Good Morning Everyone. Clear, sunny, and warm at 76°. At least there's a minor breeze this morning.
Took a break from mowing yesterday, same today I think. Instead I manhandled the weedeater for a while. I noted when I was adding chemicals to the pool, that I will have to add some water in the next couple of days. Due to the timely (and untimely) rains this spring/summer, I haven't had to add any yet. Had to drain some off a few times though.
What's the Special of the Day? Flo. Full House Mexican Breakfast Burritos, huh! OK, I'll take
two one with a bunch of spicy salsa on the side. Still trying to lose that extra pound from last week.
Thanks for all of the reactions and comments yesterday;
Jerome, Guy, Sherrel, Phil, Garry, Karl, Louis, James, Joe, Chet, Tom.
The layout cleanup project continues. I dusted off a few more structures as I rounded the turnback curve on the peninsula. Not forgetting about the simultaneous CUP, I attached and ballasted the section of display track at the museum. Pictures later.
Meanwhile I also got some better closeup pictures of several businesses.
Bea's Liquor is as I posted yesterday, a Grandt Line section house. The bag in the patron's arm, is actually a very small block of wood painted brown.
Joe's Radio is made from DPM wall components. Nothing special, just a scene filler that would likely be here.
Next over are a couple of shots of Import Motors.
The next business over is a "hod rod" garage. The kit is another DPM kit known as
Shultz's Garage.
As you can see, I haven't made it down this far with the cleaning and dusting. Eventually, this structure is going to be part of a "scenic eye candy" scene. I have a bunch of detail items that I intend to add to the few that are already scattered about.
Guy - Thanks for the additional comments. Cleaning the layout could be daunting if undertaken all at once, that's why I do it in scheduled quarterly spurts. As I go through this section, I am beginning to think that the last vacuuming on
this section was not as thorough or consistent as it should have been. There is more than the normal 2 year accumulation of dust in
some places. I do not really have a dust problem normally.
Looks like you have your hands full for the next few weeks with that tractor, although it doesn't really look to be in bad shape from the picture.
Garry - Like you, I chose implants rather than dentures. never had any issues with the work that my oral surgeon performed. I never had to take any of the prescription narcotic pain killers that he prescribed. It just pisses me off that I pay the same for teeth cleaning as if I had a full mouth of real teeth!
Joe - Testing doesn't fix anything. I truly think that it is being used as a political tool. Your governor is desperately trying to compete for publicity with his more well-known neighboring governor.
Sherrel -
Last measurable moisture was 5mm on D-DAY
Has CA gone the metric system now? Wouldn't surprise me!
Tom - Best wishes for Sienna. She'll get over the Cone of Shame.
Today is National Caviar Day. That's just overrated liverwurst made with fish eggs!
Everybody have a great day and an even more wonderful weekend.
