Well, Paula and I have gotten everything moved over to our new digs. (Layouts, sound system included). So this is our new home for the next three months. Seems like we’ve got a better view of the tracks this time! [:D]
From the last I heard/saw, Kansas beat Ohio State. So it looks like it’ll be a Ky/Kansas match up on Monday. GO KENTUCKY WILDCATS!!!
morning
like the new place.don’t get fooled today.
stay safe

Good Sunday morning everyone. Joe, I’ve already gotten fooled: as sleepy as I was last night, I could not go to sleep: finally conked out about 2:15 or so this morning. Our temp this morning, at 6:15 was 49 degrees. We’ve already had thunder and lightning this morning, which is why I’m just now getting on the computer. But we’re supposed to warm up, with a projected high of 81 degrees this afternoon.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is ready and on the warmer bar: leftover pizza from last night, bacon, eggs, oatmeal and toast.
Well, looks like tomorrow night’s NCAA final game will be a battle between the K universities, Kentucky and Kansas. Should be another good game. My only complaint is that the game doesn’t start until 9 p.m. EDT. Guess I’ll have another basically sleepless night.
Everyone have a good morning, take care going to Church, work, rail fanning, whatever you need to do and see you all later this afternoon.
…I’m here. Now trying to establish where the baseball size hail {might}, be active today…and when. The threat is in central Indiana as of last night, and somewhat this morning / afternoon.
Trying to establish whether I can have my vehicle setting outside at church…Will make decision soon…
We have a real April Fool! Lady Bird Kestrel laid one egg this morning. Looks like a pink golf ball. Since they nest in dirt and small stones, if it was speckled, well…
She should lay one about every other day - can’t remember for sure - until she has about 4-6 eggs then she will start to get really serious about this whole motherhood deal.
Daddy was so pleased he brought her a headless mouse. She chattered something to him and flew out of the box. So he ate it.
Peace be with you. 65 and cloudy in Caroina, headed for 80 later with more of the same, so sez they. Congrats to UK on their win. I was going to watch and cheer them on, but got mixed up on the time and checked in in time to get the closing credits. From what I heard later, Terrence Jones is a class act and a real gentleman after that collision with the cheerleader! I shall pull for UK because of that.
A front came through last night, I think, or is about to. My jints are talking trash this morning.
I have gotten interested in the battle between the Bismarck and the Hood. There are some top notch videos on the net of the wreck explorations of both ships that I have become addicted to. It is amazing how nowadays, even wrecks 3 miles underwater can be found, explored and filmed in extreme clarity.
About all for this session. Everyone take care and stay safe.
End. No more.
A little damp this morning, but no snow, although it’s about cold enough for it. Maybe things will finally start to warm up again.
Naval battles are an interest of mine, as well - there have been some doozies in the modern era.
There’s a movie about the sinking of the Bismark. Romantic and dramatic sub-plots not withstanding, it follows the timeline pretty well.
As fascinating as they are, however, they’re like tornados - there’s a toll to be paid.
The new digs look great - very spring-like. We may have to put a large screen monitor so Mookie can track the birds, though…
^~^ Mookie loves birdies…
(1) Ohio State will now refuse to schedule or play Kansas for 60+ years. (a la their refusal to schedule Cincinnati’s Bearcats)…Don’t say Rock-Chalk-Jayhawk anywhere near Columbus for a while.
(2) BNSF has been moving great bunches of wind farm appliances north through Denver lately. A unit train of blades on modified TOFC flats came thru yesterday. The gawkers and fomites chasing the train on the freeway (I-25) near South Park Junction almost caused a dozen accidents.
(3) I think that CRRM has a winner on their hands w/ Goose Fest 2012…Most of the promo material has yet to go out and the museum already has its hands full. The rumor mill has run amok.
(4) Hope I can say something in about ten years about some of the research I’ve been asked to do lately. Amazing how history (and the real facts)gets turned on its head by buttonpushers with an agenda.
Happy Weekend Railfans!
Fire 90% Contained! - They say we might get SNOW/ RAIN soon!!!
Afternoon all. Had to put on my winter coat this morning, to go to Church, just to keep the water off myself. It was really pouring, when I left the house at 9:55, for 10:00 Sunday School. After Church, when I came out to walk back to the house, the sun was trying to shine. and the sun is shining now, but our current temp is only in the low to mid 70s at 5:18 p.m.
For our Sunday Dinner:
Sloppy joes w/fries and salad
Meat loaf w/choice of green beans, broccoli w/butter sauce, cream style corn w/made from scratch buttermilk biscuits or cornbread and mashed taters & gravy
Desserts:
Yellow cake w/chocolate icing
Peach cobbler
Strawberry cheesecake
Hope everyone is having a good afternoon, have a good evening, take care and see you all in the morning.

…Well it’s been mostly sunshine and warm today. Don’t know if there existed any hail balls or not, but we certainly didn’t get any here. Glad the weather people were not correct in it’s location or path, as we saw none.
Took the chance and went to church as always…And to Olive Garden.
We’re to really get warm this week. In the 70’s today.
QM: Might consider breaking out the lawnmower in about three weeks and cut the scraggly stuff.
Lucky you! We’re forecast to have high temps in the mid 40’s with dew points also in the low 40’s all week, thanks due to an easterly wind off of Lake Michigan. After being in the mid 80’s not too long ago, these temps feel like we’ve returned to late winter. YUK!!
Not scraggly M C, but if the rain stays away tomorrow…l will make my 6th mowing…
And Zardoz…Hang in there, the heat will soon get to you. I saw on the news today a graphic that showed the US, and where all heat records have been set recently…It was really impressive. Believe it was over 4,000 locations.
Good Monday morning everyone. Starting out with temps in the low to mid 60s here in Louisville this morning, going for a high of 77 this afternoon. We do have a slight possibility of a shower or two, but will stay mostly sunny for the day. Will make for an interesting day, as I believe Ky. is starting Spring Break today. The rug rats/yard apes will be out in force.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausage, whatever kind of cereal you want, fresh fruit, is on the food bar.
Anyone have any food suggestions for me for today? My mind isn’t cooperating with me this morning in the thinking/planning mode.
SAFETY NOTE: Anyone traveling I-65, north and south bound lanes will have the left lane closed this week for barrier replacement work, and resurfacing, in the downtown area, between Chestnut Street on down to the Watterson Expressway. So anyone passing through Louisville, will have to slow down and watch out for the workers as well as other drivers.
Everyone have a good morning, take care and see you all later.
Afternoon Railfans!
Cloudy and cool but still no signs of Rain or Snow here but we will take after setting so many records last month which lead to the conditions that started the fire in the first place.

Nice and sunny today, if cool. Supposed to be pretty chilly again tonight. I think it’s too late for the maple syrup producers, though. Our early “spring” kinda raised Cain with that industry.
The nice weather and a new pressure washer meant I could spend some time working on prepping the house for painting, though. Now all I need is some warm weather so I can slap the stain on what I’ve got ready.
Truck headed to the shop for a front end alignment tomorrow - then I have to shop around for some tires. They don’t owe me a thing, that’s for sure.
