Morning all,

Happy Halloween.  Don't eat all the candy before the trick or treaters arrive.  

A brisk 34 here headed to 55.  

Got the estimate for the termite extermination which of course will need yearly follow up.  Warned the neighbors as I doubt we're the only yummy treat for the little boogers.  Tear off and sheath replacement continues from water damage/dry rot.  

I have a dermatology appointment later for freezing something they biopsied 3 months ago.  

Still haven't fixed the track issue, but I think I've figured it out and just need to fire up the soldering iron, hopefully later today.

Morning all,

Thanks for all the grat pictures, Jeff. Seems you have a lot going on these days. 

I got my walk in this morning.  It was around 50 but I went with my shorts and t-shirt anyway. Just need to clean up, read the paper and then hit the workbench. 

Have a great one!

Good morning all.

Jeff, I've been enjoying your pictures and sorry for the termite issue.

Heading to Ely, NV to hit the gym and laundromat there.

Have a great day!

Solid bank of greyness here, as is the sky today.

Thanks for the reminder, I needed to make a dermatology appointment.  (The wart on my knuckle has come back...)  Apparently, though, most derm appoints are not covered by Medicare, they're considered 'cosmetic' (unless it's cancer, of course.)

Cleaners just finished up, so I'll head down to the train room in a couple minutes. 

Bob, I'm surprised you didn't need a fur or down coat to walk in 50 degree temps....   :-)

Dave, concerning your wart. Tequila and an Xacto knife can solve lots of problems..
Tequila can be both an internal and external anistetic and  antiseptic. Don't ask how I know these things.

..just saying.

'Fifth' Dave on the right.
