Morning all,

Sunny and headed to 76 later.  Not sure about a walk today, we'll see.

All the trains have been cleaned.  My grandson once noted that the trains were "dusty", so I use an airbrush to blast the dust off and a vacuum to clear the dust before he arrives.  They were actually quite clean.  I have vacuumed the West Yard and will clean the tracks today.  Then I need to return the twelve trains that are all over the layout to the yard and clean the rest of the layout track.  I have a "cleaning train" which I run over it several times to do this.

What we do for our grandchildren makes the sacrifices we made for our kids look insignificant.

Morning all.....

Good afternoon!  I'm back from PT, heading for my cataract 1 week follow-up checkup this afternoon.  Yesterday I got a new pair of glasses to try, these are 'half-lens' readers.  I think they'll work pretty well for normal use, but I'll still use full-lens readers at night, and will go for bifocal hobby glasses once the eyes are stable.  I tried +3.00 readers for close work, and they work very well for me.  Of course, with those on, I can't see more than 2' away...

Late evening everyone, 

Still in Europe cruising the Mainz river. Having a great time. We'll fly home Saturday after our last stop in Nuremberg. 

Have a great one!

Continued safe travels, Bob!  Drink a wheat beer for me.
