Morning all,
It may not seem like much yesterday I used my lunch hour to pull out a 4'x8' sheet of Homosote and cut it into 2'x4' chunks. I'm going to use one for a 2'x4' module that will include Red Hook Wharf when I finally get around to building it. Now I have something to play around with to visualize how things might fit. ???

Have a great one!
Morning Bob and others,
I did get the grass edged and cut yesterday prior to the rain, just barely.
A few errands this morning and layout work later this afternoon.
Have a great day ya'll.
Tom ;D

Good morning!
Good Morning All,
Going out to Dad's again today and need to go to the local VA clinic for a blood draw. I've been having frequent leg cramps at night for several weeks. He modified my meds with no change so maybe it's something metabolic. Fingers crossed.
I hope everyone has a good day.
Morning, all.
Bob got more accomplished yesterday than I did, but I hope to do better today. Managed to mow the lawn for the first time in three weeks, amazing how two days of rain could make it green up and grow so quickly.

Morning,
I am a lumberjack today cutting down an overgrown Smoke bush.
Present and accounted for. ;)
Morning. Had a visiting PT nurse come to the house yesterday. After small talk and taking of vitals, she had me show her how I manage stairs, getting in and out of bed, in and out of shower and toilet and my daily walk routine, etc. After we were done she told me that she was going to recommend to the Dr. that I start outpatient PT because I was already doing anything they would have taught me to do, and I was doing it right. Progress..😁
Good morning! I'm working on replacing my light fixtures in the basement again, today. It is not a fun job so I'm pushing to get it done. I hope everyone has a great day.
From the F&SM:

Fantastic news Dan, keep up the positive progress but don't overdo it !!
Bob, sounds like you made some very good progress yesterday, and sure looking to see what you do with Red Hook when the time comes.
John, swapping out the lights is indeed a chore (more work than fun for sure), but it should make a wonderful difference in the lighting for your beautiful layout.
Between work and family have not been able to find time for the modeling desk or layout in some time. Hope all have a positive and productive day.
All the best,
--Paul
Dan, glad to hear of your progress.
Bob, that is certainly intriguing news. My suggestion is to make sure there is at least a little "expandability" in your design and construction methods. Great layouts on this forum and everywhere grow from modules...even if there is no foreseeable opportunity- it can't hurt to keep a few doors open for who knows when or where.
Have a good weekend...John
Good news, Dan! Keep up the good work, but don't push it to far. :)

A dry cold front is due in later today. The last couple of days here have been pretty nasty (hot and quite humid.) Fortunately the basement stays pretty cool, even if the dehumidifier is running constantly.
I've been cutting fillers between the tracks in my visible staging yard (so I can ballast that yard without wasting a lot of ballast to fill in between the tracks) and working on a laser cut boxcar kit. It's good to have a couple projects going in parallel, I can work on the car when the paint (primer) is drying on the foam fillers, and let the glue dry on the boxcar when I install the next set of filler pieces.

Good job Dan. You're doing better than I did 16 years ago. The surgical procedure has improved significantly. Jim
