Good morning. 27 degrees with clear skies with an expected high in the low 50's.
A shame that we lost Barbara Bush. She was quite the lady.
Willie - Getting a head start planting the garden I see. We used to have a large garden, but with the kids grown and out on their own, we let it go to lawn. I have more time to spend in the shop working on my vehicles or down in the train room. The last time I was at Bristol was maybe 6 or 7 years ago and what a difference from what it used to be. You are so right about trying to leave after the race. We'll usually hang around for a while, grab something to eat and visit the vendors to see what they have before trying to leave. Not too bad if you wait for a while.
Sherrel - I am like you and just want to see some warm weather. I have been wanting to change from winter tires to summer tires for a month and just when I think it's a good time to do it, the white stuff is on the ground again. It sounds like Joe is also getting tired of the cold weather too.
Greg - It sounds like Murphy stopped by for a brief visit with the garage door.
The hub for the Woodland Scenics lighting that I ordered last weekend wont be here until the middle of next week so I don't know how much work will get done on them this weekend. I do have 4 of the street lamps left over so I guess I can find a place to plant them. Here are a few photos showing the main street and where the lights are.
Not much work will get done the following weekend either because of the train show over in Livingston on the 28th at the old Northern Pacific Depot. I have a number of locomotives that I think I will part with along with some rolling stock that I don't use very often. This will give me a bit more room to store the freight cars that I recently acquired. They will also have the club open for public display and they want to have as many trains running as they can.
Here's a ril photo for today.
