<p>Good Evening!</p> <p>The day has been kind of awkward. Waiting for the results of those tests makes me all edgy. For whatever reason, I don´t expect anything good heading my way. I´ll be keeping a low profile in the next days.</p> <p>Petra has adjusted her cooking to her needs, which is both good and bad for us. As long as that gall bladder of her keeps upsetting her, we will be on a low carb, low fat, low taste diet. The good thing is I have lost 4lbs. in the last few days and the bad thing is - Petra did as well. Now she is definitively underweight! I hope she´ll be able to eat normal, tasty food soon, to put on some weight.</p> <p>I have been looking into making something out of the surplus Kato Unitrack. Sometimes it pays off to check what you´ve got instead of searching for new and expensive ideas. I went upstairs into our storage room in the attic to check on the mini-modules I have stored there. They seem to be in good shape, only one module needs a switch to be replaced, as the mechanics of it got destroyed when I ballasted it (I certainly know now how to avoid that)</p> <p>With just a minimum of effort (and some help from Lothar) I could come up with that:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/N%20Modulanlage%20Variante%201_zpsbmlrn6ch.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>The scenicked modules are finished and need only a good clean-up, the switch replaced and a few details. The corner modules need to be made. I have now idea what type of scenery to add, though. In the back of my head I see a temple or a shrine amidst rice fields and a more urban scenery on the right module. Providing the tremor in my hand lets me work with the computer, I´ll draw up something within the next days.</p> <p>DerJohn - PM sent!</p> <p>I´ll stay in the back booth for a little while - anybody care to join me?</p> <p>Have a good one!</p>
