Good Morning All. Extremely foggy and 47°. It's so foggy that I cannot see the train shed from the bedroom window 30' away. The heat wave continues, with 75° today and then three days of 82°+. This is somewhat typical for Christmas week, although usually not quite as warm.
I am for the most part over my negative reaction to the Moderna booster shot Tuesday, although there are some minor lingering chills and aches. Interesting that it didn't happen when I got the initial immunizations. Wife had no issues this time. I'll be headed out shortly for the weekly grocery trek which was postponed from yesterday. I hope that there aren't any unmanageable crowds.
Thanks to all who offered well wishes for my (hoped for) short term vaccination reaction.
Just a BLT today Francine, with extra "B". Make it an apple juice on the side.
Over the last two days, I made significant progress on the DPM structure that I am making out of modular walls. I don't know yet what kind of business/warehouse it may be yet, but the walls are now complete.
Some of the wall sections didn't go together too well, hence the Testor's putty along the front wall. But since I am going to paint the whole structure, that shouldn't matter. The paint is to differentiate it from the brewery next door.
Joe - Safe travels this holiday season.
Troy - While I always try to arrange some menu items for the dietary needs of my guests, I also rely on their common sense not to eat stuff that is harmful. Fortunately I don't use a lot of gluten and dairy products when I cook, except for cheese!
Rico - Like others, I have PM'd
Jerome and not gotten a response. But I have noticed extended hiatuses in the past, especially when he was building the train room.
Todd - Good advice on the water intake. I am mostly able to keep the blood sugar below 120, but I have to pee more often.
Guy - Cafe is excellent.
Sherrel - Sorry that I missed your call yesterday. Thank you for your concern. It was quite a blow since I rarely get sick or feel badly.
Steve J - I resolved the Christmas present dilemma a few years ago. There's this thing on Amazon called lists, and my kids and wife all have access to dadslist. I generally put extra stuff on there since my birthday is January 4, and it serves double duty. No duplicates since once one of them orders something from the list, it drops off. I have told them before that the list can be suggestions, as my LHS, which is a discounter, is only five miles from where both of my daughters live. They could get everything cheaper there, but they are young and online shopping is where it's at. I only put train stuff there since we are at the point in life where if we want or need something, we just purchase it.
Best wishes for your daughter. I know that you have posted before that it's irreversible, but maybe with our prayers it will stabilize.
Jaz - Discount fiend! I'll have to start using that phrase; my wife calls it hoarding.
I have met
Sherrel's wife in person, she is a wonderful lady.
Christian - How can anyone as
innocuous as you be banned from a forum??? Excuse the $50 word, I added a link for non-English speaking persons.
Curt - Excellent work on the engine servicing facility.
Chris - Litter? Did you say litter? I have litter on my layout. Here is a vacant lot.
Terry - Is there no chance of you purchasing the home from the landlords?? Owner financed?
Today is Festivus for all who think that the holidays are overblown.
So Happy Festivus Day, and Merry Christmas to anyone cutting out early for those out of town visits. Everybody have a great day and stay safe.
