Morning all,

I brought some donuts and bagels (with smear).  It's up to you to supply your beverage of choice today.

Just another day at the salt mine.  A couple of meetings this morning and testing code are on the agenda.  Yuck.  No workbench time today.  Double yuck.

Have a great one!

Good morning.

Yesterday's heavy rain changed to snow overnight, though it fell well short of the forecast 2" accumulation.  My lawn is white with a little green peeking through here and there.  It is in the high 20's and blustery with a wind chill in the teens.  Brr!  Then again, if you aren't here shivering with me when I go outside, do you really care? 

Still working on Christmas prep, with hopefully some modeling time squeezed in somewhere.  Either way, it beats sitting in meetings like Bob.  Sorry Bob!

I hope everyone has a safe and warm day!

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Bob. The bagels are good.

Bowling at noon for Pam and I and then late lunch with bowling friends.

I cut the grass yesterday to beat the cold wave. Glad I did as it is now 45 here at the A&S RR Office.

Have a safe and healthy day ya'll.

Tom

Good morning, light snow -12 C last night. Daughter is coming home for Christmas today and the house has to be spotless, according to my wife.

My blood glucose is going to be out of wack for the next two weeks, I guess we will have to deal with it by getting track back to level.

Speaking of SALT;

After shoveling the walk and front steps, I had to spread a little of it. Oh, well...Musn't complain too much, the driveway is always easy to do because it's so short. If I park the car in the drive, the bumper would stick out in the street.

Good morning!  We have a coating of the white stuff but not enough to get the tractor out. I'm taking a little break between Xmas prep chores.  We will have a house full starting tomorrow and through the holidays.  The trains will get a workout with the Grandkids.  I hope everyone has a great day.

Today's accomplishment was doing some pick-up/put-away and sweeping the floor underneath the area where I've been working on scenery.  I still have things to put away, but at least I'm not tripping over stuff on the floor.
