Good Wednesday morning everyone. Well, it looks like we have an opthalmologist as our State Senator this morning. I haven’t totally looked at the winners list, but so far, not one person I voted for won yesterday. Oh well, better luck next time.

Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Mookie, here’s your coffee mug! I think we’ll just sit inside the Cafe, and sit by the window to watch our trains go by this morning. (With a head cold, I’m not particularly interested in being outside too much.)

On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast, sausage gravy.

Guess in a couple of hours, I’ll get the bills paid for this month, and see if I have anything left to get Walt’s birthday present for Monday, other than his Trains Magazine subscription that I’ll be renewing for him, that is.

Everyone have a good morning, and I’ll be over in my rocker by the window.

We don’t know who is our next Illinois governor. And I am hungry this morning.

My home state has elected a new governor - a Republican, and we also have a new state representative, also a Republican.

I am going to have french toast and a few slices of bacon for breakfast this morning, but I have to wash dishes first. I’ve got a pound of ground beef in my fridge thawing out, and I am thinking about making a pot of chili with it.

I’m hoping the rest of you will all have a good day!

Top of the morning to ye. 51 and cloudy in Carolina with rain later. Paula, usually I’m in your boat, but somebody I voted for actually won yesterday. My cousin, Joe Wilson (you lie) held his congressional seat and his son, Alan Wilson is our new Attorney General. All told, at the state and federal level, the only Dem is Jim Clyburn. Even 16 termer John Spratt got beat.

Thanks for breakfast, and everyone have a great day

Voting…Sure would have liked to, but still being careful and trying to recover from whatever nasty stuff that takes us down sometimes.

My, we’ve had a busy day around the house today. Got the bills paid, and even went and did a little grocery shopping. Got a turkey, and it is in the freezer, waiting for Thanksgiving Day.

Here is our menu for tonight:

  1. Your choice of T-bone or New York Strip steak

  2. Pulled pork w/grilled shrimp

  3. Country fried chicken

  4. Sirloin beef tips

Here is the selection of side dishes:

  1. Baked potato, Caesar salad, mashed taters, apple sauce, seasoned rice, green beans and steak fries

Desserts:

  1. Apple pie

  2. Strawberry cheese cake

  3. Brownies

Everyone enjoy, have a good evening and take care.

Apple pie and some Whitey’s ice cream (available in fine stores in the area)

MC - I’ve got two packages of gandy dancers (12 workers). The only “person” who looks like a surveyor is in the road workers set, and we know where that can lead us…

Been working on a project for the fire station - new antenna for one of the radios and a weather station. Both have to go up on the 50’ tower and I’m not climbing that. I’m not afraid of the height - I just don’t think the tower would be up to it.

Fortunately, the town highway department has a man lift and they’ll be in town with it in the next week or two, so we’ll be able to get the stuff installed on the tower.

The antenna is done and tested (a “j-pole” - which looks like it’ll work well and was easy to build out of copper pipe), and the weather station is “in the mail.” Still have to work out the mounts for that.

Good Thursday morning everyone. Cool, with a current temp of 46 degrees at 6:21 a.m. It’s going to be a very cool and windy day, with a cold front coming in later this afternoon. Overnight and tomorrow, we may see some snow flurries, not supposed to be any accumulation, as the ground temp is too warm.

Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & sausage gravy, and there’s some cereal, if anyone just wants a bowl of cereal this morning.

I can tell that our weather is going to be changing: my left knee is letting me know this morning, it does not like the weather we’re about to get. It is hurting like crazy.

Everyone have a good morning, take care and see you all later.

Good morning and peace be with you. 57 and heavy rain in Carolina. expected to hit 57 so we are there. We are supposed to have a new storm door installed today, but I guess that’s out. Looks like a good day for the wireless and/or napping.

Everyone have a great day

Good afternoon all. It looks like it has been very s l o o o w in here this morning.

Walt has picked today’s menu. So, you’ll see three large Crock Pots/Slow Cookers with the following in them:

  1. Beef stew

  2. Vegetable beef soup

  3. Chili (made it mild, so if anyone wants spicy hot, tabasco sauce, and hot picante sauce and hot salsa are on the counter for you to add to your taste buds)

Everyone have a good afternoon, and see you all later.

Heck, I was in the Air Force, and I’ve got a Shellback card…

Well, I haven’t been across the Equator yet.

I know Politics are not supposed to be done here, but I have to share this one. From today’s Progressive Railroading online version; the “Tea Party”,et. al. wants to give you a “One Way Ticket to Donner Pass”…Hmmmmmm?!

Good Friday morning, and Joe, thanks for taking care of breakfast! It’s always nice to come in, and see someone has helped me out around here in some way!

We have had some rain overnight, and the current temp is around 43, 42 degrees here in Louisville. But with the wind chill, it feels like 30 something outside. So far this morning, I haven’t seen any snow flurries.

Everyone have a good morning, and I’ll see you all later. And Joe, the hot chocolate sounds real good this morning!!

BRRRRRRR…IT’S COLD HERE!!! TIME TO BREAK OUT THE HOT CHOCOLATE!!!

We have 22 degrees here in Sioux Falls, but at least it is not snowing here.

Mornin all. 42 and clear in paradise with a high suggested at 56. Today is quack day and I have to have me foot checked by the surgeon. Looks to be a nice day weatherwise.

Everyone take care

Thirty-eight and rainy, with snow indicated over Tug Hill. Comes pretty close to what I define as “miserable.” All we lack is wind…

Soup is good for this kind of weather. I’ll get a couple of crocks going. Maybe some chicken veggie, some tomato (to go along with the grilled cheese sandwiches), and some broccoli and cheddar.

The High in Louisville is “forecast” to be 48 degrees, right now it’s 45 with a “wind chill”, one of my most unfavorite sayings…Soup & Broccoli sound real good, you can keep the cheddar though, please.

CW and I were going through the “Farmer’s Almanac” earlier; after our extra hot summer, looks like we’re in for a cold, nasty winter.

Tom, hope your “Quack” visit goes well.
