Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. 63° and overcast today. Supposed to be much cooler today with a high of only 77°. Trace of rain overnight, we really needed a lot more. The severe storm activity is generally staying north of me and heading to Johnny's world! He'll need that Raincoat! Got the pool filled and the filter running yesterday. Of course with the black cover removed, fresh cool water added and the overcast day, the temperature dropped from 76° to 74°. I expect 78°, which I can reasonably tolerate, by Friday. It will take that long for all of the chemicals to get right anyway. That is about a week later than usual. One of my neighbors brought a tractor/box blade down from his in-laws in OK and I was able to talk him into grading part of my driveway yesterday; for some beer to be named later!
Another slow day in the train shed. Spent too much time outside...LOL It was nice though, I didn't even have to turn on the AC. Continued painting details and added most of the doors to "Four Fingered Tony's". Hopefully today I get the roof to at least one of the structures done. I am behind on gardening activities though, with the remaining onion harvest still to be done, and I have to tuck all of the tomato vines inside of their cages or I have a wild mess!
Johnny - Stay safe and dry. It does sound like you already know the drill, especially after living in this neck of the woods in Coppell. Sounds like you had the beginnings of a tornado overhead that never hit the ground. Been there, done that, have the scars!
Garry - Another great picture of the NCL leaving the station. That trackwork must have taken some time to do.
Bruce - Sounds like quite a good haul. What did your wife get in return for letting you bring it home??? LOL My wife just goes out and buys new shoes!
Sherrel - That's quite the plan. Hopefully it all comes together without a hitch. My thoughts and prayers will be with you the whole time. Hopefully all of the other docs will be keeping an eye on one another.
Louis - Great to hear that everything is currently going well for you. You seemed to have hit the right activity level for now. Soon it will increase.
Have a great day and weekend everyone.
