5:00 am

The temperature is +9 C, with a high predicted of +14 C.

From the Environment Canada website:

Today Periods of rain ending this morning then cloudy with 60 percent chance of showers. Risk of a thunderstorm this afternoon. Wind becoming northwest 20 km/h this morning. High 14. UV index 4 or moderate. Tonight Cloudy periods. 60 percent chance of showers this evening with risk of a thunderstorm. Wind west 20 km/h becoming light overnight. Low 8. Normals Max: 23°C Min: 9°C.

Another day of temperatures almost 10 degrees below normal. The weekend looks like it will be a complete wash out. Then, maybe, we will return to something approaching normal for this time of year.

8:00 am Model Trains

I am making progress with re-initializing my Ship It! files on the Dell Inspiron laptop. I have all 10 trains setup but still need to add some details about the timetable for 6 of them.

10:40 am Technology

I received an email from Adobe about a problem I am having with a couple of FTP settings. They suggested that it might be caused by a damaged Preferences file and gave me some steps to delete these files and have Dreamweaver restore the default settings. I tried this but the problem remains. I have sent them a screen shot indicating the problem and will now wait for a response.

9:30 PM Model Trains

I continue to make progress with my Ship It! files. I have now completed the initial setup for all of the databases. All 10 trains are in the system complete with timetables and locomotive/caboose allocations. All of the errors have been eliminated involving shippers and consignees. There is still a lot of work to do to get the parameters "in balance", but I am now ready to begin this stage of the process.
