Greeting from the UP.  Early fog is thinning, temp going to 60s.  Headed home tomorrow. 

We also have an AMAZON, ET AL. box (Big Tote)  Our Amazon folks are quite careful, UPS as well, FedEx often just leans out the truck door and heaves it, USPS brings oversize stuff to the porch. We can get 2 Amazon deliveries each day, we live in an overlap between W. Lansing and a South suburb of Grand Rapids shipping sites. I saw two new "Smile" buidings on the way up here, one in Clare, MI and one yesterday in Escanaba, with a dozen unmarked, brand new Mercedes with window stickers still attached.  They're all painted white .

Book keeping on tap for today, and trip prep. Back S tomorrow :D

Greetings from Northern Command.  Nice and sunny drive up the middle finger of the Mitten today.  Lots of color.  Past peak from the middle knuckle.  :D

I did get the lawn done yesterday, didn't get to the bench.

Z'd out after getting here.  Gas is $4.799 here, was $5 at The Bridge.

We'll restock the cupboards tomorrow, 4-5 days is all we need, $1-2 K ;)

Button Up Mike, that hat stay on with the top down?   

Another great photo, Rick.

Best to Terry, and you, TomO

Yet another, close but no cigar at SPARTAN Stadium yesterday, de ja vu.

Sun and clear chill this morning.  8) May finish mowing, at least with a noon start game there was some time to start the job yesterday.

That tomato was local grown and had been on the shelf here for a couple weeks and on the verge of being 'done for'  It did taste ok.

Off later to visit friends'.

Enjoy the day all.  No football planned, LIONS on a bye week.

Curt, good for you on the ribbons!

Dave stated:  I have mixed feelings about NMRA meets.  It's in part because of my relatively narrow modeling interests, but I usually find some clinics of interest.  But besides James, I don't have many local friends in the hobby. 

Most of my local guys are NMRA members with active Regional & Division groups that are big into conventions, etc. Not so much my agenda. 2-3 ops a month and working on my lone wolf layout is good enuf. Div 5, Lansing/ Mid Michigan "allows" me to show up at their local meetings 2-3 per year. Depending where they hold them.

Bright overcast and 30 mph gusts. Temps peak in the 50s after 3/4" of rain overnight.

Watched the Thursday nite football game last night from Denver. Nice to see a game with no emotions in the outcome. You could see the Seattle team was a sea level team. They still took it to overtime before losing.

TomO, sounds like a full day. I'd be really worn out. Been really feeling whipped at times lately. Left Ops Mon around 2 pm. Just seemed to hit the wall.

Bench time is definitely a thing for today. Put a couple more blue box coal hoppers together. Couplers, weights and wheels. 

Enjoy the day all.  8)
