Good Morning All. Starting with 78° and clear sunny skies today. Even though the weather forecasters continue to predict triple digits here, it hasn't quite made it yet. I did record 99.9° at some point yesterday afternoon, might as well have been 100°. Still in the forecast until Tuesday. Thought that I had an easy day yesterday until my wife announced that my other daughter and family were coming up today to visit her and help themselves to lunch here. That meant extra household chores that I was going to space out over a few days. Earlier I did some more mowing, with only 1" of rain in the last six weeks, I wonder why the grass/weeds are still growing!
I also
finally removed the second low hanging branch from the tree in the back of the house. I am able to use my new garden cart for the first time hauling the wood to the woodpile.
Good Morning Francine, I'll take Eggs Benedict smothered in Hollandaise sauce this morning. Looks like
Louis is alive and well today.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I worked on two structures primarily. Added signage to the gas station.
City Classics includes an interior for the office, but the garage bays really need one as well. I'll be searching the Internet for suitable era photos and manipulating them to fit. Working on the gas pumps next.
Had an awakening in the process. I wondered why they included three of all of the company signs for the signpost.
It's for that magic moment when you realize that these aren't decals, after soaking the first one in water for 3-4 minutes!
I also did some painting on the fresh market, got the brickwork and windows painted, concrete sills and trim are next.
Everything lined up.
Johnny - Nice shot down Main Street.
Chet - No worries about melting here! Between the pool, A/C, and ice cold beer, I can survive. Lived in this part of Texas for nearly 58 years, this isn't actually too bad and it's far from the worst summer. It's actually below normal temperature wise and about normal rainfall wise.
I look forward to the club pictures every Friday.
Beady -
That's why god made ramrods.
How blasphemous of you!
Ken - I'm with you on posting from the phone.
Chad - Have a very safe trip home next week.
Today is National Bowling Day and National Garage Sale Day. Take your pick. I know where
Chet might be!
Everybody have a great day.
