Willie. I have no intentions to play 16 events. I did 8 this year only because I got talked into 2 more than I originally signed up for. This year I might attend all 16 but hopefully not. Depends on how confident I will be with the staff. I have a “staff” of 1 full timer (in Arizona) and 2 part timers in Wisconsin ( the daughter and her friend) I have the ok to get another full timer. This should be fun. I still have 1 real estate project that started in September that I need to be hands-on at times. The goal is to get everything organized in year 1. In year 2 is the time for adjustments and year 3 is time to talk either the daughter or her friend Sara into taking over full time. By the end of year 3 most of their youth hockey duties should be doneGood Morning All. Happy Veterans Day, especially to all of you veterans. Cloudy and 49° here this fine morning. It will be in the mid-60's again today and into next week. Low 70's starting around Wednesday or Thursday.
Yesterday was spent mostly attacking the "honey do" list, which was OK since the ground was still wet most of the day. Today will be the normal household chores, dishwasher, laundry, supper. I should get some time outdoors in the sunshine after noon.
While I am a member of several other model railroad forums, this one is the only one that I interact with regularly. There's nothing wrong with them except for a few egotists, but I just don't have the time any more. The more trips that I take around he sun, the longer most tasks take me to do.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I did add a few more figures to Garner's Market.
Here's Mr Garner chasing the local feral cat away.

I also sorted out the latest small bag of detail parts that I found Thursday.

All of those barrels came from a very old Campbell kit known as Seebold and Son's manufacturing. Those barrels are wooden. The kit was intended to be a barrel making shop, but I use it as a pallet building shop.

Mostly though, I attempted to clear out some space underneath the layout's lower deck. This is a task that I have unsuccessfully attempted many times.
Terry -
Is that like smoking a blunt???
Tom O - I guess it's congratulations on the new job. Are you going to have to attend all 16 events?
Chad - Thanks, I'll have to look there for the sensor.
Everyone have a great Saturday and a wonderful weekend.
My expertise is production management and customer service. This is right up my alley
