Title: TGIF February 7th
Post by: cuse on February 07, 2025, 07:45:51 AM
Morning All, once again I apologize that I don't eat breakfast so you're on your own.

Nice to see all of the activity on the forum, including an influx of my favorite sorts of stuff - narrow gauge, critters, caricature-ish, Dave Meek-styled, etc.

Good news on MY modeling front...the Orlando Magic have again refused to make any positive moves at the trade deadline yesterday, so I've resigned as volunteer GM and rabid online fan...I'll hopefully redirect my energies and time to more important things like getting my layout to start looking like a layout and wake up my long dormant thread. 

Next, I'll have to do something about this whole "work for a living" thing - it's cramping my style. 

Have a good one...John

You are missing out on the Cheerios and bananas.

Great news that you are restoring some quality time on the layout!

:o Semi sunny but still cold, 140 here at my place.  Windy, giving a -10 feels like reading.

Little to add, everyone have a fine day.

Morning all,

Nothing new here other than I slept much later than normal. Old age will do that to me some times.

Today is dedicated to modeling and maybe catching lunch while doing it.

Have a safe and happy day everyone.

We got about 6" of powder yesterday.  Everything looks nice with a layer of clean snow.  

Today first I have to dog-sit while the cleaners are here.  Then I might go to an urgent care or even ER because I think I pulled a muscle in my chest at PT yesterday.  But given the location, I should probably have it checked out.   Otherwise, back to the wood car build.

Good morning everyone.

Only thing planned so far for today is a walk with Star further up the mountain where we're currently camped to scout our next campsite.

Have a great day everyone.

Dave, it's either irony or karma when you are thinking of going to EMR because you went to PT.
If you had stayed home from trying to get better, you wouldn't feel worse.

It just reinforces my view (dating to when my father dropped dead of a heart attack on a racquetball court because his doctor told him to get more exercise) that "exercise is not good for you."

Have a productive day and keep warm.

Good morning, all. A little south of Dave, we only got 3" of snow yesterday.  Sun has been off and on today, but above freezing so snow melting.  There's squawking about 8" Saturday night into Sunday, which would be our biggest storm this winter.  My 7' snowblower is hitched up.  After I've looked over the forum, I'll go up to the attic and work on the railroad.

Mornin,' All! 

19, feels like 4 and dripping white gifts here in the northern mitten, but the gifts are in  spotty showers and there are holes in the grey blanket....  Good day to... work on bills and tax prep.  Yuck....

Make it a great day, All, and stay safe!

Good afternoon.
Getting a little sun here in the northern part of Buckeye land. Just put in a couple of small orders to help support Our Canadian suppliers and thumb my nose at the whole tariff/ 51st state stupidity.
