We stayed at home today. I finally finished the train model. I do need to put decals on it, but I don't feel like it for now. Instead I went out to the well house and looked at what had to be done to replace the viaducts with stone arches. It turns out that I have almost enough arches to do the job. There's a lot of modification that is necessary.
I needed to grind off a lot of the internal features on the arches. I also had to take apart two that had been glued together (I bought them used). Then I had to fabricate some new pieces to fill in the arches. All in all it was a lot of work with the Dremel. Then I glued the new pieces to the arches.
I'm not finished. I have 13 towers to build to mount the arches. Each tower is 1/26 of an inch higher than the adjacent one. That's going to be fun.
I plan on buying an air conditioner for the well house. That will allow me to work there as the weather warms up. It's already in the high 70's here.
The pants I ordered aren't available any more. The website emailed me saying I needed to order something else. So I spent an hour or so finding a replacement. I emailed them the choice and they have already processed it.
By the middle afternoon Lucy was getting very antsy. Every time one of us got out of a chair she would get up and try to convince us to go somewhere. I decided to make the trip to the mailbox a long one. We walked all the way around to Madrone Trail and back. Unfortunately Lucy had to be on leash for most of it. I think she still had fun.
Tomorrow is the RV show.
