<p>Good Morning Folks!</p> <p>We had plenty of ra*n over the night, but it is clearing up now and there is an attempt of sunshine to be seen.</p> <p>As it is still a holiday here in Germany, I´ll have a big breakfast, you know, Flo, bacon and eggs, buttered toast and jams, a tall glass of OJ and lots of coffee, please.</p> <p>No real plans for the day. I leave the trackwork as it is now. A slow speed test this morning resulted in 90 seconds for the mainline run of 12 ft., that´s about 4 scale mph without stalling. I bet I can go even slower when the loco is run in properly.</p> <p>Ken - don´t ecomomize on a ladder. An investment into a a ladder is an investment into safety. When you want to climb onto your roof, make sure the ladder stands firmly on the ground and that there is a way to fasten it to the roof. I had to learn this the hard way - it was no fun clinging to the rain gutter while Petra tried to put up the ladder again. Things to look for on a ladder are the "feet" and the load. We are all big folks and anything below a load of 250lbs. is getting dangerous!</p> <p>A perfect ladder looks like this:</p> <p><img src="http://admin.hailo.de/data/produkte/474/images/7209-001_HM_001_300_RGB.500px.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>The manufacturer is <a href="http://www.hailo.de/konsum/en/products/runged-ladders-ladder-scaffolds/runged-ladders.html?p=474_profistep-duo" target="_blank">Hailo</a> of Germany</p> <p>Make it a great one!</p>
