Don't hold your breath.
If and when, be sort'a like a reverse Christmas present, instead of wonderment and excitement, trepidation at what it may contain.
Jeffery: any explanation of this would be interestingGood morning. It's 81° with 85% humidity. The high will be 95°, cloudy with a small chance of rain.

No plans for today. Still in a puzzle concerning the road damage yesterday. The more I look at it the more I think it was done by a very heavy truck trailer being turned there.

Chance of rain later with a high of 86. I'll be going to Kokomo this morning and more yard work later at home.

A tree fell on the trailer. The photos are of repairs that were made.

Went to the courthouse today to turn in my release from jury duty that I got from my doc this morning. The reasons he listed are just the tip of the iceberg but should prove to be sufficient. I went first to the old courthouse which has been there since 1910 then had to go across the street to the new courthouse which has been there since the late 90's. By the time I got to the second floor I was wiped out. There I turned the aforementioned document over to the judges secretary then made my retreat. I had parked behind the post office, not even a quarter mile away. Getting back there took about forty-five minutes. By then I was well and truly hurting and was more than happy to be on my way back home. Nothing else planned until Thursday when I have to go to Oakdale.

Looks like no star gazing tonight. We have big lines of thunderstorms coming in from Texas and they really got things jumping here. May get a chance tomorrow night.
Calling it a night early due to storm activity. See y'all tomorrow.

Good evening.
It turned into my second Monday this week. The last thing tonight was a train incident. I carefully placed a B&O EM1 on my layout, then with a muscle spasm, I ripped a handrail completely off the boiler. As I was re-attaching it with CA, the glue spilled on the smokebox. I wiped off the CA, and called it a day in the train room. I will hopefully complete my repair attempt tomorrow evening.
I didn't really want to run that train tonight anyway...

Terry, the way your luck has been running, that was probably a wise decision.
I spent my day, painting a second coat on the walls and ceiling of the two story stairwell. This time , no ladder, just a small foam roller to get the corners, and the full sized roller to coat the walls using an extension pole where necessary. It looks much better than it did 24 hours ago.
Tomorrow, I get to cut the lawn and trim the bushes, Thursday is shopping day, so Friday, I get to paint the trim. Maybe I'll find some time for the layout over the weekend.
The main theme of the TV weather people since Sunday has been the lack of 90° + days this summer as recorded in Central Park, NYC. Seems that there have been four (4) days on which the temperature exceeded 90° this summer, vs. 12 last summer and 30 in 2010. They are treating the superlative weather of the past five days as an abnormality.
I guess they have to find something to have a crisis over.Wife processed two large Zucchini, and baked two Zucchini Breads from scratch........turned out very well. Amazing what you can do with the right tools and knowledge.

You get those too, eh. I've noticed that they happen like yours, seems to be some weird nervous/muscular reaction when you relax your grip and always when you're being otherwise careful.
