Hobby Shops – Toy Trains are very popular so as I build my first toy train I get excited to see how each week it will look . I am excited seeing the front section now roughed in. Todays picture shows me in the shop holding the band saw getting ready to cut some square tubing for more of the mainframe of the train. This is the boring part doing the frame work but still fun knowing in the next week the next section will take shape.
High Wind Warning – WOW was it windy here yesterday and today . I cleaned the yard of leaves and the wind first blew all the neighbors leaves in my yard and then the wind shifted and blew them across the street to the church . It is still very windy so I got the backpack blower out this morning and started in the backyard and worked with the wind and blew all the remaining leaves out to the curb . But each time I had a pile by the curb , I would look and they would be completely gone , ha,ha. Noe hopefully the wind won’t change directions LOL
Cake – Deb made a lemon /pudding , dream whip cake this morning , yummy , there goes my buff figure .
Running ?? I haven’t mentioned much about running or walking for a couple weeks now. Seems I overdid it this summer and my hips are acting up. So I figure i better cool it for a month and then take off slow again. I am just feeling good again this week with no hip pain.
Have a great Wed.
