Mornin' boys. Cloudy and 46 in the Potomac Highlands. Temps in the 60's this week, so I placed the palm tree out front on a dolly, so I can wheel it into the garage on cold nights. Bathroom remod coming along slowly, however the Nurture Green is definitely a Wifey pick. Woof. And she poo-pooed my buffalo-head tp holder idea.
However, the joint compound applications to the new layout scenery have turned out nice.
We're headed up to visit FifeMom today. Need to sort out final arrangements...
Banks - I won't be there Sunday.
Another warm day but becoming cooler with rain. Green tea in the mug and a day off tomorrow.
Stay safe everyone!

Good evening all,
Got license tags renewed. Quiet day at work. Weather warm and dry. I do not have much else going on. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Ah, a fun afternoon fixing a leaky toilet. Went pretty well, it only took two trips to the hardware store. Usually when I've got a project it takes three!
Afternoon all!
Cloudy and warm as predicted. Nothing to report today. Have a good one all!
Regards, Roy
Found it.
Okay, I'm still studying it though.
Rich so what happens if we don't pay. Do we get blocked from this forum. Or does that include online for the magazine also. I have seen nothing about this.
65 and sunny. Beautiful day. undefined Middle 70's guessed.
Enjoy your day.

Good Morning -
Last night's Line/Exec meeting was quick and painless and out by 7:40.
I went over to have dinner with Jenni, did the dishes and watched a Don Garlits Documentary "Close Calls" - amazing how he missed getting killed OFF the track....
64F today and Sunny - the was a bit of a breeze.
My 3 feral cats, the birds and the squirrels were fed - I hand fed 3 of the squirrels, now that it's warmer.
Off to work -

I missed something here, would you please explain.
Good day at work. Pain 2 was out of office all this week. Even though I do not physically interact with her any more, she can make like "interesting". Work is going well on first outdoor project. Same guys that did garage door last year. They do good work at a reasonable price. Cannot ask for anything more. Weather again good outside. I hope everyone has a good day.
Good afternoon!!
Not much going on here, I had to jump through some hoops to get in.
64F right now and sun. I haven't been out yet, but I may move the bike out and hook up the battery charger........I might have to be real sick on Thursday when it's in the 70s....
Prayers for Roy and for Fife's heal spur to get better....
We made an appointment for a portrait style engagement photo, we won a session, so we'll get a 11X14 print.
That is all.................
Mornin' boys. Partly sunny and 61 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. I too just came back from Doc visit/Lab work. Nasty heel spur thingie got me hobbling" around.
chief - Here's hoping nothing on the snippy thingies.
Roy - Cheering you all the way across the finish line.
Good morning!
Cloudy and looks like it will stay cloudy/overcast for next 5-6 days with rain for the weekend. However - low 70's
Throat/swallowing therapy today. Two more sessions after this one - one per week.
59 and sunny. Beautiful day. Still hurting some. Slept till 8:30.
Hello there Roy.....more progress on the ElCamino!!!! Buckeye & Charlie......lookn good. Fife what's your ETA Sunday? Registered on 2 different locations for Wuhan vaccine. Could have scheduled March 29 but the 2nd shot would fall when we're at the beach. Gonna keep trying, maybe get them on either side of the beach trip. Nothing else exciting here. Got the dishwasher in and running. Replaced the top basement step that ties in to the kitchen floor. Took a couple of tries to get the shellac color right. It was pretty well worn and I'd glued splits in it years ago. The rest of the steps need replaced too, next project. Started flooring today. A PITA to get it straight. Hope the rest gets better. Best get to sleep. Prayers for those in need and the end of this pandemic

Very quiet day at work. Projects outside the house start tomorrow. Will be glad when they are completed. Weather was very nice. Picked up sticks outside. I hope everyone has a good day.
Well! Lady Firestorm and I got our COVID shots today, these were the Johnson & Johnson single shot variant. (Luckily I shot muzzle-loaders for years so single-shots are something I'm used to! )
Took about an hour and a half to go through the process at the Richmond Raceway. We waited in the car for about a half-hour until called and then went into the building that used to be the Cow House when the state fair was held there. It hasn't been there for years so the aromas of Bossy, Flossie, and their friends have long dissipated.
About another wait on a winding line like you'd have at a theme park, about an hour. Funny thing was, the line seemed to move faster the closer we got to the needles! Strange.
Anyway, the shot process itself was OK. I haven't had a needle in me in decades, but strangely it didn't really hurt, just felt a little weird. I've had electric shocks that felt worse!
So that's out of the way, got the "Pass GO, collect $200 card" that confirms we're not spreaders of pestilence, so we're done.
No lollypop afterward though. Damn!
All OK. Got pictures of my esophagus, stomach, colon and intestines. Don't think you want me to post. One snippy in the colon [it fine looking but sent off]. Same with snippy in the tummy and esophagus. Found bacteria from my Advair inhaler. Seems some get past the "wind pipe". Had it before. Simple antibiotic for a week. Still hurting like h--- when I exert. Not heart. Press and burp. Dr. says this may stop it. Also, if not, will change reflux meds. In the past, have taken 4 different kinds. Seems I get "immune" to them after a long period. Problem now may be the big cheese burger with a slice of onion on it. Dr. said OK. Wifey told him we were going to Bad Daddy's.
Good Afternoon..................Friday night's escapade went well, looks like I have a new local source for N Scale - Jenni was happy with her new CSX caboose and Penn Central (to match her GP38) Boxcar. Dinner at a local diner then off to her house for a bit.Saturday cleaned house for Mom and then off to pick up my Kasey Kahne add on set. The outer box was worn and sun bleached but everything inside was new. The gentleman I got it from is a great guy, might get more, but we'll see. Matches the Mopar Express set we got, perfectly. Jenni had a guy come over and he went through our 1942 Philco 42-1008P console radio. He couldn't get it to work, he's ordering replacement capacitors, as the originals are wax and paper. After he left, I ordered Dominoes and tinkered with the radio and it now works. The record player also works, just need some rubber items and the turntable will move. We spent the evening listing to local stations with oldies and a station from Canada came in loud and clear. We had a fire in the fireplace and danced the night away. We hit the sack early, as church was earlier than we usually get up.Had a breakfast on the fly, Mickey D's then off to 0900 Mass. afterwards, went to Trenton for Jenni, we needed per supplies for her Frogs and guinea pigs. Afterwards, Jenni fed the frogs and we cleaned out the piggy cage. We did some shopping and errands. I found a bulb to light the dial on the radio, so now that's working. I made tacos for dinner, watched Coming 2 America (don't bother - even Jenni hated it), then off to bed.Will probably get layout time on Sunday, my brother is coming up for a visit on Saturday. Need to get cracking on the street light project.Roy - to quote a pun, those vacuum lines suck.....If you ever have a chance to look under the hood of a Daytona Turbo Z or GLH, trust me, with the El Camino, you're getting off easy....
Sunny and 45F - We'll see what tomorrow brings.....
Another sunny day and might hit 70?
Some more progress on the El Cam. Validated the 02 sensor is working, thus controlling the carb mixture control solenoid duty cycle. Turns out my 1970's Craftsman dwell meter has 'issues'. Used a voltmeter and transcribed 'dwell' to voltage using the meter scale on the old dwell meter. Took it out for a drive and runs good!. Stopped and got some fresh gas. Stopped at a neighbor's as he was outside when I pulled into the alley to head back to the garage. Starts easily and does not 'diesel' when shutting it off (a problem it had quite occasionally prior to the fire). Still something going on with the vacuum, a control, or the carb itself. Will not idle below 1000 rpm. Primary butterflies are completely shut. When first started it idles at 750, but after a few seconds jumps to 1000- making me lean more towards a vacuum or control issue.
For now I will get back to the windshield, interior, and some wiring cleanup in the engine compartment.
Chief - hope everything comes out OK!
Chief, As they say "Onward and Upward" !
37 and going into the 60's. Sunny and beautiful. Second dose of poorly grape flavored dish washing detergent followed by three 12 oz. bottles of Gatorade. Several trips to the ---. Now wait for the trip to town. 11AM.Hope all have a great day.
Ooh, forgot to mention how excellent the Las Vegas race was yesterday. If they could all be that interesting...
As for the Americas Cup (sailing), it's been pushed back to the 10th due to Woo-Han, and the Kiwis had an actual tsunami scare this weekend.
Stop-and-go, good one Mikey.
Mornin' boys. Sunny and 24 along the Allegany front range. Temps are supposed to be nice the rest of this week.
Did survive the 24 hours of nephew. He craves attention, which tests one's patience, but I managed. We did venture trackside Saturday, and caught a few trains traveling thru Cumberland.
KRM - Why, thank you kind sir. I certainly can appreciate a fine rack.
Went to the track and got the shot. No ill effects so far. Very smooth process. No delays. Got to drive down the pit straight after we were done. I did not exceed the pit speed limit as I did not want a stop and go penalty. LOL. Very nice weather day. Got to visit grandkids in Indy. I hope everyone has a good day.
I hope everyone had a nice weekend and has a great week this week.
Mike C. - I wacthed the finale yesterday and enjoy the season; however, I am a fan of the comics and most MCU movies/shows.
Regards,
Joe
