What do people want for dinner today?
We had a chance at rain this morning but it didn't materialize. It's about 83 degrees, sunny, and not muggy!
....My instrument indicates 90.5 @ 4:31 here in central In. Possible thunder boomers this evening in some locations. 2.96" of rain since last Thursday since we started to get a bit of rain after the long many dry weeks.
Quentin
Hot, Humid, and WINDY. I can see the tops of the thunderheads that are nailing the folks just to the south of us, and we are just outside the SVR TSTRM watch areas. It's 89 right now at the Watertown airport....
Might make a hot weekend on the railroad, but there is rain in the forecast for Sunday...

Afternoon all. It's much less muggy here so thanks for that Willy. The sunshine is nice today, too!
How come it's been pretty quiet in here lately? Did I miss a memo or something? Oh wait...summertime = people being outdoors. DOH!
Duff & Sadie - Good to see you in here. Stop by more often if you get the time!
Willy - If you get a chance in the August time frame, take a trip out this way. The monsoon machine should be in high gear, and we'll get rains in the 2-3"/Hour bracket. Kind of impressive to see, but a real pain to drive in!

Duff - Adorable picture of Sadie!
The weather did it again. A cold front moved through last night with a dry frontal passage. Now this morning and afternoon, thunderstorms have sparked along it just south of us. In fact, one spot reported 4.80 inches of rain in 90 minutes. Now I know that's not good, but I think it would be exciting to experience something like that. Meanwhile, here in Omaha, we're high and dry and will stay that way for at least a week.
Chris - I'll see what I can do about keeping the heat out of the Denver area, but it is summer, you know.

SADIE IS ALREADY WALKING?!
Gotta be a "child prodigy"
You know you all are welcome any time.
(you gotta do what you have to do with "Little Ones")
(and I doubt seriously that anybody will mind)
I'm very sure Matt will share fries with you all, he's been very good to the rest of us.
Dan, thanks for that info. will definitely have to look into it.
Was already thinking about those "fake" video cameras.
And for Quentin, just finished cleaning the 12 guage, hope I don't have to use it, but someone Might think twice with a load of double ought buckshot in their behind!
Just an FYI for everyone, CW may or may not be in the rest of today or
tomorrow due to a certain doctors appointment tomorrow.
So she's not going to be able to do things around here.
(nothing serious, routine stuff, but none the less......)
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!!
Another small fry wants fries??? matt would be happy to share.Orangebishop welcome to the forums.no rain here yet.I saw on the news if you need to go to Austin texas you better have a boat.

Appreciate the update!

Chris:
Pitch the bar of soap my way down at the stockyards if it actually does rain today. Yesterday was much more bearable, but it's way to dry around here. (Dustbowl in the old UP yard area)
//Out da door...
Morning All,
Willy, can you do me a favor and keep the weather we had here yesterday until October or so? You can start dropping the temps and add some snow at that point. I really don't think I'm ready to head back to near triple digit territory by the weekend.
Burp...
Poke me with a fork - I am done....
morning
still have the muggies this morning.maybe by this afternoon the rain will cool us off.that stuff in the crockpots for lunch and supper sounds good.I'm sure mookie will tell us when its done.
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Hope everyone had a good evening, and are looking forward to a good day today.
Coffee has just finished brewing, ojs freshly made, and there's hot water for tea. I somehow don't think anyone will be wanting hot cocoa or hot chocolate this morning. Also made fresh lemonade, and replenished our stocks of Gatorade for today.
On the warmer/breakfast bar, you'll find: turkey bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, biscuits, sausage gravy, and on the cool end, you'll find cantaloupe, mushmelon, & watermelon chunks. Also the pre-requisite bear claws for Mookster and Tree.
Dan and everyone, I went ahead and fixed the BLTs and grilled chicken pasta salad for tonight's supper. Everything is on the breakfast bar, which has been loaded down with ice, to keep everything nice an cool.
Desserts are in the cooler, and everyone have a cool, pleasant evening. I'm headed to the patio, under the awning.
Dan, have your started supper, or shall I? That is basically the same menu I was planning for tonight.
Your suggestion regarding the fans is the exact thing that we do. And with the humidity up like it is, that isn't quite working right now. Next week, when we have our next "cool down" will be when that cooling method actually works again.
And we'll have to check into that AAA battery LED sensor.
I'm thinking we could do some BLT's and maybe grilled chicken salad/pasta salad for dinner. How does that sound?
CW I found something interesting today. It's a small led powered by a AAA battery that merely glows red. It's on a photo sensor so it goes on automatically during low light. What use is that, you ask? Easy. It's a dummy security sensor near doors/windows. It was at Wal-mart and came in a 3 pack for $9.94. It may make the casual thief pause or think twice.
On another note, is the suggestion I emailed you regarding the fans and cooling working?
afternoon
just some pop up showers thats about it around here.we are keeping cool here inside.CW will take something cool for supper tonight at work please.I refilled the tea lemonade and gatorade too.
Again, that would be cool to see 844 at speed! I wonder why those ACe's didn't get that far. Must be because Iowa is nice to stop in and rest a spell! Can any of our residen Iowans (is that the word?) confirm or dispel that?
I tried to get some shots of some CN -9w's this morning passing thru the 1899 bridge in town here but I sneezed as I clicked the button! Somehow I don't think I can salvage the shot!
