Spring 2000

It seems that the weather is stopping me from working on the layout and the college stuff in the garage is stopping progress on the buildings.  

As you can see, the weather has really been a factor in the last few weeks.  The layout is always wet and muddy.  I did get to spend an hour on Memorial day just cleaning up the area and pulling weeds.  I need to add some more ballast but my track is holding up really well.

I was going to take a picture of the tree that almost caused the first major damage to the layout but I forgot.  It wasn't until the chain saw was done running that I realized I forgot to take a picture.  Of the two large trees next to the layout, the back one has split twice this spring.  Both times the wind blew the falling branches into the neighbors yard.  What is left of this 25 foot tree is leaning towards the layout.  Since it is already split in half, I am going to have to take the rest of the tree down.  I hate to do that though because these two trees are the only ones in the yard close enough together to hold the hammock!  

Take Care.
