This week was a "Monster!" Monday, I had my left eye cataract removed, - The Awning people came to repair our Awnings that got caught in the Storms everyone has read about and the Dryer repairman came to fix our dryer that went bad. (We Replaced the Dryer today) Also, because of the storms our electricity has gone out twice, the first time for four hours. Because I was supposed to take it easy this week I worked on "back shopped" Mogul and five box cars. Needless to say, I didn't get much done. The Rex Mogul is now in operation, waiting for its rolling stock. So, I'm back to servicing my back shopped equipment which is quite time consuming. It is really neat to work on models again, as you look at your rolling stock in operation you don't notice how much a car needs in service. Clean and check the wheels for proper gauge, coupler heights, replace a missing ladder and grab irons and so on. I also plan to weather each car and possibly do a write up for our new S Scale SIG group showing why I'm in S scale.
Oh yes, our temp around Hershey is in the 90's, supposed to hit 100 tomorrow.(Saturday) But, I'm lucky compared to many who got caught up in this stormy week. "S"incerely, Bill (Fraley)
