Morning all,

Yesterday morning we had frost, today it's sunny and headed to 83 F (28C).  Weird Iowa spring weather. 

Finished the kit yesterday.  Also reset my digital level.  I haven't used it for a couple of years and it was about one degree  off level.  Not bad, but I have fifty feet of wall for the backdrops.  I'll start leveling in the center to cut the error margin further.  Need to wash the wall down, mark the level line and a perpendicular line, get some black paint for the top and painting supplies, and figure out how I'm going to hang the backdrop.  Originally, there was no benchwork, so it was easier. 

Headed to the grocery store this morning, otherwise a lazy Tuesday.

Sun and 40s going to 60s with wind. Slight chance of storms coming mid afternoon. Warmer yet the next day.

I imagine outdoor stuff to do.

Another nice photo, Jeff.

Be well

Good morning, Jeff, Karl and later arrivals. Another overnight frost on the NH Seacoast. Bright sun on my growing lawn, mid-40s the forecast high.  My wife's aunt's flight from the other side of the Date Line is reported an hour early, so off to BOS in a bit to see how customs, immigration and baggage claim go.  Model building unlikely today, but I must prep for the HUB High Green op session in a couple of weeks.

Good Morning Folks'

I had a good night sleep last night, first in a long time. Seems older I get less sleep comes easy. Anyway feel great today. Plan to work on clean up in backyard and work on the bench area. Weather here is perfect, will hit 80 later but windows open at the moment. Hope everyone has a great day.

That indeed sounds like perfect.

Afternoon all,

I managed a little scenery work this afternoon. The Moonshiners Shed sits on the ground so it requires a little base to sit everything on. I can't recall the last time I did so scenery work. 

Have a great one.

Scenery work here, too.  Over the weekend, I set the location for the chicken coop.  Yesterday and today I did the road leading up to and in front of the farm (following Tom's dirt road technique), and started work on a Woodland Scenics barbed wire fence.  More on that tomorrow.
