A. Morning Musings

5:45 am It is + 11 C at the moment, with a forecast high of + 22 C. These are very close to normal temperatures for this time of year. It looks like the high temperatures are over for the moment, maybe for the summer.

Chores: I plan to apply the second (i. e. last) coat of white semi-gloss paint to the book boxes this morning.

Model Trains: I hope to visit an electrical shop in the afternoon to buy some additional wire and barrier strips. Then I will see about wiring the Lower Mainline loop.

I am pleased with this aspect of preparing an early morning web page. It really helps me establish a routine for the day. Thus the visit to the electrical shop is necessary in order to continue to make progress on operationalizing the model train layout.
