Good morning. Still busy with outdoor chores. I have a mole that has been driving me crazy for a couple of years now. Was hoping that he would have dies over the winter but no such luck.
Got a phone call from the orthopedic place where I had my shoulder replaced asking me questions for my Wednesday appointment. They asked the normal Corvid-19 questions about having left the state and if I had any medical issues. No problem there, but there was one problem. They wanted me to "wear my mask" when I came and that they would be taking my temperature at the door. Guess I don't have an appointment next Wednesday because I told them that I never had a mask and have no intentions of getting or wearing a mask. Guess I'm just a grumpy old bastard.
Terry - That was a good one at the grocery store. I'll have to try that one. Sort of like having a new guy on the ship and sending him off to find sound powered phone batteries or a left handed monkey's fist.
Willie - You really make me jealous with all of the space you have available and all of the interesting buildings and scenes you've been making.
Alan - You sure have done an outstanding job on those brass cars.
Joe - It sounds like things aren't all opened up where you are. A major PITA. At least you got some glasses. Can't believe that you can't get some sort of refund from the NHL & MLB. Like the photos of the sharks.
Sherrel - Hope you figure out the water softner. You and Joe must be gluttons for punishment going to Wal Mart. Can't think of th last time I was in one. It's been years.
Garry - Excellent layout photos ( as usual ).
Curt - Happy to see that you are finally getting started on construction. Looking forward to the build.
Ray - Like the photos of the Central Montana Railroad 849. You are correct about the CMR having a lighter color blue. We have ridden of their dinner train which runs from just outside Lewistown up to Denton and back. The cars they use for the dinner train are ex B&M RDC's.We have taken the trip a few times. We go to bowling tournaments up in Lewistown and if there is room on the train, we go.
The Butte Anaconda and Pacific tracks run right along I-90 from Rocker up to Garrison Junction where it connects to the MRL/BNSF. I have been to their shop in Anaconda and seen the roundhouse and turntable which they use. A few blocks from the bowling lanes in Anaconda.
Time for lunch.
