    Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] - Part VII

    Good morning. It's 55 and clear heading for a high in the upper 70's. It will be partly cloudy. Did quite a bit of work outside yesterday and old Murphy was in good form. My father and I were cleaning up pine straw and debris from the lower part of his property during the later part of the...

    Good morning. It's 44° and clear. The high should be around 70° and it will be partly cloudy. Made my trip to DeRidder yesterday to turn in my defective shoe for repair. It'll be ready in a week. I also dropped in on the Wal-Mart there and picked up several of the 1/87 Hot Wheels cars as they...

Didn't get a chance to work on the observation car yesterday or any other layout project for that matter. I had to go to the tire shop in town to...

    Good morning. It's 33° and clear. The high is expected to be around 60 and it will be partly cloudy. I was planning on going to town yesterday but discovered my car had a flat tire. I removed it and looked for a hole. No dice. Even after inflating it I couldn't find a hole. I'm going to take...

    Good morning. It's 30° and sunny. The high will be around 50 and it will be partly cloudy. Didn't get much done on the layout yesterday. I was out looking for a tool to remove the spindles in the bathroom faucets without much success. The local hardware store is ordering a few sets of them...

    Good morning. It's 69, cloudy and windy. The high today will be around 60 and there's a chance of rain. Got some work done on the observation car yesterday. I thought about what to use to cover the windows besides aluminum foil without it looking tacky when the answer was staring me in the...

    Thanks for the compliment on the photo. I can feel your pain about the sprinkler valve. I've helped my father replace a few. They can be a royal pain in the backside if they've been in place a long time.

    Good morning. It's 70 and quite cloudy. The high will be about 80 and it will be mostly cloudy with a chance of rain. Went to see the foot doc yesterday early in the am and got a good report. The wounds are healing, slowly, but they're healing. In other news, the guy who dug the ditches for my...

    Good morning. It's a pleasant 61 here and most cloudy. The high will be around 77 and it will be partly cloudy. A lake wind advisory is in affect for this afternoon. White caps were rolling on the lake yesterday and some nut was out there trying to get some fishing done. He finally gave up...
