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

[ezdays]

Good morning everyone. The holidays are winding down, for some they're already gone, for others, they may stretch them out through the weekend. We were going to take down the Christmas decorations yesterday, but it's cold outside and I think we both have a touch of something so we just kicked back for another day. It's still cold out, the Weather Channel says that it's 31 outside, my thermometer says 34, and Phoenix clocks in at 35. Our record low stands at 24 back in 1971, but for Phoenix, that shows as 23 back in 1950. Record highs show as in the 80's for both Phoenix and Surprise, but in vastly different years. The difference comes from the fact that they record the temps for Phoenix at the airport and for Surprise, somewhere about a mile or two north of us. Also, Phoenix has been around a lot longer than Surprise and so they have a lot longer time to keep records.

Enough about history and the weather. I am working on building the legs for my new layout, but have only been able to do it in short spurts of time. Maybe I can have them finished and mounted by the end of this weekend. I also have to build a new workbench since my old one went to the landfill along with my layout. Maybe this aborted house move is a blessing of sorts, I have a chance to correct all that I didn't like with the old trainroom and layout.
