Greetings, gang.
Clear and somewhat cool this morning in the remote reaches of northern Iowa. 37 now going to maybe the mid 60s by this afternoon. Between Wed. night and Saturday I accumulated over 3.5 inches of much needed rain.
The train show was quite a success for me. I managed to score a Lionel veranda style turbine (#71) and a couple of Kadee cars. Also bought one building for the B&S. At the end of the show the vendor gave me three other buildings as he did not want to pack them up. Other than that it was a lot of fun reconnecting with the other club members. On the way home yesterday I stopped at my granddaughter's place for a few minutes and then at a high school friend's for a couple of hours. Overall a very good weekend.
Today I will be paying the price with laundry and cleaning. Also need to have another leaf roundup.
Gas dropped again while I was gone. Down to $3.12 when I got back to town yesterday. Gas was $3.62 in Beatrice over the weekend.
All stay safe.
Tom
