Kevin, I am realy enjoying your pictures and descriptions of your latest project. It is good to see someone share their work. I did very little Saturday except watch 2 soccer games that ended in ties. Wife and I did go out to Wings and Rings after Mass. That was nice. Today it was a “nnnneeeeeeewwwww tttrack record” as I did 13.1 miles in 3:14:52 for a 4.03 MPH average!!! I am not sure I will be able to do that on day of the Mini, but I at least did it once. I did the first 12 miles with at least a 10 second jog every lap and then I walked the mile at a fast enough pace to make the mark I was aiming for. I talked to my “teammate” from last fall and she will be on my team this summer. That made my day as well. As AJ would say, “All in all, it was a pretty good day.” I hope everyone has a good day.
Rained all day and cooler tomorrow with high 70’s.
Finally feeling better today. Reconfigured part of the home network to add a 4 port switch and an older backup printer for my wife. Good thing as her primary printer ran out of toner soon after. More toner was on order and arrives tomorrow.
Happy Monday boys. Cloudy and 42 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Oil change for the Durango today. Wifey visiting oldest princess and grandson. Youngest Princess and I spent afternoon up at my folks’ place, and did a little fishing. I managed to bring in a 2 pound largemouth. My mom fried us steak and mushrooms, and it all tasted great. Spoke with Fifepup last night, and he has moved closer to work at Lake Murray. He sounded good.
Morning all. 52 degrees and partly cloudy. Chance of storms this evening. Chief’s visitation this afternoon. Will be first time I’ve seen widow and daughters as they have requested privacy.
Supposed to go to 85 degrees today, maybe more. Friday it is supposed to cool off several degrees and maybe some rain.
Have not done much in the train room lately. Installed a shelf in the hallway the other day. Waiting for somebody to help me install the drop down sheet of plywood for my H.O. layout in the computor room. If the sheet of plywood is put up I can do the rest as it will be a fold-down layout.
Still chugging along on the 15 hour days, its a chore but untill I find something better, it will do.
Seems like people are dying all over the place one of my friends Dad passed (94), one of my Mom and Dads friend (59!!!) and my best friends Mom
died on Saturday. If we had connected, she would have been my mother in law, she was such a sweetheart. Just hit 90 a couple of months ago.
I’ll be off to the viewing and the funeral Thursday and Friday.
I was playing with my FasTrack and got my interchange track set up, it’s going to be on the main straight up front as this alone is over 7’ with
O-48 outer curves and O-36 inner, 2 main lines with a switched Y for 2 storage tracks, which I’ll have to modify now that I have to put the interchange on the
front of the layout. YES!! I’m getting antsy…need more time to insulate and wallboard then get the plywood and foam. I already have the
2X4s and 2X6’s in the storage shed.
The main part with the switches will be all Fastrack and the other parts will be Atlas O since I have a lot of both. I wish I could do ALL Atlas, but I have so much money tired up in Fastrack, I can’t justify selling it to switch over (pun intended).
The house got a major spring cleaning yesterday threw open the windows, mopped and vacuumed, my room is getting closer to be habitable.
My cat was extremely excited that I was “home” all day…just need to get used to the bed I bought. The mattress was free, but…
No rest for the wicked LOL. Got caught up at work, did 3 miles on my noon walkabout, came home and mowed more of the yard. Did not do all the acreage as it is not all up yet, but got the high spots that needed attention. Hopefully tomorrow I can rest a little at both work and home. MR came today. I hope everyone has a good day.
Hmmmm…first one up today! Sunny and will get to 85 today. Possible showers and cooler tomorrow.
Spent a lot of time yesterday and day before fighting issues with my old vs new YouTube account all rooted in Google takeover issues of YouTube and my .ieee email account. Thanks Google (not). Wanted to post some video of the trainfest Sat. No dice so far.
Sunny and 77 degrees. Getting ready to attend Chief’s funeral. Big crowd expected. Being announced on all TV channels. Big crowd last night for visitation.
Very long day at work. Huge load of cases came in today along with other issues. Dennis, congrats on 74! Chief, thoughts are with you and your community. Way overdid it Monday and paid for it today. At least Izombie is on tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
