No smoke is good. 

If things work after that.....  So much the better.

You are having a ball John!  Very impressive work on the electronics.  Mighty fine work. Mighty fine.  I do not know what else to say.  Great layout!

I'm very happy with the DCC installation and it's time to take a few days off from the layout and get a few things off my to-do-list. This past winter was real hard on the outside stuff and I need to make some minor repairs to the house.

I think I'm going to finish the fascia painting and install a hard wood floor in the train room as my next project when I get back to the layout. Then it will be finish the track work time!

Good point! That's when the color of the smoke means something.

Ain't home ownership a demandin' diversion?
I wish I could buy note paper on a roll for all my to-do-lists!

Oh, yeah - I tried that, but when I spilled my drink on them, my do-do-list (err, to-do-list) went away!  ;D ;D ;D

I keep my to- do list on my phone - great way of remembering things for those of us that can't remember s**t.  It really works well when I go to the store. The only problem is when I can't find my phone!

I don't keep a to do list.  Too depressing.

I saw a thing once that said......  "God gives each guy so many things to do in his life. As far behind as I am I'll live forever."

I started the week with 40 items on my to-do-list.  As of tonight I'm down to 27 and tired of my to-do-list. Time to spend some time on the layout!

I spent most of the day yesterday running trains and evaluating the track work on the layout. I found three areas where I need to do some work before we can start adding ballast to the track. In all three cases I tried to make straight turnouts work where the geometry really was calling for curved turnouts. The order for new curved turnouts was made and the adjustments to the budget was made. The price of track has gone through the roof!
