Good morning folks

It is 32 currently and heading up to 36. There is little to no wind which makes this feel almost tropical compared to the last few days.

This has been a rough week. On Tuesday we lost one of cats. He was 8 years old and in perfect health. One minute he was bouncing around playing, the next he couldn’t stand on his hind legs. The vet called what happened, thrombosis which was a large blood clot that cut off circulation to his hind legs. We had to let him go. This has been extremely hard on the family since it came t of nowhere. My daughter who was his adopted human is taking it very hard. We are keeping an eye on his brother to make sure nothing happens to him.

Just to make things even more fun our heater developed a leak in one of the pipes. We have a steam system and are having difficulty finding someone to work on it. I have been nursing the system along and have tried to find a temporary plugging of the leak until I can get someone to look at it and fix it.

For the weekend I will be nursing the heater and trying to finish taking down and putting away the Christmas decorations. I will be keeping a close eye on the cat who lost his brother to make sure he stays healthy. I need to make a run to PetSmart, the pharmacy, and the grocery store at some point.

Since I will be in the basement numerous times dealing with the heater I should be able to straightening up the layout and organize some rolling stock. I should be able to run some trains. I may even get a chance to build a kit or two.

I hope everybody has a good day.
