Good Morning One and All. Mostly cloudy and 73°. Weatherman still has thunderstorms in the forecast for this morning, despite the fact that the closest rain is 200 miles away in Arkansas and Louisiana. It doesn't normally come here from there unless there's a tropical storm of some kind pushing it from the Gulf. I am irrigating the garden remnants this morning just to be sure. I still have growing tomatoes, bell peppers and squash, although they are slowly nearing the end.
How about a BLT and some hash-browns this morning Francine. Extra bacon.
Lots of thanks for the many likes and comments yesterday:

Yesterday was an off-day out in the train shed. Mostly I ran some trains for about 90 minutes. I pulled out some LED lighting that I have acquired over the years and I am trying to figure out how it hooks up and works. I understand some of the basics, but I have a few questions to ask.
Meanwhile I admired some of my recent work and added additional feeders to the lighting buss.
Here are some leftover pictures that I took in the last two weeks.
First is an overall shot of the road leading out of Ft Wish to put things in perspective.
Next is the doorman and bellhop at the Ashmore Hotel
Helicopter view of the Ashmore Hotel. Don't remember whether I posted this one or not.
Patrick - Glad that you liked the salsa recipe. Not too hard to make and you can now vary it a bit to suit your own taste.
I agree with you on the sunroof. We bought a 2013 Acura RDX and have never opened it. I am not even sure that I know where the controls are.
Jerome - Interesting crime there. They most likely wanted the parts as
Terry posted.
Louis - Cannot say that I ever bought a new vehicle when I was only shopping for brake fluid! I always knew that you were an easy mark when it came to Lionel, but new cars?
I see that you easily found the "Post Reply" button yesterday!
Tom O - Very nice start on the first two dumpsters.
Sherrel - I had considered your suggestion regarding an older boxcar, and may still go with one. I would however, have to crawl under the layout to get to all of the roofwalk boxcars and I don't think I have one that hasn't been weathered. The museum volunteers had repainted that one just for display. Despite the removal of the roofwalk, that particular car was built in 1941, so ATSF would have retired it anyway.
George - Belated condolences on the passing of your stepson. Thanks for the warning regarding the automatic pay.
Joe - No pain, no gain. All kidding aside, I hope that the rest of the week is an improvement.
All right, just for
Louis, today is National Hot Dog Day. For the rest of us old fogies, it's National Hammock Day. It's also Selena Gomez's birthday, I am not too sure who she is, but she sure looks pretty!
Everybody have a great day.
