Morning all,

Four day weekend for me.  Headed to 84 degrees with on and off rain today.  I'm not thrilled about the rain as I have a trip today.  Last weekend there was an online auction of a LOT of CB&Q stuff.  I won several items.  The auction house is only 2 1/2 hours from here, and I suspect the shipping would run into $$$ so I'm going to go pick it up this morning.  It's my first road trip with the electric vehicle where I'll have to charge along the way, so prior planning was involved.  Hopefully I won't have to drive through any bad storms.

Morning all,

Already out and got my hair cut.  Time to go out for a walk.  It "feels like" 92 here already.  A part of the "mulching kit" came off the mower Monday, I'll reattach it once I find the instructions.

Nice install.  I attach the speakers and other components with silicone caulk, it's a bit more flexible and I think less chance of coming loose than CA glue.  I like how you attached the 6 pin connector to the tender.  Mine are usually loose but your way looks like a neater option.

Morning all,

Up to 86 here today.  I have a trip to Costco and the grocery store this morning, will pick up lunch on the way home.  Need to mow later as well.

Morning all,

Happy Fourth!

It's already "feels like" 94 degrees here and headed higher.   I will take a short walk soon, followed by lunch.  My afternoon project is to repair a custom bookshelf in our family room which my wife managed to break Wednesday.   :P

Let's be careful with the fireworks today, or even better, leave it to the professionals.

Afternoon all,

Late check in today.  Slept late.  Out for a near three mile walk in the heat (90 degrees here now).  Otherwise a lazy day for me.

Morning all,

The last day of June.  Where did it go?  

Headed to the mid 80s here.  First up a walk this morning and then we'll see what's up for the rest of the day.

Afternoon all,

Late check in today.  Slept really late this morning.  Took a 2.75 mile walk in the 90 plus degree heat.  I'm now watching the pathetic Red Sox ball game.  Will continue work on the FSM kit in a few minutes.

Morning all,

Headed to 92 today.  I will power wash the garage floor later.  Maybe some kit work as well.

Morning all,

Cooler today, only headed to 84 degrees for the high.  A walk this morning, late lunch/early dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant, and mowing the yard later this afternoon is on the agenda.

Morning all,

I have a doctor appointment this morning.  Other than that I have a five day weekend.   ;D  Finished the steps to the kit finally, need to keep moving on that.  Gonna be another hot one in the 90s today, will probably take a short walk later and maybe mow if it's dried out from all the rain the last two days.

Morning all,

A brief respite from the 90 degree weather today, only to be in the 80s and rain on and off.  I probably won't get a walk in today.  Not sure if I'll get any work done on the kit or just be lazy all day as it's my "hump day".  I'd forgotten how unpleasant working Mondays was/is.  Hopefully better tomorrow.

Morning all.

Already "feels like" 93 here and headed up.  I'm skipping the walk today, did 3.5 miles yesterday in the moderate heat, mowed later in the brutal heat.  My legs are a little sore today and I work tomorrow, a rare Monday for me, so I need to be in tip top (for me) shape. 

Will continue the work on the railings of the FSM kit.

Adding another ketchup product will increase their shelf exposure at the store, that's why they keep coming up with "same products, different use/label".

Morning all,

Here it's already a "feels like" 88 degrees.  We're headed to 97 with a heat index over 100.  I'm going to take a walk this morning before it's too stifling, and will mow later today.  It's a rider, so the heat isn't a big issue.  The FSM kit keeps staring at me on the bench, time to get back to it as well.
