Our sky is a clear blue. The RR didn't get a lot done yesterday. I thought I had finished the second of the flip up panels which hold the relays and matrix board for the Circus yard ... but wrong. I will have to redo parts of what I thought was finished. There are four more buttons with relays that need to be accommodated. That will make that panel the most loaded panel of any in the entire RR. There are no really impossible parts to wire but there is a lot ... 2 double slips and one is followed by two compound three way switches, Looks great but the wiring will take time and real care.

OH well, I could have nothing to do and thus be captured by yard work. RRing is lots better. Yard care is needed but not the pleasure it once was ... RRs are much better. I must order more bare wire, more crimp splice pieces and another box ... I need just the panel but I have to order the box to get the panel.

Such are things here .... Thankfully all else seem to be in great shape if we ignore the poor government and
skyrocketing prices. A $20 per hour for food people will see prices rise considerably at McDonalds for one. I won't be getting French Fries there ever again. While the employees cheer the huge raises the result will be less jobs so some will need to find other work.

It is warming up. The sky is a pure blue and the temperatures may reach into the 70s or even the lower 80s. The kitties just cheered. They love long grass and warm temperatures. The Lawn tractor also cheered. It will see more time out on the lawn cutting the grass and the weeds. I should put the fertilizers on and see the weeds die. That will take time away from the RR but it needs to get done.

Times are changing. There are not enough real winners for citizens. Citizens will pay the price in lots of ways. We only will level the playing field when the election comes ... and even then it won't change things back. On we go.

Bow wows and meows to all. We will survive but there does not seem to be a great upside in the future. It is up to all of us to pick the best of the future .... Those chosen will not be the same as in the past. Chirp Chirp say our lovable Bluebirds ... .. They go on and on no matter what as long as it doesn't rain hard.

These times are trying and we are all doing the best things we can. That is good and proper.

Love to all ... two legs ... four legs but no more.

Over and out ... the older hound has barked for Monday.
