Morning all.

About twenty degrees cooler than yesterday and might rain.  Getting some slow progress on the layout. 

Hawkeye offense woke up in the second half to beat our evil rivals from Minnesota, and win back Floyd of Rosedale, a bronze pig.  What else did you expect from a Midwest rivalry game?   8)

I need to defrost the mini fridge today.  Pretty exciting day planned here.

The Society for Creative Anachronism holds the "Pennsic Wars" where they recreate medieval battles, etc. https://www.pennsicwar.org The loser gets Pittsburgh  ;D

It's seasonally cool and cloudy in SE NH, but after the warm September it feels chilly.  The little bit of rain yesterday restored the green to the yard, at least that part not already covered by leaves.  

My choice this afternoon is watching the Steelers game or heading to the train room.  I don't think I could tolerate the political ads in between the football, so it's down to the basement I'll go.

Morning all,

No football for me until tonight. Don't even know who's playing.

Today I'm working on my book, no modeling for now.  I will update the thread on the Inter-Action travel trailer. 

I haven't written anything for the past two months The next two weeks will be all on the book.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

Currently raining outside so I guess I'll stay inside.  That was the plan anyway. ;D Workbench time this afternoon.  Maybe a little football.  Depends on which games are on.  If nothing interesting is on maybe an old movie.

Hello,

I have been working in the basement.  Starting to paint baseboards.  I have 20 of the 16ft baseboards to paint.

Can't wait to get the Grizzly Dust Collector installed.

Some progress on the truss:

The wood spacers help hold things together until I get the diagonals and counters added.  This will be a "straining truss" with the iron tension rods outside of the truss rather than through the middle. 

And the Steelers won, even without my watching.  I did track the last couple of minutes of the game while working.
