Coffee's ready! Eggs, grits and sausage along with a hot batch of Grandma Sweeter's Deep South Georgia biscuits and freshly churned butter. Cold drinks and fruit available as well.
Little to report here, winter is coming today, it's 40 or so and dropping with very high wind 40-50 per in the guesstimate from the W side weather outlet.
Other than a Vet's visit for the million dollar cat at 11:30 I have little planned. We're not traveling beyond the area with 2 Thanksgiving meals, bull headed daughter tomorrow and the other daughter Saturday canceling my OPS plans. Damn, but families are a joy... :( Weather is the highlight of the weekend.
Everyone enjoy the day, thank you all for your great modeling and conversation thruout the year. Travel safe.

Morning all,
We were hoping the siding project would be completed today, but with early rains the last two days and todays extremely windy (and cold, it's 32 now) weather, I doubt that will happen. I really wanted to be able to use the garage before the snow starts.
Need to work on some F units today. On one pair, the A unit has momentum, but the B doesn't. I'm not sure how that happened, as they were originally matched. Another A-B-A set needs speed matching.

Lots of hokus-pokus in that dcc stuff, Jeff, just don't let out the smokus! :o
Good morning, Karl, Jeff and later arrivals. Seacoast NH is in the 50s with occasional drizzle. Rain forecast tonight, then sunny through Saturday. I'm a bit sore from walking 4.7 miles at Seashore yesterday while climbing on and off work equipment and our GE 25-tonner. But enough end-of-season cleanup was accomplished and the director closed the bunkhouse a second winter for more renovations. Doubtful I'll make the drive again before March.
Doing paperwork now, just reminded my wife about the 10 AM shopping sweet spot. Soon I'll have finished with computers and gone up to the layout. Got one thing off my workbench Monday, several more projects await.
Morning all,
Just got back from breakfast with friends. A little goofing off time and then some workbench time this afternoon. No travel plans for us. We'll just have a quiet Thanksgiving Day at home.
A picture I took just for future reference when detailing track.

Have a great one!
Bob, distant track is likely "coupled too hard to a covered hopper with unloading gates left open". Closer is likely drips off the bottom and fill pipe area of a locomotive's overfilled diesel tank. When I was much younger, the oil drip trail could have meant "poorly maintained Budd RDCs use this track".
