Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. 58° and clear. Temperatures in the mid-80's for two more days then mid-90's for at least a week. No rain in the forecast at all for the next ten days. Been nice here, I've used the grill for supper for the last seven days! Chicken thighs, rib-eyes, brauts, hamburgers, spareribs, something else that I forgot and a pork roast. Tonight we'll go out for our anniversary celebration. Back to the grill tomorrow with salmon.
Just puttered about in the train shed yesterday and took some pictures for Chet. While I still haven't completed everything yet, it's a general idea of what I have been posting about for the last few weeks.
Some others didn't turn out as well, so I will retake them today.
Garry - Very nice looking Geep.
Joe - Wow! those are really old cars. I have only a couple of those with the cast metal floors that are now retired to a box because I changed era's.
Sherrel - I agree on the weather idiots standing out in the wind and rain. Saw one fall on his a$$ yesterday while I was passing through the living room. I am not as transfixed as my wife is regarding weather watching that's not close.
Chet - Those train videos were quite interesting. Of note to me of course was the three ATSF boxcars on the Logan Valley.
Ken - Sounds like a fun trip. I like to get out and drive occasionally, but don't normally go that far unless I am planning to. Next big one for me is October 7, 700+ miles from home to Gulf Shores AL for vacation. Normally takes me ten hours plus rest/meal stops. Higher speed limits here in the South. I use four wheels instead of two.
Johnny - Very familiar with Discount Model Trains. Back in the kit days, they had far more inventory though. Owner Jim, Wayne, Dave and another fellow whose name I don't recall are great guys to deal with. I'll be visiting them in a few days as well, as I need some scenery supplies (won't stop there!). Been doing business with them for 26 years now. I do miss my old LHS in Denton though!
Everybody have a great day and remember 9/11 and those first responders who are no longer here.
