Good morning. Ready for a cup and a sweet roll Flo. Have another goose egg on the thermometer again this morning. Got up to a scorching 9 degrees yesterday.
Mark - That is good news about your wife. Bronchitisisn't good, but a lot better than the alternative. I think that I am in the same boat as you are. Years ago, the cold and snow really didn't bother me very much, but as I am getting older, it is not as easy to put up with as it was years ago.
We did have some drifting snow Sunday and Monday and when I pulled out of the driveway yesterday, it didn't look bad at all. When I gpot home it was another story. We have a circle in the driveway, and the other side of the circle was drifted pretty good. I and my wife both got stuck pulling in. I had thought about starting up the snowblower, but it was only a thought with the cold temps. Supposed to get u into the low 30's this afternoon so I think I'll take off early and remedy the situation.
Garry - another nice photo. Really like the little baggage car. Sweet.
Curt - That tower really is a nice addition to your layout. Really nice work.
Karl - Great photo, and an Alco on top of it.
Terry - Such a deal. Bet you would have gone for the extended warranty if there were some moving parts.
Eric - You can send some of the warm air up here.
Willie - Fencing in the pastures are on the "to do" list. Have been for about 20 years. They're smart cows and don't play on the tracks.
Justin - You are doing the right thing by taking your time laying sown the tracks. Just think of how frustrated you were with your old layout. Now take the time and run a train through every possible route and see if there are any problem spots. Now is the time to perfect the track.
Jesse - Here is where my dining car will sit. Never really had a good photo of the spot. I have a small building started that will go on the end of the car for customers to enter the dining car. Another thing on the "to do" list.
The siding is an extension from the freight station so the car can be pulled out and added to a train for special occasions.
Here's a rail picture for today. With the colder wether up here, it fits right in.
Later
