Cologne cathedral:

(You can search YouTube for video of the WWII tank battle in front of Cologne Cathedral.)  

It's sunny and rather warm this morning, 50 degrees.  But a cold front comes in and the high will be 53, cooling off with wind in the afternoon.  Scotch Club is on, but everyone has to bring firewood.  We burned through the pallet of wood during the winter. 

I'll probably do some work on trees today.  I dug up apertures, although I had problems with one set of apertures that broke when I tried to bend them.  I think I'll try heating them up first, to see if that helps.  Then I'll spraypaint the trunks, it's good spraying weather today (not like yesterday).

Good morning folks,

Curt, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast. Good luck with the center wall.

Larry, congrats on the framing success.

Rick, good luck at the docs today.

I lost my post a couple of times yesterday morning, so I gave up.  I think I discovered what is happening.  I touch type, but when I pressed the 0 key, my finger was hitting the right arrow key.  The key had the effect of hitting the back arrow on the browser, which erased the page. Andyway...

It's 64°F headed to 82°F.  Today is yard and garden day, so I doubt that I'll make it to the bench.

Have fun,
mike

Cold rain and wind in MI, ice in the North.  UP to 60 today then plunge to a high of only 40 for Easter. 

I mowed out there yesterday late. Cats and dogs all night continued today. Interstate is closed due to flooding as well as other county roadways.




Nothing else to add today. 

Enjoy the day, be safe, dry and warm.

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Curt.

Rick, I hope the stint removal goes well this morning.

The dental app. went well with me yesterday, clean bill with no issues. Pam had a little work done.

We have a few errands to run this morning and then I'll be in the train shed working on Horwood Bros. and will post an update later this afternoon.

Have a safe and happy Easter Weekend everyone.

Good morning Curt, Larry, Dave, Mike, Karl, Tom and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Curt, enjoy breakfast tomorrow with the extended family.

Larry, Birds singing, that's a sure sign that spring is in the air.

Dave, enjoy scotch club today.

Mike, I've had issues like that in the past.  Now I type my post in word, cut and paste and then hit post.  That way if I hit the wrong key, I have a backup plan. 😊

Karl, mowing grass already,   we still have white stuff on the ground.

Tom, looking forward to your update later today.

Rick, hope the stent removal goes well.

Current temperature is 1c (34f) with the sun shining brightly.  I had a semi productive day yesterday.  I did get the frame of the modules set up (at least I remembered how it went together) and brought the modules downstairs.  Today's plan is to set up the modules.  I also need to get back to the challenge build, the deadline is approaching fast.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone.

I'm all done and back in the van.
Feeling great and ready to hit the road again.
Having my 1:1 coffee and breakfast first.
Next stop is the Grand Canyon for a hike or two.

Have a great day everyone.

Glad to hear your stone issues are over, Rick, and that the stent is out.

Rick I saw the Grand Canyon when I was 9 or 10. I was so afraid of heights (still am) I couldn't walk up to the handrail to look into the Canyon without my heart racing and feeling nauseous.

I have only seen the Grand Canyon from 30,000ft up (in an airplane) and it was still quite impressive.
