Good Morning All. A bit chilly here at 19° and clear as can be. Quite a bit colder than the forecast low of 25°. A couple of more days like this and then we return to more normal, with upper 60's by the beginning of next week. Most of my leaves fell yesterday and immediately blew south to the neighboring wheat field. They'll be back tomorrow when the wind returns from the south. Weird weather yesterday with the temperature in the low 60's and no wind to start the day. I was able to walk and do a bit of yard cleanup. Then the mist/drizzle hit for about two hours before the winds turned from the north and were between 28 and 33 mph all day long. Rather bitter conditions, at least the rain stopped when the winds arrived. Needless to say, activity moved indoors and I did some needed housework.
Hey Flo, start me with a handful of bacon and a pair of over-easy eggs.
Thanks for all of the likes and comments for yesterday's update;
Johnny, Chad, Sherrel, Greg, Hughie, Ken, Kellyann, Tom, Curt, Rick, Jerome, Patrick.
I did get some time in the train shed late yesterday, before taking the wife out for dinner. Started the cleanup/rehab of the next two structures that were transplanted from the old layout, these reside across the road from the Woolworth's and the plant store.

EMT's have already removed the immobile young lady and I dusted everything off.

Johnny - Yes to that wintry blast. Seems crazy that my temperature right now is only 4° higher than
Beady's up there in Michigan.
Greg - Extra thanks for noticing the signs. There's a couple more on the back of the structure which is the side that faces the aisle.
Beady - I'm right there with you on the saggy sleeves. I do not wear long sleeves at all when working on the layout. Learned that the hard way over thirty years ago. On those rare days when the temperature in the train shed requires long sleeves (like today), I only run trains with minimal switching.
Kelly Ann - First time that I have heard it called Poppy Day. I always knew it as Remembrance Day over there in the Commonwealth.
Patrick -
Speak for yourself.
Today is National Happy Hour Day. I'll be celebrating at home as usual. Everybody have a great day and keep warm if possible.
