Good Morning All. 44° and overcast with a chance of rain for the next four days. There is some light widely scattered rain all about, but not within ten miles of me, yet. Spent some time in the garden yesterday, making final preparations for spring planting before it rains. I start planting in about ten days or so. Made the final applications of compost and bone meal to the areas that I am planting first. In keeping with the outdoor mode, I also cut some more firewood for the heater. By my guesstimate, I only need about another weeks worth to make it through the season. Unless the temperatures did what they did for the last four days, staying between 60° and 80°!!! Kinda nice for January.
Out in the train shed, I got back to wiring the new staging area. Feeders were already installed, just had to sink to the floor and connect them underneath. About 100' of track and 22 sets of feeders, whew! Of course I had to run some trains in and out to test. Great, no shorts yet, I'll finish today, maybe. Next is installing 12 ground throws.
Dave - Best of luck with the impending house sale. That will be a monkey off your back.
Chet - I am right there with you on Obamacare. It may work for some, but I want to make my own choices. Better stop now...
Bruce - Don't know where to start with you. Congratulations to your son and your whole family for getting him this far. I spent most of the 90's paying to put three kids through college, one with a master's degree to boot. On the plus side, none moved back home afterwards. It's good to hear that the loco that you sent Terry works so well. On the "home" front, take your time and ask a lot of questions before jumping in. Hindsight!!! Doesn't sound like you're going to do any "scooting" today. Be safe.
Joe - Yea, after looking at Medicare Advantage plans, I am happy that I went with separate supplemental and drug plans.
Sherrel - Short video? Does it remind you of those 20 second loops from back in college?
Terry - I thought the same thing when I read the sign. It is a shame.
Everybody have a great Friday the 13th.
Willie
