Morning all,

Nothing planned for today except taking the wife to PT later.  Brutal day yesterday at work.  At least it seems spring has sprung here.

It's a nice spring day here, too.  Warmer tomorrow, approaching 80, but showers and humid. Ugh, it's too early for "muggy".   The new skylights are MUCH more clear than the 25 year old predecessors, so much so there's glare on the laptop as I type this...

The neighbor's daughter has a lab puppy, and the neighbor was dog-sitting, so I had to stop over and say hello.   

Not sure what I'll tackle today in the train room...

Good Morning;

Hay did anyone turn on the coffee pot? OK it is on now with Starbucks brewing. The wife and I will be heading out to the Florida Panhandle later this afternoon. We are staying with son Craig and his family who are down from Toledo. I'm looking forward to the change of pace, the grandkids are growing to fast, the oldest heads to college this year, seems like yesterday I was holding a little bundle in my arms.

I have been printing some 3D accessories for the layout, shovels, tool boxes, road signs and such. Making them up in batches and leaving them unpainted until needed. Other then that not much modeling. Our pool is now full of water so essentially done. Need to sweep it daily for next month I am told to bring out the color and wait a week before swimming but all in all it came out great and summer is here in Florida. Well off to pack, have a great day.

Jim

Mother Nature about to deliver a bit of unneeded "whoopa$$" from T-storm Warning earlier than forecast. It's getting dark :o looks much worse N of me. Thousands still out from the ice 2 weeks ago.

Good morning, all. Karl, I took my snowblower off my tractor also. That's because my ex plowed the 'home piece' this morning using one of her tractors. Mine will disk harrow it, probably next week.  80 degrees and I still have my storms on (May 1 is about the right time to remove them most years).

Good luck with the weather, Karl.  Two weeks to get service back to everyone sounds like maybe the C-level executives shouldn't get a bonus.

Yesterday was all Trolley Museum and home repair. Today's farming is done, bills are paid, back up to the layout later - two op sessions two weeks from now...

Hideho Neighbours! 

Stay safe Karl.  I too am taking the V-Plow off the mule today as I think we are safe from snow! Going over to a friends on Sunday for a bit of a celebration as he has just come home from 10 months of leukemia treatments, bone marrow transplants. He was declared cancer free and deserves a big unwind so it is a bond fire and I am making pretzels and cheese sauce!

Let the detail madness continue!
