Morning all,

Sunny and a high of 73 today.  Maybe a walk later.  

I did get the backdrops ordered, hope to get to Lowe's today for the matching sky blue paint.

Morning Jeff 

Sunny here in South Jersey 53.  Later on 63.
Should be a nice day here today.

Hopefully after the usual chores I'll get some bench time in.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

Cool and sunny  8)  in Michigan     

We started out early and I'm in the waiting room while the Doll is having her left eye fixed. They called us early and had us hurry in. I anticipate being ready in short time. Then we'll have to head to Lansing for a re-check appointment this afternoon.

The rest of the day will be chilling out.

Plenty of chores to do at home.

Be well all.

Morning all,

Best of luck to the Doll, Karl! Hope all goes smoothly.

Jeff, those backdrops add a really nice touch to the Empire. Love it!

This morning I scheduled my first appointment with the Orthopedic guy. I'll see him in a couple of weeks and then we'll go from there.

I've been plugging away on a little FOS freebie and plan to do more of the same today while I ponder what my next big project will be.

Have a great one!

My first eye is in 10 days.  I should start practicing doing eye drops...

Yesterday I dug out the Ball Signal controller, and it's not working.  I think it's because I screwed up when soldering the parts.  And I noticed that the Signal itself should really be redone.  So I guess that'll be on my list of things to tackle.  Instead, I'm painting the cliffs behind the "3 bridges" part of the layout.  That takes a sharp brush and a steady hand.

Afternoon all,

Jeff, what a fantastic looking layout. There is a lot going on in that space. Is it your layout? I need to get off my rear and order my backdrops.

Karl, I hope the Doll eye surgery went well and that she is feeling no pain. Hope you are chilling as well.

I edged and cut the grass today and it was hot!

hope all are having a great day.

Tom
