Good Morning, Everyone!
I find it very comfortable as I type this message wearing shorts, 47F right now. Supposed to reach 60 later in the afternoon. There was an active rain storm pass through during the last evening, that filled up all our many rain barrels. The wife is happy!
Having a toasted steak sandwich with onion-n-cheese this fine morning, and keep the coffee coming until I put my hand over the cup, please.
Sherrel - I believe you are 'flamed-out' due to that near triple digit heat. Feel sorry for you; too bad you weren't on a holiday up here where it's comfortable. We have the room to put you and the wife up, and there are very few mosquito's this year. I'm enjoying this years summer.
Tom - Nice sunset; it looks like those clouds might be up to something, though. Or does that 'Red sky at night, Sailors delight' come true.
Willie - I would rather watch a good Bugs-Bunny Hour, than watch some bull#@*% reality show on tv. So yes, I still watch cartoons, too. - I like that N-scale layout you've shown us, and I can appreciate the work that went into it; but, it is still a so-so layout, isn't it? Looks like a layout that would be great for children to play with.
Yesterday, I was uncomfortable with being cooped up in the house, so I went for a long walk down the hill by the tracks. Glad I did; I found a couple of SD40-2W's sitting quiet and all alone on a siding. The photo is similar to yard photos I've posted before, but, I took this pic yesterday:
I spent some time taking photos of this old, weathered SD-40; frankly, I kinda like him:
Then, I was offered a treat when this Sperry MOW unit happened by. I believe this unit can measure defects in the track somehow. The operator was driving real slow when it went past:
In modeling, I did manage to cut and install the blister-pack windows on my Atlas market. I splashed white paint onto the interior walls; and I mean sloppy, but it only has to be white. It will never be seen well. I just wanted to lose the plastic red brick color.
Well, that's all I have for today! Have a good one!
