Title: May the 4th be with you!

May the 4th be with you!

Sunday morning greetings from Starbase 23 in mid MI.   8) Morning sun and afternoon showers, 400 headed to ~600 with a stiff breeze up to 25-30 per

Corn bread is in the oven and the cook ready to lay in some eggs as you wish.  Sausage and bacon are ready with biscuits and gravy as well.  Hot Millenium Falcon Coffee and Vader's taters ready.  The Replicator has buttons for the soft drink of your choice, Diet Pepsi for the FL crew, Diet Doc P for Starbase Wisc and Diet Coke here.  It's a bit early but there is a bottle of Kentucky Derby Bourbon over in the corner if you looks.  What a mud fest the race was.

Little to add here, I did some work on the layout and then beamed out for a turn on the mowing machine.

What's got y'alloccupied today?

Morning Karl and others,

Thanks for breakfast and Diet Pepsi. Great combo for breakfast.

Its overcast and rainy here so my decision to not cut the grass proved to be a good one.

I'm still decluttering but at least I got the west side cleaned up.

Have a great day ya'll.

Morning all.

Will mow later today though the promised 70+ degrees is now downgraded to high 60s.  Did a bit of work on the kit yesterday, will hopefully do a bit more today.

Good morning, Karl, Tom, Jeff and later arrivals. The NH seacoast has thick overcast and drizzle this morning. We're told to expect gray, cool and damp all week.  Our wheat field is starting to green up and the lawn will be pretty tall by the time weather allows mowing.

Once I shut off the computer I'll finish cleaning up after the operating sessions, then address the punch list.

Good morning from a wet Tidewater Virginia.  I'm going to run to the club to do some touchup work on some Hydrocal rocks.  They are located on the front of the layout and some of the paint has been rubbed off.

We had a line of thunderstorms roll through about 4:00 yesterday, it's A Good Thing our Scotch Club wasn't scheduled to meet this weekend.  Neighbors who have fertilizer service will have to start mowing once the rain stops (which is supposed to be next Sunday.)  It's a fun time of year, every day you can see significant changes from the previous day.   

Yesterday I did the shingles for the warehouse.  Today I'll do the ridgepole and finish assembling the roof (gluing the bracing/formers into position underneath.)  Then it'll be the usual post-project pick-up/put-away.

Morning all,

Yesterday I added a bunch of pictures to my gallery. Maybe I'll make use of them later on an update one build thread and start another. Otherwise workbench time on the horizon.

Have a great one!
