Good morning folks
It is 44 and misting at the moment. It was raining most of the morning. High is supposed to be 46.
Friday, I had to deal with a slow leak in one of the front tires of my car. I ad to put air it several times during the day to make it through work and the trip home. At home we put up some more Christmas decorations. For some reason we are running late this year. I built a couple of Accurail Pacific Electric wood boxcars.
Saturday, my wife and daughter went Christmas shopping. I ran some errands to the pharmacy and Kohl’s to drop off some returns. I did not get them all done as my wife accidently printed out the wrong codes for a couple of them. We put up some more decorations. I worked on adding renumbering decals to four Accurail wood boxcars. The decals were giving me trouble with melting into the board lines. I had to reapply the setting solution numerous times. One car was so bad I had to remove the decals I had put on.
Sunday, I dropped the car off at Pep Boys to get the tire fixed. The appointment was for noon, but the car was the last one finished at 6:30 PM. We took the dog to PetSmart to get pictures with Santa. After I picked up the car I made a grocery store run. I continued working on the decals. Two cars are done. They are not perfect, but I can lie with them and hopefully cover up any imperfections with weathering. The other two cars I need to do the other side of the cars.
This morning I get in the car to find the tire pressure dropped 12 pounds overnight. I had to add air just a half an hour ago since the pressure fell to 16 pounds. We are back up at 35. We will see how long it lasts. I already called Pep Boys and they know I am coming in this afternoon. Depending on how the tire drama goes will determine what I get done this evening.
I hope everybody has a good day.
