Good morning folks
What a surprise when I stepped out this morning into the chilly air. Current temperature is 60 with a high of 71.
Yesterday was a rough day. I did not sleep well due to my back bothering me and that continued most of the day. Therefore, nothing got done at home or on the layout yesterday.
t was a semi productive weekend around the house. Saturday, I fixed and reset the fountain in the front yard garden. It fell over the other day when my wife was filling it. Some Hosta had gotten under the base and pushed it up and all it needed was a little push and over it went. I had to remove the Hosta around the area and I placed some bricks which made it easier to level the fountain. Afterwards we ran to Kohl's to drop off Amazon returns. We then moseyed our way over to our favorite bakery for some goodies to celebrate my wife reaching her weight loss goal and over all weight loss of 117 pounds. Unfortunately, I never made it to the basement and the layout.
Sunday I reattached the light fixture in the basement over the washer and dryer. It had fallen off the box when I was trying to change the bulb. The bulb was fine, and the flickering was from the screws that held the fixture in place were loose. We went to Michael's and the grocery store later in the afternoon. I installed a gate at the bottom of the steps to stop the dog from sneaking upstairs when we don’t want her to do so. I finally made it downstairs and ran some trains. I had to make adjustments to a couple of cars that were derailing or uncoupling.
Today I have an appointment with the urologist. I need to discuss some side effects from the hernia surgery with him. I need to begin packing for our excursion to Cumberland, MD this weekend. We are going to take the dinner train on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad on Saturday.
I hope everybody has a good day.
