Good Morning Everyone. It's either cloudy or clear here depending on which direction you're looking, and it's 74°. Thunderstorms are in the forecast for the next three days, but from the looks of the radar, they're widely scattered and the "pop-up" type.It's not supposed to get above 84° today, after 91° yesterday. Note that the average for this locale at this time of year is 96°, so the cool spell continues at least until Saturday.
Yesterday I spent an agonizing two hours on the phone with UPS customer support speaking with six people and finally getting shunted back to the beginning. Had to hang up since the phone needed recharging and I needed a break. My situation was not resolved. I don't know if I was really being forwarded to the next level up each time, or they were just shuffling me around the office. I'll try again today.
I just feel like a Reuben Sandwich this morning Flo. Sugar-free A&W root beer to go with it.
Thanks for all of the likes and comments regarding yesterday's update;

Yesterday out in the train shed, I added some of those cheap Chinese figures to the interior of the General Store.
Even though they are poorly painted, I didn't upgrade them since they are only silhouettes that will be backlit.
I also added some signs and completed the roof.
Terry - Get well soon so you can go back to work!
Alan - Those are great looking locos.
Tom O -
And never tell anyone when you retire that you are retired,
Especially if you own a pickup truck!
Greg - That is one absolutely delicious looking Prime Rib.
One problem is how to hide the credit card's monthly billing from Cathy.
Thankfully I don't have that problem. She bitches but that's about it. Removing the hearing aids takes care of that. Of course adding $100K to my
self-managed retirement account in the last four years certainly helps temper things.
Troy - Get well soon.
Curt - Believe it or not, there are still quite a few General Stores in this area (North Texas). Changing faucets is usually easy. It's getting under and back out of the sinks that is hard.
Hughie - That's a great looking scene with the three Bar Mills kits. You do quick work.
Wish that I could help you with the disposal of the HO Union Pacific stuff, but it is not my RR of choice and I have too much equipment already.
Jaz - Nice tunnel portal and use of materials.
Everybody have a great day. Stay safe out there.
