Day 195

I was ready again this morning to do the spraying.  The good news was that the wind was light to non-existent.  So I went out to the garage and measured out the herbicides and put them in the sprayer.  That's as far as I got.  As I wheeled the sprayer out to fill it with water it started to rain.  Crap.

So I put the sprayer back in the garage and went to the well house.  I wanted to make sure that I wired the Loop Transfer section while I remembered what needed to be done.  That was a little before 11.  I was in there until almost 4.  I finished all of the wiring except for the viaduct and the mainline and passing lane on the far side of the layout.  All in all I wired about 26 feet of track.  That brings my total to 70 feet, 85% of the track.

In order to finish the rest I have to lift up the other side of the layout.  I also have to fasten down the viaduct and reposition the upper mainline piece.  I bet that doesn't get done for awhile.  I'm sort of burnt out on the whole thing right now.

It was good that I postponed the spraying.  In the morning it was just raining really lightly.  By the time I was finished with the layout it was beginning to get harder.  By 6 it was raining pretty hard and long.  I would have been pissed if I'd gambled that the rain was going to stop.

The layout basically took the whole day.  The rest was surfing and TV.
