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

Good morning folks

It is 27 currently with an expected high of 43. Looks like we are back to normal on the project site after a week of being shut down due to the cold and wind, along with a lack of certain materials.

Charlie, good to hear your wife is progressing. Prayers for continuing progression.

We did not get as much done as we had planned this weekend. We started on the inside Christmas decorations but did get as far as we hoped. The wife’s bunion was acting up which limited her mobility somewhat. On Saturday we ran our errands to the post office, produce store, and grocery store. It was after walking around the produce store that her foot started bothering her so she sat out the grocery store. We found out that the high wind last week destroyed one of our outside Christmas decorations. It was a 6 foot lighted metal tree. The wind snapped it off its base. Since the lights had given me issues this year, I figured this might be its last year any way. It was at least 7 or 8 years old.

I did not get as much done with the trains either. I did run some trains and tune up some rolling stock. The big thing I did was organize and enter into my inventory program a bunch of passenger cars that have been sitting around for months. My order of more metal wheels and Kadee couplers arrived so I can get back to building Accurail kits. I also have at four Accurail cars that need some sort of repair such as adding back a brake wheel or a stirrup.

Tonight we will be putting more decorations away. I hope to continue tuning up some rolling stock and perhaps build a kit or two and repair the kits that need it.

I hope everybody has a good day.
