Morning all,

Fourteen degrees here this morning, headed to twenty seven for a high.  

A bit of a hiccup building the kit, will get back to it later today.

Morning everyone

Jeff I'll trade you the 14 degrees for the 18" of snow we have here.  And it's still snowing.

Today will be a shoveling day.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

Blowing snow, about 2" on the ground, but the worst of the storm is tracking southeast of us.  I cancelled my PT appointment.  After German class via Zoom, I'll head down to the train room for the rest of the day.  

Jerry, where are you?

Good morning Rick, Curt, ACLTom, Larry. Jerry, Dave and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Rick, thanks for the coffee and breakfast and it sounds like you and Star had an interesting hike, hope Star's paws are OK.

Curt, hope you can get to the bench today.

ACLTom, have a great day.

Larry, hope the 1:1 stuff gets done quickly so you can get to the bench today.

Jerry, hope it stops snowing soon.  I don't worry about the white stuff as we have a service that gets rid if it for us. 

Dave, enjoy your day.

Mike, hope Sharon has a great birthday.

Current weather here is -4c (25f) with blue skies.  Never made it to the bench yesterday, between laundry, a grocery run and hanging shelves in the Mrs craft room the day got away from me.  Hopefully I'll have some time at the bench this evening.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning, Jeff, Jerry, Dave, Ron and anyone looking in.  Dave, Jerry's profile says he's down by da beach in Joisey. North of the Merrimack there's maybe 3-4"  but the wind is protecting my orchard's branches.  Good thing, because with the last 3 storms my back is protesting.  My phone's "probability of snow"  drops to 70% before lunch, but above zero till 9 PM. Regardless I'll take the tractor out well before sunset.  Haven't heard a town plow yet this morning, presumably they're also saving it for later.

Once I've looked over the Forum, I've got modeling projects that don't involve lifting or bending.

Mid 20s climbing up to the upper 20s.  We have 14+ mph winds so the feel good readings ain't so good..low teens.  Going to like that all day.  We have light grey sky after a dusting of snow. Little new stuff guessed at.

Best luck to y'all in the NE, clean up safely.

I enjoyed the hockey yesterday, missed the SPARTY crew defeating the ohio team, scheduling confusion here.

Worked on the layout and intend to return today, some slight progress being made.  Jeff, thanks for the trestle pix, they are indicative of my intent.  :D

Das it...be safe in da snow

Afternoon all,

No snow down here. Cool, but sunny. Think I'll hit the workbench in a bit and finish up a little set of details I've been working on. Then it's on to the next project (which I've been waffling on the past few days).

Have a great one!

Greetings from cnetral America

We are on a cruise and the weather made it all the way down here. 40-50 knot winds outside the ship, we could not dock so heading south to Honduras. Word is we may not be able to get off in Mexico becuase the drug gangs are upset, oh well the ship is nice and the trip has been great. Have a great day.

Good afternoon everyone.  Lots of snow and wind here in RI.  Power has been out since 7am and they said it could be days before it's restored.  We set a record for single storm snow at 32.8 inches and it's still snowing.  Its going to be August before this is all melted....lol
