Title: Another Friday May 23, 2025
Post by: Jim Donovan on May 23, 2025, 08:01:54 AM
Good Morning Folks;

I heard from Rusty yesterday and he said he has just about finished up the kits for the three winners of the 2024 Winter Challenge so hope to get them to their rightful owners in June. 

For Florida today, hot and dry, bummer. I am getting some landscaping done on the layout and hope to get more done today. Well off to get another cup of coffee, have a great day.

Jim

Good morning everyone.

Jim, have fun with the layout landscaping.

It's going to be mostly sunny with a high in the upper 60's here in Oregon.

Hitting the gym in the morning then going to look for a place to hunker down for the weekend.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning Jim and others,

As Jim said, hot and dry and will get very humid later this afternoon.

Pam and I have a few errands to run and then the day is mine. I guess I'll edge and cut the grass tomorrow morning.

Have a great day ya'll.

Good morning all.  We had some rain showers last night and the sun's out this morning.  I gave some bushes to trim and a doctor's appointment today.  I plan to make a couple of mockups of a brewery for my layout later.

Chilly, 450 with wind in the teens but it's  8) sunny today.

Had birthday cake and a giggle session with the girls.  ;D The Doll was pleased.

My son was able to put new batteries, yes plural, in my Gladiator yesterday. Been awhile since I have replaced batteries and the price, his cost, was shocking to me. He gave me a ride in a Tesla, my first. Always the lead foot, wonder where he got that? He had to show off the car :o hmmm.  I'm still not ready for electric cars.

Lots going on today, time to close.

Enjoy the weekend of hono(u)r to our veterans and their sacrifices. Unfortunately it's going to be chilly here.

Be safe!

Another damp and chilly day in SE NH.  I feel sorry for those who planned "start of summer" activities for this weekend.  

More work on WInchendon today, I'll try to get the 2nd floor framing glued to the floor.

Good morning, all. The NH seacoast had enough sun to see my shadow earlier, but now the overcast is solid, high in the mid 50s.  Last night's lost chicken showed up this morning, hungry.  Yesterday's storm blew the petals off my dogwood, earlier storms interfered with fruit set in my orchard. But the spring wheat field looks happy. Rhubarb is happy too, need to see how the blueberries are doing.

Probably some modeling later, I just need to get a couple of reports out.

Morning all.

Sixty degrees now heading to 72 later.  A walk planned for later this morning, then a trip to the vampire for a blood draw.  Red Sox baseball, mowing and then second game of doubleheader on tap for the afternoon.
