Morning all,

Up to 83 F today (28 C) today.  Storms late afternoon.  

Stiff and sore from doing some work yesterday.  Some dry wall repair and painting primer on the shower ceiling.  Overhead work and up and down the ladder a thousand times.  Got in a two mile plus walk while stuff was drying as well.  Some more 1:1 work outside today.  

Too tired to do any kit work yesterday, maybe today. 

Jeff

1:1 did me in yesterday, swapping out the snow blower and hanging the brackets for the mower, heavy and crawling on the floor...the Doll cut down some of our decorative grasses, ugly messes in the spring.  She and a daughter staked out an area for a gourd garden in the back lot behind the pines. 

I have bench work for today, temp in 60s going to 70? with a couple rounds of rain, severe chance in the late afternoon. 

Later, be well.

Back from the quarterly doctor appointment.  He added something new to work on blood sugar.  And he says my blood pressure is marginal  Ugh.  I know I need more exercise, but with the snow gone, that should be easier to accomplish.

Dr Jeff, ceiling work might be enough to send you back to practicing medicine.   ;D  I've done a bit of that, NOT fun at all.

Afternoon all,

I'm avoiding 1:1 work. I think I'll do some 1:87 work instead.   ;D

Have a great one!

Afternoon Gents,

Beautiful day outside and it's blown by quickly. 

I've actually got the N layout running and will likely hop back to the HOn3 for tracklaying soon. Been productive after a few days away in the RV.

I haven't checked in as often as in the past - but I am enjoying the builds.

Good evening, anyone looking in this late.  A fairly intense thunderstorm just passed over the lower Merrimack Valley, now it's just drizzling. I'd guess Dan got it a little before me, Dave a little after.  No modeling today, spent most of today working on 1:1 double slip switch rehab.  Then a Flying Yankee Association board meeting after dinner.  Looking over the forum in between working on my reports.
