Good morning Larry, Rick, Dave, Karl, ACLTom and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Larry, hope you can get the outside work done before the rain starts.

Rick, enjoy the hot springs.

Dave, interesting geological lesson there.

Karl, enjoy working on the railroad today.

ACLTom, good luck bowling and enjoy the late lunch with your friends.

Philip, hope you are feeling better.

Currently 70F and sunny here.  No modeling last night as I watched the hockey game.  Montreal lost in overtime so they are still 1 point away locking it in.  A win or tie in there last game or a Columbus loss or tie  gets them in.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning Rick, Dave, Jerry, Mike, Karl, ACLTom and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick, the way things are going McLaren is the team to beat this year.  Have fun exploring today.

Dave, hope the roofing goes well for you today.

Jerry, have fun spreading the mulch.

Mike, hope you get time at the bench after cleaning the car.

Karl, the station is coming along great.

ACLTom, have fun in the train shed.

Currently 71F and sunny here.  Didn't make it to the beach or bench yesterday.  It was cool till mid-afternoon and by then I had found other distractions. 8)   Will probably watch the hockey game tonight, If Montreal beats Chicago tonight they are officially in the playoffs.

Have a great day everyone.

Mike,

Really nice job on the freight cars and your right, the flatcar does look odd without the break wheel.

It's looking great.

Good morning Rick, Larry, ACLTom, James, Dave and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick.  Yes the qualifying was interesting, should be an interesting race today.  Enjoy your day relaxing.

Larry, have fun with the scenery work.

ACLTom, we all have those days in the layout room, hopefully today will be more productive.

James, enjoy your day.

Dave, enjoy the concert.

Karl, hope the station building is going well.

Philip, belated Happy Anniversary.

Mike, back in the day when I modeled in N scale I built a lot of building and rolling stock in styrene I never had a need for using wood in modeling.  I did a few craftsman wood kit in N scale but preferred styrene.  When I switched to On30 I started building more in wood and found that I really like the medium and is mow my preferred building material of choice.

Currently 51F and sunny here and I've been busy.  Grocery run is done and the second load of wash is on.  Next up is to watch the race and maybe hit the beach id the weather warms up enough.  If not there could be bench time in the near future.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning Larry, ACLTom, Rick, Curt and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Larry, Hope Ellie likes the apartment.

ACLTom, have fun in the shed

Rick, will be flying home, 1288 miles is beyond my driving thresh hold for trips home. ;D

Curt, I also hate flying but consider it a necessary evil.

Mike, all those baby steps add up in a hurry.

Jerry, are we ready for an update soon?

It's a cool 54F and sunny here in northern Florida.  Not sure what tonight will bring, maybe some bench time after I watch the qualifying for the F1 race.

Gave a great day everyone.

Good morning Curt, ACLTom, Larry, Rick, Karl, James and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and bagel Curt, great news about your father.

ACLTom, take it easy with the yard work, you will want lots of energy when you make it to the bench later today.

Larry, have fun at the bench (if you make it there).

Rick, seeing as I'm going home next weekend, I'll bring back what I need.  Enjoy your hike with Star.

Karl, that pictures looks cold, nice shot.

James, great looking shop, with trains in it to boot.

Currently 65F and slightly haze here.  I decided that I'll finish up the Reeds bookstore kit till I get back from being home where I can bring back the supplies I need to finish Rexall Drugs.  Not shore how much of an interior it will get as it is down the street.  Will have to set it in place and check out the sight lines.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Curt and Rick.

Going to  keep this short as it is meeting day, my least productive day of the week.

Currently 64F and hazy herein upper Florida.  I'm a bit at a standstill with the Rexall Drug interior as I"m missing supplies.  I'm going home for a week on the 19th so I might just wait till then and move on to another building in the mean time.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning Curt, Larry, Jerry, ACLTom, Rick, TomO, Karl and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and bagel Curt.

ACLTom, congrats to the Gators.

Currently 58f and cloudy here.  I can tell I've been here too long already as I'm finding 58F to be cold, like sweater weather. :o   It's better than at home where the Mrs is telling me it's looking like Christmas again.  No modeling last night but I have decided that I'll be leaving the shades alone, in the grand scheme of things It won't really be noticed with all the other light being installed in town.  Detailing the interior of the drugstore should be interesting as I have very limited modeling supplies on hand and Jacksonville doesn't seem to have any hobby shops in town.  Might have to do some online ordering.

Have a great day everyone.

Henderson is progressing well. The window light boxes are a clever addition. It's easy to forget this is tiny N scale.

Have fun,
mike
Thanks Mike,  It's just like modeling in O scale except everything is 4x smaller. ;)

Henderson is looking great. Every city/town should have a Woolworth store. Looks great.

Tom
Thanks Tom,

When I was growing up the was a Woolworth in every town/city (I think I'm getting old).


Woolworth and McCrorys!
Never heard of McCrorys in Canada.
