Good evening folks
Our weather bouncing continues. Nice warmish temperatures over the weekend and tonight we have a freeze warning. Pennsylvania spring weather is so bipolar.
On my birthday, Friday, I went to the podiatrist to have them look at the blisters on the top of my left foot and the swelling going on in my feet and legs. They dressed the wound, gave me some topical meds and a couple of compression sleeves. On the way home I stopped at the pharmacy to pick up water pills my cardiologist prescribed. The blisters are healing and the swelling is going down. The pain from the surgeries is now very minor. My kids and wife took me out for birthday dinner to end the night.
Saturday, we bumped around the house. Ran the floor/rug cleaner throughout the first floor. Folded some laundry. I am still not allowed to carry any laundry baskets.
Sunday my daughter made Easter dinner without my assistance. Usually, I am in charge of the ham and any heavy lifting. This year I was ordered to relax.
I had a pretty productive three days. I built 19 Accurail and 2 Athearn blue box rolling stock kits. I upgrade the hook and horn couplers on a couple of older Atlas hoppers to Kadee couplers. I still have not ventured down to the basement for any long period of time so my sorting and reorganizing the 40 FT steel boxcars is on hold.
Today was an office day at work. I had a bunch of paperwork to catch up on and getting stuff together for Friday night’s set up of Stage 1 at the Bensalem Interchange.
I hope everybody has a good evening.
