Good morning. 28 degrees to start the day with the possibility of some snow showers.
Not much going on here. Was supposed to meet my friend for lunch but the place is closed like many across the country. Was thinking of going to the Y and get some exercise,but they were closed as well as the Bozeman Hot Springs where I was hoping to get some swimming in. Ended going over to my friends place for a while and played some pool and then came home and went down to the train room. That's most likely where I'll be later today. Getting tired of the news on TV. I do realize that the virace is a problem but I also feel that the media coverage is contributing to the panic of some people.
There is no real shortage of goods except for the panic buying of idiots. I do feel bad for the truckers that are having a hard time trying to find places to eat and shower as they cross the country. There are very little services available to them and the country NEEDS what they bring to the stores.
Terry - It is good to hear that your wife is off of the respirator. Hope they can figure out what's up.
Curt - Nice to hear that you're in the planning stages of a new layout. Waiting to hear what you come up with.
Greg - Happy that you finally got the SD-39 running. Your wife is probably doing the right thing with so many stores and services unavailable.
Joe - That was quite the fire. They did a great job keeping it from spreading to the other buildings. Our local volunteer fore Dept has never lost a basement. Nice photos as usual. Interesting article on the train load of TP.
Willie - Sorry to hear about your wide open spaces being intruded on. I feel your pain. I have been going through that for years now with all of the newbies moving in and wanting everything that they had from where they fled to get here. Nice photos as usual. Really like all of the small details.
Garry - Thanks for posting about the steam generation car. Saw the post on my phone yesterday but hate to try typing on it. Nice photo by the way. I almost picked one up for the Northern Pacific but really wouldn't have need it.
Jim - Nice photos of the Durango & Silverton. I have ridden on it a number of times but never had the opportunity to take photos like these.
I may turn on the gadget that my son ordered to stream different TV programs with also. Haven't had much time to play with it, but the train room will be first on the list of things to do.
