Morning all. The postal service has been busy the past couple days delivering model supplies as i get geared up to start making a serious effort into my building of models. I need  to visit the dentist this morning  and put a couple hours at the cemetery before I can start.😅 Sometimes using my phone to photograph models at George's can be a challenge..

Good morning, Dan and later arrivals. I've put a bowl of Yellow Transparent apples on the counter, with muffins, bread, jam, butter, PB etc. for a cold breakfast.  The urn is warming up.  You can tell I'm a New Englander, I leave the butterdish on the table day in, day out.

The sun was well up when I got up this morning, mid-70s headed for mid-80s on the NH seacoast.  Two days at Seashore was enough this week, we leveled, ballasted and tamped an easy part, and I got a good start on the next easy part yesterday afternoon.,  Today is paperwork, a trip to the bank and some pruning around the house.

One of my dogs is at the vet today, dental work, x-rays and ultrasound.  The other dog is not happy, either.  

I did some more forestry yesterday, and will probably continue that today.

CLEAR Air, Sun  8) and pleasant temps in Mid lower Michigan this morning.  Temp still in the 60s!
Air quality GREEN in low double digits after 600+ a week ago. 

Had the first sweetcorn of the summer last evening, mmm...

Great breakfast offering, James.

Raymo, your photo looks good on the giant monitor, especially if it is a phone shot.

Not really "layout work" but I'm boxing up a bunch of unbuilt kits I'm selling...I will promptly spend the proceeds at the Narrow Gauge Convention in September. 

...paying it forward  ;D

Think of that as 'reinvesting'...

Afternoon all,

Just finished the exercises that physical therapy wants me to do. The app they have me using shows videos of the exercises and says it's a 29 minute session. Not quite. Takes me two hours and I'm no where near as flexible as the people in the videos.  :P

Slowly making progress at the workbench. I hope to continue that trend later on today. 

Have a great one!
