Same Ol' Buzzard
A Pleasant Good Morning to All. It's mostly clear and 67°, looking at 83° for a high again today. More of the same until Wednesday when there is a chance of rain. Perfect Springtime weather for us.
After a morning full of household tasks, I mowed with the push mower around the garden, up next to the pool and close to the house yesterday. When the battery finally discharged all of the way, I put up some more t-posts to mount the Tomato cages to. Hoed the Tomato bed and pulled some weeds along the way.
Stopped early to make a real homemade supper. Italian meatballs with organic ground turkey, Parmesan, Ricotta cheese with Parsley, Oregano, Rosemary and Chives picked from the pots on the back porch. Used some freshly picked Garlic and frozen chopped Onion from last year. The salad had freshly picked green and red loose leaf Lettuce, Spinach and Radishes from the garden. Added in some Arugula from a pot on the porch and some homemade croutons as well. Made some homemade Italian dressing again with herbs from the porch to top it off. Didn't have time to do the homemade pasta and just used some boxed Penne.
Later today, I will climb on the tractor and mow somewhere; parts of the front yard aren't dry enough yet but there is no shortage of alternatives. I should finish the t-posts today as well. I do need to actually set the cages in place in the next couple of days, before the growth hinders that. Both gas cans are empty, so I will make a short road trip to the closest place 6.5 miles away.
I only got into the train shed during rest breaks yesterday, but pulled out the next project. I enjoyed assembling the freight car kit last week, so I pulled out another, another covered hopper, this one from P2K.
Bought it at the train show 2 years ago, it's one of three of the same but with different numbers. It came from a dealer who purchases estates and the price shown, $8 is two dollars less than I paid for new ones in 1999. It obviously came from someone who had bought it but never opened it like the other two that I got.
Stay tuned for this build over the next week.
Tom O - I'd like to see things settle down a bit with the trade talk. From what I have been reading, it seems that "the sky is falling", although I haven't noticed it yet. I wonder if the president finalized a trade deal with the Vatican this weekend?
Dave - I just can't make it up to see you sing this morning. I'm sure that it will be inspirational.
John - Hard to see the station with that damn train in the way.
“One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people’s minds.”
Everyone have a great Sunday.
