Morning all,

Another warm one here, headed to 91 degrees.  

Hopefully the roofers finish today.  

Packing today as we're headed out West to see the two daughters, one in Portland, OR and the other in San Francisco.

Safe and boring travels, Jeff! 

It's yet another bright and dry day, but cooler.  It got down to 36 last night, heading to 66 today.  Warmer for the weekend, maybe touching 80 tomorrow and Sunday.  The heat wave (nearly 20 degrees above normal) will continue until Tuesday.  Maybe some rain when the cold front comes through Wednesday, I hope so. 

Today's focus is on the 2nd story machine shop.  I just painted the furniture, now I need to find my big box of boxes, and also make up stuff to put onto the shelves, etc, so the storage area is fully stocked with parts.

add I put some papers on the desks:

But I can't find my box of little boxes  :P

Good evening from Lancaster, PA. My kid spent the day seeing a possible college, I spent the day around Strasburg, PA.  I didn't ride the train, but I did get some good photos of #90 both at the platform and out on the line.  I also crossed the road to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania: lots of equipment from the era I model there, and a big HO layout featuring the PRR's "Middle Division".  I tried but didn't manage to photograph activity on the real Middle Division. Maybe tomorrow.

Is that the famous Dave Frary "Middle Division" project layout?

Sigh, its been quite a few years since I last visited Stasburg. Maybe next summer when we're in the area. 

Have a great one!
