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

[tompm]

Good afternoon folks

It is another nice one. Temperature is 70 going up to 73. Rain is expected the next two days and then a cool down.

Just got in from putting the netting over the fishpond and putting in the heater. I am going to be sore later tonight. The heater does not heat the pond. It is meant to keep a hole in any ice so the fish can breathe. We lost power two winters ago and the pond froze over completely. We didn’t realize the heater we had at the time got fried in a power surge. As a result, we lost all the fish.

I weathered three Atlas boxcars last night. I need to seal them. I even got to run some trains. My next group of cars to weather are going to be open hoppers. I prepped four of them for weathering.

I plan to weather the last of the ready to run boxcars tonight.

I hope everybody has a good day.
