Good afternoon from a brisk So. Central Wisconsin where the high is supposed to get to +7f/-13.8c. Seems doubtful since it is 2:30 as I started typing. It is +5 degrees now. The winds are calmer now at 10mph versus the high teens and gusts in the high 20ās that we had this morning.
Eventful day, not really but yes.
Kohls at 10 to return items from Christmas and buy something that fits.
HomeDepot for new N95 or NK95 masks. No NK just the Nās which are still fine. The 95ās now are being suggested to replace cloth and the paper surgical masks we have been wearing. Dane County Wisconsin is the highest vaccinated county in the state with almost 80% fully vaccinated and 70%+ having the booster. Rates of hospitalization is still climbing, almost entirely unvaccinated folks and many under 5 year old kids. That must be heart breaking for those parents. So the county health department is suggesting the upgrades.
Then we hit a furniture store for a possible new mattress purchase. Sticker shocker, $2300 for a Queen sized Stearns and Foster firm mattress. Not a set just the top mattress. They have them in stock and the sales person sort of laughed as that might be the only thing in stock at the store.
Then hit the grocery store, barely unloaded the groceries at home and got hit by the dreaded low blood sugar event. At least the 3rd one this month. Like I mentioned previously this has not been a good health month for me. Tried to rest while Terry is napping but not happening, so here I am.
Greg, the layout is not big. Along the walls, cantilevered as a shelf layout. Main wall is 32ā, the aisle way wall is 11ā, the north papermill wall is 12ā the east papermill wall is 14ā and the bridge wall is 7ā with a 3 1/2āaisle crossing and 7ā of programming track above the work bench. Nothing wider then 24ā except for the abandoned quarry corner that is 32-36ā not 100% on that. I can expand about 60ā in 2 different direct directions but until we know what our living accommodations will be this will stay awhile.
WILLIE, thanks. I think I have a couple months of work in on that wood chip pile and tracks. Rebuilt a couple times as I was having issues getting the wood chips smaller then a 3ā child. The editor of RMC chimed in a few times and said one day. If the chip is bigger then your scaled down hand they are too big. Everything went into a coffee grinder more then a few times. The chips over the track work are āgood enoughā.
I pulled all my sales attempts off of Facebook but left the locomotive for sale here on the forum. Doesnāt seem to be any interest and my PayPal is messed up. PayPal is now saying I donāt exist after at least 7 years of using it. So I canāt do payment transactions.
TomO
