Good morning. 31 degrees with a very light dusting of snow overnight.
Justin - Very glad to hear that your daughter is back home. Hope she gets back to normal soon.
Curt - Many of the appliances are now made in China. The Maytag dishwasher we got to replace the LG was made in the USA. We did a lot of looking and caught the Maytag on sale plus it was the only one in the store that had stainless steel spray arms. All of the rest were plastic. Garry, our serviceman also commented on how manufacturers pretty well know how many cycles their appliances are good for. I was talking with my wife last night and our Kenmore (basically Whirlpool) washer and dryer are over 30 years old. Made in the USA. I replaced the heating element in the dryer twice. No other problems. We had talked about replacing them, but so long as they're working that ain't gonna happen. We have a 15 cubic foot chest freezer in the basement we bought used 40 years ago. Still working just fine. Made in the USA.
Johnny - Another nice photo. The fire truck does look familiar.
Willie - More nice photos. You sure like the FP45's. Texas Motor Speedway is one of the few tracks that I haven't been to and I hope to get there some day. California is another, but I refuse to go into California have have the money I have to pay in taxes go to some of the off the wall projects they have. I also don't care much for baseball any more. I really enjoyed playing years back, but have lost interest over the years.
I did spend a lot of time in the train room yesterday running trains and switching. Being grounded, it help keep my mind off the shoulder, that is until I try to reach for something with my right hand. Here's a photo of McNab Livestock with a couple of hands getting ready to load cattle.
Guess I'll post layout photos instead of rail photos for a while. Heading down to the train room shortly.
