Good morning everyone. 64 and sunny, hitting 86 this afternoon.
Had the day off work yesterday, and, as usual, overdid it - - these muscles that have been hibernating all winter don't want to wake up yet. Anyway, I planted three bushes in the landscaping that we're re-doing, burned a large pile of debris (fallen limbs mostly), mowed the entire 1.5 acres, and hauled wheelbarrow loads of topsoil around the yard to places where I'm re-seeding, over-seeding, filling in holes and low spots, etc. We're picking up our 20-month-old granddaughter this afternoon and she'll stay with us tonight and tomorrow, giving her mom (our daughter) a break. Daughter is recovering well from that appendectomy she had last Saturday, but she can't life anything heavy (like our granddaughter) for 2 weeks, so she deserves a break, and we deserve more granddaughter time!!
About the only thing that got done in the train room yesterday was to get a sign on the DPM building I finished last week - "Johnny's Printing" in honor of my dad, who was a printer and pressman all his life. Still have to put a smaller sign on the back and attach an overhang over the rear delivery doors. Will post a photo next week.
Willie - Nice looking pool hall. Have a safe trip to San Antonio.
Chet - Thanks. I responded to your PM. I have an idea for a mini-scene when the fire truck arrives. Will post a photo.
Toot - Enjoyable video of the steam operations. That mini train park is quite large, evidently. Looks like fun for the family. I notice kids are riding in their parent's laps - here in the US there would be regulations requiring them to be in their own seat, have a seat belt on, and I'll bet they'd have to wear helmets, too, since it's an open train
So many stupid regs in this country that take all the fun out of stuff. Thanks for posting.
Have a good day everyone.
