Wow.  That's impressive.  I think the textured paper looks great.

Morning all.

We're supposed to get to 60 today with rain tonight.  Trip to PT this afternoon, otherwise nothing planned for today.

Jeff

Cool.  Will watch your progress with interest. 

Jeff

Morning all.

Slept very late after a not really busy day yesterday.  It's spring break here and I'm sure many people have gone out of town.  

Supposed to be windy and rainy here all day.  It looks like we're only on the edge of the severe stuff, hopefully it misses us.  

Will take the wife to PT at noon today as well.  Have a great day, folks.

Jeff

Top O' the Mornin' to ya,

It's spring break week here.  Spring like temps today (68).   Trip to PT for the wife later.  I'll put together a rolling tool rack later to get my drills and stuff off the floor.  Maybe some yard work today as well. 

Jeff

Great work on the trailers.  Yellow and silver are tough colors to get "right".  

Jeff

 Morning all.

Headed to 47 here today.  I need to go to the grocery store and pick up lunch somewhere this morning.  Otherwise, a lazy Sunday here.  

Jeff

Morning all.

Slept really late today, probably from the walk and outside work yesterday.  It was 83 yesterday, a new record. Today, back to a more normal 51. 

Need to do some cleaning upstairs today, we'll see if I get to the FSM kit at all.

Jeff

Shays are so cool.  Many years ago I got to see one operating here in Iowa at a Festival called the Old Thresher's reunion.  They have some narrow gauge engines and trolleys on their grounds.  I think they traded the Shay off years ago.  

Jeff

Morning all.

Sunny and we're supposed to break 80 degrees today.  

My wife has her post op appointment with the orthopedist and then PT.  I need to go to the Credit Union today as well.  Maybe I'll wash the car today since it's going to be so nice outside. 

Jeff

Another wonderful build, Tom.  Interesting that you had to detail all sides as it's visible from both sides of the peninsula. 

Jeff

The soap company looks great.  I'll have to try the paint/water putty technique.  Thanks for that.  

Jeff

Morning all.

Another nice day here, high to 67.  Monday we broke 70 and I managed to pick up sticks and tree debris in the yard.  

Not much going on kit wise.  Between my appointments and my wife's PT (and hair cut today),  too much outside activities.  

Jeff

Morning all.

Sunny and supposed to get to 63 today.  May need to take the dog for a walk.  Only able to do about 5 minutes on the elliptical, being out of shape and my knee issues are limiting that.  I'll just do several short bursts to build up.  

Hope to get back to the kit build today, we'll see. 

Jeff

Nice scene.  Good to see a Rock Island layout.  I live in Iowa City, Iowa and the Rock Island came through here.  Now it's the Iowa Interstate.
