Title: Tuesdday 21DEC2021
Post by: MAP on December 21, 2021, 06:05:15 AM
Good morning!  Not much modeling going on lately.  My cleanup/organizing has moved to another room now where our old treadmill bit the dust, and a new one is arriving 1st week of the new year.  9 Finger Loren Hendrix is stopping by later today to take a look at the layout and shoot the breeze, so modeling will at least be talked about!

Morning all,

Gee, there must be a thing with treadmills lately.  First my wife's bit the dust.  Then John's (S&S RR).  Now yours Mark.  :o

Today is my better half's birthday.  Tomorrow is Junior's birthday.  Don't say Merry Birthday or Happy Christmas around either one or give them a birthday present wrapped in X-Mas wrapping paper.   :o

I'm off next week and cleaning workbenches should be on my list of things to do.  I have a shelving project for the garage that's on hold because of one piece that has been out of stock at Home Depot for months now.  Once I redo the shelving the garage a small 2' by 4' module is a real possibility with room to grow to 2' by 8' or possibly 2' by 12' in the future.

Have a great one!

Morning, all.

Working the next three days.  At least I got everything tidied up for the Holidays.  Still need to see if the trains run and the track needs cleaning.

Good Morning All,

Hope to finish the engine facility ground cover today and clean the track in it. Dad has a video medical appointment today which I have to help him with and a in-person VA appointment on Thursday.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Morning all,

Happy Birthdays to the Butts clan. I have a friend whose birthday is Christmas day.

Maddie went to the vet to get her monthly grooming.

Still raining here. My treadmill quite last year and I won't be getting a new one.

Have a great day.

Tom  ;D

I got a message from my friend who was caught in the KY tornadoes.  They've moved his wife into the room across the hall from him.  They're still pulling splinters out, but overall both of them are slowly recovering.  So that's good news. 

Yesterday I did some jigs for the B&M car project, for the grabirons.  My battery screwdriver that I use as a low RPM hand drill ran out of juice, so today it should be recharged and I'll drill the grab holes and see how they look.  I'm doing the jigs in styrene, but I probably should do them in brass :-)

Christmas "madness" is in the air but I love it. Yesterday we had a local independent builder in to replace the old basement steps. Now I can get downstairs to the trains in style (and security).  He rebuilt the steps probably three times stronger. 

Some shopping for my wife today. I have a few ideas in mind.

Sunday my grandson was here for breakfast and then time running the trains.  A bit of dirty rail slowed things a bit. I need to polish them up for next time.

Have a great Tuesday!

Good evening.  I'm checking in late - bed time for the Grandson. I replaced my treadmill last month - very happy with the new one. Fun family time for the holidays. I hope everyone has a great day.  From the F&SM:
