Morning all,

Brrr.  It's five degrees with a high of nine today.  The "real feel" is below zero, AND it's snowing.   :P  We're supposed to get three more inches of snow.   I can't wait to go shovel that in the freezing cold.  

Got several 1:1 things done yesterday (including shoveling).  Need to remove a section of the layout over the weekend so the plumber can access the water heater Monday.  My wife thinks the water isn't hot enough.  

I bought some thin nylon washers to try a fix from MRH magazine on the Walther's streamline cars to see if it will prevent them from constantly derailing.  

Jerry, the pictures are not my models, I'm not that skilled.  They are from the contest room at the Narrow Gauge Convention.  Here's a cool boat from the contest.

Good morning everyone.

47 now and sunny and 78 later today here in AZ.

Jeff, I always enjoy the photos you post.

Only thing planned for today is spending time playing with the grandkids.

Have a great day everyone.

160 and snowing, it looks on the radar like Lake Effect.  Didn't listen to the forecast for details on amount.  Hopefully it remains light.

Getting around and ready to head to the Division mtg this afternoon.  It's being held in 'near'by Charlotte rather than 30 miles to the East in not so near Okemos. 

Enjoy the day everyone

Morning all,

Great picture, Jeff!

I'm not sure what's on the agenda today. My better half is going to a friend's house for a cookie baking session. Junior is heading down to SeaWorld with some friends. Guess I'll spend some time at the workbench.

Have a great one!

Good evening, Jeff, Rick, Karl and Bob.  The NH seacoast got sun today, but only got a degree or two above freezing in the afternoon.  No modeling today, spent most of it at my desk handwriting holiday cards for Seashore and studying ways of dealing with Friday's switch trouble.

A little snow forecast overnight and tomorrow, but not so much as to consume the morning.
