Good evening folks
We had a somewhat productive weekend. Saturday, we planted a bunch of plants my wife got for Mothers’ Day. My son took her to a local cemetery that has a greenhouse where they sell plants. He paid for them as her Mothers’ Day gift. I also moved an azalea bush from one garden to another and hope it will do better in its new location. Sunday, we had to drop a package off at UPS Store and then a couple of Amazon returns at Kohls. Then we went to the Upper Darby Greek Festival. Great food and my wife found a few trinkets to buy. We brought home a boatload of goodies.
Since the weather was nice, I decided to gloss coat a bunch of Accurail rolling stock I need to renumber. To my surprise I found I had already renumbered a bunch of cars over the winter but had not sealed them due to the cold weather. I dull coated 15 cars. I did gloss coat a couple of cars. Next step renumbering. I was able to run some trains.
Work today with the heat was brutal. Weather app says the high was 92. My car thermometer said 98. All I know it was hot. Tomorrow will be more of the same. IF the rain stays away, I will be working Wednesday night switching traffic patterns at the Norristown Interchange. If it rains, we can’t work since we can’t paint pavement markings on wet pavement.
I hope everybody has a good evening.
