Morning all,

No SBG today as Bill twisted his knee and won't be here. I have lots of errands to run anyway.

Have a great day ya'll.

Good Morning Everyone;

The Boss had knee replacement surgery Wednesday so I have been driver, cook, cleaner and nurse for last couple of days and will be for some time. Surgery went well but she is in a lot of pain. She is a tough girl so if she says it hurts I imagine I would be climbing the walls if it was me. Fortunity the Olympics are on for a couple of weeks so she has something to enjoy when I am running errands. I have been working on a couple of Jorden 1911 Ford model T cars for the layout. I wish I could make a vehicle like Dan Raymond does but no such luck. Hopefully they will be good enough to add some color to the scene with most mistakes hidden.

Well off to clean out the car and get lunch ready, hope everyone has a great day.

Jim

Morning all,

I sure hope Bill's knee injury isn't too bad.

Jim, here's hoping Mrs. Jim's knee recovers quickly and the pain subsides.

Still applying those *%&$ tiny decals to stuff.  Hopefully I can wrap that up today.  Two shelves left.  One has 10 bottles on it and the other has 9 bottles on it.  They're pretty close to one another which adds to the fun of getting the decal in place.  :o

I miss seeing a caboose at the end of a train.

Jim,

I hope the Boss, IE Deb, get well soon and the pain gets less each day.

Jim, my wife had the similar situation after knee replacement.  The opioids they prescribed didn't work and she couldn't get them to prescribe anything else.  NEVER AGAIN!  Don't put up with that!  Talk to her surgeon and INSIST they find a pain medicine that works.  Talking amongst our seniors lunch group, others said 'Yeah, the Oxy didn't work for me, but they finally found something that did work.'

Weather in SE NH is good, warmer but still relatively dry.  I'll do more work on the cobblestone streets.  I should paint/prime some more of the vinyl cobblestone material.
