Good Morning All. Cloudy and 47° this Friday morning. Rain is in the forecast for tonight, 70% at 4:00 and 95% at midnight. The sun returns Sunday and upper 60's is predicted for a few days next week. No fog this morning after nearly a week of that stuff.
Yesterday's grocery trek was at best kinda "Ho-Hum"! Store was somewhat empty of people and there wasn't any eye candy. The only thing that they were out of was my wife's iced coffee, which meant an additional stop over at the Target a block away. The iced coffee there is as far from the front door as one could go and still be in the store. Of course she stayed home yesterday so I had to journey back there to get it.
Anyone here ever tried "Sous Vide" cooking? That's very low temperature and long cooking times in a sealed Ziploc in a heated water-bath. We got one of those cookers for Christmas from our daughter and SIL, who have been using one for a couple of years. My wife has used it on a pork roast and a T-bone steak successfully so far. She wants to try it on a trimmed brisket that I bought. We looked it up and it takes 50 hours! Might get the same results just leaving it on the kitchen table for that long.
After the 50 hours, it can be put in the smoker for 4 more hours. I'm hesitant at this point.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I did start the next section of split-rail fencing for the cemetery. I need this section to be 21" and I got 2.5" done. As I posted earlier this month, it's a slow process, at least for me. I will get more done today since I will have time in the morning to do part, and the glue will be dry after I return in the afternoon. I'm also still plugging away at the structure/vehicle cleaning project on this section of layout. It's taking longer than usual since there have been more than a few days that it was too cold for me to get out there. I just cannot do any layout or workbench work with long sleeves on as they
will snag something with less than desirable results. Railcar cleaning is on hiatus for a few days while the fence is on the workbench.
Let me see if I have any leftover pictures from the club layout for posting today. Yes, there are a few.
That's about it. I have others that I had to delete.
James - Enjoy the Amherst show and have a safe trip.
Chris - Socks and shoes will cover up that mis-matched foot!
David - Sunny day??? That seems unusual coming from you.
Alan - You also enjoy the show and have a safe trip.
Today would have been Eddie Van Halen's 69th birthday. It is Wayne Gretzky's 63rd.
Everybody have a great day and a wonderful weekend coming up.
Have to go back in a few weeks to get this replacement swapped over.
