Thank you Martin and Happy Easter. 52 soggy degrees here in The Heart of The Finger Lakes heading to 62 with more rain during the day. So much for a beautiful Easter Day. Have a Blessed day all and be safe out there today. Later!
Peter

Thx Martin, nice to hear from a friendly face again!

7˚c/45f, overcast, almost calm….waiting for extremeweather Dave in a few hours, 85mph wind from west.
I’ve tied down the grill, the wastebins, secured outdoor furniture, etc.

First time in a long time with RED alert.

Yesterday was a nice solo walk uphill, and a beachwalk with the missuss after.

I have a Boeuf Bourguignon cooking, it will keep us fed and warm if the powerlines go down.

Happy Easter!

Morning all, and thanks for the startup, Martin.

I too have risen. Way earlier than I'd like to have, but whatcha gonna do? Going back to bed would have meant toss 'n turn and disturb the Mrs. Instead, I'm here to disturb all of you. Don't you feel special?

It's dreary and wet here, raining at 0C. It'll stay the same as the day progresses, but warm up to +5. Easter's funny. I recall having kids outside in shorts and t shirts doing Easter Egg hunts, and times it was a blizzard. Joys of an even that can vary occurring from March to late April.

Hop everyone has a great day.

Yes, I meant hop.

Bad Easter joke? Yes, egg-zactly.

Obo.

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee start, Martin.
Brenda has been using some of our coffee cups to color Easter eggs. Hopefully, you don't find an extra in yours!
Happy Easter, all.

It's foggy and 39, rising to 56 with on and off rain, predicted.

Yesterday started out nice at the track, but turned cold and windy as the day progressed. I used every piece of clothing in my Corner Marshall bag, and still wasn't warm, till around 8:00pm.
After dinner, I continued reading for a bit. I took a break from Tom Clancy, and finished book 13 of the Reacher series. I went back up to Amazon and downloaded book 14.

Today, we'll clean up a bit, and await our son Joe, D-I-L Megan, Elouise and Oliver. If they're lucky, they'll meet the new cats. They're getting less timid (the cats that is), but maybe not enough for a 3-year old.

On a different note, I was saddened to see the thread about the passing of @George. While we never met, his posts here made him feel like a friend.

Have a great day,
Steve
