Morning all,

Ah, a real Saturday and the last one for this month. Where has the year gone and July with it? The older I get the faster the time passes. Well, as long as I don't pass, all is good.

The Judge is coming over with a new diesel to run and check out.

Have a great day ya'll.

Tom  ;D

Good morning, all,

Aldi's and a local farm market for groceries after breakfast, then we'll spend the day at my grandson's baseball tournament. Beautiful weather for a couple of games!

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning ramblers.

Burnt some midnight oil and got the Flux Mill diorama almost done.

Couple more things to do and I'll call it good.

Hope everyone has a great start to the weekend!

Good morning! Tom you are sure right about time flying by. I'm just getting my Spring Chores completed. ;)  Today, is day 5 of having painters in the house. They should be done early next week and then the carpet gets installed the following week - scheduled to be a three day event. I'm sure looking forward to having the house back in shape and getting back to my modeling.  I hope everyone has a great day. From the F&SM,

John, your F&SM photo with the person in the background somehow reminds me of a scene from Ghostbusters...  Today I might start on installing the switchwrights under the standard gauge turnouts on the staging yard.  This is likely to be the first part of the layout that gets close to 'complete', but since that's visible from the lounge/shop area in the basement, that's Not A Bad Thing.

Spectacular day in SE PA.  Hope to get outside work done because of it.  Area I'm in did not get any of the heavy weather and tornado that Bucks County, PA did.  Former co-workers from there were spared.

But we do need rain where I am. Pool water evaporating.

I picked that picture on purpose - to see if Thom was awake this morning and if he checked in.  If you photograph the F&SM during an open house you will find a number of giant ghosts in the background of your pictures. Many times they resemble members of this forum. ;)

Great to hear from you - remember the Doctors orders you are restricted to only modeling HO scale vehicles until further notice.  You are in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy and successful recovery.
