Good Morning Everyone;

Coffee is on but if you want breakfast you need to check into Geezers to see what is happening. We have a gray muggy Tuesday to start day off in central Florida, kinda unusual for this time of year. I hear there is something brewing off the coast but frankly even the weather channel has gone into the 'everything is a crisis' mode of news reporting so who knows. Yesterday I made some more progress on the engine house and today hope to get some electric work on it done but we will be up to the great lakes tomorrow so not sure how much will get done today,

Hope everyone has a great day.

Jim

Good morning.  Tidewater Virginia is going to be in the 90's with rain and humidity.  A good day to stay indoors. 

I did some cutting with my Cricut last night and everything looks good.  Now to start working with the pieces.

That's a great picture, Jim.

Afternoon all.....

Warm, smoke and haze with 25mph winds keeping the 85% humidity at bay here beside the big lake today.  Celebrating quietly my 77th trip around the sun. 75⁰ feel terrific out on the deck..

We'll be cooking a steak and some hashbrown potatoes after a bit.  There is also a cake involved.

 Little else here to report.

KS well aged on the beach.

Good evening, all. Jim, the Boston paper says the storm now over Lake City & Perry will move slowly west the rest of the week, leaving 6-12" of rain on unlucky parts of the Gulf Coast.  Best of luck to all in the track - I've got more of a connection to Mobile and New Orleans than Tallahassee but I did attend a conference there in the late '80s.

Another day at the Trolley Museum, mostly inside putting repaired parts on/under our 1970s Portec HTC switch tamper. That means the tamping heads move from side to side so they can compact the ballast under most of the timbers of a switch.  High 80s and damp but within range of the sea breeze.  No modeling today, maybe tomorrow if I get started before the heat of the day.
