Good morning Vince, Jan, and later arrivals.


Jan, nice photo.


Finished up some temporary fence yesterday, so that is done for a while.  Lawn is on the list for today and then dinner tonight at my friend Jim's (whiskeyriver's) house.


Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning, all,

Grandsons are coming over today so we're keeping the agenda open--see what they might want to do.   I made a batch of fig and apple chutney yesterday with some of our abundant figs. It's very good with brie and crackers. Need to put some back for the holidays.

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning, all.


Haven't done any train related stuff the last two days, and probably not today, either.  Not really motivated.  Hawks won yesterday, hopefully the Pats will do the same today.  Fortieth anniversary for the wife and I today.  I think we'll treat each other to Covid booster shots.   :)

Congrats to Mr & Mrs Jeff! 

Rainy start to Sunday, but the sun just came out.  Neighbors are having some landscapers work on their pool, they started at 8:00 this morning.  Wife is not amused. 

Yesterday I cut and stained the wood for the Laird Stone Co. loading dock.  That's a lot of little pieces (85' long dock, individual decking pieces).  I'll start assembly today.

Congratulations Jeff and Mrs. Jeff!

Spent time at the workbench painting stuff yesterday.  Probably more of the same today.  I do need to dismantle a treadmill though.  It died after nine years of hard use (not by me I might add).  How does one throw away a treadmill?  ???

Have a great one!

Congrats to Dr. and Mrs Zephyr!


Bob, good luck with the treadmill. My experience is kind of a "hot potato" thing...use it and try to sell it or give it away at a Garage sale or similar before it dies  ;D  Those things are heavy.


Today, I'll continue rearranging the garage to allow my bride to pull her little Jeep in as my new Tesla has claimed her spot and she doesn't agree that Jeeps are "supposed to be dirty".


Have a good one...John

G'day
A very dear friend of 47 years passed away recently.
His passing came out of the blue but when he's the same "vintage" it rocked me completely.
Thom Driggers came up with the suggestion of making a car in memory of my good friend so he'll always be "present" when I'm working on my layout.
Stephen ran his own rubber factory in Charleston SC and if you look closely Thom has modeled pallets of rubber product inside the car.
Thom completely modified an existing boxcar with custom decals and hardware.


Thanks for coming up with this brilliant idea Thom and making a lasting memory for my dear friend.


David

David,

Condolences on the loss of your dear friend.  The boxcar tribute is a wonderful idea and I love how it came out. 

Best regards,
Opa George

Bagman,
             You are welcome my friend! 

Hi all,
          Bagman talked about his friend to me over the years, he and his wife used to come to America to visit Stephen and his family and in my home town where I grew up and visited frequently in the past decade and while I never got to meet Stephen, I know what kind of man Bagman is and any friend of his is a friend of mine. 

I was sad to hear of his passing and wanting to do something to honor both Stephen and a good dear friend of mine and this came to mind.  If everyone gets a chance you should look up his layout it's published just about everywhere important in this "World's Greatest Hobby".

Bagman is a bloody brillant modeler and that's why he's been published so many times.
                           Thanx Thom...
