Title: Saturday, May 8, 2021
Post by: Opa George on May 08, 2021, 06:59:25 AM
Good morning, all,

Ah, Saturday--my favorite day of the week.
Cold and wet today but with the promise of sun and drying out.  So maybe some yard work later. I have to proctor an online exam for a homebound student mid-day, but other than that it's wide open. 

Have a great day and weekend all.

Good morning. 


Crazy as it sounds, it was snowing here earlier this morning.  Big white flakes falling from the sky.  Of course the ground is too warm for it to stick...


The earlier snow is now rain, looks like a wet one here though we may see the rain stop later in the day. 


Everyone have a great day!

Morning, all.

After another long stretch at work, I'm off for two days.   :) We'll see if I manage to get back to the workbench today.

Hopefully Tom got my package yesterday and the Judge shows up today, so he can inspect the Judge's Chambers building :-) 

I'm still working on the project for my geology class, it's due Tuesday, so that puts an "upper bound" on completing the work.  Another collaboration session this afternoon with my partner (who is a for-credit student, so she gets a grade on this, meaning I have to pull my weight!) 

I planted some hellebores and lavender yesterday and watered them again today.  Hope they survive!

Morning all,


I can't wait until I can say I have a hard time remembering which day of the week it is.  Rest assured, I know today is Saturday.   ;)   Maybe / probably / hopefully a little workbench time this afternoon.   ;D


Have a great one!

Good morning! I've been spending some time on the design of my new town on the layout but haven't been in the train room for a few days. I'm getting in some quality family time - I spent a few hours holding my new Grandson, yesterday. We had a nice talk about model railroading and how he has a mountain named after him on the layout. I hope everyone has a great day.

Dave,

Yes, I got the model and will post something to the A&S thread later this afternoon. I also sent you a PM ref. the Judge's Quarters.

Thank you again for you kind thoughtfulness.

As I was coming home for running errands, I followed a FedEx truck that was obviously lost.  He was counting down the mail box numbers and stopped at mine.  I pulled down my drive a bit and waited.  Sure enough it were fer me!

One of the few times I found something on that auction site that wasn't being price gouged.  Paid exactly $5 more than what it originally sold for.  Box dated 10/03.

Great find and price - enjoy the build.
