Title: Sunday, March 30, 2025
Post by: Zephyrus52246 on March 30, 2025, 07:57:58 AM
Morning all.

Thanks for all the kind wishes yesterday for my wife and granddaughter.  Hoping the latter can go home today.  

Here it's going to start raining soon (which is good) with a high later of 61 degrees.  

Breakfast is yogurt and/or  Luftwaffles with maple syrup.  Bacon and sausage patties as well.  Drinks at the end of the line.  You'll have to make your own coffee as I don't drink that stuff.  

Let's have a great week, folks!

Jeff

Good Morning,

Jeff thanks for the breakfast and the coffee's pot's on and ready.

It's currently 40 going to 63 with rain in New York. May mess around with the micro later.

Have an enjoyable day!!

Rain overnight continues but tapering off until mid afternoon when we'll be in a Severe Storm Risk area.  The area does need the rain.  Temps in upper 30s going to approach the mid 60s.  The temps will drop considerably during the stormy period with 400 tomorrow with some sn*&^%  >:( Northern MI and the Yoop are under and ICE STORM Warning...

None of that coffee stuff for me, either, thanks.  I'll have a diet Coke with my Luftwaffles and syrup, a couple sausage patties, too, as long as I am fantasizing  ::)

Little planned here today, the 'geek squad' I call them, middle daughter, husb and teenage couch potato coming this afternoon.  :-X

I've been researching trestle bridge construction for a different project.  The new layout section progresses, I hung masonite strips 8" wide as back ground, attaching them in place with velcro squares to allow access to the electrical rats nest under the main layout.  I'm trying to figure out a track plan, 16' x 2' area to work with. 

Our SPARTANS play the next round in the NCAA today,it might present a bit of a challenge  as the Auburn crew was pretty strong when they eliminated the A2 weasels in the last round.

Thas it from the mitten, y'all be safe and dry!  Best to those on the recovery list happy thoughts and prayers.

It was "wintery mix" yesterday, and again today but mostly rain today.  The weather did break a bit late afternoon, so we got in some Scotch Club rounds.  Today's my 43rd wedding anniversary, wife and I will go for brunch somewhere (she hates going out Sunday evenings.)   Then I'll probably mix up some Sculptamold to work around the plastic 'rock castings'.

Morning all,

Jeff continued prayers for your wife and grand daughter for their complete recovery. Thanks for breakfast also.

Gators are moving on the the Final Four in basketball. I think they will play either Mich. or Auburn.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone.

Thanks for the coffee Jeff, hope your wife and granddaughter have a speedy recovery.

Dave, happy anniversary to you and your wife, enjoy brunch.

It's currently 69F and overcast/rainy here in Jacksonville Fl.  Already did my grocery run this morning and I see bench time later today.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning, all.  I'm closer to the Atlantic and south of Dave, so while I've seen snow falling, none stuck except a little on the grass in the fields we mowed Friday.  One more Thai family I know checked in OK.  Not a lot of layout work yesterday, but I did start supports for buildings on the Downtown Newburyport peninsula. Will continue as soon as I shut off the computer.

Best wishes to your family, Jeff.

Morning all,

Happy Anniversary to Dave and Mrs. Dave!  ;D

We're supposed to get some thunder boomers this afternoon.  We can use the rain.  Guess I'll pull out the workbench.

Have a great one!

Good afternoon, All!

Wet and more wet here in the northern mitten, with temps in the thirties and the really cold ugly and WGFA  still well to the north.

Best wishes to Jeff and his family, to James and his family, and a very happy anniversary with many more to come for Dave and his wife.

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

Thanks!  Brunch was good, although we're not used to such big meals in the morning.  I'm back from taking the dogs for their mid-day walk.  One neighbor was finishing his run, and Titus encouraged him to 'finish strong' (by chasing him a bit and barking.)  The neighbors all know to ignore Titus when he barks at them, Titus is just looking for attention.  

So down to the train room!
