Morning all,

Headed to the mid 80s today.  

Small progress on the kit, otherwise a lazy day yesterday.  We'll see what today brings. 

A classic P-51 from the airshow.

Sure do love the P-51.  I have a pro-built model of one on my dresser.  I see a B model with red tail, Tuskeegee like, in the background.  Much more rare to see.  I've seen one like that in MI some years ago.

Nice weather on tap in Michigan today, 60o going to upper 70s.  No rain until the Fri-Saturday time frame.

Morning Dr.Jeff, Karl and others. Lotsa rain forcasted for the day today which we are in dire need of.  Spent a fair amount of time at the bench yesterday  mostly trying to locate the pieces and parts for the many half built projects I have to finish. I did use super glue and putty, so I felt I did make progress.

Morning all,

I did spend some time at the workbench yesterday. Cleaned up and primed the parts for a small FOS freebie and a number of 3D printed figures. Maybe I'll continue painting the figures after lunch and my PT exercises.

Have a great one!

Muggy and light rain in SE NH.  Rain will turn heavy, we could get as much as 2" (much needed.)  I did generate some steam today, started on a coaling dock to go by my turntable/switcher house.  That'll be a good break from scenery....

Bob, is your PT helping?  I'm still doing nightly PT for the sore hip.  I'm not cured, but the PT keeps it from getting worse, so it's just annoying, rather than actually painful.
