Another cold start in NY. Freeze Watch. They say one more day of this. Too cold to work outside yet.

My bad, an unfortunate typo there. I understood what you were posting.Willie: it's 25db not percent if I understand the graph correctly.
Thanks for the safe trip comment. The wife seems to have a very heavy foot this morning. I told her Hiawatha opens at 10 not 8:35 at the rate she is moving. Turns out we are having breakfast before the Hiawatha stop with 2 old business associates! I was told I was told this and agreed. I however deny all knowledge of this because if I never saw either one of them again, life would be good! No matter, I will lose any discussion on it and will just grin and bear it, it’s a free breakfast! I however will not do business with either again. Terry though wants to hear what they have to say…Good Morning All. Cloudy and 69° here this morning. A bit cooler today at 76° due to the heavy cloud cover. Rain is still in the forecast for Friday through Sunday, but with temperatures in the low 80's. More of the same for the foreseeable future. Pool opening is still 2-3 weeks away.

Mowed a lot yesterday, 2-45 minute sessions got all of the East side done, with a small area on the North between the house and the train shed. Growth was thick and heavy and it took longer than usual. I didn't get the South side done as hoped, but I will get that this afternoon. I did have to make a 90 minute trip to the county motor vehicle place yesterday to re-register the Lexus in the right county. Despite informing the dealer when we bought it, that our address is in one county since our mailbox is in that county, we actually live in a different county 1.25 miles North of the damn mailbox; they registered it in the wrong county to begin with. It makes a difference in where our tax money is spent, but more importantly, the county that our mailbox is in has to have a $51 emission inspection since they're caught up in the high pollution Dallas-Ft Worth area.
Otherwise, today is the weekly grocery trek into Denton this morning. So far that's the only destination on the trek, but if my wife goes along, that could change.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I did continue with the structure cleaning/maintenance. Here's that Fix-It Shop that I added figures to on Tuesday.

I did some upgrading on the bank also. I added a sign; the original one had been gnawed on a lot by a rodent in the old lean-to train room on the backside of my barn.

A couple more figures were added to the sidewalk that just seemed a bit too bare.

Then there was the Hardware Store that never got any figures either.

Hughie - Sometimes these layered wood kits have some surprisingly good details.

I am not a medical person, but based on what you have described lately, I think that the uptick in the tinnitus is mainly based on stress. And that is compounded by the additional angst involved. It won't go away, stressing about it seems to amplify the condition. No pun intended.
EDIT - I see by your additional post that you are now including diet in your diagnosis, which I fully agree with.
Tom O - Afterlife or not, my neighbor is in a better place now. My belief in afterlife has waned somewhat in the last few years.
Safe travels today.
Karl - Yes, the late neighbor was like family to me and two other neighbors who have been here just as long. The original 75 acre farm was split into 7 properties and four of us original buyers are still here, now 3 but his son was alive when they moved out here.
Today is National Lingerie Day, so celebrate. I won't be wearing any, but celebrate in any way that you wish.
Everyone have a great day today.
David-Have a safe trip.Packing a suitcase or three for a few days away.
Thanks. We leave to go on holiday on Sunday. A few things to do before then.David-Have a safe trip.
GUY - Add my name to your list - I can relate easily!I'm not sure if it holds any weight, but, it's supposed to be 'National Grey Haired, Grumpy Old Man Day' today. Might only be a Canadian holiday; should be recognized worldwide. I'm going to add it to my holiday celebration list, even if it's not considered a paid stat.
Just having a hard time with maintaining a positive attitude about anything except the weather seems to be warming, winding
I love it!!!! Thanks for rescuing it.Bright sunny morning in the UK, the postman just delivered this:

Bit of a wreck, does work though. I will see if I can work my magic on it.
At least it was cheap....
Curt - Thanks for the comment. The DOT placard on the tank cars says 1230-3. So it must be a methanol transfer. Methanol was known as wood alcohol in the old days. Around here, it's used in the oil industry.Guy- Hey! I resemble that remark. My last set of co-workers called me Walter of Jeff Dunham fame. I would tell them I didn't see it! Neat photo. Do you know what chemical it was?
