Good morning folks
It is currently a chilly 53 going up to 61. We had a frost advisory last night so I had to cover the plants. Still no rain, however there is a chance next Tuesday. This will mean we went the entire month of October without any measurable rain.
The weekend in a nutshell:
Friday. Once I got home from work I added stress coat to the fish pond in preparation for adding water. Due to the fact we have had no rain in the Philadelphia area in all of October the water level was down about 10 inches. I continued on my rolling stock kit building rampage as I completed 5 kits.
Saturday. We ran errands to the post office and grocery store. I took care of some laundry and did some cleaning. I did some organizing of the storage for some of my rolling stock. I built another 4 kits.
Sunday. We didn’t do much. I added water to the fishpond and did some more laundry. I took a couple of things back to the Amazon return desk in Kohl’s. I tested a couple of new locomotives I recently got off eBay. I only built two kits. If I can, I will post pictures of the kits. Since I ran out of metal wheels, I temporarily had to use the plastic wheels on some cars.
Tonight I have some laundry to deal with. If the metal wheels arrive I will change out the temporary plastic wheels on the rolling stock I just finished. I may build another kit or two and/or run some trains.
I hope everybody has a good day.
