Morning!
The winds are supposed to blow in at 16mph today, so I'm hoping it's a chinook. I love chinooks, they're so warm and cozy.
Right now, it's 17°F outside, and I just walked outside in my underwear to start the wife's truck. I can tell it's a pleasant day because I didn't shrink too much.
Yesterday, I had to do all the stay-at-home hubby work, like vacuuming and dusting, so there was no progress on the layout room reno. My wife has a weird sickness in how clean the house should be, and she wants it kept real clean. So I take the time one day a week to do so. Keeps her happy.
Thanks for all the likes on yesterday's prototype photo. It was probably a repeat, but, that's what I'm down to for awhile. I haven't been going down to the local CN yard as much as I want. It was too cold and the snow was too deep for the past little while.
Just because I must post a photo to stay healthy, here's another one from about one year ago. Probably, it's a repeat as well:
Going downtown yesterday, I noticed there was a line of gondolas parked on a siding. So something in the MOW department is going on. I'll have to keep my eyes on it, and try to get some photos. I'm thinking CN is likely replacing more ties this year.
Tom - That's an interesting sculpture your son has in the front yard.
Garry - Looks perfect for cross-country skiing. In itself, a fine self-isolating pastime.
Chadbag - Thanks for posting all the photos. It's cool to see what other modelers are up to.
Karl - I believe that as we age, we have less healing powers than we would like to believe. Ya gotta take care of yourself and just relax until it's time.
Willie - That Gemini building looks suspiciously like a Woodland Scenics building. I think the manufacturers just reuse and rename all the time. Seems like it, anyway. - Not a bad thing, I suppose. The trouble is, all the mistakes get passed on as well; like that out-of-scale Atlas Market I built earlier. I think that was a Life-Like building turned Atlas.
I probably won't be coming in to the shop for a few days. I'm all out of photos, and don't want to keep posting repeats. So, I intend to just get on with the layout room reno for now.
Have a good one!
