Morning all,

Woke to the sirens blaring.  A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect.  Looks like it will be here within half an hour, though there is some thunder and rain already.  

The trains have been returned to the yard and the tracks are cleaned.  A set of F units sound is not working correctly, some motor sounds, no horn/bell.  Otherwise no real problems.  

Will get the rest of the basement vacuumed/dusted today.  

Jeff

Severe Weather with heavy rain, wind, hail and all the associated condiments make for a potentially nasty day. Some chance of those spinning things, as well.

Both dogs (at different times) woke me up in the middle of the night for 'emergency walkies'.  I'm just thankful they didn't do that the previous night, when I still had that eye shield over one eye and would have difficulty carrying them downstairs and outside.  

Our monthly lunch group today, so not much modeling.  But I will do some more work when I get home on lighting over the farm area.

You guys in Tornado country be safe!

Good morning, all.  It's a beautiful day in the lower Merrimack Valley: sunny with a high of 80F later.  I'm facing a day of chores, most put off in favor of the switch rebuild at Seashore.  If I get any modeling done, I'll post it.
