Good morning all!

Monday, Monday........

A cool, but clear fall morning. Currently its 37F but temps will rebound all the way up to 68F under mostly sunny skies. A perfect fall day. I see by
Wed we will have a stretch of 70s again.

Nothing much on the agenda for today. Laundry was all donr this weekend and I made it out yesterday to mow, but I'm sure something will crop up, always does!

Have a safe day everyone!
 
Good morning from the UW Surgical Center. I wasn’t going to post today but I need my IPadpro to read books so here I am. Talked to the doctor with Terry until they told me to settle in the waiting area. He immediately apologized about being sick Friday admitting when his mom was sick there were a couple times he brought her to surgery and it was postponed. He said he understood our discomfort with the weekend wait.

The Packer/CBoys game was on while I was working on a project last night and I really only paid attention to the extremely long penalty filled 4th quarter. Not sure this late into the season if either team is any good. I have disliked the Packer coach since day 1, 7 years ago!

We were told to expect to be home by noon unless the Doctor decides since Terry has agreed and I went along to take more of the lung than expected. Technically this is an internal biopsy. They will rush the samples to the lab and he decides on surgery today or another time. Terry has opted for today!

Guys thanks for the well wishes, hopefully I am back sooner than later.

Hang in there. Hoping for the best outcome.
 
Good morning. 38°F this beautiful Autumn morning. Should top out around 68°F-70°F today. I sat outside for about 45 minutes yesterday in the sun. It was a bit chilly, but pleasant.

Laundry load today and that's it. Might run trains later.

Tom, best wishes for your wife today.

Have a great week and stay safe out there.

Servus!

Best wishes. Hope that she recovers quickest. The stress on you must be enormous, so hang on!
 
Good Morning All. Clear and 50°, mid-70's later on. Warm-up to the 80's has been advanced to Wednesday. No rain in the forecast.

Cold at church yesterday, because pastor Father John is on vacation, and he is also the maintenance man. No one there to turn the heat on! Father Tim was visiting and only arrived about 45 minutes early. Otherwise the day went well.

To me and all of the places that sell it around here, 14/2 Romex always meant hot (black), neutral (white) and ground (green or bare). My house which was wired by the original owner of 9 months, an electrician, is all 10/2, admittedly purloined from a commercial job that he was working on at the time. It's really tough to do any work in the junction boxes with that heavy wire. i used all 12/2 or 14/2 in the train shed and barn.

Out in the train shed yesterday, I continued with the structure build.

All wall sections ready and presto...

Sundays are always short days out there, and yesterday was no exception.

Tom O - My prayers and best wishes continue to be with Terry.
Swal -
I had worked a freight on this same trail in 1969 and then they completely shut down the line right after that.
Are you saying that you broke it???
Karl - Quit counting and just do it!

One-hit wonder, Jeannie C. Riley (Harper Valley PTA) is 81 today. Doobie Brothers bassist Patrick Simmons is 78 today.

Everyone have a great Monday.
