Howdy.

I found a really interesting vehicle in my photos from the narrow gauge convention in Pittsburgh a couple of years back.

The weekend is almost here.

Later.

Good morning.  Looks like sometype of a well drilling rig Jaime. Pretty cool. Spent time doing some detail painting on the lobster boat yesterday afternoon.

Good Morning;

Very neat vechicle and great photos. Woke up to warm weather of course. The pool is at the top meaning we got four inches last night. So will need to lower the level today. Otherwise everything good in Central Florida. 

Have a great day.

Jaime, that's a Keystone Drilling Rig.  I think that was on a layout tour, I remember seeing that model "on location" during layout tours at an NMRA regional convention about 15 years ago.  And that's the critter that is in the Como Roundhouse that Rick captured a couple weeks back.  

Sunny nice day in store in SE NH.  Chance of some showers tonight.  

Down to the layout room in a bit.  Didn't get down there yesterday, but I did do some reading about Lightburn laser design/cutting software, while I contemplate buying a laser cutter.

Morning all,

Sunny and headed to 84 later.  The humidity is down to 74%.  

Dog walking duties continue.  She took two very long walks yesterday, though I thought I might have to carry her at the end of them as she tired out.  

Hopefully some layout work/planning later.

50s overnight, Maybe 70 later.  8)

Neat vehicle Jaime. The well driller for my home used a similar type of machine on a truck,  slowly pounding away.

Zero to add
