Morning all,

Cloudy and 37 degrees here headed to 42.  Yesterday the lying weather folks said 70 and rain late afternoon.  It barely cleared 50 and we had morning rain and some pea sized hail about 1800 hours.  My hopes for a walk and pruning the bushes were dashed. 

Finished building a hopper, two tank cars are on the docket to work on today.

Temp in mid 40s with rain, after an overnight of heavy rain and hail, 3" in Suburban Grand Rapids, lightning was like an artillery barrage.  Flooding roads but no twisters, in Michigan.  Rain off and on until this afternoon when the temps fall and it turns to snow.  :o

I managed a trip to the Barbery for an ear lowering and pruning of the bush I'd not touched since October.

Rx to pick up in Capital City and layout stuff in the bucket for sometime before long.

Be well all, stay safe.

Good morning,

We are under a tornado watch in KY.

Now that's a high mileage hair-do Karl. I bet the reunion was grand ;D

Late check in for me. We are at 91 outside, unbelievable it being March 11 ( the eyes of March). Oh well. I made some progress on a model but did not really have my heart in it so read a book for a while. Now off to late doc appointment and diner with my bride. Hope everyone had a good day.

Afternoon all,

As Jim mentioned it was 90 here today. I did some yard work but it took the wind right out of my sails so nothing else got done. Chance of rain tomorrow so I'll try to dedicate the day to the workbench. 

Have a great one!
