Good Morning All. Mostly cloudy and 35° to start this day. I need to go out now and burn the "burn trash" before the wind picks up later this morning. Another beautiful day yesterday, mid-60's, sunshine and no wind. Note to ones self: Do not place leaf lettuce next to frozen turkey in the refrigerator. Outer leaves will freeze!
By the way, frozen turkey's do not thaw out in the fridge, contrary to turkey manufacturers instructions. Three days later and it's on the kitchen table now.
Out in the train shed, I installed 12' more of blacktop roadway, and partially striped it before I had to go and fire up the grill. Earlier in the day, I drilled out a few more electric poles for eventual stringing of wire, and I made some more electric meters to attach to structures. In between, I dullcoated and added license plates to some vehicles that I am going to add to the road. Some will get drivers which will add additional detached legs to my growing collection. Off-layout, I have just about cleared all of the space that will soon (hopefully) be occupied by a workbench; a project that I started about two months ago. I've had the materials to make it for well over three years now, but those damn trains keep intruding on my projects! All that's left to move is a couple of boxes of old MR's and RMC's from the 70's.
Curt - That workbench even drives me crazy, but my computer desk really doesn't look any better. My workbench in the train shed, actually a cleared off section of unfinished benchwork, at least has an approximate 12" x 15" clear space. My new one (see above) will be 16" x 30".
Greg - I am only attempting to wire up one scene right now. Seeing how it goes will determine whether or not I do any others.
Garry - Enjoy the guests.
Toot - Quite the layout and it's refreshing to see so many young members. Thanks for the video.
Everyone have a great day.
