Morning all,

It's really Monday this time.  Still snowing and blowing outside.  Only looks like about 3 to 4 inches so far.  I'll probably be shoveling later.  Glad there's still gas in the snow blower if I need it.  Only a high of 22 today. 

Finished a gondola, the stock car is started.

Rain in SE NH, heading to 60.  There's a flood watch, with the rain washing more snow into the watersheds (ground is still frozen, so the water can't soak in.)  This'll be a busy week, with 2 appointments for cataract evaluation and a trip to Boston to take my wife to a specialist.  In between, I have to drop my pick-up off to get it checked out.  Even if the dumb-asses in the state legislature have mostly 'outlawed' state inspections, I think an annual check-up is a good idea.

Frozen this morning after ~60 yesterday. Quite windy.

Currently waiting for OPS to get going at Kenney's.

No big news, still blizzard warning on in the UP. 2-3 feet forecast. Glad to be here in "the South".

Be well all.

Good morning, Jeff, Dave, Jerry, Karl and later arrivals.  At the moment, the Merrimack Valley has fog rather than rain. Rain's supposed to return after lunch, so not burning the brush today.  Saturday's clinic went well, but since then the only model progress has been my wife finishing the roof on the house her son started.  I have made some progress organizing the output of 12 years of slide scanning, but nowhere near done.

Late afternoon all,

Dropped my car off for service this afternoon (scheduled the appointment for tomorrow so I'll get it tomorrow). Didn't feel urge to paint today so nothing got done on the workbench. 

Have a great one!

Even though NH is trying to cancel the requirement for annual inspection, I think it's a good idea.  So I drop my truck off Wed AM (then use my wife's car to driver her to her Boston appointment.)  I'll get Bubba-san (Nissan Frontier) back Thursday.
