Greetings, gang.
Cloudy windy and cool at 59 degrees. So far we have a half inch of rain with up to another inch and a half predicted by tomorrow night. Not a very good holiday weekend in the remote reaches of northern Iowa.
Had a nice day yesterday. Oldest daughter and her family came over for burgers and hot dogs on the grill. Her oldest daughter brought her family as well so we had a good crowd in the back yard. Ran the new Shay for several hours without a flaw. Then when it started to sprinkle, I was on the phone with older son who is currently in Qatar. In the process I may have broken one of the wires going from the engine to the tender. Will have to wait to test it. There's no slack in the wire to repair it so I may have to order a new wiring harness. Keep your fingers crossed.
This morning I watched the F1 race from Monaco. No immediate plans for this afternoon.
All stay safe.
Tom
