Good morning!  Where is everybody?  A sunny, cool start to the day here. I've got a few chores today, then taking my wife for her 1st vaccine this afternoon.  Hope to sneak in some modeling this afternoon.  Be safe!

Morning all,

Mark, I've been getting my tools ready for a day of yard work. Early start on Spring clean up.

I've had my fresh squeezed orange juice and I'm set for the day. Now where is that Diet Pepsi?

Have a great day ya'll.

Tom  ;D

Morning all. Remember to change the clocks tonight. Another cold and windy Saturday around here, think I'll stay in. A photo of a couple of Jordan's, not Jordan Miniatures but Jordan Motorcars models made by Sylvan.

Good morning.


We're back to the calendar's reality with a 24 degree start to the day, high around freezing and with wind chills in the single digits, teens if we're lucky.  Given the wind chill I'll probably keep my time outside to a minimum and work inside on my layout where it is warmer.


Tom,
Strange you should mention Diet Pepsi as I'm about to embark on a quick trip to Dollar General to replenish my supply.  I sometimes wonder if I should send you a "Thank You" card for my addiction.


Dan,
As usual, great looking cars!


Everyone have a safe and productive day!

Morning, all.

Slept an hour late.  Off for the weekend, though.  Supposed to be 60 today, but snow on Monday.   :o Hope to finish the challenge build today, but we'll see.

Morning all,

Tomorrow that "sleep an hour late" would be two hours Jeff.   :o

Great looking vehicles Dan!

Not much planned for today other than some workbench time.  I should clean up the yard a bit too but I may (okay, probably will) procrastinate on that chore.

Have a great one!

Clear and crisp this AM in SE PA.  More seasonal temps today, chillier tomorrow and Monday.

Later this morning, another session for dismantling our departed friend's layout. 

To echo an earlier reminder, spring ahead tonight with your clocks. Back to dark mornings.

Good day everyone.

Good morning, world,

Took advantage of the one day a week to sleep in. This is a very welcome weekend following a brutal week at work as COVID had a number of teachers out and substitutes are few and far between. I had to pitch in and teach math all day--and when I'm needed to teach math, you know we're desperate!

But better weeks are ahead as a significant portion of our staff has now either gotten the first shot or have appointments coming up for the vaccine.

A very bright spot--our bathroom remodel finished on Thursday and yesterday I had my first full luxurious shower in a while.  Today Amy has big plans and a big gift card to Home Goods, so we'll be off after grocery shopping on an epic quest for accessories for our new bathroom.  This of course is her version of me going to a train show!

In the meantime, I'm boiling sliced beets and just hard-boiled two dozen eggs to make a big jar of pickled red-beet eggs.  Should be a good weekend.

Take care everyone!

--Opa George

Good morning! I have been sitting here working on some correspondences and forgot to sign in. :-[  I'm planning on some scenery work on the layout along with some more work on the challenge build, today. Thank you for all the well wishes, another year older, but I sure got a great birthday present. I hope everyone has a great day.


Great look vehicles, Dan.
