I feel bad that it’s been so long since I’ve posted anything. I’ve had a very hectic schedule recently and it doesn’t look like it’s going to let up for a couple weeks, at least. As you know I was in Quebec last week, Montreal and Quebec City to be precise.
On Friday I’m heading to Halifax for the weekend to watch my son, and his school band of course, perform at the Atlantic Band Festival. We’ve been attending the festival for almost 8 years, since my daughter first joined band in grade 7. Since John is our youngest, and in grade 12, this will be the last year we will attend the festival. An operating session on Friday evening has become part of the Festival tradition, for me anyway. I will be operating on Doug Whitman’s White River Southern again this year (yippee!).
We will return from Halifax on Sunday, just in time for our regular round-robin operating session with the guys. The Bayside and Tidewater is on the schedule this week. Since summer is fast approaching it may be the last operating session on the BS&Twith a full crew until next fall. I’ll try to get lots of photos.
Then, on Monday (May 5th) it’s off to good ol’ Quebec again. This time to St. Hyacinthe for a Metro vendor’s trade show. We’ll return late on Thursday (May 8th). I’ll have about a week to get my demonstration prepared for the Maritime Federation of Model Railroaders Annual Convention on May 16th – 17th in Amherst, Nova Scotia. I’ll be doing a demo of track laying and scenery on foam. From soldering rail and feeders to adding ballast, grass, bushes, and structure placement. That’s my plan, at least, as long as I can all the prep work done. HA!
After the Convention I’ll be able to relax a bit and work on the yard to get it ready for the G-Scale stuff I’ll be picking up at the Convention.
So, to make a long story short, I’ll likely not be making regular postings here for a few weeks. I’ll post updates when I can.
Later!
