Good Morning and Happy Turkey Day from the northeast corner of Massachusetts. I'm not cooking today so I'll stay out of the kitchen. Tomorrow I'll sneak out and visit George and the F&SM

Good morning  Dr. Jeff and all that follow.  Ned to take ma to a Dr. appointment later ,so I took the day off. I think some organizing is in order to get ready for winter projects. A New England farm sign I found on the interwebs.

Morning James, Dave and others that follow. Saturday, one of the larger train clubs in the area had their fall flea market to unload donations to the club. Mostly freight cars and locomotives, they did have a couple tables of building kits. A handful of South River kits for reasonable prices, a few Fos kits, and some miscellaneous kits from some other manufacturers. I found buried in between  some Walthers kits a Fos Scale Canal St. and Third that was marked down to $200. I don't need anymore kits but I grabbed it for that price. Off to practice at being retired, DR

Morning. One of the kitchen staff made a huge pan of cinnamon rolls this morning for those that need  a sugar rush this morning.  For those of us that need to watch the mid section, the standard fair for breakfast is available. Took the day off, plan on doing some modeling and yard work today.

Morning all. I did get some detail parts painting done yesterday.  It also got real humid before the skies unloaded in the afternoon.  For all the talk of high winds and tornadoes, I didn't experience anything but heavy rain and distance thunder. I guess one did touch down near Springfield. Photo is B&M piggyback loading near Boston.

Morning. Breakfast is 2 Eggs anyway you want it , any meat, and toast. Plan is to haul some brush to the town yard before the big rain event later today. Ma's back in rehab so I've been cleaning up projects on the bench and painting little detail parts.

Morning.  These photos popped up on one of my Facebook pages this morning.  Must have been the photos ol' Jimmy D used for the design of the kit. The building stood in East Jamaica  Vermont. On another note, i made the decision to stay at my job  till August of next year and I will retire after 38 years. I'll look for another job  with a little less work load after that. Raymo

Morning all. I had to replace my 10 year old Kyocera phone with a new Samsung S 25. I was having a problem with the USB port on the old phone and charging it was a problem.  The heat and humidity knocked the crap out of me this week, so not much was done after I got out of work. I really need to figure out when in the next year I want to retire.

Morning. Last day of my 4 day weekend. It's hot and humid here in the northeast corner of Massachusetts. A few errands and checking over some mail, and then I'll stay close to the bench.

Morning again forum crowd. Made it through yesterday with 10 fingers still attached. Not because of fireworks but from using hedge trimmers, lopping shears, and small cutters, cutting down the rest of my hedge. It's all loaded up for a trip to the town yard for disposal.

Morning. A quiet cool 4th of July here in on the banks of the Merrimack. Windows are open, and the AC is getting to take a break. Too nice to be inside, I'll work outside today.

Morning. It's getting hot here in the N/E corner of Mass. Maybe the milk truck will come by and I can get a chunk of ice out of the back...
