Cool season starts early
It seems like the cool season is getting an early start this year. Overnight temperatures may drop to the upper teens next week. Just for a couple of days. Shortly feels like temperatures will be identical to real temperatures (less humidity). Weather patterns are beginning to change, with most of our weather coming from the northeast. Keep in mind short term forecasts tend to be more accurate than long range . Long range forecasts are scientific guesses based on existing models. |

I been working on my Railroad
A few more days on the jig saw to bridge the last track to the main station (green area).
Foam has been great as temporary supports in designing the layout. After the track is laid I'll have to do some serious landscaping. Still contemplating if the center of the table should become a valley or mountainous.

Russian Interference OH PLEEZE give me a break, it's called PSY OPS; propaganda, they all do it
Before the internet, there was radioWorld War II Propaganda Broadcasters Besides radio, leaflets were dropped during the Vietnam War In one incident the US printed leaflets which encouraged Vietnamese to participate in an election (1966). A reporter stumbled upon the leaflets and pointed out that the US was not to interfere with this election in any form. The reporters ultimatum burn em or be part of the evening news. We unloaded truckloads of leaflets, dug a huge pit, had a huge bonfire. These days propaganda is on the net. Media sites need to become more proactive in identifying the source, before accepting advertising money |

Get a hobby or two
Much of the woodwork is done, some painting is next. Still not convinced what railing to use. Considering laminate. Then I'm also thinking of plastic sheeting on which I can print metal railing. Sharp curves can be mastered by leaning the track so the train leans in the opposite direction of the possible fall. |
