Finally! Train activity. I stopped by B&G and bought this...

When looking at the Priority Project list this is Item A3.

And this is the receipt for recording purposes.

No train activity. Went to Henry's baseball game instead.

Worked a little bit on the railroad.
A few discoveries and a treat along the way...

I started to work on the PRB overpass and realized the modern version isn't going to work.
So I'm going to repackage them and trade the modern for the early version at B&G.

I also finished bringing train A32.51C back from Geneva to Chicago Terminal

Since I had a few more minutes I took a round trip
with train A2.51B from Chicago Terminal to Harvard
and back again.

I can't believe it!
Connie sent me a picture of the hat she made for me.
Look back at last week and see the picture of the two hats
she used as her prototypes.

I think it looks fabulous!!!!!

I can't wait to put it on!

Mainly worked on spreadsheets today...

You can tell I didn't preview this picture. It's blurry, but you'll get the idea.
I'm working on filling in the blank spots I have fallen behind in updating.

The section above is from this blog post from 2018. If it weren't so blurry I could probably read what week it was from. It looks like around Week 222.

The way I update the spreadsheet is to go back to each blog and check out the pictures and then
update the spreadsheet accordingly. It's better than updating the calendar and then trying to reconcile
the activity using the calendar, the blog with the spreadsheet.
