Morning all,

Cloudy with periods o rain and a high of 63 today.  Tomorrow's high will only be 53, at least no rain predicted as I'll be driving to Naperville, IL for their yearly RPM meet.  

My first PT visit is this morning, then a trip to Best Buy to get a battery for my car fob.

It's sunny and seasonal in SE NH.  Lots of leaf color this year.  Wife should get her car back today or tomorrow, I hope it's today because she has a Dr appt tomorrow at the same time as our cleaners are here, and I can't be in 2 places at once.  

There's a new version of Lightburn to test, plus more coloring on the rocks.

Good Morning;

Warm in Central Florida. Expect near 90  I guess. Oh well, the wife is participating in a boat race starting today in Las Vegas so I am on dog sitting duty. Gives me some time to get things caught up and put away where they belong. Hope everyone has a great day.

Morning all,

Getting a slow start to the day but not too much on the agenda. I need to do my, at home, PT stuff. They updated the routine yesterday. Removed 1 redundant stretching exercise but added a bunch of new ones. I think it went from 11 to 27. Thankfully I can pick and choose which to do and mix things up a bit. 

Slowly making progress on the new build. I need to upload the pictures and see if I have enough to start a new build thread. 

Have a great one!

Good morning,all.  As Dave says, this part of New England has nice weather today, but over the weekend my house is forecast to get a second frost. This might actually qualify as a "hard frost", killing the annuals etc.  As recently as 25 years ago, we expected the first hard frost in the 2nd or 3rd week of September.  At any rate, I turned on the heat last night, but with thermostats set to 58F. Back to highs in the 60s next week.

After lunch I'm off to the Northeastern Region NMRA conference in Southbridge, MA.  I'm giving clinics on soldering and researching how the RRs used the vast amount of track around most urban areas in the pre-interstate era.
