No big deal. I know you wander up this way from time to time, so I thought I’d take advantage of the opportunity for a face-to-face should it arise.
After I finish up my bearclaw, it’t time for errands.
Hey everyone. Made it back in, after all. And, before I forget to mention it, again, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY , DEGGESTY!! [bday][bday][bday][bday]
I also forgot to ask you what your favorite meal would be for today, and your favorite birthday dessert. But, I hope you will like what we have in store today: Walt has made his grandmother’s spaghetti casserole, and we have fresh garden salad, and your choice of Italian bread, garlic bread, or garlic Texas toast.
Dessert: How about chocolate cake w/white frosting, pineapple upside down cake, and yellow cake w/chocolate frosting
Johnny, hope your birthday is being a very good one so far, and that you are enjoying it to the fullest!!
Happy Birthday DEGGESTY!
Afternoon all.
Having problems with the internet now. That’s why I haven’t been able to get on.
There is a big dust collector fire here at the local steel mill in Attica IN. Attica VFD just got toned out, and also advising at this time they can’t get the main gate open, so the have to use the east gate.
Have a good evening
Justin

Thanks, Paula. I did have boiled corned beef on my birthday last month. Chocolate cake is one of my favorites–and I do not get enough pineapple upside cake (once, when I was in college, I had more than I could eat at supper and–horror of horrors–I did the forbidden and took a bowl of it to my room to eat later, and managed to get the empty bowl back without being detected; our waitress almost always would bring me a bowl of dessert in addition to the little bowl of it that everyone was served).
It’s good to hear that you have received good medical reports. Keep the good work up.
Johnny
Johnny - Happy Birthday!
I’m not sure who sent us the freezing drizzle, but you can have it back. At least I got my shopping, etc, done first. Could make for an interesting night. Gotta decide if I want to pre-treat the driveway. I saw a state DOT truck out today with nothing but salt in the spreader…
good morning
Larry I agree.We do not need any freezing drizzle here either.The guessers are saying we might have some tonight into tomorow.Thankfully tonight is friday for us.Cw I am taking some oatmeal and orange juice.Time for a nap.Errands to run this afternoon.
stay safe
Joe
Good Thursday morning, everyone. Joe, you’re welcome, and Johnny, I’m glad I remembered the little thing about pineapple upside down cake! Glad to know you enjoyed your birthday.
As Joe said, there’s plenty of oatmeal, toast, bagels, bear claws, and the other breakfast items on the serving station, along with the coffee, juices, and hot beverages.
Think I’m ready for a “nap” myself, Joe. Everyone have a good morning, stay warm, keep safe and take care.
Happy belated birthday, Johnny! [bday]
Well, second semester is underway. My classes this semester are Psychology, Sociology, World Literature One, Calculus II, and Spanish. Every student must complete at least one semester of a foreign language, whether they want to or not, so I’m stuck with it, despite the fact that I already took four years of Spanish in high school. This is also the only semester out of my entire college career that there are no atmospheric sciences courses. I did luck out with Calculus. My first Calculus class was supposed to be today, but the professor is out of town, so the start of the class is delayed until Tuesday.
The weather has warmed up considerably. Our high yesterday was 41 degrees and we’re headed for the mid 30s today. I thanked my friend from Tuscon, Arizona for bringing some nicer weather back to Omaha with him when he came back from winter break.
Hope everyone has a great day today!
Willy - At least you can use the Spanish, although the Latin I took in HS has come in handy from time to time…
Still some freezing drizzle in the forecast, but so far it’s had no effect here. We’re actually teasing the freezing mark right now. I should go clean some of that packed snow off the driveway!
In the meantime, though, I’ve got to muddle through some proposed changes to our EMS squad’s bylaws.
Sunshine plus today here in central Indiana…Well accepted too…and the much warmer temps…To be a bit above 40 by late afternoon.
January is moving right along…Wonderful. Gaining daylight now both morning and evening…sneaking up now on a total increase of daylight to near half an hour.
Good evening, everyone. Walt and I have had a very busy day. We’re getting a new furnace, so we’ve had to move things around, etc., to get ready for the furnace to be installed. We have worked our hind ends off, believe you me! I think we are both tea totally worn out.
Supper tonight: burgers, cheeseburgers, and your choice of fries or onion rings, with garden salad.
Believe it or not, our official high today reached 50 degrees!! It was down right balmy today. Won’t have that temp again tomorrow, though, as we’re to start getting off and on drizzle sometime after midnight.
Everyone have a very good evening, stay warm, keep safe and take care.
Ooooh! CB, medium well, swiss cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato. Actually, some bacon would be good, too! And onion rings. My virtual arteries are going to take a beating tonight!
Just back from the bylaw meeting. It’s now my job to turn the proposed changes into resolutions so we can vote on them at the next board meeting. This’ll take some time.
Good Friday morning, everyone. Nice outside this morning. We have had a little bit of drizzle this morning, but nothing right now.
In about three hours, the men will be here to get started on putting in the ductwork, and installing the new furnace. So, guess someone will have to take care of our Friday Fish Fry for me at lunch time.
But I do have the coffee, juices, and hot beverages ready to go, along with the regular Friday morning doughnuts, danish, and muffins on the serving station.
I will try to get back in, but I don’t know how long we’ll be unable to get to the puter, as Mookie says. Everyone have a good day, keep warm, stay safe and take care.
good morning
happy friday! we just have some drizzle but none of it is frozen so matt is on time today.We’ll see how this afternoon looks.We might go find some trains when he gets home from school.Today is the halfway point of the school year already.Cw thanks for the breakfast.

Good morning and thanks for breakfast. 26 and partly clear in Carolina an hour after sunrise. Paula, the part finally came in and our furnace will be repaired later today. Congrats on yours, A busy day is in store. I’m waiting on a plumber in a few minutes and then the furnace man. All for a good cause, tho. Everybody take care and stay warm.
