Title: Thursday is here…
Post by: KentuckySouthern on February 12, 2026, 09:57:30 AM
Good Thursday morning everyone.  8) Sun and temps in the teens in MI. I think Old Man Winter may have relaxed the grip on us, the weather geek on this morning's weather forecast spoke of conditions almost like Spring next week, even a possible thunderstorm.

Little new to add, what's going on in your world?  Working on the layout might happen today. Making micro progress nearly daily.

Be well.

The good news is wife got her car back from the tire shop.  The bad news is it cost us $350.  (They said "mfgr won't honor the warranty if you don't have rotation and alignment records.")   So not happy, particularly because this is the tire that gave us problems right after we bought the 4 new tires.

Good afternoon, Karl, Dave and anyone looking in this late. Mid-30s in the Lower Merrimack Valley and the sun is still bright as it sinks westward.  No modeling yet today; snow on the driveway side of the metal barn roof slid off yesterday evening. This morning it was too icy for easy hand work. First I worked on my Gravely L-8: cranked fine with a new battery but it had sat too long to fire. I'll check the magneto first but I may have to clean the carb,  I removed the crunchy stuff with my big tractor's bucket. My wife has to make a few clay roses for Valentine's Day and our shingle order hasn't come in, so no progress on her side either.

Looking over the Forum, then up to the attic.
