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

Greetings, gang.

81 with 88% humidity this morning in the remote reaches of northern Iowa. Headed to the upper 90s again. I could have another day with a heat index near 120. Yesterday around 6 PM the heat index hit 119. No relief in sight until maybe Thursday evening.

With the excessive heat there's not been a lot of outdoor activity and it will probably stay that way til the weekend. I may go to the gym later but that requires ambition and I'm not finding any around the house.

Gas is down to $3.59.

All stay safe.

Good morning.

     My friend Arthur is visiting and has been for several days. He is wearing out his welcome. The cortisone shots didn't help this time and I don't want to have another surgery so for the time being I will grin and bare it. It's both shoulders now. 

     I worked on trains until the wee hours this AM. I put a sound decoder and current keeper in a PRR BP20 passenger shark. It appears to be working fine. I'll post a video later today.  I need to put a rear couple on it before it can be placed in service.  I have one more to do. It will be the freight version. 

     I bought some cheap solar lights with motion detection and I will put a few of them up today. 

     Hoping to get more train time with the rain coming today.

    Ya'll have a great week ahead.

I went yesterday to the steam-up at Antique Powerland in Brooks.
The technology that transformed America.
It was awesome!

Enjoy your railroad.
Hope your day is going great.
