Morning all,

Raining here and headed to 83 degrees.  Working on the details the the FSM kit.  Barrels are NOT my favorite item to paint.  Maybe a trip to the grocery store later, possibly a walk and mowing if it dries out.

Here's one of the main items I wanted to win at the auction.  It's a brass CB&Q stock car.  these came out a few years ago for over $300 apiece which I thought was nuts.  A couple of years ago, I won one on ebay for $150, but  the #*@! post office lost it in the mail.  There were six of these on auction, I bid on all of them (I was working, so I had to pre bid), and I won this one. 

Typical auction, I really only wanted this car and a couple of GP7s that were offered.  You saw last week what I came home with.  :o

Good morning everyone.

I'm half way to Cascade, ID where it's a lot cooler than in Boise.

Have a great day everyone.

Well, it's more humid than yesterday, but still sunny.  Chance of thunderboomers in the afternoon.  Wife wants to eat out for breakfast, which means I have shave  >:(

When I get back, more work on the machine shop.  Progress on this is really slow...

Hazy bright  8) after fog earlier.  Temp just crossed over into the 60s.

Rain much of yesterday allowed me to spend some time on a building kit I brought.

Plans unmade at this hour. 


Enjoy the day, all!

KS

Thanks for opening, Jeff

Morning all. I had to replace my 10 year old Kyocera phone with a new Samsung S 25. I was having a problem with the USB port on the old phone and charging it was a problem.  The heat and humidity knocked the crap out of me this week, so not much was done after I got out of work. I really need to figure out when in the next year I want to retire.

Afternoon all,

Just lounging around today. Still kind of wore out from all the driving the last two days. Hope to get back on track tomorrow. 

Have a great one!
