Goooooooooood Morning, Crew!! It's a beeeeyooooteeeefuuuulll morning here in Southern New England, too. 8D Bit cooler, 51 degrees, but clear as can be. Eddie's Bake Shop in Ansonia was open just for a few hours for the commercial customers, so I was able to get our fresh bread, bagels, and pastries. [:-chef] On the way here I had to get more milk and half 'n half from the Get Grub & Gas. I thought I had left early enough to avoid the Grumpy Polish Lady [:-grumpy] but they seem to be on some kinda holiday schedule...she musta started at 7:00 instead of her usual 8:00. No sooner had I gotten out of the car and she started in on me. [
!] Again with the [:-censored] door. The place has one of those door-buzzer-lock-thingies and she had it activated so the door wouldn't open. I knocked on the glass and I could hear her inside shouting, 'Hey you railroad guy, you pull door when I say OK..OK?' Well I could hear her saying 'OK', but I kept pulling and the door wouldn't open. She said 'OK' again, I heard the buzzer this time as I was pulling on the door handle (it's a swing-out-only door), and I almost landed on my dupa. :erm: I felt like an idiot because I should have known better this time. [:-paperbag] After I got our stuff and was leaving, I noticed the wood wedge for holding the door open was OUTSIDE...and this being an out-swinging door... 
I made like I was tying my shoe and slipped the wedge under the center of the door. When I got up, I gave it a good kick with my foot to make sure it was in there. She looked at me as I walked across the parking lot....toward her car where I sat on the hood! [}
] She went running up to the door, went to push it open, and bounced off landing on her dupa! [:-dopey] Well, anyway, we have fresh breads and pasties including those danishes everyone likes and plenty of hot coffee. So what's on the board for today, crew? I just ordered some heat shrink tube from Micromark for my decoder and speaker connections and I'll put the last of the detail parts (for now) onto my Davenport today. This is it, guys...Gentlemen, start your grills!
