Good Morning all,
Pretty good night sleep, which is a rare treat for me. But means I woke early, 0530. Alarm set for 0730 this morning. I have pastor duties today: A funeral for a dear man. Really liked him - always cheery, faithful, encouraging. And another ex-Navy hand, so we are closing with "Eternal Father, Strong to Save." Thought I'd check in before getting busy on sermon prep.
WIth the golf rained out yesterday, I got the bicycle maintenance done. We will head to the Arboretum this afternoon to see the amazing tulip display. The lilacs are starting their bloom, but it's too early for the roses. We'll enjoy the grounds and have a picnic supper. So no layout work today.
Tomorrow wifeykins and our two daughters are planning a girls afternoon after church and all. So hoping to get some serious work done tomorrow. I am ready to get that TT installed and drive some stakes, as they say. I daresay no track plan is perfect, but I'm ready to start laying track.
Just how persnickety are the new Walthers Turntables (933-2860) with the controls and all? Will I be forever making adjustments and tweaks? Access is not great, but not bad either.
I have 8 of 12 track bumpers assembled and put some paint on some of the constructed ones. My weathering skills are not great yet, but trying to portray serious rusting.
Well, have a good day, all. ----Steve
