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.

[Rick]

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.

[elwoodblues]

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

[Rick]

Good morning everyone.

Happy Easter to those that celebrate.

52 in Kingman now, sunny and 79 later.

I see Curt is here so maybe a choice of breakfasts.
Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Ham and eggs with a side of roasted potatoes for breakfast today.

Jeff, thank you.

Ron and Curt, I was there about 3 years ago and hiked half way down to the river.
I plan on doing that same hike again to test my hiking fitness.
If I do that hike easily there's a longer more challenging hike I'll do.

ACLTom, I enjoyed your update.

Karl, the lawn is looking good.

Mike, pry that key off the keyboard.   

Dave, beautiful church.

Larry, good news on the bench progress.

Jerry, have fun with the kids.

How's everyone else.

As I mentioned yesterday removing the stent went well and I passed pieces of the stone already.
It's a great feeling being free to travel again.
I'll drive to a spot just outside of Grand Canyon NP for the night.

One more from the Petrified Forest.



have a great day everyone.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!

The morning beverages are ready and Hot Cross Buns to go along with. Looks like Rick beat me to it this morning so two breakfasts to choose from.

Going to be a quiet day. Our Daughter was supposed to come for dinner but canceled yesterday because she's sick. Just me and Ellie so a different kind of dinner and some quality time at the bench.

Have a great Easter!!!! Be well.

[Jerry]

Good morning Rick, Larry, Jerry and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

HAPPY EASTER

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick and the hot cross buns Larry.

Rick, happy to hear you can travel without restrictions again.

Larry, Enjoy your quiet Easter today.

Jerry, enjoy Easter with the family.

Current temper is 7c (44f) and overcast with the feel of rain in the air.  Yesterday after taking Gracie for her spa day (grooming), a trip to the hobby store and a grocery run I spent some time in the basement finishing thew assemble of the module sections and spent the evening making the window and doors for the challenge build while watching the hockey game.  Next step will be assembling the building.

Have a great day everyone

[KentuckySouthern]

As much as 4" of rain added to our new pond yesterday. Temp down around 30^o with a burst of snow just outside my window moments ago. 

Easter Greetings everyone.

Enjoy the day.

Happy Easter Morning all,

Rick thanks for breakfast and drink. Very happy to hear you are feeling fine. I've seen both the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest and both are a sight to behold.

The Easter Bunny left me a small chocolate bunny. I take care of that later this evening.

Jerry, have a nice family dinner.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Have a safe, happy and great Easter Day.

Tom
