Morning all,

Cool here but not real cold. Only 49F.

My plan is to continue work on the REA build. I'm way behind on any sort of update on the thread.

Have a great day ya'll.

Morning Tom and all who follow,

My plan for today is to test the XAA extract....oh wait, you don't care about that.   :)  My plan is to survive another day at work and dream about the workbench.  That's more like it.  I did get quite a bit done at the workbench over the weekend.  Not as much as I had hoped, but that's par for the course.

Have a great one!

Well, they said we got 13", but I only measured 6" on the ground.  Schools here are open.  I'll probably get out the snow rake and push snow off the porch roof before tomorrow evening's promised heavy rains.  Rain on top of snow makes a nasty roof load.  Still, I'll take this over hurricanes or tornadoes..

Morning, all.

Our snow is due to start at 1700 hours, up to 8 inches through tomorrow.  Hopefully my morning commute will be fine, but I doubt it. 

I did get some ground cover applied yesterday, the first time in a couple of years.  I need to write down the materials list as I'm running low on some items, and to remain consistent over time.

Glad the Patriots lost so we are set at the #3 draft pick.

Trip to the grocery store is on tap for this morning.

Actually Bob, I'd be interested to know what you do as I would the other guys who report in here.

I'm mostly retired but continue to do some freelance Autocad computer drafting for a few of the Central Florida glass and glazing contractors

Who's next

Good morning.

Like Dave, we received about six inches of the white stuff. Since it stopped snowing here by mid-day yesterday, the roads are clear and everything is open.

I've been paying bills this morning (yuck!).  Now on to the good stuff...

I hope everyone has a safe and rewarding day!

Good, see you Saturday. I never got the response. I wasn't even sure my PM went through.

Good morning!  The little bit of snow that we got yesterday is now gone. I have used the plow once so far this year, in October. Technically I guess that was last year. ;) Not complaining but it sure has been a strange winter, so far.  All depends on the jet stream for us, right now everything is going South of the Great Lakes. As Grandma used to say, this to will pass. 

I have been spending a lot of time in the train room, I'm going through one of those highly motivated periods where I'm getting things done.

I hope everyone has a great day,

Good Morning,

Life is back to normal today, 1" of snow and it is going to melt by the end of the day.  I think I will try to stay inside for the rest of the week and work on the diorama.

Afternoon all. Gray, chilly and I have a doctors appointment I'm not looking forward too. Got a little modeling in this morning. Hopefully some again this evening. Have a great day.

Afternoon All,

As Tom mentioned there was a cold start to the day here. Spent several hours doing chores inside and outside. In the train room I did a mod to the garage. I tried one way that I didn't like so ended up doing it again. Sounds like Terry (Vietnam Seabee) will be at Tom's Saturday, so I plan on being there.

I hope everyone has a good day.
