Good morning! I'm back home after a week long adventure with my whole family.  We loaded up the Michigan part of the family on an airplane and flew to California to meet the newest member of the family. I rented a 6 bedroom house Silicon Valley and we had a great time.  A hike through the Red Woods, a hike along the beach so the Grandkids could get their feet wet in the Pacific Ocean etc. etc.  It took last years travel budget and this years to make it happen, but it was worth it. We kept real busy.


I hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning;

John glad you had a great trip, grandkids are fun. Dan, love the truck I just finished a 1904 Oldsmobile - it did not turn out like yours  :-\ oh well.

Today is our last day in NH. There are issues back home and wife is needed to help a sister deal with her sick husband. She will be flying home tomorrow and I will begin the drive back to Florida. Oh well, had a great time, great memories.

Good morning, all.  The NH seacoast is showery all day.  The rain isn't supposed to be intense, but still glad I cleaned my downspouts yesterday. Once I finish some work for the NER Mill City 21 convention, I'll spend the rest of the day modeling.  First up is airbrushing houses my wife has built.

Morning all.

Turns out I failed to previously process the comprehensive insurance package on the truck so there goes $500 for a new window!

The world must be balancing itself out after buying an FSM COAL DOCK and MAGNUSON FOUNTAIN BREWERY kits for $40 (total!) at the expo yesterday.

Good morning y'all. Had a nice rain yesterday. Because of our Virginia red clay a lot ran off but the garden areas received a refreshing amount.

Morning,
John, sounds like you had a great family vacation to the West coast...
Craig, sorry to hear about the car window...we keep our comp at 100 dollars here since we retired and had an problem...  our family visited a hobby shop in Chicago and when we were shopping our minivan was struck by a hit and run driver a longtime ago...the cost we pay for this hobby !
Have a safe weekend...will keep on watching the deer and the bear...he ran too fast...and racoons visiting the property looking for food...
Tommy

You guys keep talking about rain when all I get is fires and smoke. Why did I leave Maine?

Work-in-progress.  An MDC reefer with the cast-on grabs cut off.  The decals are nice and thin, so I had a few application problems.  Once this side is done, I'll do a better job on the other side :-)
