Greetings, gang.
It's a cloudy, rainy, and cool morning in the remote reaches of northern Iowa this morning. The rain has just about stopped after about and inch. Later today it's supposed to clear off and hit close to 90.
RB - good luck on your surgery and prayers for a speedy recovery.
It's been an up and down week for us. We had our regularly scheduled doctor appointment on Tuesday, during which the doctor told us he was stopping the current drug for my wife since it was having no effect. We went back on Wednesday for a different drug. The doctor told us that the drug needed to be approved by the insurance company but since it was "very, very expensive" it had to be approved by some board. We have an appointment for this coming Monday morning. Now, when a doctor says it's "very, very expensive" I don't think I even want to know what the price will be.
In other matters, we had a hail storm recently. The check for the cars has been cashed and we are in the process of getting bids for replacing the roof. Prices range anywhere from $4000 to $10,000. We're waiting for one more quote but I think I have already made my decision.
Nothing much happening in the train room or on the Backyard and Southern. Just not enough time or energy left at the end of the day. Also this is the first year I've missed the annual train show put on for the Beatrice Area Railroad Enthusiasts since 2006.
Sorry to take so much of your time but I just wanted to get everyone caught up.
Tom
