Good Morning All. Cloudy and 44° right now. Temperature actually went up by 2° overnight, but that doesn't mean much. It also rained shortly after sunset last night, leaving .65" in the rain gauge. Better than nothing; it's been a while so there are no visible puddles this morning, until maybe when the sun comes out! Getting the doggies ready to take home this morning, oh, and pick up my wife. I actually have no clue as to which daughters house she's at, but I have to go to both anyway.
Nice day here yesterday, although not as warm as I like, just 57° for a high. I spent part of the day cutting up some more firewood for the wood-burning heater from the stash off dried wood. Prior to yesterday, I estimated that I have 75 days worth already cut and stacked; my goal is 92 days. Yesterday I did four more days worth. Looks like I'll have some to spare when I am at the goal. Meanwhile I renewed the small spot of white rattle can paint on the limbs (trees around the estate) that I have determined need to be pruned this winter for next year.
How about a large Mexican omelet this morning Flo. A big bowl of spicy salsa and a tall OJ will make it all go down better.

Still no modeling it the train shed yesterday, and most likely none today, I am however enjoying running trains.
Here's some stuff from my archives that I may not have posted before.
First up is the Stone Bakery. It's a DPM kit, now Woodland Scenics.
And the rear with Mrs. Stone
speaking with the trash men.
Sadly, this is the view from the aisle, the front of the building with the figures that I placed inside, can only be seen from a distant viewpoint, and cannot be noticed unless you know what to look for.
This is a downside of detailing all four sides of a structure which I do, before knowing exactly where it will go on the layout.
Another shot of a train running. This time it's a trio of CF7's as they're just passing the bears seen a couple of days ago.
These three Athearn models are pulling a scrap metal train to the off-layout steel mill.
Meanwhile, here's a family having a fun time washing their dogs.
Dad is on the other side of the yard observing and having a cold one (or two).
Guy - I am usually always up that early after 43 years of getting up that early for work. But I don't usually post that early. I am normally catching up on the overnight news or writing/editing Wikipedia articles on 50's - 80's rock and roll music.
Time for me to go now. It's always a pleasure visiting here.
Everybody have a good and safe day.
