Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 5

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Interesting looking engine. Curt have fun at the bench; looking forward to your update.

Rick great to hear things are falling in place for you and yes there's always something to do when you own a home. Nice green photo.

Mike have fun upstairs and stay cool. Hope the A/C repair isn't too costly.

What's the rest of you doing today.

It's a sunny 59 with a high of 64 and some descent weather for the next several days. I see the local growers are planting veggies so I guess it's safe to start planting some flowers when I get a chance. Ellie has her followup dental apt. this afternoon. I have a feeling I'll be car shopping with Daughter soon since I think her car has just about seen the lick.

Have a safe and enjoyable day!! Be well.

Good morning Crew. After absolutely gorgeous days since last Friday with temperatures ranging from low 80's to 91 yesterday the weather will change. We've had low humidity and slight breezes in clear skies. Today it's  gloomy, very windy and we may stay in the 70's.

Gas here locally at our Casey's gas station when I walked by yesterday had dropped to $4.39 per gallon. When I walked by this morning it was $4.59.

Today and tomorrow continues Terry's deep dive into our financials. I don't get too involved in what the markets are doing but Terry does. She loves that crap. She has done this for years in May and November but started later this month than usual.

Tuesday we did go to the movie theater. We saw the Mandolorian movie and it was ok entertainment. I've not watched it on TV but it was easy to figure out what was happening so no need to be a Star Wars fan. The movies lately are just get out of the house type movies. Nothing dramatic. Coming up is the movie called Tuner as most everything else is comedy, horror or kids.

Looks like Montréal is finished down 3-1 games in the NHL playoffs. The first 2 series went 7 plus  OT games have worn them down. I was hoping!

Enjoy the day

Morning!

Some great photos Curt.

Rain had ended and cleared off finally. Yard needs mowed today when the dew decides to evaporate.

Good luck car hunting and AC repairing to you both! Always something.

I started replanning the Stoney Creek Blacksmith Shop. Drawing it up in cadstandard by Apperson and Daughter. Great lil program to make elevation drawings. Check it out

The day awaits!

All quiet on the Northern Front.

CAVU total clarity-well the sky is. 50-70 the temp rang today.

Sunny right now and a very pleasant 65 in SE NH.  Clouds coming in with rain later today.  There's a bunch of big lumber trucks at a neighbor's yard to remove some oaks.  Large crain, log loader, wood chipper, etc.  I sure hate the sound of chain saws, and I don't understand people who buy wooded lots and then complain about having to rake leaves so they remove the trees.

Eyes are still funky, but the 1 week follow-up said "everything going well"   For those of you who have done cataracts, did you get your dominant eye done first or second?  Mine is being done second, I think part of my problem is my brain saying "why can't we see out the dominant eye?"

Morning everyone

Curt thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Nice picture.
Looking forward to the ground work.

Rick by all means send the heat here.
The beach is no fun at 60 some degrees.
Glad your getting everything set up before moving in.

Mike hope you get upstairs today.

Larry good luck with those flowers we got ours in yesterday.

TomO gas is hard to figure out.  How it changes from one day to the next os beyond me.

So Philip is this going to a build or what??
Love to see you give it a try.

Karl glad your having nice weather at the command.

Dave the eyes will be better.  I had mine done 20 years apart and never had any problems.

Weather in South Jersey sunny/75.  Later on 77.
I did mange to get some more shingles done yesterday.
I hope to finish the one wall today.

Everyone have a wonderful day!! 

Jerry

[Philip]

Jerry, Yes I started revising the first wall (drawing 4) plan last night as the stud were spaced 12" apart. Perhaps over engineered by Roger. I have Chris Bohn making the shingles and I need to order supplies from Northeastern scale lumber for the trusses.

Mike hope you get the AC working.

Ron do they know these meetings are cutting into your modeling time??? 

Jerry

work as a whole is cutting into my modeling time. 

[elwoodblues]

Good afternoon everyone,

A little late checking in this morning, current weather is 17c (62f) and the sun is out.

No modeling last night as I watched the hockey game.  As TomO mentioned, Montreal lost and is down 3-1.  If this is it for them this year the experience they got will serve them well going forward.  Not sure what tonight will bring.

Have a great day everyone.
