Good morning everyone. This should be a day where you can get your honey-dos done, or just say, "the heck with that, I got some important train stuff to tend to".
Right now my train room has been converted to a movie studio. Well, sort of, I have a lot of videos and 8MM stuff to get into the computer to make DVD's, and the train room is the easiest to make into a dark room. It's been a struggle, but I've still got about another 1000 feet of 8MM to convert. I have a box where you can put a projector at one end and a camcorder at the other and record the movie, but it doesn't work too well with my current camcorder, so I have a movies screen set up and record it that way. Not much fun and not the best images, but it's the best I can do without paying someone to do it for me and having to pay for a lot of bad film that should be edited out. Besides, it keeps me out of trouble.
We're right now at 64 and it looks like we're going to be in the high 70's to mid 8's for the coming week until Sunday when we'll be pushing 90. Not a record for that day though since it got up to 98 back in 2007. Somehow, those baseball guys have a direct line to Mother Nature, nice temps, no rain in the immediate forecast.
