"Once more unto the breach, dear friends..."

Happy middle of the work week.  I probably shouldn't compare going to work with war, but Wednesdays sometimes feel like that.

Coffee is done brewing, bagel done toasting. Have a great day, everyone.

Morning all,

Yep.  Middle of the week.  Gotta sneak out for a long lunch today to get my annual physical.  Sneaking out is a little bit easier when working from home.   ;)

Morning, all.

Off work today.  Electrician is supposed to come this morning to give me an estimate to put a 240V outlet in the garage in case I get an EV for my next vehicle.  New tires for the wife's van this afternoon.

Morning all.

Interesting article in today's paper; Marklin says the pandemic has caused an uptick in model railroading sales. I'm sure US firms would have similar reports. When the world is in chaos, it's good to have a hobby!

Erieman really stands out in the crowd, doesn't he?  :D


More work on my kitbash, doing the dormers on the Mansard roof.  I'm still pondering how to handle the roofline...

Morning all.

Burned the midnight oil last night.

Picked up some supplies during the day at the local hobby store. Quite amazing how the little things add up in cost.

Rain is lashing at the window.

Morning, to most of you.
Back from the waste disposal yard. $50.00 to drop off a load of landscaping blocks. College Hunks wanted $250.00 for the same task. Wonder if I can keep the remainder for hobby stuff?
All day rain forecast. We'll see.
Stay dry and healthy all.

Mornin' all...

Grey, cold and windy.   That's what we get here in downtown Idaho when the seasons change.

Some bench time today.   Finishing up a Labelle gas motor passenger doodle bug that I started several years ago.  Got stuck on powering it.  I settled on a modified Bowser trolley drive truck and can motor.

It's great to see photos of some of the names I have come to know on the forum..

Thanx
Bob

I cut the chimneys to match the Mansard roof angle, and mocked up the dormers and chimneys.
