The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

Today I changed out the couplers on one of the GP7's. They were both bent/twisted when the tree hit my trailer. Getting old Kadee #5's off was easy. Putting the new Kadee #118's, that was a bit harder. Nothing to do with the couplers at all. It's was the confounding small screws Bachmann uses. With their small size and next to no feeling in my hands a ten minute job took almost forty-five minutes. But I finally got it done. Want to know what a fun thought I had was? I have two new Bachmann geeps on the way here. A GP7 and a GP9, and they'll both need Kadee couplers. Oh joy.

Well there was some outdoors work done today. David and I got some work done on the inside of the wall. Rather he did most of it. I held the outer wall back and handed him tools and hardware. He put in a few metal braces that are anchored to the studs and the inside wall. It took longer than I thought it would but it would've taken much longer if I was doing it. No roof work yet. the weather started turning nasty so we had to call it a day.

Speaking of the weather it's still nasty as I's typing this. I can hear the rain pouring down on the roof. Good news is I haven't spotted any leaks. But the nights young.

No computer news today. It's there sitting idle and that's all I'll say about that.

Well I can hear another nasty thunder boomer coming from the west so it's time I call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
