Great work.  Especially the roof.

Morning all,

Cool story, Dave.  

Here it's headed to 75 degrees later.  Might do some outside clean up and take a walk later.

Morning all,

Might make it to 70 degrees here today.  Woke up to thunder at 0300.  Maybe storms later as well.

Lazy day as I worked yesterday and have the weekend as well.  At least it's my last weekend shift.

Morning all,

Headed to 53 degrees here today.  Nice visit with my brother yesterday, will take him out for lunch again today.

I don't believe I've ever built a kit where I didn't have to remove some of the bracing, usually due to my error.  You're making great progress.  Good luck with the surgery/recovery.

Morning all,

Cloudy with possible rain, high of 47 today.  

My brother is coming over today as he's dog sitting for his son who lives not far from here (my brother lives an hour away).  Need to clean up and run the layout in case he wants to see it.

Your builds are amazing, especially the coaling tower.

Morning all,

March is here.  We had snow late yesterday, a high of 47 today should get rid of what little accumulation there was.  

A trip to the grocery store later this morning.  

Here's a pic of a mass of narrow gauge tank cars.  Tankers are my favorite type of rolling stock.  I'm starting a Proto 2000 kit of one today.

Morning all,

Twenty two headed to thirty eight today.  Great picture Karl.

Worked yesterday, off today.  Nothing planned.

Thank you, Ron.  Tom's has the cool interior.  I'm too lazy (and have too much else to do) for that extra work.

Morning all,

Headed to 62 today.  Great, but a couple of days ago they were promising 72.  Liars!

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Pete.  A similar issue was fatal to my brother in law when he was about 50 years old.  He ignored it too long. 

Here a late start, slept late after working yesterday.  The twelve hour shifts are quite tiring.  Fortunately, only four left. 

We'll see what trouble I can get into today.

Great work, Dave.  I especially like the shingles.

Thanks for the kind words, Jerry.

Thanks, Mike.  Yes, the transfer tape works great for roofing.  It's the only way I even try to put on Campbell shingles.

Thanks, Mark.  I should go find my first wood kit.  A Campbell kit.  Hope my work and techniques are better now than 40 years ago.
