Good Morning All. Clear and 42°. No change in our weather forecast, except more days with the high expected in the 80's. No snow upcoming.
Nothing particularly special about yesterday, a couple of loads of laundry mainly. Daughter #2 and family out in Hawaii on vacation, found out that in the part of Hawaii that they are at, the only eating establishment that was open on Sunday was a McDonald's??? She thinks that it's because they are close to BYU–Hawaii. I told her that it is common but not mandatory for Mormon businesses to close on Sunday. My #1 daughter hasn't fared as well, the airline lost my granddaughter's bag on the way to Vegas. It contains her antibiotics and Heaven forbid, her cell phone.
Meanwhile many more Tomato plants have emerged from the soil in the pots I planted indoors. They'll get a chance at real sunlight for a short time today, and then 24/7 starting tomorrow and for the foreseeable future until garden planting time. So far, everything indoors and outside is doing what I expected except a short row of Lettuce planted a month ago that hasn't emerged. It is "iffy" anyway, since I used 4 year old seed. I have since planted another partial row with fresh seed that should emerge in the next day or so. I feel that if you don't lose something at each end of the season, then you aren't maximizing your garden space. Tried out an air-fryer method for cooking pork chops last night. Essentially the same as pan-frying them, but without the oil and grease. Yummy!
Should be dry enough today to resume mowing, there are a few places that already need it
again. The usual dishwasher load awaits me this morning. I haven't been informed if there is a honey do list yet.
As usual, it was a short Sunday out in the train shed yesterday. Mounted that 2D background structure to the backdrop.
Not much to that.
I am starting another new structure, fresh out of the box (actually bag). Remember this previously built one that I upgraded last month?
It's time to build the structure that I have in mind for the left side, which will be on a street corner.
Stay tuned.
Louis - That's the best way to avoid having to set the clocks up or back. I have one attached to the back of the house like that. It's always on DST since I only use it in the Summer when in the pool.
For the most part, we have had good Amazon delivery drivers here. They either got rid of the one who didn't read the delivery instructions, or he realized that they were there. For some reason, we don't see female drivers out here, maybe there are none. I don't think that this is restricted.
Tom O - Best of luck for Terry and a successful surgery today.
It's Commonwealth Day in Canada and the UK, but I don't think that it is a holiday, at least not in Canada. It's also National Napping Day, probably since many missed an hour of sleep yesterday. Every day is National Napping Day for me. Used to take one at work every day during lunch.
Everyone have a magnificent Monday.
