Good Morning Everyone.....Sunny and pleasant in Wisconsin in spite of the Stock Market.
As planned, worked on the CM&N track plan yesterday and ran into some problems with the layout's outline and I need fo re-check some measurements that I took. Also, drawing the radii for curves is harder than I thought it would be for me.
Finished with the State and Federal taxes this morning and other than writing a check to the FED, the taxes are ready to mail.
One company I worked for had its stock drop from the 40's/share down to around .26/share when the company filed for Chapter 11. Some co-workers had been investing for years in the company stock of retirement. The stock recovered to the mid 20's/share. The drop was due to the 2008 financial mess and the company had to re-finance 18 billion in outstanding loans. Once out of bankruptcy, the company repaid all of it outstanding debts. I took all of my stock options in cash and never considered company stock at any time.
Mikey: This summer I'm planning on cutting scale logs for my 10 pulp cars. I plan on using a piece of foam block to form the insides of the loads. Nice job and really realistic looking!!!
That's all for now.....

My biggest issue is I need to sell some of the company stock I have for our house project and it took a dive today. Should have sold it earlier this week. The "sell window" closes Monday -- we can only deal in company stock for 45 days out of every quarter.
