Kuipers Train Engineer 8:30am - 1pm
Came home early and worked on spreadsheet and blog.
I also did some work on the railroad as you will see by the following pics:

Here I entered  the cars that went through inspections this afternoon on my maintenance spreadsheet.

Here are the cars waiting on the test track waiting for the next opportunity to get on the mainline.

WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKBENCH?

Turned off the computer and sorting stuff to be put away after a heavy day working the inspection of rail cars.
