Good Morning All. Clear here and 75°. Raining nearby which wasn't in the forecast, and it may actually drift over to here. Probably not though. I should go out and lower all of the car windows to tempt it. It didn't get near as warm yesterday as predicted and today it may reach 99°. Triple digits return tomorrow for probably another week before easing off.
Cool enough yesterday for a lot of outdoor activities. Too dry and dusty to run the mower/bagger over the fallen leaves, so I raked a few large piles for adding to the compost pile. Party yesterday afternoon at Bubba's house next door (1/4 mile west), so a lot of traffic on the road. At least his friends drive slowly which keeps the dust down. The bizarre neighbor who spent seven years incarcerated for shooting at a different neighbor's parked motor home that he thought contained spy equipment directed at him, installed two new surveillance cameras directly aimed at Bubba's backyard. Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. So Bubba and friends stand in direct view and pee in his yard. I believe that eventually the cameras will become target practice from out of view. They're mounted on poles that extend about 3' above the house. It's all about the restraining order that Bubba has against him for spying (and making lascivious remarks) on his daughter; who has since moved out.
Train shed time yesterday was spent just running trains while I eyeballed potential new projects. I could just look at my list though.
How about some loaded flat car pictures from the archives today?
That last one needs weathering still. These are all on "run-thru" trains as I have no facility to unload, yet!

Eric, that's what did my younger brother in. Started with a sore throat that never went away and four years later when he could no longer swallow, he finally went to a doctor. Inoperable stage 4 throat tumor.
Curt - The Woodland Scenics barbed wire fencing has been a game changer for me. For years I tediously drilled tiny holes in painted toothpick pieces and strung thin wire through them. Now it's just drill holes for the posts and go.
Meanwhile, the rain south of here disappeared, although it was on the radar for over two hours.
Everyone have a great Sunday and keep the grills and smokers going.
