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

[tompm]

Good afternoon folks

It is a chilly and very windy 51. High will be 55. Keeping an eye on the temperature. There are Freeze Warnings are being posted all around us.

Did some house cleaning chores yesterday. We did make the CVS run which turned into a CVS and Rite Aid run. The wife had her appointment with the back doctor. At the present she is done with him since her knees are more of a problem and can possibly be relived without surgery. The only option left for the back would be surgery if the pain and discomfort become too great. She will be seeing a pain management specialist next week to help with the pain and to coordinate treatments.

I started to check my Con Cor Tropicana reefers last night. I ran into a few unexpected issues related to coupler height. The couplers were too low and the normal solutions did not. I finally had to change the 33 inch wheels to 36 to solve the problem. I may post a thread later describing my trails and tribulations with the one reefer I did last night. I did get to tune up three box cars, two Accurail and a Roundhouse kits. I may try to work on more reefers tonight. In addition to tuning up a bunch I have three Con Cor kits, an Athearn Special Edition Blue Box kit, and a Bachmann RTR reefer to add to the fleet.

I hope everybody has a good day.
