  • Grey again, dry until noonish o’clock the T’boomin’ in some degree of probability.

    Managed to do next to nothing with the light rain at times. Visit w/friends was predicable and more sugar than I need so some fasting today
    Dave’s friend was here recently.

    He was teasing one of the cats. Have seen few of them or chippies this year. One of her little creeps likes to patrol the area

    Trip to the elevator for a new jug of glyphosate for weed control. 2.5 gallon jug lasted at least 5 yrs. Makes dozens of gallons of spray solution.

    Everyone have a fine day, be safe.

    • Good morning Rick, Dave, Mike, Tom, Karl and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

      Thanks for the coffee Rick.

      Tom, sorry to hear about the travel plan changes.

      Philip, just a couple more days and you will be free to do whatever you want.

      Spent yesterday morning working on finishing the rest of the "Modeller's Minute" segments, doing the laundry and getting groceries so I can eat this week. Yesterday afternoon was spent on Zoom calls concerning the upcoming convention. This morning I found out I have 6 more "Modeller's Minute" segments to do, got to love late submissions. Guess What I'm doing this evening .

      Have a great day everyone.

        • Good morning Guys, and all incoming crew. Thanks for opening up the lounge as usual Rick. It is the best way as we all know to start off the day.

          69 degrees and sunny here in Rhode Island today.

          It is a lawn mowing day today, so that's the first thing to do.

          Everyone have a great, safe and healthy day. I'll see you all on the RR-L Forum.

                It is part of the Virtual Convention to be used as filler between clinics. I believe the plan will be to string them all together and post it on to our YouTube channel.

            • Good morning everyone.

              Coffee, hot water for tea and a selection of chilled soft drinks are ready to enjoy.

              Increasing clouds, with a high near 80.

              Philip, hope the Dr's visit went well.

              Louis, I'm sure you're glad the mowing is done.

              Jerry, paint on the truck?

              Ron, all the segments finished?

              Karl, do you buy the RM43?

              Tom, hope you enjoyed the trains and ice hockey.

              Mike, you forgot to mention my corny Dad jokes too.

              Dave, was your day lucky.

              Larry, how are you?

              Roland, hope you continue to get better.

              Another day off today.
              Eye Dr. to get my right eye lasered.
              Nothing in particular planned for the afternoon.

              Have a great day everyone.

              • Good morning crew,

                Rick, thanks for coffee. Indeed, I love those Dad jokes! Good luck at the eye doc.

                Forecast for 88F today with chance of rain. Feeling better again this morning. Antibiotics seem to be working. We are dog sitting daughter's dog this week. She is one sweet dog. Until we get a fence and doggie door installed, we spend a lot of time taking the dogs out. Supply chain issues have delayed fence installation. Installer is five posts short. Argh! They are quoting July delivery.

                Here are Berty and me while we were staying at Daughter's place.

                  If I had a woman look at me the way that dog’s looking at you I’d probably still be married.

              • Someone's in love with Mike? great photo! Your agenda!

                Morning to the rest of the crew & thanks Rick. On my second cup already. Doc appt went well, still throttling me. Take it easy Phil......

                Heading to the great state of Fort Knox in a few for provisions. Still high prices are everywhere!

                Later, Philip

                  • Morning Gents,

                    Rick thanks for the coffee this morning and good luck at the Doc's with the eye.

                    Philip nice to hear your doing well; just heed the Doc's advice.

                    Jerry safe travels up North and glad to hear you got in some bench time.

                    Ron good luck getting things situated for the Convention.

                    Mike nice to hear you're feeling better. Yup looks like the pooch is definitely in love
                    with someone.

                    Louis so what's next on the "build agenda".

                    Tom how's the modeling coming along?

                    Karl your cat looks like he's ready to "ponce" on anything that comes his way...nice cat.

                    The rest of the Crew hope things are good with you.

                    A cloudy 70 with a high of 75 here in New York; looks like we have some rain coming our way before long.
                    Going to go and get my "ears lowered" in a little while or what a like to call "around the rim" because that's
                    about all the hair left. Beyond that not much else going on here.

                    Have a wonderful day and be well!!!

                      Rick, thanks for the coffee, and no, not all the segments are completed, just a couple more to do, will be completed tonight.

                        Picked up a couple pieces of steel at the home center and am slowly making a project out in the shop.

                        Nice happy couple in Mike’s picture.

                        • Good afternoon from Wisconsin. A very nice 68f degree day so far.

                          I am on break from cutting only 1/2 of the 3 acres of grass around the house. Most of my medical restriction have expired! The best growing grass is under the 3 solar arrays. I can get the tractor under there to cut but I really have to watch my head. Maybe a Fall project to turn those into something other then grass beds.

                          No modeling since Sunday but still working on details and lights for the paper mill buildings, pulp yard and wood chip pile/yard.

                          Hockey yesterday and 2 more starting at 4 this afternoon. The USA looks like the class of this side of the bracket. Local best burger place is closed Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays per the sign in the door. Paying servers $15.00 and the sign says there are short staffed. This is on campus. When I was in college I worked at the American Motors plant in Kenosha, Wi. every night except Friday for $4.50 per hour and for no more then 6 hours. We cleaned up fallen parts from the conveyor lines. I know times have changed but do these college kids now a days have that much excess money they are not scrambling for 15 per hour plus tips?

                          The grandson texted this morning before schoool. 8 and he texts which today was fine as I slept to 8:55. Wanted permission to use the golf simulator to work on his game! He also said golf might be a good game for him and did I know about the money Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson signed for to quit the PGA to play for the Saudis? I did and I said it’s ok for him to use the simulator. It’s especially ok as he has read the manual and understands it better then me and his dad. I didn’t know I had missed 3 software upgrades.

                          Haveea nice day

                          • Good morning everyone.

                            Coffee, hot water for tea and a selection of chilled soft drinks are ready to enjoy.

                            Partly sunny, with a high near 85.

                            Keeping it brief today because that's the mood I'm in.
                            Eye procedure went well, except for the drive home.
                            Everything thing was very blurry and couldn't read any signs until I was right on top of them.
                            Fortunately I knew my way home and didn't need the signs.
                            Started getting scared the procedure went wrong but by the time I got home all was well.
                            I guess some of the drops in my eye weren't completely washed out before I left.

                            Supposed to close on the house this afternoon.
                            Don't need to be there because I already signed everything I needed to.

                            TGIF [:-party]

                            Have a great day everyone.
