Title: August 30, 2025

Good Morning;

I will turn the lights on in the clubhouse, get the coffee on and open the windows, though it is gray an muggy outside today here in Florida. So the picture of the day is Franklin, my buddy asking what are we doing today? He loves to play, sit on laps and treats. He is not much into modeling but sits in his blanket next to my chair while I am working.

The wife is off with her friends so morning is mine. Plan to do some scenery work on layout while she is out. Hope everyone has a great day.

Jim

Nice modeling buddy, Jim.  One of my dogs will come down and sit with me when I'm doing research, but he insists I have to be on the couch with him.  

Great weather today, so I'll head down to the train room  :D

8) Sun and a bit of steam on the punkin' patch in Michigan this morning. Made it on time to OPS at Keeney's this morning. I'm waiting for that yard to prep a local to run.

The corn is about 10-12 feet tall, with some roads in the country almost like a tunnel with corn right to the edge of the travel portion.

Still waiting on my local.

Afternoon all,

Jim, give Franklin a scratch behind the ears and tell him he's a good boy for me.  :)

Think I'll spend some time at the workbench this afternoon. I'm in the closing stages of the Gunsmith shop but it's taking me forever to get across the finish line.  ::)

Have a great one!
