Greetings, gang.
Another fantastic day under way in the remote reaches of northern Iowa this morning. Right now it's 36 headed for a high in the upper 50s. Yesterday's high was 64. Tomorrow and Monday it's back to the 60s.
I did ride the bike yesterday but no trains in the back yard. Too muddy to clear the track. Also noticed a spot that will probably have to be repaired .
Also had a fire in the pit and grilled some brats. Homemade potato salad and baked beans completed the menu, making for a very tasty supper.
On tap for today is to watch my grandson play hockey. Gotta love internet streaming. Speaking of which, here's another great time waster. NOAA is using a remote control submarine in the ocean south of American Samoa and streaming live. Here's the link:
