Morning all,

Raining this morning and a high of 65 later.  Maybe a walk later, but I like it to be a bit warmer for that.  

My backdrops have shipped, so I will start installing them next week.  

U of I semester ended last week, so we'll go downtown tonight for dinner at my favorite Italian restaurant.  We don't like to go when school is in session as parking can be an issue. 

Another "interlocking" that needs "unlocking" on one of the Convention layouts.

I'm still having a bit of problems looking at the screen, but at least 'computer use is now authorized...'  We have had a blast of spam applications the last couple of days.  They'll stay in the "unapproved" state until the site owner deletes them.  

Jeff, that's a cool 'interlocking'   Once I get my eyes back in order, I plan to completely redo my ball signal and crossing electronics.  A couple weeks ago, I powered up the unit, and it wasn't working right.  Probably an artifact of using the wrong flux to solder.   Ugh!!!   Fortunately, I retain most of the learning experience for "take 2."

40s and  sunny in Michigan. It might go to 60 late in the day.

How're the eyes, Dave.

That interlocking is interest,Jeff. I have a place I could do something like that, but should try to stay the course on what is already started.  I have a tendency to wander off and leave stuff unfinished.

Going of toward a daughter's on the West side of Lansing and heard Hobby Lobby mentioned, too.

Enjoy the day all.

Hopefully will get out of my walking boot later today, had ankle surgery 4/20 to repair some ligament and cartilage damage and remove a "mushy" bone chip. Been going stir crazy ever since!

Just checking in; a task I haven't been real good at recently.
I have to get out today and caulk the ark as we're supposed to get rain daily until the middle of next week!

Morning all,

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to both Dave and Chris!

I'm taking a short break from working in the garage. I was cutting wood and drilling holes when the battery on the cordless drill ran out of juice. It's been quite some time since I used it so no surprise there. While it recharges, I'll come inside where it's nice and cool. I already worked up a bit of a sweat as it's 86 and humid outside.

I'm working on the benchwork for two 2' x 4' modules that will make up a small shelf layout in the garage. I figured I'd better get it done now because the open space I'm working in is where the boss parks her car. The school year ends next week so her car will be in that spot most of the summer while she's off.

Have a great one!
