Greetings, gang.
It's 86 degrees with 59% humidity. Temperatures through next Saturday are predicted to be in the 90s every day with no rain in sight.
Yesterday we took a trip down to Ames to visit a friend who is in the hospital. After that we did some shopping and my wife started looking to replace her car. She has a 2003 Tiburon with less than 38,000 miles and thinks it time for something new. She actually got it in 2002 when the first came out so it's 11 years old. She used to drive it a lot more before I retired but since I retired we go almost everyplace together.
Today I spent some time measuring out what I will need to replace all the water pipes in the basement. The house is over a hundred years old and I'm sure the pipes are really plugged up. I'm hoping with enough planning I can replace the pipes in a day.
Tomorrow morning I'm planning to get out early and get the oil changed on both cars before it gets too hot. Other than that I'll be hiding in the house for the next week. Maybe I'll get back to the train room. I need to at least get it cleaned up as a train friend may be coming to visit for a few days.
All stay safe.
Tom
