Good Morning,

Thank you Ron, Jerry, Mike, Mark, Rick, and Larry for following along and your very kind words.

Mark they are indeed 1x12's. You have a good eye.

I have been continuing to work on the walls since the last update. I have more detail work to do on the side wall's before the walls get glued together.

Good Morning;

Rick thanks for opening. It appears lots going on today. My better half is taking me to the movies later and we are heading to the chop house for dinner afterwards. 

I have been slowly working on the pickle factory scratch build. For some reason I got a bug to build a true wood ladder made of 2 x 12 uprights and 2 x8 steps. It had to have the 25% step angle found on most ladders and the wood had to go in the right direction. I know, rivet counting in HO scale. I made a jig using the 3D printer and think I got it. So I did the same for the wood staircase. 

Hope everyone has a great day.

Jim

James didn't mention the wind here today.  A dead pine tree blew down last night, that thump got our attention.  The wind helps keep the bugs away, so that's an advantage.  Once again, our neighborhood was on the edge of a storm that rolled through yesterday afternoon (about the time Scotch Club would have convened if it hadn't been cancelled.)  So we got some rain, more wind, but not what they got in the next town north.

Smoke is back... :'( after a relatively pleasant, if hot, day yesterday.  Will stick close to inside much of the day but need  to put some efforts toward finding and removing a SOB groundhog digging like crazy.

It's breezy in SE NH, and we had a dead pine fall down in the back yard.  Now I need to find someone with a chainsaw to cut it up and remove it.  

Yesterday I did some 'forestation' and posted on my build thread.  Today I'll look at the result, and then probably organize stuff to do "production scale" activities this week.  But at 3:00, I'll stop for the World Cup.  I didn't watch yesterday's game (but had a running discussion with a friend who did watch.)  The only thing I got right in my prediction was that France would score 4 goals.  (I was predicting France 4-2 England.)  My prediction for today is Spain 1-0 Argentina.  My alternate prediction is Argentina 3-1 Spain.  It all depends on whether Spain can shut down Messi.

Hi Tom, your sidewall adjusted skylights now look the way they should.
I must have done the same thing with mine, I just can't remember that.
By the way, I do indeed play the lottery weekly.
However my numbers still haven't paid off. :(
