Good morning, everyone. 60 degrees and partly cloudy here in SW MO - heading for 68 today. Just leave the pot here, ma'am - and I'll have two cinnamon doughnuts - the doughnuts to make me fat, the cinnamon for my health - what??
Left work early last Friday - man, there must have been 10 pages of posts to catch up on this morning!!
What a weekend - in the 70's both days. We raked the winter's accumulation of leaves from around the house (we're bordered on two sides by deep woods), and cleared leaves and weeds out of the garden, getting ready to till it and plant pretty soon.
David - Thanks for the tip about WS Rusty Rail track painter. There are several different track weathering tips folks have shared - which one for me? Have to think about that.
Regarding natural remedies/healthcare - we've tried various naturopathic healthcare things for over 20 years - I've found some work for some people and some don't - it's not a one-size-for-all, as far as I can tell. But I do know that some things DO work for me, so I stick with those. To me, the worst thing about aging is the cost - - things that I used to be able to do, now I hire someone to do them
From the train room - well, not a whole lot of progress because we spent the weekend outdoors. But I did get two pieces of flextrack spiked down and wired up (alligator clips for a temporary hookup) and ran our first engine on all six feet of track - made sure it took the curve and that the sound worked - everything was great. We celebrated - MOH, son, DIL, granddaughter were all there to witness the big moment! Waiting for a curved turnout to arrive in my latest MDKlein order, and then I can lay a bunch of track and start having some real fun!!
See ya later. Have a good day everyone.
Johnny
