Morning all,
Back from our foray to Wisconsin. Trip went well.
Cloudy and a high of 47 today. Blah. The only good thing about a cold day is maybe the furnace will run as the layout room is presently 66 degrees. Brrr.

Heavy rain overnight and continuing this morning, some minor flooding in the low areas. Temp in 40s going to approach 60o then stay iffy overnight and drop to a high of 40o for Easter Sunday :-\
We trekked to Walmart for groceries yesterday and then accomplished little at home afterward.
Few plans for today, daughter's father in law is in minute to minute status in the hospital. The other girl and family planning to visit tomorrow.

Mowed out here yesterday. Could be up to 10" in the corner.
Wet and damp here...be well, stay safe & dry
I rarely watch videos. But I make exceptions for two fascinating YouTube video series. "wreck2restored" talks about the restoration of a couple 2' gauge Davenport (steam) locos. "Iron Jonsey" talks about restoring 19th century (British) machine tools, using those same era tools and techniques. Both posters have new releases today.
When I'm done with those, I'll do a bit on the exercise machine and get back to trees...

I watch both of those, plus Blondihacks, Inheritance Machining, Click Spring and Joe Pie, plus a few more.

Good morning, Jeff, Karl, Dave, Greg, Bernd and the lunchtime crowd. The lower Merrimack Valley had sun early on, now 50-ish & overcast with gusting winds. But the chickens are enjoying the slow greening of my lawn and the accompanying bugs and worms.
JUst heard the mail driver stop, so a short walk to my box is next. Then an early lunch and off to a Boston & Maine RRHS meeting at the O scale club in Gardner, MA. Though it's a regular on the Tour de Chooch, this will be my first visit. Easy range for my Bolt, so no concern for gas prices.
Afternoon all,
It's Saturday which means tonight is either game night or we're heading to our favorite Mexican restaurant (that's the pattern on alternating weekends). Tonight it's Mexican. A Margareta to accompany the meal.
Still plugging away on the tedious task of gluing 3D printed bottles into 3D printed cases. These things are tiny in HO scale. :o
Have a great one!
