Good Morning Guys. Holding steady at 33° and foggy. Enjoying a break from the rain right now, but it is returning according to the radar. Total rainfall for the last two days is 6", on top of the 1" Saturday. Need to remember to empty the gauge this morning. My pond filled up yesterday, it was about 85% at 1500 but I didn't look any later. It hasn't had any water in it since early October. I hopefully can get the grocery/beer trek in today before it starts raining again.
Finished all of my feeder wiring in the train shed yesterday. Everything continues to test OK. I see some minor trackwork fixes that I need to do, but none of them are causing derailments. Next step is installation of ground throws, twelve I think, but I most likely won't do that until next week. I need to clean the area up first, track and rail remnants, discarded rail joiners, wire scraps, bent track nails and leftover loose ties. Oh, and the tools! I did start on trimming up some of the loose ties and re-inserting them in the flex track gaps. This portion included 28 pieces of flex and 12 switches along with assorted trimmed pieces of track. I think that I wired in 28 pairs of track feeders.
Sherrel -
Willie - we need some of your rainwater?
Come and get it, I have some to spare. 7" since Saturday with 2 1/2 more days expected, then two days off and rains will return Tuesday, maybe.
Curt - The tower project came out looking fine. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the freight house.
Eric - The day is starting off well for you.
A view of my backyard, including pictures of all of the fallen limbs from one of our trees.
Everybody have a great day.
Willie
