Title: March 9 Time Change Lounge
Post by: jbvb on March 09, 2025, 11:50:02 AM
Good morning, all. It's been sunny and warming up on the NH Seacoast all morning.  Rail Anchor blend is heating up in the urn,  tea & hot chocolate hot water also filled and switched on, fruit, cereal and a box of donuts on the counter.  Fresh eggs from my flock in a basket, in case you need something with less carbs.

My computer is telling me it's almost lunch time, but this morning I'm ignoring remote-control clocks.  When my Russian Submarine 8-day clock runs down tonight, I'll adjust both it and my watch.  The 8-day clock is the 3rd we bought when Glasnost was turning into the launch pad for the current regime ; the first two clocks died in a year, but this one is now about 30 and I've never taken the fourth we bought as a backup out of its box.

After lunch, off with the computer and up to the layout!

Morning James,

Already had breakfast but thanks. I'll have a donut for later.

I'm in the train shed but have a few 1:1 stuff to do first.

Have a great day ya'll.

Good morning everyone.

Sunny and a high of 56 later in Pacific Grove.

James, thanks for the second cup.

Just finishing a video and will then load it to YouTube.
Not sure what else I'll do today other than walk with Star.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all.

Sunny and supposed to get to 63 today.  May need to take the dog for a walk.  Only able to do about 5 minutes on the elliptical, being out of shape and my knee issues are limiting that.  I'll just do several short bursts to build up.  

Hope to get back to the kit build today, we'll see.

Good morning, all.  I've already had breakfast, so just a cup of Rail Anchor blend for me.

We're going to be in the mid 50's today.  The sun's out, so we're about to go for a walk.  I'm going to stop by the train club later.

There's been some on-again/off-again low clouds or haze, burning off to sun.  Highs heading up to 42 or so. 

Well, I reset the clock on the microwave, and moved the self-adjusting clocks to windowsills.  Tomorrow they'll be correct.  I still need to do the clock in my truck, and the clocks in the basement.  All the rest set themselves...  I'll head down to the basement in a bit to see if I can generate steam on the Ambroid car. 

I'm really enjoying James' fast-forward playback of his layout build and associated threads.  I've seen his layout several times, so it's fun to remember how it's evolved.  And his wife's Newburyport architecture looks even better in person than it does in the photos.

Good afternoon, All! 

It's 50, headed for 53, and mostly sunny (!!!) here in the northern mitten today.  The clocks are mostly reset, and Somebody needs to get into the basement to prep the railroad for the Op Session on Wednesday night.

It's apparently also National Napping Day, so that may bear some consideration.  Hmmmmm....

Gotta agree with Dave on the James railroad comments.  It's always a pleasure to see, and Nid's work is better in person than in photos!

Make it a great day, All, and stay safe!
