 Feel like I'm gettting some enthusiasim back for outdoor projects again.  Plus I'm to the point where I can work on few projects here and there.  I probably will finish up the combine and pair of 40 series hoppers I started last year.  Need a new caboose too, I'm retiring the old Combine 02, I'll stick it up on blocks out in the Engine Terminal area as an office / shed and let it slowly rot away.  Recycle its trucks for the new boose.

 More thoughts on operations are coming to mind.  I might switch Cassville Yard to Port Lavender, just reinstalling the old PL switch would give me access to an area for an interchange track, complete with a dummy SG track, and a cross loading dock. Make the collery area Cassville, then when I go on to make the loop, have the resort area at the far end Anns Creek, naming the water feture I plan there the same.

 Been thinking on tipple design and construction for the Cassville Yard.  I'm thinking more of a rambling modular affair than a big block across the tracks.  Still planning on the use of 8x8s

 Prospects look good for the repairs needed to Port Lavender Yard.  Minor maintanence on the switch stands, and a little cleaning out of the throw travel.  Still need to clear the weeds from the walkways, and mulch around the stepping stones.  I'll try to get the interchange track turnout and Summit Curve redone this weekend.
