Title: November 12,, 2026
Post by: Zephyrus52246 on November 12, 2026, 08:08:55 AM
Morning all,

In the upper 30s now with a high of 48 later.  

Started on the DCC installs, but didn't get too far.  I usually try to wire everything up and then stick it in the loco, but this time, I've caulked the speaker and decoder in first, hoping I don't end up with a lot of long wires everywhere as there's little space.  

I need to get a new suit as my 20 (maybe more) year old one doesn't quite fit.  :-[  I think the last time I wore it was to a wedding 10 years ago.  That is on today's "to do" list. 

Jeff

Rain and 40s all day here in MI, off and on, currently (0845) on.

Plan to stay close to the bench today. The rain is quite a soaker.

Cloudy and chilly, rain starting later today.  Could change to snow briefly overnight, further inland/upstate, the snow will likely stick for a while.  But then it is almost halfway through November...

Good Morning;

Well we made it up to Ohio for babysitting duty. Went to the soccer game for our grandson yesterday. His team had made it to the semi final for the state championship. They were ahead till after halftime but ended up losing 2-1. They were still shooting on opponent goal as time ran out so was an excellent game. A remarkable season and a great game to watch.

As for today I bought a few wagon kits to work on so I expect I will break them out and work on them a little each day. Otherwise just enjoy the area. Hope everyone has a great day.

Jim

Morning all,

After a bite to eat I'm going to see if I fixed the pressure washer and finish the driveway. Then it'll be workbench time.

Having worn suits to work for more than 20 years I don't miss them, Jeff.

Have a great one!

That's 'cause you worked for a bank. :-)  For me, it was just shirt & (often silly) ties.  Of ourse, when I worked at home, it was t-shirt and sweats.  My dog knew, though, when I wasn't wearing sweats, that meant I as going somewhere.
