Home for the federal holiday today. The bride poked me at 06:53 this morning and told me I was late for work and then apologized when I said.... "Holiday...sleep...stop poking me..."
Wawa's got "any size coffee for $1" if you buy it in the app, so 20 ounces to start the day.
Dog started down our usual park trail and after about 1/2 a mile decided he was done - could have been the heat/humidity combination. Came back to weed the beds around the house before lunch and went through shirt number one. After lunch I did some tree trimming with my pole saw and sweated through shirt number two. The basement is a blessing right now and I have no plans to weed until after dinner. Getting ready for a small locomotive project that I'll share progress on later. I also picked up another rattle can of black spray paint at HD for rock prep, so I'll probably be planting more of those later today.
Found some "Johnny Lightning Muscle Cars" diecast cars at the checkout counter of Ollie's yesterday - they had a '69 Charger for $3.99 which beats the heck out of some of the other diecast stuff I've bought for the layout. Looks like they have 6 different ones ('01 Corvette, '67 GTX, '73 Le Mans, '79 Monte Carlo, and '13 Camaro). Stuck the Charger in Hazleton last night.
Back to work tomorrow, but most of my guys decided to make it a long weekend and took leave. Left to me to hold down the fort. Friday will be 1219 days until my planned retirement, but who's counting?
Happy birthday Sir James (belated though it may be)!
