    Had a bagel this morning with my coffee. The trees around here look dead after the late frost killed most of the buds. Hope the birds can still hide their nests.

    Hello

    Thanks everyone, the trains go east to west mostly, St. Louis to Kansas City. UP and NS freight with Amtrak going both ways. We have a mini yard where the trains go on a siding to let Amtrak go by. Some nights it's so quiet you swear the trains are going by your front door. We love it. :thumb:
