Title: Halloween Eve Wednesday October 30, 2024
Post by: jerryrbeach on October 30, 2024, 08:00:58 AM
Good morning.

Once again, the door is open and the coffee is on. The only real progress I made yesterday "modelingwise" was to cut and fit some sheet lead into the slope sheets of an underweight open hopper.  Unfortunately, it was still too light, so I ended up adding some lead shot inside the hoppers to add more weight.  I used some diluted white glue to hold the shot in place.  I plan to give that a day or two to dry fully then I'll add some coal over the top of it.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning all,

Off to have breakfast with friends this morning.  After that we'll see what trouble I can get into.

Jerry - you got more done yesterday than I did.  ::)

Have a great one!

Our town is having Halloween today, I guess so the kids can go to neighboring towns tomorrow.  Weather here will be warm, and probably cloudy.  Last night we got some much needed rain.  I'll have to blow the leaves off the walkway before the Trick-or-Treaters start.  Before then, I should get some more work on the hopper.

Morning all.

Watching yet another team meeting.  This one is how we can get more money out of our customers.  Isn't it great how medicine became just like working retail?  Sixteen more months for me, if I can make it that far.  

Got some of the locomotive wiring done, might finish it today.  We'll see.  Time for the first dog walk of the day.

Afternoon all,

Pam and I had a busy morning running all kinds of errands. I gave a finger to buy groceries. Let's hope it all changes next Tuesday.

I'm back on the Ovalix redo. I'll post photos of the entire project but I want to get it finished and then do the thread.

Hope all are having a great day.

Tom
