Title: Thu APR 3, where did this week go?
Post by: KentuckySouthern on April 03, 2025, 09:29:38 AM
The power is back in S Central lower MI, as of ~0300 this morning.  It's been quite a week.  So many other areas have had so much worse than we did here. 

Eggs, sausage and grits the main feature this morning with Gandy Dancer blend and Lineman's Extra Strong a choice, diet drinks and such are available too. 

A day of returning to 'normal' here on tap.  Be well all, tell us what's going on in your world.

Morning Karl.

We got your weather this past night in Western New York. No power outages though. Lots of rain.

Looks like another day in the model shop working on the quarry line cars.

Have a safe one.

We had thunderstorms roll through about 5:00 this morning, woke up the dogs and they woke us up.  So I'm dragging a bit today.  It's a dreary day, although it's supposed to get up to 65, even though there was a dusting of snow on the yard when we woke up.  So back down to the train room, looking at what I did yesterday, before the furnace serviceman arrives after lunch.

Glad to see Karl has electricity again.

Good morning, all. Dave, I woke up about 5 but don't recall thunder; the storm may have passed quickly.  Too much of this morning has been computer work and I'm not done yet: the signal and crossing gate parts I've decided to buy will be another hour to get lined up.  Then I'm shutting this off.

Afternoon all,

As far as the weather here it's 86 and partly cloudy.  8)

I guess I'll stay inside, where it's cool, and hit the workbench this afternoon.

Have a great one!

Good Afternoon;

Late check in for me today. I am kind of tired of making buildings so time to actually lay track and make a shelf switching layout. Due to room limitations I've decided to only model NW Ohio of 1912.  I was going to have Central Florida too but simply not enough room and there was plenty going on in NW Ohio to fill a small layout. I am going to expand the canal scene to start and work on a working drawbridge. I am sure that will keep me busy for balance of the year at the rate I work at.

Glad to hear everyone up north OK from storms, they did not look like fun.

Hideho Neighbors! Hope everyone is safe from the nasty storms. Spring is here in Turtle Valley, BC. Been busy with spring cleaning and trying to get some new kits out the door too! Here is a cool new test print of a pop machine with very clean, even lighting on front and side panels which I am very proud of after a number of attempts.

Have a great day everyone!

The machine is fantastic! And, my favorite drink.

Afternoon all, I check on my sister in Little Rock and all is well, no damage.
