Good morning everyone

Thanks to the Marriott next door I have coffee to share. My hotel won't have theirs ready until 7. Whaaaaaaat?

It's a pleasant 60°F here in King of Prussia PA, with high thin clouds just as we had back in Rockville yesterday. Looks like the high will top out around 70, with mixed sun and clouds.

I'm in for various uke playing workshops today, then the instructors will play a concert this evening. Four others from my group are also here, adding to the fun.

Stay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them. Do it today, NOW, for tomorrow may be too late.
 
Good morning and thanks for the hotel coffee , Keith.

I'm enjoying my own version of hotel coffee at the Loudoun Quality Inn.

It's 50 up here, rising to 68, later. I think it'll be partly cloudy.
Edit: no, it's nice and sunny!
It didn't seem too cool when I brought ice to the car, but I'm wearing my powered base layer, just in case.

I was assigned turn 5 yesterday, and the crashing happened in every turn but mine. I'm not complaining, though.

Today , we'll begin the last race weekend of the season

Enjoy your day,
Steve

Morning all, and thanks for the next-door-coffee, Keith.

No motel here last night, so I've broken the rule of threes it seems.

Currently 7 and sunny here, as the sun just starts to reach into the dip we live in. It'll reach 17 later for the high.

Today is errand day: return old paint, batteries, tires, oil, bottle & cans. Those kind of things.

Nothing as fun as ukes or racing, or visiting Oslo.

Hope everyone's having a great day so far, and that it continues to get better.

Obo.
 
Mornin’ y’all. Thanks for the start, Keith.

Yesterday afternoon, it rained for the first time in 37 days and didn’t stop until it had dropped 1.25 inches. I swear you could hear the ground sucking it in. Today is partly cloudy, 66 to start and finishing up around 77.

Today may/maynot involve working on the SUV to find the source of the noise in the front wheel. Since it’s RWD, it’s either bearings, brakes, or struts. Easy enough.

Good Morning World, finally not hurting all over, so today's agenda is to go for a ride once the fog lifts. At 5 am we had partly cloudy skies, could see the moon now 1/4 mile visiblty. Temp is 54 F high 68 F by 3 pm with Sunny skies this afternoon. Well Y'all have a great weekend G
 
Howdy all!
I'm fortunate to have my own kitchen complete with Black Rifle, and still have enough to share, but thanks Keith.
It should be illegal to withhold coffee until 7am... maybe they begin earlier on weekdays?
Went to bed early for me last night, like 9pm. Slept till 5am when I woke alarm-less. Had no problem staying awake yesterday, but I didn't have lots of energy, and I definitely was moving slower than usual.
Seems the 8-hour equalizer was all i needed.
Today is the annual Bluff Park Arts and Crafts show, so I'll take a quick look around to see what the woodcrafters are selling.
While I respect the artsy crowd, I really want to get some ideas for things I can easily build and sell, like planters or outdoor furniture and things like that.
But I doubt those kinds of things will be there, but it's worth a look and it's an excuse to get Kaiser out and be among people. Dogs are allowed at this gig, and it will be outdoors.
Then we'll go to Home Despot where I'll return the crimpers I didn't need for the Georgia job Thursday night. They let Kaiser in, too.
Reminding me that I need to find my own RJ-45 crimpers, because I have 2 or 3 pairs somewhere in the garage. Since I've been doing a lot fewer burger jobs, they have not been used in a long while, and have wandered away from their usual storage location.
Barbers Annual Vintage fest is next weekend, and the Birmingham Home Show too. Those are two huge events I always go to, so I'll have to figure out how I'll split the weekend.
Both are big enough and interesting I enough I want to go both days each year.
The good news for y'all is, I haven't found any way to clone myself yet, so my weekend will be divided.
I'll think of something.
Have a good Saturday, wherever you go.
Or stay.

Afternoon Keith & All from sunny, SOuthern Utah!

Currently it is 82F, up from 50F and heading for 85F. No rain in the near future, but heat is.... especially in SoCal, where we are heading on Tuesday! :( No breeze yet, but later we'll see the winds from the NW @ 7 to 8mph.

With my kitchen pass, I rode the :bl13: down to the ST George airport for their airshow. Pretty disappointing, but what do you expect from a small airport. There were a number of small older aircraft there. The three that I was excited about was the P51, F80 and the B17. The problem with the B17, it was parked so far away, I had to use my telephoto lens (can you call it that?) on my cellphone to get a good picture of it from the back.

After the show (took me all of about 1 hour), I rode over to Costco for a $1.50 Hotdog & Coke. I then rode thru ST George and hit Hwy 18 going north, which they were setting up for a marathon. I stopped in Enterprise for a break and then on home, after gassing up. About 180 miles for the day! :)

Today & tomorrow, we'll watch the four sessions of our General World Conference of our Church, and just take it easy. While we also get things ready for our trip to SoCal.

Plain ole cereal for breakfast, we'll have a Pepsi with our lunch.

Anyone :bk13:, have a great day on the roads! :hat3:
