Good morning!  A 3 day weekend for some.  Chores in the morning, trains in the afternoon...at least that's my plan.  First, coffee.

Good morning Mark and everyone arriving later.


Another single digit start to the day, but at least it isn't a negative single digit. 


Looks like I better make sure the tractors are ready to plow out from our next snowfall forecast to start tonight. 


Everyone have a safe and productive day!

Morning, all.

Five below here, and we will barely break zero today.  Tomorrow is supposed to be colder.   :( I'm getting ready for work, at least it's only a seven hour day today.

Howdy!


It is cold here (compared to what it normally would be) and they are calling for snow tomorrow. We still have ice on the trees and power lines but the roads are clear. Nevertheless, I plan to exercise my portable generator today to ensure I can power the lighted magnifying lamp I use at my workbench when I build model trains just in case....


Stay dafe out there and carry on.

Morning,

The diorama track is slowly getting back into gauge, some how it shifted after the move and got out of level and parallel.

Happy Saturday, all

Remember what tomorrow is.  If you haven't picked up anything for the love of your life, better get scrambling.

Not a good forecast for tonight and tomorrow.  Getting to be a regular thing of late.  Like Jaime, I tried to fire up the generator.  Rope barely moves when pulled.  Now what?  Contacted three outfits who service them; none came back.  Fingers crossed. Any ideas? (It ran fine, started easy in November)

So, it's hunker down time.  Great to have a hobby.

Larry

Good morning! Cold and snowing here, too. We haven't got much snow but the temperatures have been hovering around 0. More great modeling weather.  I'm going to go take advantage of it.  I hope everyone has a great day.

Morning all,

Looking forward to some workbench time later on today.  First a couple of quick errands with Jr. which end with hitting the drive thru at Chick-Fil-A for breakfast.

I do my Anniversary shopping (2/10) and Valentines Day shopping at the same time so I have that covered Larry.  After 31 years together there's really not much we need/want so we keep it low key.  :)

Rain and Lighting arrived about 30 minutes ago. Had trouble sleeping last night so feel tired today. Plan on bench time soon but coffee first.

Stay well folks.

Good Morning All,

Cool and rainy here. Lawn camp tomorrow may be delayed since it's supposed to rain all weekend. The trash hot tub was hauled off yesterday.

Got word this morning that my check card was compromised. The only place I have used it this week was at the gas station but I paid inside.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Winter finally decided to show up.  Single digit to minus single digit temps for several days.  I hope the split unit for the train cave can handle it.  By the end of next week, they are forecasting highs in the 40s.

Seasonally cold in SE NH, snow possible tomorrow, more likely Monday/Tuesday. 

Some progress on "Planting" the switcher shed.  If the Sculptamold is dry, I'll paint and apply some dirt ground cover (removing the switcher shed first :-) )

Weren't calling for much snow for my area on Monday and Tuesday. At some point today they snuck in a Winter Storm Watch for 6 -9 inches, good thing Monday's a holiday!
