Leftovers sound great today! CW I'll just grab a well-rounded plate and munch in the corner for a while. I think I finally got the plaster dust out of the hair: I was demolishing most of the 'rents house for them over the weekend. The big hammer came in quite handy!
Joe those pics you sent are pretty sweet. I finally had some time to go over them more closely...good job!
Mudchicken, I ended up not staying out too long; had to go do some errands, and wanted to get them taken care of before it started getting hot outside. And it looks like you and I have been the only ones in here today!
Makes me glad that I did so much cooking yesterday. There are plenty of leftovers from Sunday Dinner, warmed up and on the warmer bar. Everything's labeled and covered, so all you all need to do is look on he lid, to tell what's inside, lift the lids, and fill your plates.
So everyone have a good afternoon, and stay as cool as possible!!
CW: You gonna be out back for a while? Methinks mooks is off Mon and Thur..... (I'm off today to make up for working 10 days in a row - Go back to Gering late Tue to resume the tour-de-nebrasky.)
Spent Feathers
Good Monday morning, everyone. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Now, it's back to the grindstone.
Joe, thanks for making the coffee, juice and lemonade this morning! And it looks like you did a great job making the gravy. It' not too thin or too thick. You did it perfectly!!
Has anyone heard from Emmar lately?!?! It's been quite awhile since I've seen her in here!! Sure hope she and family are o.k.!!
Think I'm going to take my coffee, and a plate of biscuits and gravy, out to the garden, and wait for Mookie. Everyone take care, and have a good day.
