<p>Good Evening, Guys & Gals!</p> <p>What a weird day! It was so hot & humid over here, that Petra and I felt ill all day long. We did not leave the house, closed the blinds on our windows and just tried to stay cool. Rain came with a big "Boom & Bang" a few moments ago, so it is now starting to get a little more comfortable. I guess I must have some Inuit or polar bear blood in my veins.</p> <p>It was a day of doing nothing. I watched a few steam videos on Youtube to collect some more ideas for my layout. It is amazing how many nice videos there are - if you are interested to learn something about Japanese steam locos or just enjoy some spectacular pictures, do a search on Youtube using the key words SL C61, SL C62, or SL C57, SL C58 or SL D51. The SL stands for steam locomotive - you would not have guessed this! Actually, I quite like the looks of Japanese steamers, they all have a somewhat familiar face with their German brethren.</p> <p>I received the kit for the level crossing I want to use on my next module - $ 3 well spent (well add the same amount for shipping [:'(]) Took me 2 minutes to assemble - well engineered. I hope now that the missing piece of track comes soon, so I can start to w*rk on the module.</p> <p>Zoe, just a [B] and put the drinks the gang will be having tonight on my tab.</p> <p><b>Ray</b> - I need to persuade Petra to publish her award winning potato salad recipe her, then we can enter into a who makes the best potato salad contest... [(-D]</p> <p><b>YGW </b>- I don´t think I´ll ever make it to that cabin by the lake in this life - maybe in the next [:(]</p> <p><b>Todd</b> - it must be the season - about a year ago we had that song coming up here [swg]</p> <p><b>Stan</b> - if I were a rich man I´d commission a picture of my JNR D51 498 with you! Petra is pretty good in water colors, but unfortunately lacks the understanding of a steam loco to paint a picture of it. Women - don´t the know the essentials of life? OK, Zoe, now will you please ... <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Bang , Clonk - shudder</b></span> - Ouch!</p> <p>CUL</p> <p> </p>
