Morning all,

It's 62 F and headed to 82 F later.  Bad storms, possible hail/tornadoes in the forecast for this afternoon.  

I plan to mow this morning, but waiting for the Terminix man presently.  We had the termite issue last year when the siding was put on.  Wife noted some grainy debris around the back door yesterday.  I think it's dirt versus chewed up wood, as we tend to have ant issues in the spring, especially when we get a lot of rain, but it's not going to hurt to have the experts come and take a look.

Hope to finish the barber shop kit today, we'll see.

Good morning, Jeff and those who look in later.  Rain didn't stop in the lower Merrimack Valley till after 8 AM. Now cloudy and mid-50s, with mid-60s forecast later.  Delayed by an annoying electrical intermittent. It disappeared but I'll have to run it down Saturday

Wife is back from emergency dental work, less one tooth    Cleaners have come and gone.  I'll have to see if I can work up some inertia in the train room.  It's been another of those weeks where there was an appointment/something distracting every day.

add   I found this interesting video when looking at stuff for static grass and flocking boxes:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSDx0Ajc6eQ  He looks at adding lemon juice to PVA glue to reduce resistance, but finds that doesn't noticeably increase the effectiveness of the static grass application.  That's a somewhat surprising result to me, too.  (Mark, is this a guy you know?  If so, pass along my 'well done!' on that video.)

Afternoon all, 

I'm thinking about pulling the workbench over in a bit. The Moonshiners shed is getting ready to take shape.

Have a great one!

5 pm EDT and after the dense fog burned off we've had bright sun and 75^o with forecasts of storms and plunging temps starting ~ midnight and a mid day high of 45^o and frost tomorrow night with the dreaded S*** possibly overnight into Sunday.  An "A ticket"  coaster ride continues.  It's still soaked and too wet for yard word, oh darn...

Enjoy what ever gets served up!
