Good Morning All. Clear and 34°, maybe. That's what my thermometer shows, Weather Underground station a mile away shows 35°. Another one three miles away shows 32° and Accuweather shows 28°. I'll go with my reading. Supposed to warm up to 63°, 75° tomorrow. Yesterday was beautiful at 55°, sunny and no wind. I don't mind shoveling sunshine out of the way to the train shed!
Another medical day today for my wife. Today is a follow-up laser session for her cataract surgery last September. It's an in-office visit for 11:30 am. I absolutely hate for her to schedule this kind of stuff for the middle of the day, which she always does. Mostly screws up my morning and shortens my afternoon. I always schedule my stuff for first thing in the morning. Wednesday she goes in for a crown at the dentist for a tooth that she broke in November, a week before she had her last knee surgery. They gave her a temporary filling back then, which was indeed temporary, lasting less than three weeks. At least her knee is improving very well and she should be able to drive herself to the dentist. Me, I believe that except for shortness of breath, I am fully recovered from whatever I was stricken with last week. I have suffered from shortness of breath for over 40 years now but it hasn't always been this bad. I hope to be able to get back to daily one mile walks in a few more days.
As I have posted here before, I don't watch TV except for about 30 minutes of Fox Business each morning. however I see brief glimpses of NFL football as I pass through the living room while games are on. Maybe it's just my timing, but over the last two days, I have seen some really lousy officiating in several games! I have also seen some really poor playing by several teams. No wonder I am hearing numerous expletives emanating from my wife! She can be as bad as a sailor when watching sports.

Anything with bacon this morning Flo. Double BLT with cheese sounds good.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I got those backyard junk detail parts placed.

In the midst of completing the Antiques Barn, I decided that I was going to add lights to it. Since it was already assembled, I just lined the inside walls with black construction paper to keep the light from bleeding through.

Then a LED was added.

Here's the final product before dull coating and decals/signs.

Steve J - Three weeks, yikes! I hope that she gets better soon.
Smudge - Cheese in a spray can I do not consider to be real food.
I have seen older pictures of that type of tanker at the end of steam driven trains from years ago. They used them to douse smoldering spots from ejected embers along the right of way in mostly mountainous regions.
While she was mentioned by the hostage taker, she has disavowed him.
Karl - I am leaving the barn yellow, simply because that's the predominant color of two antiques barns in this area. Real barns around here are all red or corrugated metal.
Terry -
Could it be that because he has re-registered so many times from the same IP address that the forum software considers him to be a spammer??
If you care, today's Michelle Obama's birthday.
Everybody have a great day otherwise. Stay warm and safe.
