March inhales deeply

Is such as tease. One day we have temps in the 60's, next day 20's, so we alternate between deep mud, and frozen mud on the County road to get to house.

Yesterday was a great day, cleaned kennels, made momma's duck 'pond', cleaned and polished the Harley, dogs laying out in the sun, sitting onn porch relaxing in the sun, coffee in hand, and now again freezing rain or snow predicted for tonight.

Just getting tired of the weather, need spring so I can get out of the house. Was planning on picking up a new Honda CRF250L Dual-Purpose http://powersports.honda.com/2013/crf250l/street.aspx this weekend, but now we will be having a mud fest/cold snap so postponed a little more. Momma so far is a go on that, and knowing momma that may change, before the fact...LoL

Model Rail coming along fine, almost got the DCC system intalled. Putting those little circuit boards in the engines with my eyesight is 'fun' to say the least. Layout complete, now all the wiring and drilling, fun stuff. When done will have 10 trains running at one time.
The big BNSF 'coal' train has 35 coal cars, with more to come, two pullers, one pusher, and she barely makes the one long grade climb. Plannin on a 50 car train on thaqt one, 1/2 the size of a real one. The big UP mixed freight same problem with length and climbs. The two smaller eastern D&H mixed freights are anolog due to age of power units where too old for DCC install 'whine' all the time to to the high freq of the DCC system. They run as 'code'000 on DCC control, so no real issue other than the sound. And of course my two AMTRAK's are always 'late', and in the way of the freights. http://www.katousa.com/

Got my R/C Albatross DIII almost up and ready, great deal, plane and a binded R/C control unit for less than $300. So far only 'taxi' tests winds still too high to fly, don't want a repeat of my scratch built Fe2B rolling uncontrolable and crashing, totaled. Getting the SE-5 Going to try R/C off road vehicles on the 'track' a little later in summer. http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZ5980

The big B-17 is a late summer plan. http://www.bananahobby.com/6-ch-freewing-fuddy-duddy-oversize-b-17-bomber-rc-warbird-airplane-arf.html

Just getting impatient I guess.

Reb Cpl, are you still doing reenactments?

We're at that awkward time of the year when it oscillates back and forth between winter and spring for a couple of weeks.
