Morning all,

Sunny and headed to 89 degrees today.  I will take a walk before it gets to that level.

I need to prepare for the backdrops which are hopefully arriving today.  Have to figure out how I'm going to stand the roll up in the corners when hanging them.

Good Morning Jeff and all that follow:

Another hot one in Florida, going into the 90's but perhaps rain. Weatherman says so anyhow, we will see. I am making progress on the Pickle factory, I'm at an enjoyable phase so all good. Hope everyone enjoyed Memorial Day and has a great day today.

Well, I called the eye surgeon and offered to go a week early for Eye #2.  They said, "nope."  So in the tradition of the Groundhog on Feb 2, that means "2 more weeks of non-working eyes."   My 1 week follow-up is tomorrow, I hope at least I can reduce the number of daily eye drops and the requirement to tape that eye shield over my eye every night.    

Now that I'm back from PT, I'll decide what to tackle today, probably more pick-up/put-away.  That I can do without good close vision.

Afternoon all,

Had Emee's eye and annual follow up and all is well.

I'm in the train shed and will update the build thread later this afternoon.

Dave, hope all goes well with you follow up. I'm sure all will be fine as well.

Have a great day ya'll.

Nice day for a drive, so we loaded up and set the compass at 000⁰ and headed out before 0900. Temp was ~50^o breaking through the 80^o 3/4 of the way up the mitten. At The Bridge high wind off of the lake had the temp back to 51^o changing the compass heading to 270^o and headed out towards Northern Command established our post ~1530hr under ~70^o with CAVU and a clear view.

We're finding the deciduous trees are barely cracking the bud stage in contrast to back home. Also the insect population is thriving 🦟 mosquitos especially on the beech.   

Dave; each doc must have eye patch criteria. The Doll was cleared after the first night but has the 30 day drop routine and 2 weeks between procedures patiently dripping as ordered. She loves the new views.

All I have for now.

Northern Command OUT

Afternoon all,

I spent my morning at the new Doctor (Orthopedic guy). We're going to start with Physical Therapy and another new Doctor for pain management. If that doesn't help we'll move on to injections at some point. After that surgery is the next level.

Hope the eye is doing better, Dave, and the rest goes well.

Good news about the pup, Tom!

Have a great one!

Good evening, all. High of 85 in the lower Merrimack Valley, mostly sunny today.  Spent most of the morning seeing the vampire, then helping my wife during her first meeting with a new PCP. Rest of the daylight hours were the usual work on the ancient double slip switch. Dinner at home, fetch milk and my kid, now at the computer working on my report.

Tomorrow will be all track work with the same high but more clouds. We decided to replace two more timbers, should be 11-footers by where they are under the central frog castings.  Depends on whether we can rent a small excavator in the morning - we learned the nearest place had closed at 4 PM by driving there...
