Was able to enjoy catching up on your build tonight Tom, really enjoyable watching you work and seeing your methods. Not sure I would have the patience to make stringers though!

Love the coffee, thanks! My Pacifica also has the space to get 4 x 8 sheets in it BUT NOT as nice as that Expedition does! Well off to the doctor, I did something to my right foot last week and it is getting worse not better so a Saturday visit, great!

Good Morning;
A fun day or me today. Wife is out with girl friends and I am at a stage o my latest model where the fun begins, does not get much better than that. Oh, did I mention it is cold out? Therefore I must stay in (darn) and have a second cup of coffee. Hope everyone has a great day.

January 16, 2025, 11:46:32 AMQuote from: TomO/Tloc on January 16, 2025, 08:28:56 AMGood morning from the wilds of So. Central Wisconsin where the miserable chilly weather might become a day for shorts. It is +16f degrees heading to 35. The cool temperatures return on Saturday.Tom;
We needs food and drinks! The coffee is the ever faithful Ashpit blend. Teas, milk, juices and sodas are in the cooler. You'll have to make your own hot chocolate. The food today is an English Muffin with grilled ham or bacon, a hard fried egg and cheeses of choice.
Today is a day of rest from looking for a new vehicle. I have been searching since New Years to beat the rush of tariffs. We started out with cars but Terry and I both came to the realization that a compact SUV would be best for us. This week we've tested 9 vehicles and nothing has tripped the trigger. Today I will be in the train room
Have a great day
TomO
My bride and I just bought a new car the Pacifica by Chrysler. Trust me I am no Chrysler fan but it appears they got this one right. This will be the second we owned. The first one had all the whistles and bells that we found we rarely if ever used. This one is the so called 'select' model, seats (except driver) are manual but it has the active noise canceling system which makes it as quiet if not more so than the various Lexus I owned most of my business career. What I love about them is you fold the seats into floor and you can stuff sheets of 4 x 8 plywood in back. We paid $37,000 out the door with a $13,000 trade in on the 7 year old Pacifica we had with about 80,000 miles on it. If I was a better negotiator I am sure I could have got perhaps another 500- 1000 off. Car has no navigation but carplay connects with your phone using bluetooth automatically which works a lot better anyhow. Worth a look if you haven't seen them. Weakest link is transmission, always has been so get warranty on it. After 70,000 miles we were feeling car shift more, same as other old Chryslers I drove in past. Happy hunting.

Good Afternoon Everyone;
It is chilly out today that is or sure. Good day to work on the bench, which I am doing. I am currently designing some warehouse reight doors that will be made of resin for the frame and engraved wood or the actual doors. Looking orward to see how it comes together.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning Folks;
TomO, sounds like you are dealing with a lot hope Terry can make that show with you. As for myself it should be a slow day. While the temp outside is not to bad at 60 degrees (15.5C to the vast majority of the world) it is cloudy and rather damp. Plan to clean the work area and either work on my flour mill project or do some computer design work for the rolling bridge project. Suspect a nap in afternoon will happen as well. So no complaints and hope everyone has a great day.
The photo of the day is a 1900 Arch light. I like to collect these photos for ideas on my projects, you never know when you might use it and they sure give a flavor for the time.

Aternoon everyone;
I missed breakfast but have another pot of coffee on if anyone needs a cup. It was good news to hear about possible life extension of the RR-Line, hopefully it will get another sponsor and keep going. The knowledge these forums provide just can't be duplicated in other media systems like Facebook.
Matt that is a very impressive diorama. Please make another and enter it in the Winter Challenge contest. You obviously have mad skills you can share.
It is obvious the people in CA really need the nations help. I know Florida has already reached out and asked how can we help. I am sure the rest of the states are doing so as well. It is times like these that we show the world what we as a country are made of. Being an American comes with a lot of responsibility, it is times like this when we have to shoulder it. We may argue among ourselves but if part of our country is in trouble we all are and respond to help. Prayers for the people having to directly deal with this disaster. As for the rest of us, time to help.

Also some constructive changes are in the works. Good news for some old RRLF members.John welcome to the Forum and sorry you ran into issues in navigating through the site. We intentionally tried to keep it using the KISS principle but working with new systems can be frustrating. Hope you stay and get to know us better. Bernd did a great job describing the avatar issue but if you run into other bottlenecks just reach out to me here at the Forum or e mail me directly at cirrusmisty@gmail.com and I will see what I can do to help.
While I am glad the Modelers Forum exists, I find it hard to use. I have spent over 3 hours just trying to attach my avatar. I finally just gave up.
Take care....John
Thanks

Had some early errands and maybe some modeling time shortly. This afternoon the driveway needs to cleaned out yet again. Greg thanks for opening and breakfast.Hi Larry;
Not sure how things work here so I thought I'd ask. I have my layout thread started but since most of my structures are scratch built, should I do the builds in that section then show the final pics in my layout thread? Thanks in advance.
Tom nice weathering and Doug nice photo. Have a great day. Keep warm and be well.
Usually the individual builds are posted in that type of project area, in this case scratch build structures, then the complete pictures can be shown of in your layout thread. So, that is a long winded way to say yep, your idea works great!
