Morning all,

Sunny and headed to 80 degrees today.

Will have to mow today.  I was going to mow yesterday, but after watching the USA win in soccer it started raining, though we only had like a 25% chance of rain.  Probably a walk today as well.

Cool and breezy in SE NH, 67 heading to 74 with chance of afternoon showers.  I haven't heard if Scotch Club is on for this afternoon.  

Today I should finish the LED strip lighting above the corner of the layout with the farm.  When I did tests, I noticed some dark spots, so I cut in some short strips as fillers.  That's one advantage of using connectors between segments rather than directly wiring the segments together.  I still need to find the 12v power supply I got several years ago for layout lighting.  Right now I've been using my benchtop power supply, which has the additional advantage of reporting current through the circuit.  Once the lights are up, I'll go back and finish the farm (adding fences, the orchard, etc).

Good Morning;

Central Florida in the summer, muggy and hot. expect 95 today and pretty sure we will get there. Well I have finally pulled all the resin prints together and will be boxing up the promised detail parts today from the winter challenge and sending them out this week. The wife found me trying to figure out how to ship these on-line and said 'oh for the love of God give them to me'. How is it woman simply know the best way to ship, where to ship from and how to keep costs low? Sure glad she does.

I watched the USA team win yesterday which was really neat! Looks like we get to keep playing. Might take in another game today after I get packaging stuff done. Well hope everyone has a great day.

65^o clear sky and a chilly breeze.  Overnight rain, 0.10" in the new gage.  Mid 70s will be all we can get out of Ma Nature today. (Perfect) Where/when did this imho over use of Perfect start in reply to every info surrender in commerce these day? PERFECT! 

Haven't watched any soccer, but learned this week that every stadium hosting the event in the country has award winning Turf Grass created from research from my own Michigan State U Turf Grass research.  It's been developed at E. Lansing and then growers around the country are using the seeds to grow it in the area of the soccer stadia.  One thing to still be proud of at msu.

1:1 outside kept me busy yesterday after I finally got my Amazon order  returned and then some grocery shopping.

Bills to pay today, try not to procrastinate much on that. 

Enjoy all.

PERFECT! No Problem...

Good evening, all.   I'm home south of Dave now, but spent most of the day at Seashore Trolley Museum which is roughly east of Dave.  Seashore didn't get any of the forecast thunderstorms, but my house got several short showers (my wife was out walking in several).  Tomorrow's promised rain has turned into one hour of a 30% chance of showers.  So I'm not going to launch a big project outdoors, but can't hide inside and maybe get layout time.  Oh, well.
