Thanks guys! Doing scenery feels a little weird after all these years. I've been much more of a technician, focusing on layout design and construction, control systems, electrical etc. Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of technical stuff left to do, but for the next six months, scenery will be the priority leading up to the convention.

Today, after my nap, my wife and I went downstairs for a couple hours. She kept sifting chicken grit, while I cleaned some of the rail where the ballast was complete at Western. I also dug into a huge box full of "green stuff", sorting clump foliage and trees that had been packed away for nearly a quarter century. Just about as fresh as the day they were made.
