Good morning.
11 degrees to start off the day with clear skies and an expected high in the upper 30's. We didn't have much snow, but I did crank up the tractor to see how it would plow with the new belt on for the hydrostatic drive. Like a brand new tractor. I plower the snow back around 4 feet from the driveway and a lot more around the circle in the drive. My cousin has my skid steer now as he has some excavation work to do building his new pole barn. Don't know if I will get it back for a while so I wanted to have plenty of space to pike snow if it comes.
Sherrel - Glad to hear that Foxie is doing well. A few more days and the party hat can come off.
Louis - That is a nice looking locomotive. Sweet.
Garry - It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here. Time sure flies. My wife got a nice Hutterite turkey for Thanksgiving. Those are some fine eating. We'll have quite a crew ofer for turkey day. It's going to be a busy weekend for us. Turkey day on Thursday, bowling league on Friday and then we have a tournament in Laurel, Mt to attend on Saturday.
Joe - Harpers Ferry is quite the place for scenery. I have driven through the area, but unfortunately never had the chance to ride the rails in the eastern US except for one triip I made from Chicago to New York to catch a plane to Europe to meet my ship. The Pennsy didn't have dome cars, but I did enjoy the trip.
Wilie - Fire wood is firewood. Any wood you can get is good. A weeks worth, not bad.
Greg - It did sound like you had a lot of fun with the speakers. We have surround sound in our living room with speakers all over the room. When we put the nerw flooring down we were able to hide the speaker wires going to the other side of the room. I did lose one speaker not too long ago, and like you, it was a connection to the back of the amp. What a birds nest I have behind the amp. Two towers in the front with 4 speakers in the towers, smaller speakers at the back wall, a center speaker box with 2 speakers and a powered sub woofer in the middle of the room. The wife won't let me crank it up. Easy to rattle pictures on the wall.
Last night we met a few couples from out bowling league for a birthday bash. It's a fine dining place in Manhattan ( Montana, not New York). I had forgotten that one of out drivers had given me a gift certificate for the place and the wife enjoyed prawns (huge) and I chowed down of a nice juicy rib eye. Cost us only $4.45 with the gife certificate. Here's Dave, the birthday boy and his wife Tanya.
Whenever Tanya and I get paired up in mixed doubes in tournaments, we always seem to get our poop in a group and come out winning some pretty good bucks.
Today is the final NASCAR race for the season. After this I should have more time on Sundays for trains.
Here's a rail picture for today.
