Good Morning All. A cool 62° with clear skies this morning. Should be back into the mid-80's again today for the high. Today is the last day of these cool north winds, south winds starting tonight will bring moisture and warmer temperatures up from the Gulf. Then the night time temperatures will stay above 70°. So far this season, we have not had to use the A/C at all at night and only sporadically during the day.
Grandsons and granddog arrived yesterday for a few days. A bit disappointed though, since they forgot to bring their soccer ball with them. The tree-free (approx 65' x 200') part of my front yard has more space than anything in their neighborhood except the school field. And I just mowed it for them.
Ham, grits and a full house omelet for me this morning Flo. Double large glass of cold OJ to wash it down with. Send me the tab for
Louis' tomato sandwich.
Thanks for the likes and comments yesterday regarding the CUP (Charlottesville Urbanization Project);
Jerome, Garry, Hughie, Louis, Tom, Curt, Guy, Justin, Chad, Phil, Joe, Ray, Rick.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I made some headway on the CUP. I touched up the repaired places on the backdrop, painted most all of the plywood a ground color, and painted some of the backdrop brown.
After the paint dried, I ballasted about 3' each of main line and passing siding.
That small blank area is going to be a grade crossing.
View from the other end showing the passing siding work.
I staggered the sections that I did so I wouldn't stick my elbows in the wet ballast on the main.
Didn't get as much time out there as I had hoped, visitors kinda took some time away.
Garry -
Willie ..... While Sherrel is absent, you may be the troublemaker
I'm not sure that I am ornery enough.
Curt -
This is the last pre-build before I start on the layout
Can't wait to see the progress.
Joe - Yes there will be some urban scenery. It's just easier to do my "Bob Ross horizons" than urban scenery.
Sad about the fire. Hope that the arsonists are caught.
Louis - Glad to read that you are somewhat mending up. Now that the yard is mowed, when's the pool going up?
Everybody have a wonderful day.
