Good morning. It's 40° and partly cloudy but feels like 30°. The high is supposed to be 50° and it will be mostly sunny though it will feel like 40° thanks to the wind.
I got the rest of the track locked in place with the drywall compound yesterday. Now I just have to wait for it to dry then cut off the high spots. Once that's done I can paint the drywall compound to match the ballast that will be on top of it later. I got a message yesterday on another forum concerning my decoder install on my new GP38-2. What I did on that was to leave the cheap Bachmann decoder in place to operate the lights since the Digitrax decoder I was putting in had a non-functional light circuit and would be just running the motor. The sender told me that "it would never work" and "you're a total idiot for even trying" and "you can't run two decoders in one locomotive". Wonder how he/she/it thinks separate decoders for motion and sound work then. The wording and overall tone of the message indicated to me that the sender had little idea of what they were talking about and demonstrated to me just how inexperienced/uninformed they were. I can't imagine what people like that think gives them the right to push their relative lack of knowledge on others as if it's the correct and written truth. Oh well, onward and upward. My sister and I went to Pizza Hut last night for dinner then went to see the Narnia 3D movie. Of all the 3D movies I've seen the 3D effects in this one are the best I've seen and there were several times I actually ducked as objects on the screen seemed to come hurtling out into the audience. Well worth the $11 admission fee in my opinion. I still have the second lot of HO items that have to go up for viewing. It includes several flatcars and boxcars. The list can be found at this link:

I got a atlas GP15-1 in CSX colors! I might build a bean pole switching layout using the local branch as a model for my fictional line. But for now I'm just Arm chairing it until the dust settles and the finances get straight!
The kids were well behaved, and kept their hands in their pockets. Only kid that wasn't "good" merely ran up and down the aisles.
