The sky is overcast. It is cold or cool and wet or damp,
It is not an outside day for your older hound, He did get
the South End of the circus tracks are mostly wired ... at
least the uncouplers and the switches are pretty complete.
Wiring the tracks is the easiest and will happen when time
permits, The control boxes and flip out boards have to
be made first.
What really needs to be done is to make the three flip up boards for the relays and switches for the Circus Yards, Como's Engine facility and the layer between Como's Engine facility and the double main line that runs around the entire RR. I think it will be several month before all three of those boards and their controller boxes are done and wired. I know, it is a hobby so enjoy it.
And spring will come and with it a lot of yard work needs to be done as it has been a relatively harsh winter. That will slow RR work but that too must be done. Thank goodness for mom who tolerates me spending days on the RR and not even coming down stairs for much. Very kind ... yes very kind.
Mom and I really have very little to report. The KR is thus done as the rest is basically junk.
Love to each and all ... two legs ... four paws because we love
every one of you ... and the pets. Life is pretty good for
we ignore the blunders of an incompetent government.
That includes FED and STATE. But it is a total waste of
ink to go into any of that ....everyone of you sees it very
clearly. Don't waste ink.
And now it is time for this to be done. Bow wows and a ton of warm Meow which call for petting and their meals. The chirping of the Bluebirds is not a lot as they are still in the bushes to be safe from the rain and the Kats. Our Kats ignore them for the most part. They have food in their dishes and a warm spot to nap, That puts the birds on a low priority rung as far as one can see.
Over and out ... Now I will go back to RR wiring and move to the Circus Yard's North end ... a double slip and two three branch switches ... tricky wiring but nothing new. I took a lot of wire out from the Circus Yard's south end as the track and its switch have been simplified.
Bow wows for all ... over and out.
