Good afternoon folks

It is a comfortable 44 with a high of 49. What a difference a week makes.

It has been a rough week. Early in the week we had our heater replaced and have been dealing with a bunch of teething issues with it. We also had a section of leaking pipe replaced. Of course now that we a fully functional heater it is getting warmer. Just to make thing even more fun, I have come with cold and have been running a low grade temperature since Wednesday. Today is the best I have felt in a week. Between the heater work and my illness, I did not get any Christmas decorations in from the outside as I had planned.

Also, on Saturday we traveled to the Bridesburg section of Philadelphia to a cat café where we adopted two kittens. As strange as this may sound as a family, we needed a day with a bunch of cats and kittens to lift our spirits. Traveling to the café was somewhat problematic since it was located about half a mile from the plane crash site. We had to deal with extra traffic from the road closures and I suspect ghouls driving to see the scene. I was able to take another route home that avoided the area.

Since the layout is in the basement with the heater replacement, I did not get much model railroading done. I was able to run some trains on Saturday and Sunday.

Tonight I hope to finally get those decorations down. I would like to run some trains and maybe add some more trees and foliage to the layout.

Charlie that is great news about your wife coming home. Prayers for her full recovery.

I hope everybody has a good day.
