Good Morning All. 46° and light rain, which has been here off and on for the last 24 hours. Exactly 1" in the rain gauge this morning. Looks like
Johnny and
Patrick are getting the wintery mix from this system according to the localized radar. Successful odyssey yesterday, nine stops and a 53 mile round trip (in the rain) in 3.25 hours. Instead of stopping to eat, we just picked up some BBQ to go and went home to eat.
Eggs over easy and a double order of bacon today Flo.
Thanks for all of the likes and kind comments regarding the progress and townspeople pictures yesterday;
Justin, Jerome, Karl, Patrick, Jim, Chet, Bob, Sherrel, Phil, Mikey, Curt, Rick, Tom, Ken.
I got some more ground cover done around the Steel Works yesterday.
Trees are next for this scene, although I have to make some more first. This structure is also going to get interior lighting. More on that tomorrow.
Greg - Isn't it great now that we can just look at inclement weather and not have to bother getting out. In this part of Texas, they don't have snow removal equipment and they rely mostly on traffic to remove snow/ice when we get it. In our rural county, they now send out the road graders (hours late) to sort of clear the roads since the county emergency services (ambulances, volunteer fire departments etc) obtained a permanent injunction forcing the road services to clear the roads so the emergency equipment could get through. They just push the stuff aside leaving anywhere from 1" -3" still in the road. They only act when there is over 6" on the ground. It might still take two days to reach our house.
Beady - Really great to see your progress. Need to consider a third table.
Sherrel -
Willie - that is an unreal number of stops on a shopping trip - made me tired reading about it. You must make a list - I would forget half of the places?
Yes I do make a list along with everything that I need at each stop. I do suffer from CRS and without the list, I would certainly skip a place or two. Since we live out in the boonies, we need to make every trip count.
Curt - Thoughts and prayers for your family in these trying times. Hope that your trip is a safe one.
Bob - From earlier this week.
Doesn't look like the busker is making much money. Really great scene!
There's a few dollars in there.
Over to the right of him in that park is the following activity.
Today is National Bootleggers Day. They actually still exist in this part of Texas. I know a couple of them locally, although I don't partake. Any still in your neck of the woods?
Everybody have a great day and a wonderful upcoming weekend.
So, I packed it in and went to bed.
