Title: Tuesday - January 4, 2021
Post by: ReadingBob on January 04, 2022, 06:43:30 AM
Morning all,

Well, my better half (who works at a school) returns to work today.  It'll be interesting to see if they have a full staff or if they're going to be short handed.  Meanwhile I'll continue plugging away at my dining room table.   ;)

Morning, all.

Will continue working on the challenge build today, in between computer games and history videos on You Tube.

Morning all,

Nice picture of the Reading T-1 Bob.

Pre-op went well yesterday as they put an arm band on me and told me not to shave until after surgery. After surgery on Thursday morning I'm not sure I'll be in the mood to shave.

Today I'll do more on the build challenge and later a Zoom meeting with Bruce Oberleitner.

Have a great day.

Tom  ;D

Good Morning All,

Not sure what's on the agenda today but I'll probably start on the windows for the build challenge today.

Tom, you can grow a beard like me!

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning.


It was a brisk ten degrees when I went to the barn this morning.  It has warmed up to 14 degrees now, if you call anything in the teens warm. ;D ;D ;D


I think I have changed my mind yet again on what I will be doing for this year's Raymo Challenge. 


Bob, if you want to see a Broadway Ltd. Reading T1 in action, here's a link to Rob Bennett's video of him running his.  If you start at the beginning he explains why a T1 is meaningful to him, plus a lot of other "stuff".  If you just want to see it run, tune in at 6:40 and watch from there.

Everyone have a safe and productive day!

Good morning!  Nice pic Bob.  Just got back from walking our dog.  Nice sunny morning, but at 14 degrees my face got a bit chilled.  Good news about pre-op Tom.  I'll do something train related this morning, then when it warms up to just below freezing I'll venture out to do some grocery shopping.  Time to brew some more coffee.

Good morning! I got back to the workbench, yesterday, after about three weeks of family time. It will take a couple days to get things cleaned up and restart the builds I have in progress. We are experiencing cold seasonable weather in this part of the country, too.  I hope everyone has a great day.  From the F&SM:

I'll buy all the $16 FSM kits you don't want.

Late start for me checking the forum.
Any word on the Springfield show?

That sounds like a feature!  The two things I hated about the Army was getting up too early in the morning and shaving.
