Morning. It's getting hot here in the N/E corner of Mass. Maybe the milk truck will come by and I can get a chunk of ice out of the back...

It's "Florida on the Merrimack" the next couple of days.  Ugh!  The only thing I did train-related all weekend was watch videos on painting and airbrushing.  I did pick up several great tips, including "clean an airbrush after spraying acrylics with very hot water and a pipette.  After cleaning out the cup, put some hot water in the cup with the pipette, then swish it around by sucking the water in and out of the pipette.  Drain, dump the dirty water, repeat."  Also there was a review of AK Interactive and Vallejo matte finishes, the AK product brushed better and is generally cheaper, the Vallejo airbrushed better, but both performed well.

RED ALERT High Heat!!

Or as y'all say in FL "just another day..." :o

Already >800 headed to 950 with many more humids :P  raising heat index well into triple digits.

Bunker duty today. A/C is on and welcome to the old folks  :D I actually got chilled in the basement last evening.

Be well and stay safe everyone

ALMOST longing for winter ;)

Mornin,' All!

Bad news here for Dave... yesterday it was warmer (Hotter!!) here in the northern mitten than it was in Tampa.  And we have more on the way today.  Bleah!  Right now we're at 86, feels like 92, and headed for 91.  Yesterday's heat index was well into three digits....  Karl's pic is actually inviting...  You can put more clothes on to warm up, but there's only so much you can take off....

 Be positive, test negative, and stay safe!  Make it a great day, All.

Morning all,

Gotta run to the Doc's office, shortly, to learn how to give myself a shot. I've never stuck myself. At least not intentionally.  ::)

Hope to get some mojo up this afternoon and sit down at the workbench.

Have a great one!

Late afternoon in the lower Merrimack Valley, where it's about 88F outside.  I've spent most of the day indoors, now at 78 as my house's thermal mass slowly warms up.  Shortly going up the hill to the Town Hall for the Selectmen's meeting.  No modeling yet, maybe after dinner.

Yesterday I looked for a plain red 3mm LED, which I'm sure I bought a bunch of as I built my signals 10 years ago. One more time through the parts cabinets before I order more.

970 feels like  1030 around 5 today.  :P  The moderate breeze was helpful. Disappearing around sundown. Slight break tomorrow.  8)

Raymo, neat scene! Hope there's some ice cream in that sharp looking truck.
