Good Morning All. Cloudy and looks like 57° at this location. Seems like the weather forecast for the next ten days is all he same, upper 50's at night, mid 80's during the afternoon and partly cloudy off and on the whole time. Wind speed will vary from 10 mph to 22 mph but it will be blowing constantly. No rain in sight. Such is life on the windswept prairie!
Once again due to Covid concerns, my family, siblings and offspring, are not going to have the large annual Easter Egg hunt and luncheon tomorrow. It's historically been 45+ people. It's too bad as tomorrow looks like a great day for it. I will however be doing a much smaller version at my daughter's home with both daughters, SIL's and three grandkids. Just nine folks which seems like too few compared to a normal year. But it is more than last year when we didn't even get together except by phone.
Hey there Flo. Good to see you this morning. I'll just take scrambled eggs and a double shot of bacon today. Hold the toast.
Thanks for all of the comments and reactions regarding yesterday's pictures;
Karl, Mikey, Troy, Justin, Guy, Jaz, Tom O, Ken, Sherrel, Garry.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I continued work on the grade crossing. Just the portion between the main and siding. All of the work was being done over on the workbench in preparation for installation. Prepared the culvert pipes, and made the paved portion from tarpaper and styrene to make installation easier. No pictures of that stuff yet. Another simple workbench task was making two street signs for the scene, I also added a pre-made RR crossing sign.
Like I said, not much to show this morning. It will get better. I am going to have to bring out the weed/tall grass stuff and get to work on that. I don't know about your part of the world, but it is quite prevalent around here.
Guy - Don't be too down regarding the Mustang's year. I remember them well, but did not remember that difference. I had different friends who had models from both years. You're right about the Harley's. I have a younger neighbor who has one and it can be heard from quite a distance, actually a couple of miles. Thankfully he can't afford to put gas into it, so he only rides about once a month, to the gas station and back!
Jaz - I love what you do with figures. The character from Beetlejuice is excellent. Nice looking pair of puppies.
George -
Is this the new oil pipe line into the US?
To an extent, yes! However the Keystone pipeline already exists, the permit that was yanked was for a "shortcut" section that would allow greater more direct flow. It's a shame that all that money has been wasted.
Garry -
I just decided not to include MLB on my list of things to do this summer.
That will free up some time that could now be used better!
No further comment on baseball or pipeline as I might step over the politics line!
Today is National Play Outside Day, actually the first Saturday of every month is. Hmmmh! When I grew up in the 50's and 60's, every day was play outside day.
Happy early Easter everybody, have a wonderful day and stay safe.
