Good Wednesday morning to one and all! Still getting light rain around here. 40% chance of light rain, off and all all morning, and supposed to ‘clear’ sometime this afternoon.
Coffee has finished brewing, fresh juices are ready in the cooler, and got hot water for tea and cocoa. On the warmer bar, you’ll find: turkey bacon, sausage links and patties, hash browns, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, blueberry muffins, bagels, bear claws, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy.
For the last week, we have had the Extreme Makeover Home Edition here in town, building a brand new home for one of our "local celebrity Crusade for Children recipients, a now 19 year old, who was born without eyes, and unable to straighten his arms and legs. The show sent him and his family to London, England, and they will get to see their new home around 2 p.m. today. They also went to the University of Louisville, and redid the band’s practice area, so his Dad can better push him around, in the band’s formations. This young man plays the trumpet for the U of L band, and he performs and sings every year at the Crusade. (If anyone would like to check out his new home, you can go to: www.whas11.com and click on the link to see what’s exactly been going on. This child, now man, even wrote a song, several years ago, to the tune of Wabash Cannonball, called Crusade Cannonball, and sings it every year the the WHAS Crusade for Children telethon here.
I come in grab a bear claw and juice and dreading today. Called my weekly torture session and this week they are introducing weight training into the mix GOD HELP ME. All week long I am told keep it in a sling immobile but for bathing and changing clothes then I have to use it sorry my arm does not work that way. 2 weeks till I get full use back then there is the rest of rehab to do.
warm but damp here this morning.waiting for a dryer day to go down into the old neighboorhood to help a former neighboor.alot of leaves are still on the trees down there.Hope mutt gets feeling better soon.hey did you hear about the truck driver who had a delivery in portland? well he was in washinton when he should have gone to Maine.
Good morning. We have a temperature of 39 degrees here in Sioux Falls, and it is supposed to warm up here to about 46 this afternoon. I have the day off and will spend some time just cleaning my house and putting things away where they belong. I got my gutters cleaned out yesterday afternoon and got my yard cleaned up for what I hope is the last time. My neighbor to the north of me has a huge maple tree, and hopefully it has dropped the last of it’s leaves. Most of this old tree is actually sitting across my property line.
Maybe I will go do some train watching on the BNSF here later this afternoon.
Sir C - when you bring your hair out at 5:15 am - it usually doesn’t blow that bad. But it will get worse as the day drags on. We sound like the pneumonia ward here in the dept and I think about 99% of it is blowing dirt, tumbleweeds and molded whatever from Denver. Ah the Great Plains!
Greetings from Carolina this lovely morning. 56 degrees and partly clear outside. Sorry to hear Mutt still has the miseries. I know what he is going through!!. CW, if you can come up with some red grape juice, I will be in shortly. As usual, looking for buttermilk pancakes to start the day right. Take care, all.
Tom, our temp here, at 11:37, is holding at 67 so far. Forecasted high today, mid to upper 60s. So we’ll see what it actually gets to later on. I’ll extend your wishes to Mutt. And grape juice (red, purple, white) are always around here, so help yourself. I’ve fixed you some buttermilk pancakes, so you can start your day!
For everyone on the east coast, I have fixed for lunch: beef pot roast w/taters, carrots & onion cooked together, green sweet peas, creamed corn, biscuits and/or cornbread (whichever you prefer), and for dessert, took out a freshly baked chocolate cake, and a couple of apple pies and pumpkin pies.
thanks for supper tonight.did make it down to the old hood today.lots of leaves to clean up.got the gutters too while I was down there.meanwhile csx runs a train with a bnsf gp38-2 sd45 warbonnet and a sd40-2 .it also had a rail bending car on the end.hope mutt is on the mend cw.
Morning everyone. Believe it or not, it is 62 degrees here in Carolina this morning. No breakfast for me since I have to see the quack at 0945 and I shall have to subsist on diet Mountain Dew until I break out of there. About the only good thing going this morning is the fact that the receptionist is cute as a button and friendly to boot! That can cure a plethora of woes. Have a good day in RR country and see yall later.
Good Thursday morning, everyone! Our current temp is around 39, 40, and our high today isn’t supposed to get above the upper 40s. Winds are out of the northwest, and could gust between 15 - 20 mph. Tom hope everything goes well for you today.
Coffee is on, juices are made, hot milk ready for hot chocolate, and hot water for tea.
On the warmer bar: everything for everyone. Bagels for Mookie, bear claws for Larry, sausage, sausage gravy, homemade biscuits, etc., Don’t think I forgot anything, but I’m sure someone around here will let me know, if I did.[:P]
Will see you all later in the morning. Need to start planning today’s meals. (Believe, if everyone agrees, we’ll have pork chop abracadbra and our Thursday Pizza Fest. )
Wet and cool here this morning - a quarter inch of rain already when I checked the home weather station. Snow in the forecast, but hopefully nothing significant. Got a 2 hour road trip to a railroad luncheon on Saturday. For what it will cost me in gas, I could have a pretty nice meal right here, but there’s the camaraderie…
I’ll take another of those bearclaws and some tea, s’il vous plaît.
wet and damp here as well this morning.mamma and I are discussing what we are wearing for work tonight.its rivalry day today.matt and i are going to the store later and help out with a christmas for kids program.(its kind of like wowos penny pinch drives they used to have)
…J…That wouldn’t help much, as most of them are performance models, but not all…How about a '41 Chevrolet convertible, cream in color with a black top and red leather interior, and wood grained finish trimmed, dash. It has 216 cid engine that would do very well on gasoline…!
A '41! That is even older than me by two years! Sounds wonderful! And you could say it was only driven by a little old man…who won’t let the little old lady drive! [V]
…And me being a bit older the above writing reminds me of an incident {involving 12" = 1’}…I remember riding home from the dealer with big brother in a green '40 Chevrolet convertible with tan leather interior and light color top as he just received it.
Wonder if that’s why I have the '41 in my collection of models…Close as I could get to a '40.
And one more thing remembered…On that trip home we had to stop for a train…Powered by steam engines…a coal train on the S&C branch of then, B&O at Geiger, Pa. Now that really makes my writings legal…{but the story is really true}.
