John and our neighbor DeWayne spent the day at the
Golden Gate Railroad Museum
in San Francisco readying
Western Pacific 688 to move into storage in San Jose in a week.
They took the rotted out back steps off.
We have also drained our swimming pool and have about half of its
redwood deck dismantled and stacked for reuse as lumber. All of our
neighbors have been notified about this project and so far everyone
is supportive. I have a row of unhealthy citrus and privets and a
fence to remove so that the construction equipment can get in the
yard to start filling in the swimming pool.
Everyone asks when the party will be. We plan to have a caboose
blessing and potluck sometime this summer.
