Good morning folks

It is 66 on its way to 79.

The surgery countdown is down to two days. I go in on Thursday. Hopefully my blood pressure won’t spike, and we can do the procedure.

The weekend and holiday were uneventful. Saturday My wife and daughter worked on some of the prizes for the upcoming Delco Pride Parade on Saturday. My son is the organizer and was out talking with the participating businesses making sure everything is ready. The business community in Media is excited about the after event which is called Pride on State (Street) where businesses host various events from after the parade until late at night.

While they were out I did the grocery shopping, and the produce store. I was able to swing a visit to the local hobby shop where to my surprise I found a Bowser DCC ready Penn Central U25B that I have been searching for over the last few months. To my even bigger surprise the price was good considering this LHS is not known for reducing prices. Most items are close to MSRP. Later in the evening I worked on the bridge area. I tacked down the foam base and weathered the tunnel portal. I also cut the retaining walls to fit.

Sunday my wife and I went to PetSmart and to the nursery to get some plants. My daughter helped her plant most of them when we got home. I was busy in the house dealing with laundry and working on cleaning the fishless fishtank. Later I painted the retaining walls and finally figured out how I was going to deal with pedestrian access to the bridge area. This meant ordering some items. I ran some trans too.

Yesterday I put the flags out in the morning. We did not do much. We took it easy. I did do some laundry and work some more on the fishtank. We were lucky as far as the storms went. We got one in the morning and then another in the early afternoon. My daughter handled the grilling later in the afternoon. Given how good of a cook she is I let her do her thing and was treated to some delicious grilled corn on the cob, baked potato, and burgers. She also made homemade from scratch cinnamon rolls for dessert. After dinner I started to put away the rolling stock I had out for the latest train I ran.

Tonight after work I will be dealing with the never-ending laundry saga. I may try to plant some marigolds in the front garden. Later I will weather the retaining walls and finish putting away the rolling stock. If time permits I may start my next train.


I hope everybody has a good day.
