Title: First Sunday of Spring (3/23) Lounge
Post by: jbvb on March 23, 2025, 08:17:00 AM
I've been up for a while: Fresh bread, cheese, cold cuts, jam & honey on the counter. Pitcher of fresh milk, another of orange juice. Overhead Wire blend in the urn for those who like a little jolt to get going, hot water for tea and hot chocolate.  Fixings for hot breakfast are stocked for those who prefer, but the cook slept late.

The NH seacoast got down to the 20s last night and the wind's blowing. But the sun is bright and 40s are forecast later.  I started a discussion with a vendor which led to taking apart a Rapido coach with "Easy Peasy" battery lighting.  If the vendor has something that will help switch them to track power, that will be nice.  But if they don't, minor re-wiring and a rectifier/current-limiting diode setup (parts on hand) will probably do the job.

James didn't mention it was in the low 60s yesterday, so a 40 degree swing.  If you don't like the weather, wait a minute!  

I'll work on the 4th building in Lamson & Goodnow, should finish assembly today, the roof might take me through tomorrow.

Good afternoon, All!

Low thirties, wind chills still in the twenties, grey blanket on top, rain and snow later on and it just feels cold out there in the northern mitten today.  Thanks to James for getting the kitchen operating and for the hot coffee this morning!

Looks like a good day to go paint roads, fix track and otherwise work on the railroad.  Nice photo, Karl!

Make it a great day, All, and stay safe!
