Morning all,

Nothing planned for today except taking the wife to PT later.  Brutal day yesterday at work.  At least it seems spring has sprung here.

Morning all,

Slept late again today though work yesterday was pretty easy.  Wife drove herself yesterday for the first time in over 2 months so she's certainly on the mend from her issues.  My granddaughter returned to school yesterday, so she's doing well, too. 

I will mow the yard sometime today, probably late this afternoon when it's in the 60s. 

Enjoyed Karl's picture yesterday.  The NCL two tone green is my favorite passenger scheme.  I have a Rapido train set of these, but they don't stay on the track well.

Morning all.

Busy morning here getting the son and grandchildren headed home.  Plumber has been here to replace a toilet and fix the garbage disposal as well.  Heading out to PT in a short time and a quick trip to Lowe's is also on the agenda.

Cool!  Jordan's can be fussy to assemble.  Great job on the kit(s).

Nice work.  FOS kits are great.  Your addition does balance the structure well.

Morning all.

Hope your friends do well, Jim.

Tough medical week here as well as my granddaughter had post op pericarditis (inflammation and fluid around the heart) and went back into the hospital and is still there with a drain in.  She's doing OK, but until the inflammation and fluid are controlled, she's stuck there.  Tough on her parents but they seem to be holding up well. 

My MRI last week showed a meniscus tear, and I have an appointment today to discuss surgery.  Some days it doesn't bother, but yesterday at work wasn't pleasant.  At least my wife is doing great after her second total knee surgery.  

No train stuff getting done, though I did run the new engine around the layout without issues.  

Nephews wedding tomorrow, my son and his kids were supposed to come today, but one of them has a fever and we're hoping they arrive tomorrow.

Morning all,

Chilly here, headed to a high of 46.  At least no snow like at the Mackinac Bridge.  

A trip to the grocery store and physical therapy later.  Will also run the new locomotive around the layout to see if there are any "issues".

Morning all.

I'm having a breakfast of yogurt and Diet Dew.  For the rest of you there's French toast with maple syrup, fruit and assorted drinks. 

Just above freezing here, headed to 56 for a high.  I will probably mow later today as there are spots in the back yard that are getting pretty tall.

Went to a Train show in Davenport yesterday with low expectations.  It was actually pretty good.  Won two pieces of rolling stock as door prizes, five Jordans for $10 apiece and this little gem for $150.  BLI's sound isn't the greatest, but it runs nicely.

Morning all,

Up early and already had a knee MRI this morning.  Heard from my brother as well, he got free tickets to the Train Show in Davenport tomorrow.   It's chilly here this morning, nothing planned except taking the wife to PT later.

Morning all.

Raining here this morning.  I had hoped to do the first lawn mowing of the year, since it's going to break 70 degrees later, but it may be too wet. 

I've got a haircut appointment this morning and a trip to PT for the wife this afternoon, otherwise no plans for hump day, unless it dries out enough to mow.

Morning all.

Thanks for all the kind wishes yesterday for my wife and granddaughter.  Hoping the latter can go home today.  

Here it's going to start raining soon (which is good) with a high later of 61 degrees.  

Breakfast is yogurt and/or  Luftwaffles with maple syrup.  Bacon and sausage patties as well.  Drinks at the end of the line.  You'll have to make your own coffee as I don't drink that stuff.  

Let's have a great week, folks!

Jeff
