Title: Sunday, March 7
Post by: Blazeman on March 07, 2021, 06:48:35 AM
First week of March is about done.  One more week of standard time.

Clear and chilly in SE PA this AM.

Made a lot of progress yesterday dismantling my friend's layout.  Sad thing.  Amazing how he designed and constructed his benchwork, especially around the oil tank. 

Relaxing day here planned, even though heater not igniting.  Playing waiting game with plumber/heating man.  Thank goodness we have backup heat pumps that are still efficient with these lower temps.

Stay warm....better days coming for us folks in the higher latitudes.

Morning, all.

It's supposed to break 60 degrees today.   :)  I can enjoy it walking to the car after work.   :(

Had a rather bizarre mishap yesterday.  Sitting at my modeling desk and a kitchen style cupboard that is above it suddenly fell and landed on my desk. Amazingly the only damage to me was a moderate size scalp laceration and a total mess of modeling paraphernalia on the floor.  Cabinet hung on French cleat system must not have engaged properly.  Can't even yell at installer since it was me😏. Plan to clean up mess and install again with help to make sure safe this time. Have a safe day all. Scott

Morning all,

Wow Scott!  That must have been quite a surprise.  Glad to hear you weren't hurt too badly.   :o

Workbench time today.  That's it.  Nothing else.  Just the way I like it.   ;D

Have a great one!

Good morning.


Teens to start the day here.  Not a big deal because I'm planning to be inside most of the day working on the railroad.


Everyone have a safe and productive day!

Scott, glad to hear you survived stuff falling off the walls...

Chilly morning, lows in the teens, should get above freezing today.  I think the sap will run today, certainly tomorrow and Tuesday.  They're predicting low 60s by Thursday, but then back to more seasonable weather.  Ah, spring in New England... 

Yesterday I did more work on those small hoppers.  They're almost done, just need brakestaff and loads.  I'm pondering how to do loads, I probably need to get fresh mold supplies.

Morning,
Next 4 days in the 50's...still a lot of snow here, but starting to see a few areas of grass...and gopher hills...
Wonder if this train was heading to Chicago and taking me home from the military service back in 71...

I'll be the last (probably, but maybe not) check-in of the day.

I completely cleaned up my workbench and layout room today instead of making more tiny piles of wood bits. It was long overdue and in a horrible state since I tore down the old layout and built the new smaller layout.  This meant lots of "stuff" (unused structures, piles of used flex track, boxes of everything else) sitting around waiting for a home.

Feels really good and now I'm ready for a project. Does this count as spring cleaning?

I stopped in for a night cap last night but the lights were out and no one was here.   :(
