:thumb: Grits n' honey!

Hot and hazy here today - supposed to rain like the dickens tomorrow and into Wednesday. Had to drop the truck (red Chevy Colorado LS) off for a checkup - about 8 months ago it had problems with starting and yesterday and today it was acting up again. Got a loaner - a Colorado.

The lovely wife is hinting that I should take down my lego stuff - I might do it as the kids and I haven't played with it lately but their friends keep taking stuff apart and losing pieces or mixing stuff up.

TTFN!

Evening all!

A bit late today. Got going real early (5:30 am) this morning and didn;t have time to post.

John - neat photo of the hand speeder! Looks like that is a nice museum. So will you post some more pics after the OTTS visit?

Hot here. Official high was 98, but my thermometer was at 102. Ouch!

Working on some layout stuff, wiring cleanup, etc.

Have a great one all!

Good morning from a humid and soggy Chicago. Got cool last eve when I picked the daughter up from her weekend high-school retreat, but the humidity made it a slow walk to work today. I'm overdressed - ick. Took a later train to see if I can balance out my sleep a bit. This is my long day with class tonight. Hope everyone has a good day. I'm musing on going out to the Illinois Railway Museum one of these weekdays - maybe next Thurs - when they only run electrics.

Chuck - don't worry about the GRITS. Chief has plenty!

Another hot one here today (98) and breezy.

My son just got back from oral surgery to have two impacted wisdom teeth removed and a couple of bicuspids removed for braces later. The poor guy is miserable and he still has two more wisdom teeth to be removed at a later date - ugh.

Doug - take some pics!

Have a great one all!

You can run but y'all can't hide. Took me a little bit to find you since I was looking for the pot under another section of the forum.

Roy - I've been getting my e-mails to you kicked back, e-mail me any change in address so that I can correct my address book.

John you seem to be home early.

It is raining here now and it was quite hot yesterday. That ended a comfortable streak that lasted almost a week.

I washed the car today and got my drivers permit renewd. They would not take my PO box for an address, had a time with them.sign1
The middle class mad man, LOL what a world we live in.
