Morning all,

Sunny with a high of 88 today.  

I will go to the grocery store this morning, and probably mow this afternoon.

I fixed the track issue and then screwed  in seven switch machines yesterday and replaced the one that fell out.  Testing shows one of them now no longer functions.   >:(  Will check into that issue today and continue working on the remaining machines.

Happy Saturday!  It's shaping up to be a perfect weekend in SE NH.  It got down to 59 last night, heading to 83 with sun today.  Similar temps tomorrow with some clouds.  Getting hotter by mid-week, but shouldn't last long.  Scotch Club scheduled for this afternoon, no theme.  I'll bring my mostly empty bottle of Port Charlotte, which we should finish if there's enough attendance.  

Yesterday I had a great lunch with my former office-mate/O scale model railroader.  We talked mostly about travel, including how both of us would love to do the Rocky Mountain Rail trip across B.C.

Good Morning;

Woke up to hi 70's and clear. Apparently good chance of a thunderstorm. this afternoon and since we still need the rain, great. Yesterday met up with the local modeling group to catch up, today I'll check in on the World Cup and get some bench time in. Going out with family this evening so day pretty well planned. Hope everyone has a great day.

Jim

8) Sun, light breeze and comfortable going to hot to holy s*** hot by Monday as the house fills beyond capacity with relatives intent on violating the 3 day rule...at least 5 birthdays in the next week, here, plus two that aren't going to be here

Currently we're at the garden place. Hanging plants 1/2 off, so we're going to get 2. Or more  :(

Enjoy everyone, be safe

Good morning from the Trolley Museum.  Weather in York County, ME is as Dave reports. The rail joint I couldn't move Thursday is now open about 1/8". Before I leave it's going to get ground out wider, lest it affect the gauge on future hot days.  Layout time is unlikely till maybe next week.
