Morning all,

Presently 44 degrees F and sunny, headed to 79 later.  

Did some outside work yesterday, mowing and draining the tank on the snowblower.  I would hope we won't have another snow this spring, but who knows?     Probably a walk and maybe spray some mold/mildew remover on the deck and gazebo today.  

Some layout work, moved all the structures from the town so I could figure out the backdrop issue.  Trackside scenery hopefully will send me the estimate today and we can get that ordered.

(Very) slowly working on a kit as well, probably should start a thread on that.

Good Morning Jeff and Everyone else;

Already in the 70's and heading to 90's today. We had much needed rain yesterday but not sure about today. Like Jeff a walk today for sure and I think I might continue working on the litttle 3D printer I finally got working yesterday. Lots to do, just need the drive to do it. Hope everyone has a great day.

Jim, you can keep 90 degree weather down south, if you please...  Here it's currently 54 heading to 57, with rain promised for this afternoon.  

Yesterday I did some messing around with LED light strip connections.  This afternoon I'll remove the buildings temporarily set on that part of the layout, and today or tomorrow I'll install the first light strip at the back of that part of the layout against the wall.  I'm thinking I'll set it 4" away from the wall, and see how that distance looks (masking-taping it into place for the test).  If I like that, I'll then use double-stick tape to permanently attach the light strip.

Good morning, all. Grey skies in the lower Merrimack valley too. Blossoms are still on my apples, peaches and my doogwood and sour cherry. They're just opening on my lilacs.  They'd be prettier in sun, but we need any rain we may get.

I'm home today till dinner with one of my kids later.  Lots of house chores, paperwork and ordering stuff.  We'll see if modeling manages to rise to the top at any point.

Totally clear and bright in MI this morning, going to mid 60s, currently just hit the 50s. 

I ran a small batch of ho scale pallets on my 3d machine yesterday, first thing I've done in a bit. 

May well end up outside today.
