JB, why did you need your own rail road?

Seth, something like that. Every time I start talking about what I want to build next she just says, wait a few days you'll change your mind again. Haha She does want the next build to be hers but we'll see. I've got plenty to finish up.

Haha! Just got an email from Roger Spears telling me I'd create confusion with the term 'metal track'. In your language it's a 'gravel road'.
We talk an English language that differs from your English language...
There have been times on trips in the States where a Kiwi would know exactly what I'm talking about; but an American doesn't have the slightest idea.

In other fronts, this morning the wife had another doctor's appointment so that meant no one was home and I could get some things done before work finally.

The other night Allyson put a first coat of poly on the floor. I keep telling her to quit trying to force the baby out early but I keep getting told to not worry about it. Uh, ok. So while she was away, I put the 2nd coat of polyurethane on. I think I'll do one more coat and call it good so we can get Izzy's bed in there and everything from her room back in there.

I ran out of caulking a while back so this morning I went to the local hardware store to get some and some other supplies. When I came back I put the ladder up and caulked around the left window, and also caulked all the way around the enclosure we built for it. I walked out in front of the garage to throw some paper towels in the recycling container when I noticed my truck bleeding out. Perfect! At least this truck gives you a warning before you are walking!

I went back to my regular work. I got the caulking put on and painted the window enclosure. Man, I'm going to have to get a taller ladder to do the other painting, finish sealing the RH enclosure, and put the shake shingles on. My ladder is 12' but is too short. I was standing on the 2nd to the last step from the top and stretching as far as I could to caulk and paint the top of the window and enclosure. I don't like heights, and I sure don't like to work like that. This fat kid won't bounce.
