Good Morning All. Cloudy and a warmish 60°. Going up to 80° today after a high of 82° yesterday. Much of the same for a few more days.
I did some more yardwork yesterday, some more select mowing and weedeating. And I still can't figure out the amount of dead, fallen tree limb tips that are appearing under the many Hackberry trees. I already have enough kindling for all of next year!
Garden is looking good, the lettuce that I direct planted on 2/21 came up a few days ago, and is surviving. Almost all onion plants survived except for a few that were suspect when I actually planted them. Tomorrow or Tuesday, I will go back and plant a few radish seeds in the gaps in the rows. I don't really need too many radishes, 3-4 a week is a sufficient harvest.
Today I plan to mow the NE part of the front yard and once again, I plan to attack the tree pile which I deferred on last week.
I did get some time out in the train shed, I added more headstones. That's coming along slowly, it's a bit of a pain.
I finished adding curtains to the house.
Since I plan to have lighting in this structure, I added a light block above the first floor level. The main reason for doing this is because I don't glue roofs on in case I need access inside for future detailing, and I don't want light bleeding from the eaves.
Guy - While there are still a few small grain elevators in my area, most are like this one now.
Mac -
Finally we are treated to your start of the layout.
Just an FYI,
Guy has posted pictures of his layout back in '22, before you joined up.
Todd - Beautiful snow scene. Glad that it is at your house and not mine.
Hughie - I read about that derailment in PA. I'm not sure how a train managed to run into the back of a stopped one. News sources don't seem to be covering that part.
Troy - Best wishes for your wife's friend. I remember that it was one thing complicating her life.
Terry - I didn't notice the lack of contractions, but I did notice several places where pronouns were not used.
Today is Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race day in Alaska. It's kind of a slow moving thing that only true northerners can get into.
Everyone have a great day.
today and a look outside. The Audi 100 is from yesterdays trade. Jetta had well over 400K miles on it (414K more precisely). So i've picked this 1990 Audi with less than half of miles. Nice machine before Germans got into overdoing it with electronics, and it eats up the bumps on the road, although not as fun as the much more nimble Jetta on the curvy two lane roads where i live:
