Morning all,

High of 83 today and possible thunderstorms this afternoon.

Mowed yesterday, had to raise the blades to the top as with all the rain, the fertilizer, and the hot sunny days it grew pretty fast.  I'll probably try to mow again tomorrow with the blades lowered back to normal.

We might go to the farmer's market downtown later this morning.  I can't remember the last time we did that.

Getting the layout cleaned up and replaced the bridge after the backdrop hanging.  Finished scrubbing the floor as well.   Ran the test train and it derailed where one of the Tortoise machines which had been hot glued, has come off.   :o  Fixing that is on the agenda. 

Jeff

Good morning! I stopped in to see what you guys were working on.  Also, Dr. Jeff's weather forecast does a better job of predicting my weather for tomorrow than the weather channel.  

Have a great day,

John

Well, I'm still getting used to my new eyes.  Scotch Club was held last night, and we stopped early because of light rain (but also thunder).  Walking home, I kept on having to remind myself "You don't have to squint when walking in the rain without glasses" (which I used to do in rainstorms.)  And it seems the right reader magnification is 1.50, at least for now. 

So I probably see well enough with those readers to think about modeling again.  And I have a couple other magnification readers to try for modeling, too.
