Morning all,

We're at a single degree this morning, at least not on the negative side.  Headed to eleven for a high. 

Painted about half the trim on the kit yesterday, hopefully will do the rest today. 

Patriots game this afternoon, hopefully they can win and go to the Super Bowl.

Morning Jeff and others drifting in,
 
It's a cool 60 here this morning and headed to the high 70s.

Pam wants to go practice bowling this morning so I guess my bench time is pushed back to this afternoon.

Have a great day ya'll.

Tom

Temp is positive, ~40 in the lower mitten, snowing prolifically as we're on the northern edges of the Super Storm as it travels ENE across the US.  Record cold was set here yesterday with a -20.90 at around 0800 yesterday morning a couple miles SSE of me at a University Associated Ag. weather reporting station.  We're preguesstimated to be getting  2-6, depending on the actual vs predicted path of the storm. 

Football has no big interest here, but may watch the LA/Seattle game will see what I watch.  ;) SPARTY basketball was a clinic yesterday as they played Maryland 91-48

Enuf from here.

Be Safe, stay warm.

Errors corrected late in the day... Congrats Patriots

Weather report says it got down to -2 this morning, now up to +8.  Snow should start after noon, with a high of 18.  Usually we get our biggest snow amounts when it's about 10 degrees warmer.  This stuff should be nice light powder, easy for the plows to push around, but also easy for the winds to blow into drifts.  They're predicting 30mph gusts around midnight at the height of the storm.  Glad I'm not in the plowing business!

Several of the vendors at Springfield are from Pittsburgh, so we did some collective commiseration about the state of the Steelers.  Everything changes next year.  I think I'll cheer for Seattle.

Morning all,

Currently 75 and heading to a high of 87 today. Tomorrow, we get a high of 71 so it's cooling off for the coming week. It's been up and down like that the past few weeks.

I made some more progress yesterday but still haven't wrapped up the current build. Laid out the circuits for the lighting. It I get at it today it'll soon be time to break out the soldering iron.

Have a great one!
