Morning all,

Sunny and headed to 61 F here today.  I don't think it will be warm enough to do the backdrop until Sunday.  

Did get the lawn mowed and located the missing paint yesterday.  When I found it, I was surprised it was a gallon can as I thought it was a quart and even mentioned that to the wife.  She said " I told you it was a gallon", though I'm sure I'd said it was a quart.  Anyway, I did find it, now need to see if it's still usable after 10 years.  

I need to go through all the cans we have and get rid of those we no longer need.  

Trip to the barber this morning and nothing planned for the rest of the day.

Cloudy bright and COLD in Michigan this morning. Cold will stick around for 10-14 days 'they' say.  :-[

Today will mostly be trips back and forth to the hospital, but the good news is the tube is out, and wife is slowly moving around (including trips to the bathroom....)   They'll keep her at least one more night.  There's a talk we wanted to go to tomorrow, but I told her "you are NOT going to that, if there's a recurrence, you don't need to go through that away from the house."

Morning, All!

43 under the grey blanket here in the northern mitten today.  Apparently there may be a chance of White Gifts from Above here tonight, but it's supposed to go away quickly.   I'm OK with the "go away quickly" part, and hope it doesn't show up until well after I get home from the Op Session tonight!

Dave, best wishes for Madame to heal quickly, completely and permanently.

Make it a great day, All, and stay safe!

Good Afternoon;

We are in the 80's today in central Florida. Yesterday I was able to unpack an old LED ceiling panel I had and put it to work. Using the 3D printer I made corner posts that hold the fixture in place and into 1/2 inch PVC pipe. I made a table frame with the PVC pipe and pipe connectors, printed out some foot pads, added a switch and I now have supper good lighting on my workbench!

Plan to try it out today. Have a great afternoon.
