Good Afternoon Everyone.....mostly sunny but on the cool side here in my part of Wisconsin.
Just came home from my first session with my Physical Trainer. No surprise after she says I need some work and have to get into shape. All this Covid trapping environment kept me inside and a total lack of exercise for months and legs muscles simply became progressively weaker and I first notice it after it was too late. I been here in this condition before after I had extended stays in ICU, so the physical routine isn't any thing new to me, except the price of $50/a week, per half hour session with my Trainer. She's good and really put me though the wringer this afternoon. I start with her in two weeks from tomorrow, but will go to the gym and work out on my own until then. I like the Nu-Step machines at the gym.
I also wonder if my having Lyme Disease two years ago had anything to do with my condition. I need to do some research on the topic.
Chet: That was some train wreck!!! Was any thing damaged?
TomO: Another nice photograph of your layout.
Still looking for a SOO Line, GP38-2 shell for a Proto 1000, any road number. Even a non-running basket case would work for me

Chadbag: That Christmas Tree being in the cool outside environment with some water helped to keep it green. It was also likely that the tree was to have been cut shortly before your purchased the tree, unlike here in Wisconsin the trees are cut in early November. Is it a Fir, which will last the longest of all evergreens after being cut.
Side note about Christmas Trees, during college I worked several days a week and Saturdays during winter at a Garden Center/nursery and after Christmas where we accepted all the unsold Christmas Trees from area tree lots. We used the trees as wind breaks for young plants in the nursery fields and it was my job to strip off the nylon mesh from the trees, load the trees on a hay wagon, drive out to the fields and carry the trees to the correct areas for placement. I received four truck loads a day or more and it seemed like an never ending job. I work from daybreak to after dark. Some one said that only 60-70% of the trees cut for Christmas were sold. But, it provided me with $2.75/hr spending money.
During winter I was the only person working other than two winter tree planting crews (four guys) who worked up until the end of February. It was my job to do an inventory of the different sizes and quantities of plants in the entire 200 acre nursery and then return to my office to do a sales/inventory booklet of my findings. I was out there working until the temperature dropped below 10 degrees. I kept warm by walking for the most part.
That's about all for now...............

This is the control plant for the turnouts in the Saxeville Interchange. Most of the toggle switch control two turnouts. The switch have since been labeled with numbers and the turnouts will get identified for the operators.-Greg
