Title: Tuesday 29-Apr-25 Lounge
Post by: jbvb on April 29, 2025, 09:15:31 AM
A quick stop to open up: Timetable tea and Clearance Form A coffee are warming up in their respective urns, Fruit, Congdon's Donuts and a plate of molasses cookies are on the counter.

Sunny, 40s overnight, headed for 80F(!) on the NH seacoast today, no rain in the forecast till the weekend.  Did the kid's car insurance bureaucracy (GEICO once was very fast on the phone, now they really want me to carry their app around on my cell >:( ). But with just the basic coverage and elderly cars he's not too expensive.  Once I've done a bit here, back upstairs for more layout prep.

Sunny and warm spring day in our part of NH.  I should get my smoker ready for the summer.   James, there was an article on signaling on the MBTA in today's Boston Globe.

Yesterday at German class, the teacher (who's English) brought "Canzac biscuits".  She used an Anzac biscuit recipe, but substituted maple syrup for golden syrup.  They were very good.  (Anzac day was last Friday.)

The current task on Lamson warehouse would be glazing all those window castings.  Those windows come out of my Tichy stash so they pre-date the inclusion of pre-cut glazing.  Ugh.
