Good morning everyone. 60 and clearing.
Storm pushed through this area (SW Missouri, NW Arkansas) last night. Hit our area around 1:15 a.m. Thunder and lightning and high winds. Sirens going off in all the towns nearby, weather radio screaming. So we got up (what else can you do?) and put on the TV to watch the local station track the squall line and report on possible tornadoes. So we went to our basement storm shelter, put on the radio, and when the storm had cleared us, we went back to bed. Ho-hum - - another storm in the Ozarks. Still waiting to see what damage there was and if there were any confirmed tornadoes.
After church yesterday, we were going out to eat lunch when we noticed an auction at a fancy home. So we pulled in, looked around, and ended up getting some rugs, Hummel figurines, throws and comforters, lace stuff, etc. A nice haul for a total of $57.50!! I was kind of interested in a planer for my woodshop, but they weren't going to get to it for a couple of hours, and I didn't want to hang around that long.
Sherrel, Lee, Willy, Wheeler, Tom, Flip, GaryB, Chad, Chet, Garry, Patrick, Louis, and anyone I missed - Thanks for the likes and comments on my photo of me and my granddaughter last Friday.
GarryCBQ - Safe travels, and congratulations on your 7th grandkid!!
Willy - Nice photos from your building construction!
Chet - Nice to have a track cleaning car that matches the era!
Willy - I agree with you about professional football. For me, in fact, it's almost all professional sports, although I'll occasionally watch some baseball. But even in baseball there are overpaid brats and babies, hotheads who can't control themselves (on the field or off), etc. - same stuff I stopped watching football for. I still watch some college football, but even there I'm kind of tired of it - - there's so much to do in life besides sitting-and-watching!
Got some work done on the northside area. Here are some photos:

NOW:
I'm pretty satisfied with the way this part looks. Workers and a forklift on that dock will make the scene come alive. Workers around the woodstacks and some trucks in the yard will look good, too. Landscaping the hills behind will also help. Also have to finish the ballasting, something I still stink at.
Lots going on this week at work and home, including taking care of our granddaughter (the one in last Friday's photo) for a couple of days while our daughter and SIL work at a conference. So I probably won't make much progress on the north area this week.
Time for more coffee.
Have a good day everyone.
