Good morning!  Woke up to chilly temps and a nice coating of frozen precip on the ground.  I think I'll stay inside for a while and enjoy a cup of coffee for a bit.  Grocery shopping today, then some trains later.

Morning, all.

Off for a couple of days.  Son/DIL/grandchildren supposed to arrive this morning, but it's snowing and they may not venture out until it stops (they're presently at her folks about 1.5 hours away).  One fix it chore on the docket for this morning.  Ran trains a couple of days ago and only one area (where I'd painted tracks) required cleaning.

Good morning.


Still plugging along on the layout wiring along with some track changes.  Certainly nothing exciting or photo worthy.


Another pic from Dick Elwell's layout.  Everyone have a safe and productive day!

Morning all,

Dr. appointment this morning for me. Later I'll finish cleaning up the train room.

Have a great day.

Good Morning All,

Plugging away at the layout today. Not much else on the agenda.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning Folks;

Sitting in a coffee shop on ship, enjoying just catching up on various forum threads. I have enjoyed the cruise more than I expected. It is a little crowded but I spend most time working on 3D CAD designing for layout.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Greetings!


It's nuts how just when you think life is back to "normal", it topples over upside down. I'll just say I'll be glad when 2021 is over.


I'm looking forward to the 2022 build challenge. It seems the only time I end up building a kit is for these yearly challenges  ;D


Have a great day.


Later.


Jaime

Good morning! Well I served my first Covid test.  It was negative - Dr. said I caught one of the 1000 other viruses that are floating around. Kicked my butt for a couple days - all I wanted to do is sleep. Probably something new that the Kids brought home from school.  I'm back playing with the Grandkids, today.  I hope everyone has a great day.

Happy Tuesday, all,

Just spent a good hour or more installing blue LEDs (a repurposed Christmas string) in the underground cavern on the layout. Not sure it was worth the effort as blue lights give little illumination--but my wife insists it looks good, so that is enough. And they were free, and I'm all about not spending money as retirement looms large.

Have a great one and take care!

Afternoon all,

John (Cuse) stopped by this morning to pick up a few detail castings I painted for him.  Many more to go.  I do small batches of the castings he left we me as I do some for whatever build I'm currently working on.  I need to wrap up the current build on my workbench so I can get started on the one for the build challenge.   ;)

I miss wandering around the vendor room at the Expo's buying stuff I really don't need.   ;D

And to add to Reading Bob's comment, buying duplicates of kits that you already have.
