Good Morning All. 67° and a light fog here this morning. Close to a record low for this day, 66° in 1997. Rain chance has been removed from the forecast for the next two days, still there for the next seven. Went to the doctor for my quarterly check-up and all is well. All of the lab work from the last visit was better than the two previous physicals, EKG, blood and other samples, BP and weight are both lower than the last visit; like a fine wine I am improving with age!
Went by Discount Model Railroad while I was out and about. Even though they are 65 miles away, they are my LHS now. Sure miss the one that was in Denton before that owner retired. Got away lightly, only $130 this trip, mainly metal wheels and minor scenery supplies. I did manage to resist several laser-cut structures this time, until I clear out some structure kits that I still have stockpiled.
Jerry - Stay cool. I know that those temperatures are a bit high for your area.
Eric - I can't be there physically on Monday, but I am with you and support you in spirit.
Ken (D&J) - Continue to have a safe journey. Fear not your visit with
Sherrel. I heard that he's actually a nice guy.
Garry - I don't have any knowledge about chipmunks, as I don't have any here. I know that it doesn't work with squirrels but the only one that I have doesn't appear to do any damage in the garden, just plants acorns, the seedlings which I transplant the following spring.
Sherrel - I have heard or read about the human hair thing before, but I have not tried it. I tend to keep most of mine where it grows.
Greg - The radio thing also works on deer, but only for a short time until they get used to it. Varying stations from talk to music does seem to make that idea work better.
Gene - Looks like shops used to look around here before the "pre-order" craze hit.
Garry again - I do like your response regarding the American Eagle needing a left and right wing.
Louis - I will stay away from most of what you posted except this.
I am in favor of taking the burden of healthcare off the backs of employers
Please note that prior to Obamacare, businesses did not have to offer health care. Many did as an employee benefit only, not because they were required.
Everybody have a great day.
Willie
