Good morning everyone.

Redmond, OR. weather: Sunny, with a high near 58.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
A bag of assorted Brooklynn bagels are on the counter along with fresh churned butter and cream cheese.

Greg, that sounds like a delicious meal.

Larry, I stayed dry and hope you had a great meal with your daughter.

Ron, hope you arrived home safely.

Dale, great that both your parents are still around and you're right about growing old.
It still beats the alternative most of the time.

TomO, something from the smoker, bacon and carrot cake all sound good to me.

Jerry, hope you had a great dinner with the kids.

Mike, I hope you too enjoyed dinner with family.

ACLTom, is the shed clean and de-cluttered?

Curt, how's the vacation going?

Karl, have you given up on us here and only posting in the baggage car?  :(

Other than a two mile walk with Star here at camp, the only other thing I did was edit my video and upload it to Youtube.
Today's plan is to go to Bend for some grocery resupplying and lunch at a brewery.

And a photo from last night's sunset here at camp.

Morning everyone

Rick thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Nice sunset I'll watch the video when I get back.

Eye appointment this am.  It will tell whether I can see those tiny ON30 parts anymore.

Had a great time with the kids & grandkids yesterday
The drive up and back wasn't that bad the idiots must have stayed home.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Rick. Nice video of the NSRRM.

Jerry, hope all goes well with the eye app.

Yesterday was nice and quiet. I got the shed cleaned but not decluttered.  8)

I sold a few Walthers Pennsy heavyweights yesterday and will mail them this morning.

Have a safe and healthy day everyone.

Good morning Crew. Rain over night but I cannot see the rain gauge in the front of the house. I'll need to move it back where I had it last Summer. 46f now maybe 60 later.

Easter brunch was good. I found Out I am not done shopping for the May wedding in California. I do need a sport jacket for the wedding itself. Told the girls fine but I'll get one myself. I'm not going through a Women's shopping experience again. They told me the colors I need. I might do it today to get it over with or the week before we leave just to create a little chaos

Enjoy your day

Good morning, folks,

Rick, thank you for the coffee and breakfast.  Happy shopping.

Jerry, glad you enjoyed the time with your family.  It's nice that the idiots stay off the highways.

TomACL, congrats on the shed clean-up.  It seems decluttering is always an ongoing activity.

TomO, LOL at the "Women's shopping experience." 

How is the rest of the crew?

It's another bright morning in Georgia at 57F, headed to 83F. Yesterday's feast with the family was fantastic. 

Following some 1:1 to-do list items, I hope to head upstairs to stain all the chords grey and glue on the angle blocks.

Have fun,
mike

Good Morning All,

Sitting in SEATAC. We found out on our way to the airport that our connecting flight was canceled (SWA).

We were supposed leave here at 1240 and arrive home at 2300. Now our flight leaves at 1900 and arrives tomorrow around 0600 with a layover in Vegas for a couple of hours. :-X We can't even check in our luggage until 1500. There is nothing on our side of the TSA line.

On a different tack the cruise was fantastic but damn cold with temps in the mid 30's the entire time. Brrrrrr...

Our next vacation is in August going to the Cass RR in WV. We are driving. ;)

I hope everyone has a good day. I'll check back in late tomorrow from home.

Good afternoon everyone,

Ok, the weather up here is cold  presently 12C (54f)  :o with thunderstorms looming.  Forgot to check in this morning as I got my morning coffee and started on the honey-do list.  Managed to knock off a couple of items so it has been a successful day.  Will also be checking in late tomorrow as I have an haircut appointment early in the morning.  Tonight I'll be watching hockey.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Afternoon,

Looks like everyone has had a busy day. It's 60 in New York but the air is still a might bit on the chilly side. Managed a little more time at the bench this morning. Not much going on here.

Curt safe travels home.

Enjoy the rest of your day!!! Be well and stay safe.

Morning Gents,

Looks like I'm the first one in this morning so here goes. All the morning beverages are all set to go.
Breakfast is cheesy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon and/or pan sausages along with potato patties.

What going on in your world?

It's a cloudy 52 with a high of 70 in New York and hopefully no rain. Work continues on constructing
a new building on the micro this morning. I have to tear apart a ceiling fan later to replace a pull
switch that operates the lights; hopefully an easy fix since the unit isn't that old.

Have a great day!!! Be well, stay safe, safe travels, and hope everyone's feeling fine.

There's a dog park within walking distance, so Star and I will do that this morning.
