Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning Folks. 60° and clear sunny skies here. Don't know about the rest of you, but I like sleeping with the windows open. Hello Flo, I'll take two over-easy eggs and a handful of sausage patties this morning. Well, smack dab in the middle of my day here, we're going to a memorial service for our friend who passed away last Friday. This will be my first experience with a graveside Jewish service. I've been to Shiva's before, I think that is what it is called, conducted at a relatives home by a Rabbi and consists of prayers and chants in Yiddish, before commencing into a celebration of life.
Thanks to all who commented or liked yesterday's post; Johnny, Dave in PV, Justin, Sherrel, Patrick, Chet, Phil, Tom, Jerome, Jim and anyone else that I may have missed.
Spent some time yesterday afternoon in the train shed with the A/C. I finished installing the two spurs and painted the track. Here's a progress shot from the front.
Time now to repaint parts of the plywood to fit the rearrangement. Structures switched sides and building on the right moved back a bit.
View from the rear.
Two questions now. What am I going to do with the blank space behind the paint distributor on the right in this view? The other question is what am I going to do with all of the remnants from the Pikestuff walls and roofs that were cut up? I'll answer both. Build a maintenance shed to fill the spot.
Easy enough.
I still need to put some finishing touches, details and weathering on these two structures, that will most likely happen after ballasting the spurs and adding the ground cover in this area. Looks like I should have used the filler putty before painting, but that gap isn't really visible in person.
The forum software would not let me post the full post this morning. Not sure why unless I have too many pictures. I'll split it up and try again.
Johnny - Get well soon.
Garry - Have a safe trip. Great pictures yesterday.

Everybody have a great day.
