Good Morning All. Cloudy with some fog in the western view and 59°. The drizzly rain from yesterday seems to be over for now, leaving me with 1.6" in the gauge, respectable total. Not much change in the forecast, moderate weather for the next 5 days, cooling off for Thanksgiving, but we still have that 100% chance of heavy thunderstorms starting about dusk Sunday night til about noon on Monday. NWS must be thumping their chests after having gotten the call for rain yesterday correctly.
The weekly grocery trek went OK yesterday, albeit rather slow due to the rainy drive both ways. Had to get gas and an unexpected stop over at Target for toilet paper that my wife forgot to get earlier this week. Of course, she stayed home so I had to get it; it's as far from the front door as you can go without going out the back! At least she emptied the dishwasher for me while I was gone. Took the easy way out for supper by pulling a Ziploc of pulled pork out of the freezer. But I did make homemade Cole slaw in the mid-afternoon to go with it. Had some leftover baked Butternut Squash cubes to complete the meal.
Not sure what's going to happen today, I have no planned tasks...won't have enough laundry until tomorrow! Maybe I'll cook the Prime Rib roast that I bought yesterday. I bought Asparagus and Sweet Potatoes to go with it.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I mostly ran trains again. I also sorted out some details that I found when looking for something else last week. Some of them are white metal castings and some have been partly worked on.
I've actually been scratching my head for months trying to remember where I had stashed those car ramps on the right. I am needing them to complete a backyard mini-scene that I am doing. I also found some working streetlamps that are in need of a home.
They're slightly oversized, so I will need to put them back a bit in the layout. They were given to me by my granddaughter so I will place them somewhere. I'll work on several of these items in the next few weeks to add them where appropriate.
Haircuts - I switched from 4 times a year to 3 times when they jacked up the price.
Troy - You mentioned tariffs yesterday. In the past two months I bought a number of Chinese made engines from ScaleTrains and I was quite surprised that they were only $5 more per engine than the pre-order price that was quoted last February. That was on engines that cost ~$200@.
Todd - You're not alone. I tend to leave tools and supplies near where I was using them and make a clean-up run every few days. Sometimes my wife will pile them in my computer desk chair to prompt me!
Louis - Good luck on getting your taxes done on time. Yes, pay Caesar...but don't get into the habit of overpaying!
Everybody have a fine Friday.
A true-blue fan, I love it!
