Rick have a nice day hiking.  And no more mornings without pictures!!  ;)

Larry good luck making it to the bench.

Morning Dave.

TomO try to enjoy the movie!

Karl sorry to hear about the cat.

Ron I saw your latest update nice work.

Weather in South Jersey is sunny/22.  Later on 33.
It is so slippery here I can't believe the lousy job they did plowing this time.
We have to go out and get some ice melt for the walkways and driveway before somebody slips and brakes there a*s!

If I only could get more time at the bench I might be able to show something!!  :(
Between that and my fingers not working worth a dam!!

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

I believe that this wonderful diorama is by Gil Flores. It shared the table with my work at MARPM in the fall.

Ok, I'm back to posting.  A couple weeks ago, a post really angered me, and I decided it was time to step away for a while.  (I still read posts and did my moderator duties.)  

The Machine Shop project is almost done, I'll post some updates in the next couple of days.

Karl, sorry to hear about your cat.

Jeff, we preemptively replaced our water heater last year.  It was a conventional propane tank, we went with a tankless heater.  That should last longer, and we don't have to worry about running out of hot water.  (Running out of gas is a whole 'nuther issue.)  It does take a bit longer for the hot water to come out, but the savings in propane seem to be significant.  (I don't have enough data to really 'measure' but my gut says our propane use may be down by 1/3, since we're only using propane when we actually need hot water, or for cooking...)

Modeling Wizardry / UV colored printer
Last post by Bernd - Today at 09:43:55 AM
Looks like UV (ultra violet) printing is just around the corner.


And the Kick Starter web site selling the printer.

I see a potienial here for a kit maker. With a laser and this printer one could print bill board refer cars or any wood side car with a finished paint job and weathered to. No more need for paint and air brush. Sames goes for buildings.

Good morning Philip, Curt, ACLTom, Mike, Rick, Larry, Dave, TomO, Karl and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Philip, Nice shed you have there.

ACLTom, hope your thread issue gets resolved.

Karl, sorry to hear about your cat, it is never easy to lose a beloved pet.

Have to keep it short as I have a busy day.  Current temperature is -7c (20f) and sunny.  No modeling last night as 1:1 stuff ate up my time, we shall see what tomorrow brings.

Have a great day everyone.

Sun is showing this morning,  8) with temps in the teens rising to the low-mid 30s.

Sad day yesterday, cancelled my ops trip and accompanied the Doll to the vet's with her cat that has been battling an insipid infection since around labor day.  We consulted with the vet about the lack of improvement and made the difficult decision to relieve her from the burden and had her put to sleep.  Not an easy thing to do.

I've an Rx to fetch today and may run the truck "through the wringer" as one of the Doll's garage customers used to refer to the carwash.  It's certainly well coated with dried salt.

Bench time later, maybe.

Philip, great looking little building.  I love little buildings.  btw, are you building the 20 mule team?  I've picked up and set back down those kits several times over the years...what scale does that approximate?

Well, time to move along, oatmeal is about ready.

Be well all

Rx to fetch sometime is about it.

Good morning from Wisconsin. 14f degrees now and 38 later, a nice warm for a Tuesday.

I should get some bench time in. Spent almost 2.5 cutting lumber for frames yesterday at the friend's house. I cut and he assembled. They are laid out on top of the 1st deck and will be fitted to create the 2nd deck at Wednesday's work session. That will be the last work session for me for 2025 unless I do something to my layout/diorama. It's been a good year with 24 Ops sessions with one more to finish the year on Saturday. Tomorrow's work session will be #41 for the year. It's been a good time.

I had for the 3rd drawing in a row only 1 number in the Powerball drawing. I buy 5 lines

It is movie day but I just looked over the choices and if Terry really wants to go I'll go but...

Enjoy the day
