Morning all,

Headed to 83 today.  A bit chilly downstairs as I left the window open overnight.   ::)  At least the stink from the spray adhesive is gone.  

With the walks and the up and down off the stool or step ladder over the last few days my legs are kinda sore.  Only another 11 feet of backdrop to put up, we'll see if it gets done today.  

I have a meeting with a "Big Boy" in a couple of hours.  UP 4014 is presently in the Cedar Rapids railyard, heading east this morning.  I'm not much of a railfan, but I will certainly go see it roll by. 

Jeff

Sunny and dry in Michigan, mid 50s going to nearly 80 with "Near Perfect" stated by the area weather guy.

Love to see the Big Boy but am not near it's intended route.   :'(

Rx to fetch and other things to be determined today.

Morning all,

A little workbench time today. I'm watching Gettysburg while the paint and glue dry.  :D

Did someone mention the Big Boy?

Bob Gettysburg is an excellent movie.

The fun thing in "Gettysburg" is looking for anomalies.  Airplane contrails, telephone poles, female reenactors :-)   But there's absolutely no substitute for actually walking the ground.
