Good morning folks

It is a muggy 90. Our high is supposed to be 95.

Yesterday we did not do much. My wife and I ran to the pharmacy. She could not find her epee pen so we had to get a new one immediately. We then went to the grocery store. Later in the evening I decided to test run my new Athearn Western Maryland SD40 with factory installed DCC and sound.
The first locomotive I tried constantly stalled and at times would not run. I tried a factory reset but that did nothing. I began to think something wrong with the track. Then I remembered the second locomotive. I tested the second locomotive, and everything was fine with it. It ran flawlessly. Headlights turned on and the bell and horn worked. I then emailed Athearn and got a response email saying to send the locomotive to them. I packed the locomotive up.

Today, I am at work. There is no construction activity, so I am catching up on paperwork. I probably won’t be here a full day. When I get home, I need to deal with some laundry. Over the weekend I need to make an emergency repair to the herb garden box. Two of the legs are pulling away from the sides. I also need to clean the fishpond filter. I am not sure what else is in the works. I am sure there will be some gardening.

This weekend I hope to work on the bridges area. I have a couple of subway entrances to build. They will be part of the pedestrian access to the bridges area. I hope to run some trains.

I hope everybody has a good day.
