Dereliction?

Here's my excuse for what might be called dereliction of duty to the Blacktop Crossing:

Much time has been spent on watching construction of new workshop.  While the primary purpose of the new garage will be working on "classic cars", there's room for model railroading, as well.  The layout was just moved over to the garage today.  Accessories will follow soon and maybe there will be a better place to work than the upstairs "closet" in the house!

In addition, the grandsons need to visit for a long enough spell to get some work done.  Christmas visit was way too short and too much else going on.  Previous visit did get some windows made for textile factory, but there are 40-50 yet to go.  Not a job that young guys get real excited about. . . .
