Mid-April
We have had some real lousy weather lately. It really rained a couple of times this month. It seemed like January. We are ramping up for the San Bernardino trip. We had our hydro inspection on Thursday the 12th. It seems that all the staybolts were not drilled out and it was embarassing to the group. We will not make that mistake again.
Yesterday (14th) we cleaned out the smoke box and plugged the staybolts with wallboard mud. Long, filthy, tiring day. We will fuel and water the locomotive on Wednesday and fire up on Thursday. Inspection on Friday and off we go.
Went to dinner with Jessica and MR last night at the Pizza Lounge. Fun night but I was exhausted.
