Title: Wednesday 9/17 Lounge
Post by: jbvb on September 17, 2025, 09:44:08 AM
Good morning, all.  The homemade bread was warm when I put it in the breadbox. Cold cuts and cheeses in the fridge, jam marmalade and peanut butter on the counter, honey over by the hot water urn with assorted teas. Coffee urn warming up with Joint Bar blend.

It's been mostly cloudy on the NH Seacoast, with heavier clouds forecast this afternoon. High of 70F expected.  I'm home doing paperwork.and paying bills.  If I get up to the attic layout, I'm feeling like going back to work on my 2nd freight car scratchbuild, a Swift 36' reefer from another old MR article.  But because I'm feeling good about the brass flat car, I may give the reefer a brass underframe instead of the wood used by the author.

Good morning James and those who follow.

It's another Severe Clear day in mid-Michigan with forecasts of 80+ by later in the day.

We have a fellow here grinding up stumps from the trees we had cut last week. Interesting little machine he's got.


The Doll and I will be enjoying the day away when Mr. Stump is finished. Celebrating #24 a day early.

Enjoy all. Be well.

There was some sun, but it's back behind clouds now.  I tossed some more grass seed on the bare spot in the yard.  The stuff I laid down earlier has mostly sprouted, and it's looking better. 

Yesterday I started a couple more 'dudes' for the machine shop, including a sitting figure to put in the office.  I hope he's not too heavy for the laser-cut chair...  ;D

Good morning.  Another wet day in the 60's, but better weather is on its way.

I'm going out for a late lunch with my grandson.  He goes to work early in the morning, so he's off early.

Good morning everyone.

James thanks for the second cup.

It will be sunny with a high in the 70's here at Olympic NP.

Wanted to do a nice long hike today but there are fires in the area and there's too much here.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

Slept late.  Have an appointment late this morning to figure out Medicare for next year.  Will go out for lunch while we're downtown.

Our heat wave continues with high temp later of 90 degrees.
