Title: Wednesday May 20, 2026
Post by: Jim Donovan on May 20, 2026, 07:48:15 AM
Well I opened the clubhouse, put the coffee on and started the day. Welcome.

Another hot one in Florida, we could use some rain. The dogs decided I had slept long enough this morning at 6:30 so while one sat on my chest the other licked my nose. Actually not a bad way to wake up. If all goes well I will get some modeling time in latter. I need to do some pressure washing on a fence but that is about it. Well off for the coffee, have a great day.

8) Sun in Michigan and cooler, 50o going to 65o

We've a couple cooler days to enjoy before rain Saturday and then warming by "pseudoMemorial Day" next Monday.  May 30 will forever be the real deal.

1:1 and hobby stuff to do after I conjure up some breakfast.

Enjoy Jim's coffee! ::)

A quick note...  First cataract eye was done yesterday and last night was miserable.  Dr pulled out what he thought was a small piece of rust, but was just some pigment (a "mole in my eye?")  Anyway, every time the eye drops hit that, it stung like the dickens.  I'm still dilated so I don't see well, but I can tell the difference between the two eyes in color perception.

So hopefully I'll be back to full capability later today or tomorrow.  In the meantime, you-all behave, since I'm not around to moderate  :)   (seriously, in the several years I've been moderator, I've only had to delete 1 post for inappropriate, a couple of spam posts, and maybe 2 or 3 warnings.  That's really remarkable for an on-line community.)

Morning all,

Sunny and headed to 66 today.  

Thanks to the ENT, I'm able to hear much better today, though still some popping and snapping.  It was also a more painful procedure than the previous times.  Hopefully this tube will function more than six months.  

Hopefully the eye will improve quickly, Dave.  I'll try not to require moderation, though it is tempting.  :D

Dave I have a mole in one of my eyes. That  allows me to get photo gray (whatever it's called now) glasses from the VA for free.

Afternoon all,

I hope that eye heals quickly, Dave.

Mowed and trimmed the yard this morning. It's warm out there. I also pulled out some lumber to start the bench work for a small shelf layout. Maybe I'll start tackling that project tomorrow. 

Have a great one!

Good evening, all. The NH seacoast is cooling off after reaching 90-ish this afternoon.  Being New England, the high temperature was followed by a front blowing out of the NW, cooling us off while leaving a little rain here and there. I was working on track alone except for another member who is limited to running heavy equipment these days (but he's quite good as an operator).

Planning to work tomorrow and Friday too, but Saturday will be a memorial for a friend.
