Good Friday morning, Coffee Shop! It's 59°F (15°C) and partly cloudy.
Weather:
Partly cloudy. Highs in the upper 70s. Northeast winds around 5 mph.
Have a great day!
Thanks for the comment though!
@bnsf971 - RR time frame is '68 - '72ish so it sounds like I am good to go on a 'busier' logo.

Good evening all!
We are back from our volleyball adventure for the week. The first game we got absolutely decimated against a team I would of mistaken for a
college team, they were that good. My daughter is on the JV team and this week they played both games against Varsity teams. Not sure how
happens or is fair, but its the way it was. The second game we faired much better and ended up winning but we were evenly matched for that
game.
For dinner of course we stopped at the Culvers in town which is our go to when we travel for sporting events since there all around us now. The
after dinner concrete mixer made the hour trip home more enjoyable.
Time to enjoy what's left of the night!

My brother was in Banff last week and said he was calling in the car from Moose and squirrel street. I’m sure there must be a couple more across the English speaking world.

You lost me at trying to think of my favorite locomotive in pink.

I thought it one of my favorite locomotives in pink. Not a problem for me.

Many years ago, they made an entire set called “The Girl’s Train”. A pink steam engine and tender, and pink caboose.
I just went trolling through FB marketplace. Apparently “N scale model train” has a completely different meaning to their algorithm. I got to see a lot of ads that have absolutely nothing to do with model railroading, and now that’s all the ads I’m seeing…If, however, you want to see ads for dating and other sketchy stuff, that would be the search term to use…

Well, howdy there internet peeps and those with Aphantasia
or pink Locos. If you've got one, coffee is on me today. Tell Flo I said to give you one.
It's Troy again...
Started asking around on the gaming forums who can mentally picture their strategy a few moves ahead on the game board. I realized I never do.
If I close my eyes, and try to picture the next move ... Even though the board is right in front of me, it's like I'm thinking in Binary Code, not spatial relationships. If I open my eyes and look at the board, I can see where to move my unit, but trying to visualize what the opponent is likely to do, and how I'll respond to those moves... You might as well teach me ancient Greek. It will make as much sense right then.
Interesting discussions going on in the gamer forums about it.
Of course, the highly competitive guys all think fast and don't realize they're visualizing the game until I press them on it.

Good morning from sleep deprived Wisconsin. I can’t seem to nap during the day here and the night sleep schedule has seemed to be cut by about 90 minutes. The 1st night here I slept great midnight to 6. Nothing like that since. Now it’s more like 1:30 to 6! I’ll get it worked out but without that short 20 minute nap if I had a short night, I’m getting cranky!
Weather wise yesterday was wonderful topping out at 75, it was calm and clear. Today is more of the same but they are saying 80 for the high. We need rain!
Not sure what the plan is for the day but dinner out for a fish fry was mentioned. We like to eeat between 6 and 6:30 but fish fries are rarely reservations taken. So we shall see. I was at the storage shed warehouse the other day for some art work. I also brought home the Weber Spirit II propane grill. It’s set up downstairs in the breezeway between buildings. Maybe some Walleye for Terrybandvshrimp for me on the grill.
We (I am) are dog watching the next few days. The granddog is excluded from the Door County trips as it’s a no pet Condo. He has a radio collar and 2 acres to play and poop in! It has shade and my IPadPro works out there. He can run till he’s content. The daughter hires someone to watch the 3 horses when they are gone as Terry no longer can handle it
Maybe some bench time today
Enjoy your day

Good Friday morning folks. 62°F/61°F here with light rain showers expected later this morning. The heat returns with a near-normal day Saturday with 89°F and then the heat gets turned up Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. They will be issuing heat warnings says the Talking Heads.
Expecting some guitar parts today for a swap, if they actually arrive today and aren't in Omaha, Milwaukee, or Knoxville. I'll run trains a little later this evening while the rain comes down.
Have a great weekend. Servus!

Michael: Are you looking pages in 'Dark Mode'? Logo has a transparent background, hence the darkness ... probably. Current RR colors are to be some shade of Gray with Blue and gold trim/highlights, so the logo *should* show up pretty good. I did find outlines of the type of power railroad uses so I will go from there and adjust things accordingly while playing with the overall paint scheme.
Thanks for the comment though!
@bnsf971 - RR time frame is '68 - '72ish so it sounds like I am good to go on a 'busier' logo.
