Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. It's a chilly 37°, partly cloudy and quite windy out there this morning. A couple of days like this and then back to normal weather for here. Got a bit warmer yesterday than predicted, 78°, today only 55°. Broke the tractor while mowing yesterday. I'll need to go to town to the hardware store for a couple of washers to reinstall one of the front wheels. I already have an extra bearing (if needed) and locking washer, but no spacer washers.
Wife is reluctantly returning to work today to finish up some lucrative tax returns that she didn't finish yesterday.
Need something hardy today Francine, how about a couple of those super-sized breakfast burritos with sausage, egg, potatoes and cheese, and some hot salsa to wash everything down with.
Whoa! Thanks to all who liked and commented on the two industries that I posted yesterday. Let's see if I can get everyone; Ken, Sherrel, Bob, Guy, Phil, Paul, Justin, Greg, Karl, Hughie, Louis, Mikey, James, Tom, Curt, Chet, Joe, Jerome, Garry, Chad, Patrick.
Yesterday out in the train shed, I mostly just admired my handiwork! Planted the Advanced Metal Products building.
Note the "shortie" trailer to the right. Someone here, sorry I don't remember who right now, pointed out that trailers of that size were only single-axle trailers. So I removed one axle before returning it to the loading dock.
I am back to the original layout cleaning project now, and with it is the ongoing tour that was so popular when I did the first area in January. Advanced Metal Products anchors the right end of a 12' section along my west wall, lower deck.
Overall views.
In depth pictures tomorrow, as I need to eat breakfast right now.
Paul - Good to read that everyone is all right and there was no damage from the "off-road" experience.
Karl - Your workbench just looks too well organized for me!
Justin - Great looking score at a great price.
Sherrel - Did you find your hidden Easter eggs yet?
Greg -
Oooops! I see that Louis and Chad have already pointed that out.
Chet - That's too bad about the train show, but it is probably a very prudent decision given the circumstances. Belated Happy Birthday.
Ken - Really nice work on that building. I have it on my layout as well. It was made by Model Power and is one of the first kits that I purchased in the last century. I reversed the side walls and put the fire escape on the back. It's visible in the center of the first overview shot above. I never liked the wall color, but haven't gotten around to changing it.
Glad to read that no one suffered any major damage from the storms that whipped across the Southeast yesterday, Hope that trend continues as they continue Eastward.
Everybody have a great day. If you're still working, keep your distance and be safe.

You have until July 15 this year, without penalty.Well, I got side tracked by the wife asking for the forms to pay the Federal estimated taxes that are due on April 15th. I hope that if they are post marked by April 15th there will not be any penalty.
