Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 6

[elwoodblues]

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick, I think RB finally figured things out. 😊  The "Great American/British/Canadian Baking Show is one show that I actually have watched.

Larry, hope you make it to the bench.  You know that leaf mulching is a never ending battle. 
 
Mike, enjoy breakfast with Sharon.

Curt, thanks for the "Happy Thanksgiving", Good news is, I get it off this year, it's one of the perks of not traveling for work anymore.  Hope you feel better soon.

Dave, I'm hoping that visits to the body shop is not a regular occurrence.  Sounds like you made great progress on the layout yesterday.

TomO, even though there was a change of plans, sounds like the trip was a great success.

James, hope you get the rest of the storm windows installed today.

Current weather here is 13c (55f) and cloudy with a 70% chance of rain this afternoon.  Yesterday was enlightening.  I finished cleaning off the layout, put some buildings back in place repaired another switch machine and hot glue the clothes pegs to the inside of the benchwork to hang the skirting.  Did you know that hot glue is really hot!    I ran out of clothes pegs so, I ordered more and they should be here later today.  I can then finish gluing the clothes pegs, not my fingers, and finish hanging the skirting.  

I also finally turned on the power to the layout and was greeted with a bunch of steam sounds.   I tried running a locomotive, but it traveled down the track like a drunken sailor.   Looks like I need to clean the track, although I would have been shocked if I didn't need to clean track.  I just wanted to see if trains would run on the layout again.

Have a great day everyone.

'Drunken sailor" sure beats "dead on arrival" or "beeping circuit breaker"!

I agree Terry. I think sailors are being maligned.

 Afternoon

Late today to much running around.
Izzy had a Vet appointment annual checkup.
Then a quick stop at the grocery store.

To top that off the tire pressure light is on and won't go off.
Even thought the tire pressure is right.
Keeps blinking.

So maybe I'll get to sit at the bench now maybe not!!

Everyone have a great day!!

We hit 80 today with sun. I went to Ops and came home early. Took a nap. Been tiring early lately and needed a nap. The Gladiator hit 100K on the way home.

It's good you stayed within the speed limit when you took that photo.
