Checking in.  No heater again this weekend. Plumber called finally.  Maybe need a new plumber.

UPDATE: Plumber called, had me do a reset.  Boiler cooking now.

John: Best wishes to the M-I-L. 

Be good, stay safe.

Roll Tide for the basketball people in our group.

Happy Friday, all.

Sunshine returns in SE PA as spring rolls in.

The big day is here as well:  March Madness gets underway.  Good luck all of you who filled out  a bracket.

 Checking in.

Those call....!!!

First one usually by 9:10.  I'll pick up the phone and let it "sit," not saying a work.  And the caller ID is disguised.  Once, it even showed me calling.

Wife's phone blows up with constant junk texts.  All day and night.

What we need to do is find numbers for congressmen's phones and feed them to a few marketing firms.  They'll sell them to each other and after a few weeks of calls, maybe those green people will make some changes.

Good day, all.

Checking in from SE PA under clear, breezy, and seasonal conditions. May have to move the wiring work on the switching module indoors.   Yesterday was tax-free shopping for us....went down to Delaware. Plus gas there is is $.30-.40 cheaper (Trump prices). 

Attic work today.  Wife is clearing space. 

Everyone have a wonderful day.

Clear and crisp this AM in SE PA.  More seasonal temps today, chillier tomorrow and Monday.

Later this morning, another session for dismantling our departed friend's layout. 

To echo an earlier reminder, spring ahead tonight with your clocks. Back to dark mornings.

Good day everyone.

Late morning greetings and congrats to John S on the new addition to his family.

Overcast today. About ten degrees cooler than the glorious day we had yesterday, but still enjoyable to be outside.

Just for fun, took a tape measure yesterday and just now to daffodil shoots popping out.  They jumped up an inch in 24 hours.

Completed the feeders yesterday (about 20 of them).  Bus lines and connections today, done on the deck.

Have a wonderful lead-in to the weekend.

It's a process, Your Honor.  Step at a time, and, as you stated earlier, you're 77, not 19.  Old folks like us are supposed to be patient and be good patients.  Maybe that's why "patient" is a noun, adverb, and adjective.

Good Morning, all from SE PA where the morning fog is lifting and temps heading toward 70. Plan to position myself on my screened in deck with the switching module and solder feeders.  Can't beat sunshine to illuminate the subject.

I keep reading how difficult it is to get a call from whomever to get shots, but then I hear about all who have and wonder if I've somehow gone off the grid. I'm signed up at numerous venues. Not that I've sat back and waited for a summons. 

Oh well.  I'll limit my exposure and wait. 

Good day all.  Fast recovery Judge.

Checking in fron SE PA where it will be sunny and 70+ today. 

Wife off to get her first shot.  She's 75+, so a really high priority.  I can't seem to hit on any place I'm signed up much less doing random searches to catch slots. 

And, the heater wouldn't fire again yesterday, so waiting on those guys who this time will bring replacement parts (when they get delivered).

Could be worse....always.  That's what I tell myself.  But it's true.

That's a sickness.

Along with that, I've stockpiled a couple DVD/CD players so I can continue to view my old tapes, especially the Bob Hayden C&DR one.

Plumber came and went!  Heat is flowing.  By Wednesday, open the windows.

RDG photo looks like it was taken from platform in Phoenixville.

As of 7:40 AM, still waiting to hear from the plumber  It's been the sound of silence all weekend.

Maybe a new plumber is in order.  Been with this guy and his dad for 30 years. And we always paid out bill in 30 days.

Another chilly one, but sunny today, then that spring thaw happens.  Only problem is that brings out the cyclists to clog our narrow, windy roads here. Since they too have to dodge potholes, you know what happens.

Scott:  That was a bizarre report yesterday.  Hope your noggin wasn't throbbing all night.

Good day to all.

First week of March is about done.  One more week of standard time.

Clear and chilly in SE PA this AM.

Made a lot of progress yesterday dismantling my friend's layout.  Sad thing.  Amazing how he designed and constructed his benchwork, especially around the oil tank. 

Relaxing day here planned, even though heater not igniting.  Playing waiting game with plumber/heating man.  Thank goodness we have backup heat pumps that are still efficient with these lower temps.

Stay warm....better days coming for us folks in the higher latitudes.

Ray:  Looks like one I just sold for my friend's estate.

Happy Saturday, all.

For those of you living along I-75 north of Tampa, that breeze yesterday was from the Pirate batters flailing at the offerings of Phillies pitchers, punctuated by a couple of long balls over the LF fence.  I know, it's spring training, but we will take it for now.

Off in a bit to work on the layout dismantle and gathering of items for sale.  A couple turntables and round house sections to be removed today.  Advise if interested, anyone.

Chilly and clear here today.  Good day to work inside and look out the windows now and then.

All take care,

Larry
