Good Morning All. Clear and 62°. Yesterday it eventually dropped to 57° before finally getting to only 86° for a high. A/C was not needed since the house cooled off so much overnight. It will go back into the 90's today with the southerly winds though, a return to somewhat normal. On another positive note, the pool temperature dropped 4° to 85°.
Damn kidney stone kept me up part of the night. I didn't feel it pass but It seems to have moved on, or maybe it's just the three ibuprofen tablets that I took.
Took the SUV in for it's computerized transmission check yesterday and they found a failed sensor. They had to order the part which will be in today and they hope to have it ready later this afternoon. Cost of the test, parts and labor is estimated at $450; plus I am still driving their complimentary loaner car. That's postponing the weekly grocery/beer trek until Friday. While I was in town yesterday, I did go to the local Hobby Lobby for a re-supply of adhesives and hobby paints that I was getting rather low on. This is my first visit to a non-essential business since February. Currently in Texas, masks are required on all employees if they're open to the public. However only about 60% of customers were wearing them. Returned to town later to take my wife to a doctor appointment that took 1 1/2 hours because of "over-booking". There was really only two other patients, but they took a reeaalllly long time with him.
Light breakfast today Flo, just a short stack of blueberry pancakes and a couple of strips of bacon.

Once again yesterday I wasn't able to spend a lot of time in the train shed, life again! I cut out a sidewalk from Evergreen sheet styrene and glued it and some additional .040" x .060" strips to the bottom of the Smalltown structure that I am continuing to work on.
Paint shop today.
Over on the other side of the tracks, I have a small passenger station.
I bought this years ago already built from my LHS consignment shelf. Since I don't run passenger trains, I always intended to make a railroad/historical museum with it.
Since it came already assembled, I don't know who made it and never bothered to see if I could find it on the Internet. I added the subtle weathering.
Sherrel - That is a nice structure. I'd love to know if it is a kit. I am not much of a scratchbuilder, but that might be something to try. I have just the spot for it in a future development.
Curt - The figure with the kid on his shoulder came from a Woodland Scenics figure set that my grandson's purchased for me a couple of years ago. They like going to the LHS which is Discount Model Railroads, located just four miles from their home.
Garry -
The Canadian Geese eat grass, and they leave green poop in the driveway
Geese are dumb, there is no grass on driveways!
Everybody have a great day.
