Day 90

Three months out.

I'm really trying to get the coal yard model that I've been working on forever done.  I'm down to the last few pieces.  I've decided to mount all of the pieces on a piece of styrene.  I'll paint the styrene and later on put coal ballast on it.  Only I didn't have any styrene.  So after we went to the post office I went to Hobby Lobby to get some.  They no longer carry any of that sort of stuff.  So it was on to the hobby store on Slaughter.  They had some.

After that we went to HEB to do some very needed grocery shopping.  We also stopped at Circle C.  Lucy did another fine job of retrieving.  She's really beginning to like this like she did when she was younger.

When we got home I went out to look at the train stuff I have.  There's no way I can remember it all.  I found out that I have all the viaduct pieces I need to redo part of the layout like I want to.  I also found several models that I'd forgotten I had.  So I picked out a simple one and brought it back with me.

I finished most of the coal yard model and started to paint the new model, a rural station.  I got all of the painting done except for the windows.  Ellen is going to do that.  It will take almost no time to put it together.

I'm watching Alabama and Oklahoma right now.  It's the best college football game I've seen all year.
