Title: Sunday - October 5, 2025
Post by: ReadingBob on October 05, 2025, 11:57:33 AM
Morning all,

We just got back from ordering a new freezer at Home Depot. The old one (in the garage) is acting up. I don't know why. It's only 32+ years old.  ::) I also ordered a new wi-fi router yesterday after I received a notice that my current one is at its end of life and will no longer receive firmware updates. I am NOT looking forward to swapping out that out. It should be easy but, based on past experience, it probably won't be.

This afternoon will be workbench time and some football. Maybe I'll watch some racing as well. 

Have a great one!

Record high yesterday and hot and breezy today in MI.  Temp will mid to high 80s yet again.  Forecast is for it to end late tomorrow.

It's never fun to swap out electronics or appliances. 

Enjoy the day all.  Lions here later on TV.

No football for me today, it's the Steelers' bye week after their trip to Dublin last week.  I'm fixing the stuff on the machine shop that got damaged yesterday, and doing some other detail part work.

Good evening from south-central Pennsylvania, all.  A pleasant day spent at Orbisonia/Rockhill Furnace photographing East Broad Top and Rockhill Trolley Museum equipment.  The only negative was two steep climbs and descents of ridgelines in an unfamiliar rental, pursued by locals not satisfied with 5 MPH over the limit. And because this isn't out where scenery is a tourist draw, no viewpoints to pull over at.

James I had a similar driving experience in WV when visiting the Cass RR.

Got delayed driving in WV once and it got dark...oh the locals did't like that!  Maps deceive distances. :o
