Greetings, gang.
Cloudy, cool, and breezy in the remote reaches of northern Iowa this morning. Right now it's 41 with 20 mph winds gusting to 30. Had 40 mph winds overnight and more predicted for today. High is supposed to be in the mid 50s.
Got home late yesterday afternoon thoroughly whupped. After the train show it took us 5 hours Sunday evening to tear down and clean up. Successful show though. Had over 300 door prize tickets given out. Had my eye on a couple of engines but they sold on Saturday. Saved myself a couple hundred - or so I thought. Went back to buddies house Saturday evening and ordered a $200 engine on line.
During clean up Sunday evening my tennis shoes died. The soles came loos from the uppers. Not surprising as they were 17 years old. The sad part is that they were special Nebraska Husker shoes that my wife had bought for me and were only worn on special occasions.
Today is going to be a day of rest with maybe some laundry but not much else.
All stay safe.
Tom
