Morning all.

Slept quite late after a busy work day yesterday, but now I have a four day weekend.  I'll get back to the FSM kit, maybe today.  

Grocery store run planned for later this morning.  We're going to get to maybe 50 degrees today before going back in the freezer phase next week.

Morning all.

Six cool degrees here this morning.  I'm heading out for a haircut this morning.  Otherwise a lazy hump day in between my two work days this week.

Morning all.

It's 6 degrees F here this morning.  Fortunately, with an electric vehicle, I can preheat it in the garage.   :)  I have a trip to the dentist this morning and if I live through that the rest of the day is unplanned.  I've cleaned off the bench and can see the FSM kit in it's state of incompletion.  Will I get back to it today?

Interesting thread.  I have two table saws, but I wouldn't say I'm "comfortable" with them.  I really like the Sawstop, if I were getting a new saw, I'd buy one.  Very clever design. I have seen many finger/hand injuries from table saws.

Morning all.

Cool wharf, Matt.   Another cold day here, we might get to the freezing mark.  No plans for today but the FSM kit keeps staring at me to get back to working on it.

Perhaps the orange  rust is a bit too prominent.  I'm copying your instructions as I've never weathered a tank car and yours looks pretty darn good.

Morning all.

Tiring day at work yesterday, slept in today.  Nothing planned for hump day, we'll see if I get back to the FSM kit.

Morning all.

In the teens here with slight warming later.  At least the bad stuff seems to be south of us.  Trip to the lawyer (contractor issue) and grocery store this morning on tap. 

Watched football yesterday, the stupid Patriots can't even lose when they need to in order to improve the team. 

No work on the FSM kit over the last couple of weeks and not a lot of desire to get back to it yesterday, we'll see how today goes.

Morning all.

Ten degrees here this morning and not going to get much warmer.  All our visitors have left and it's quite here today.  I'm a bit sore from my first day back to work, but it went OK.  Maybe I'll get back to the FSM kit today, we'll see.  Good to see we're picking up some new members on the forum.

Morning all,

Twenty seven degrees and snowing here.  One to four inches predicted.  This is my last day off work, need to return tomorrow.   :P  At least they changed my lifting restriction from 10 to 25 pounds.  Now I can shovel, darn  it.

Morning all,

Happy New Year!

It's been a busy few days here with the grandkids.  Many trains have been run.  A few glitches,  a dead yard track, a broken coupler, etc,  but no major layout issues.

Hoping everyone has a healthy and happy new year.

Morning all. 

Doug, that could be the world's largest modeling workbench.   ;D

Yesterday was grocery shopping day and a trip to Costco which was a zoo.  Cleaning the house today and tomorrow in preparation of the children/grandchildren arriving over the next few days. 

One more day of being good before Santa comes.
