Good Morning All. 41° and misting, wind out of the north. Temperatures are supposed to drop into the mid-20's overnight, but it looks like the
rain drizzle will cease by noon. The 30 mph wind should dry everything out by nightfall. Brrrh! Might have a chance to walk after lunch sometime.
Got a little more bathroom remodeling done yesterday afternoon. I was able to remount the medicine cabinet and light fixture along with attaching another row of boards. Moved firewood into the house; it burns better when dry although it only really gets wet on the outside! I also did the less than pleasant task of removing ashes from the wood burning heater while the fire was still going.
Out in the train shed, I redid part of my cursed chain-link fence. CA glue failed me. I had planned to do some ballasting this weekend but never got to it. I did however paint random ties different shades of brown and gray as replacement ties were randomly done it my modeling era. I continued with the placement of additional figures.
David - Glad to read that you are located a safe distance from the current wildfires in CA. Stay safe on that roof.
Greg - Those neighbors are really into the "back to the earth" lifestyle. While I grow about 65% of my vegetables, I still rely on Kroger to fill in. I no longer raise my own meat animals although I did for many years.
Garry - I didn't realize there was any value in the old horn-hook couplers either. I saved them all anyway over the years and used some for scrap loads. And then I spoke with this particular dealer at a train show. I returned the following year with a zip-lock bag full and he bought them. He also purchased some plastic wheelsets but I don't remember how many or how much I made. Nice looking Lionel trains and a seemingly well behaved kitty.
Louis - I don't really know what percentage of bands used the stacks of Marshall amps, but it seems like all of them did. You always knew that a concert was going to be loud when you walked into the arena and saw this being set up on stage, behind each band mamber

Trivia: Jim Marshall built the first amps in response to requests from Pete Townshend (Who) and Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow), neither of whom were satisfied with what was available at the time.
Uh oh! Today is "National Happy Hour Day ". Be careful on the roads later on. It's also Veteran's Day Observed, so a second chance to thank all veterans.
Everybody have a great day. Stay warm.
