Willy, Good job.
Willy - Yea! Maybe the landlord will quit watering the dead sod for a day or two....
Congrats on the grades. I was a good tooter wasn't I!!!!
Off to see some trains -
Later....

I took my first three semester exams this morning. They were geometry, world history honors, and chemistry. The geometry and history grades have not been posted yet, but the chemistry was. I got a solid 'B' on the exam and my overall grade for the semester for chemistry is a 97.5%. Not too bad for someone who thought chemistry would be his worst subject! I'm almost certain I got an 'A' on the geometry exam and probably an 'A' or 'B' on history, so nothing to worry about there.
Lots of rain coming tonight. Computer models say two to three inches, I say one to two inches, we'll see what happens. One thing that's certain is that it's going to be very wet for the next 24 hours.

The problem is keeping it stocked - MC usually walks out of here with a barrel of Gatorade under each arm....

When did we get that Gatorade tap here? Heck, I don't care I love it! I'll take that and a brief snack of pretzels then back to work. Two more fitness classes and a personal training client before 1 PM!

Okay, Mookie's lunch suggestion sounds like a winner, so here it is:
beef noodle soup/w oyster crackers; and for anyone who doesn't want that, there is tuna casserole w/pasta noodles, peas and carrots in a creamed sauce.
And for supper tonight, it will be Mookie's porcupine meatballs w/the broccoli,raisin,sunflower seed, apple salad. And if anyone else has something they would also like for tonight, I'll make that as well.
There is plenty of iced tea, lemonade, limeade, and iced water to quench everyone's thirsts today, as well as Gatorade, and soft drinks.
wow mookie. i better keep up on my cpr training.the spindles and posts and rails are all painted.after a nap matt will help when we attach the spindles back onto the deck.then i will do the deck floor last.if mother nature is going to crank up the heat we'll take advantage of it.
stay safe

Porcupine meatballs - hamburger, egg, rice, splash of milk, seasoning to taste (onion, which I love but can't eat), mush together like when you make meatloaf, form medium size meatballs, brown on two sides, pour can of tomato sauce and small can V8 or tom juice and let simmer slowly until all flavors go through.
This is "after work, I am tired, crabby and don't want to cook too much".
Another recipe has basically the same thing but in the oven, but that takes longer and shortens my temper considerably (I hate to cook!)
(Fried potatoes with eggs mixed in was a dinner when it was just Mom and me and Dad was on the road.)

Guten morgen! Wie geht es dir zum heute?
Glad to hear the Driver can drive in the drive way again. I'll bet he was smiling! Ms Moo I'm perplexed a bit. What is a Porcupine Meatball? I've never heard of that. The soup and crackers sound good for lunch to me also.
A RR note: I finally got the picture of the CP GP40 near sunset uploaded on my website. I forgot how loud that bright red is in the setting sun. Check the homepage on my website out if you wanna see it.
CW - the one burning question we have at our humble abode each day - "what's for supper"....this is as agonizing as "where shall we eat breakfast" on Saturday morning! I can make life & death decisions (shall we watch trains, what to wear to work, etc) but can't seem to figure out supper and Sat breakfast.
I would like chicken beef noodle soup and oyster crackers for lunch and porcupine meatballs with a broccoli/raisin/sunflower seed/apple salad for supper.
Willy - it drooled at our house and 37 blocks north of us on UNL campus - it puddled! Nothing on radar right now.
Both were headed east when I checked in with weather channel.
Bobcat and dirt gone! Parking lot open for business and the Driver used both sides of the driveway to get to the street - just because he could! He the whole way!
ook...
Good Wednesday morning, everyone! Coffee is brewing, tea is brewing for fresh iced tea (sweetened and unsweetened), also have hot water on for hot tea this morning; have made fresh oj, oj/tangering/tomato, pineapple juice and apple juice.
On the breakfast/warmer bar, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, hash browns, fresh pineapple slices, sliced tomatoes and sliced apples. There's also a variety of cold cereals sitting on the counter.
This is REQUEST WHAT YOU WANT FOR LUNCH AND DINNER DAY. So, I want to hear some ideas/requests from you all, as to what you'd like to eat today.
Everyone have a good morning, and if you need me, I'll be in the garden, on the glider, enjoying nature this morning. Anyone who wants to join me there, is welcome.

You can keep that rain out in the midwest for a couple more days (actually waiting until after the holiday weekend would be nice, too). My tower guys are almost done and don't need another rain delay. It's no fun working 180' in the air in the rain....

Yep, you've got a chance of rain Thursday and Thursday night, but over the weekend too. It looks like much of the central plains/midwest is going to get into kind of a messy weather pattern for at least the next week.
Bob - Surprisingly, the NOAA drought monitor does not have northwest Illinois in a drought yet. I have a feeling that if you don't get rain soon, that will change. You've got a chance later this week and over the weekend too, so hopefully that will get things moist again.
Back to studying!!

Not much rain expected tonight here in Omaha. Mookie has a slightly better chance of seeing some late tonight. Our time for storms will be tomorrow, tomorrow night, and Thursday morning. Severe storms will be possible and we could get a couple of inches of rain. If things keep going the way they are, this May might try to get into the record books as one of the wettest Mays ever for Omaha. We'll just wait and see what the next few days bring.
Now I'm going to spend a totally exciting evening studying for exams. What could be more thrilling?

I hope you mean the rubber ones, not the metal ones...
It's trying to rain around here, but all we're getting is light showers. Humidity isn't high enough yet.
I'll take one of everything from the Mexican spread!
I don't even want to have to think about buying a lawn mower (which would be stolen around here, anyway) or gasoline for it! Glad a friend mows the yard free of charge. But next month, I'm going to try to get him to take some payment, to help him out with the gas for his mower and gas trimmer.
Joe and Lance, containers are made up and in the fridge for you two to take to work tonight.
Okay, everyone, our TUESDAY NIGHT MEXICAN FIESTA is now under way, on the patio. But, you WILL have to go inside the Diner, to fill your plates. I decided to cook in AC this afternoon! We're at 85 or 86 degrees here at 6:17 p.m. EDT. The cool breeze from this morning, has turned into a very warm breeze this evening.
Everyone enjoy your supper, and have a good evening.
....Spokyone....The only way to make it look better, use a 2.5 gal can and then you can get away with only $8.00.....ha.....That's a record for me, filling my gas can for that amount. I can mow my 25,000 sq. ft. with that 5 times.....{14 horse John Deere}.
At those rates, that makes it $96.00 / season gasoline cost to mow my yard.
