Howdy Tom, 

The steam pipes look fantastic and fragile. The protective addition is a good idea.  My experience at the Texas Western was damage by rug rats, handbags, and careless people who destroyed anything like that on the aisle.

Have fun,

Morning everyone

Tom thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
You takin a book so you can read while Pam has her hair done??

Curt have a nice day doing whatever comes up.

Rick that is one of the finest pictures I've seen!  Your skills are amazing.

Dave our Izzy wasn't to crazy about them either but there weren't to bad this year.

Larry nice score on the foam pieces.

Ron you look to have a busy Saturday!!

Weather in South Jersey sunny/74.  Later on 84.
It would be a great beach day but that will not happen until the idiots leave!!
So maybe some detail work.

Everyone have a great day!! 

Jerry

Howdy Larry,

The workshop looks great and should hide the seam.  The details and distractions are terrific.  Model on...

Have fun,
mike

Good morning folks,

TomACL, thanks for opening, coffee, and the western omelet.  Safe travels as a chauffeur.

Curt, wishing you a fantastic Saturday.

Rick, good luck at the MB dealer.  Love the photo, thanks.

Dave, glad your dogs didn't suffer from the fireworks.  Hope it isn't too hot for you.

Larry, congrats on the terrific score of green foam.

Ron, sounds like a perfect day.  

How is the rest of the gang?

It's a bright morning at 72°F, heading to 92°F.  The fireworks last night didn't scare Sweetie, but living near Atlanta, they scared me...

Yesterday I made good progress on the layout.  I finished with the heat gun, softening the foam edges and getting ready for Sculptamold.  First, I need to make the old Main Street road.

Have fun,
mike

Good morning from another great start to a Wisconsin Day. The internet bug seems to have eaten a few of my responses! Press post and poof, it's gone...

Just relaxing this weekend as the daughter's family are visiting an also recently moved neighbor. The daughter's house and this neighbor all sold on the 1st offers about a month apart. They were close friends and with the kids gone the house is quiet, just the way Terry and I like it. They will be back Monday.

We saw yesterday the movie F1 starring Brad Pitt. Enjoyable and pretty darn good. Our 1st movie since the Tuesday before Mr. Trump shutdown the USA in March of 2020. Before then we were going to the movies about for around 30 a year since retirement in 2014. Returning to see F1 IMOO was worth it.

We have no plans for today or tomorrow other than I am meeting up with the contractor at the daughter's new place at 8:30 this morning. The house is going great and no real issues. The place is about 3 months ahead of schedule and that's a good thing.

I plan to be on the south deck or north porch today until the 3pm predicted storms roll through. Then I will head to the bench to do a final matte clear coat on a diesel.

Enjoy the day

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

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Tom, enjoy your day with Pam.

Curt, Have a great day,

Rick, good luck with the oil change.  In the "Old" day I did all my own oil changes, today, I let someone else do them.  

Dave, I will say summer here is a lot cooler that it was in Florida, and I missed the worst part.

Larry, great find at the transfer station.

Jim, interesting changes you have planed for the engine house.

Currently 20C (68F) and sunny.  Got home from work a little later than usual and when I got home the Mrs wanted to go out for dinner, after discussing where we would go the grandson said he wanted pizza so we went to our favourate pizza place.  Needless to say it was another night I didn't make it to the basement.  Today's plan is to do some yard work, watch the F1 qualifying and then some modeling time.  But first it's time to take Gracie on a walk.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning,

Tom thanks for the coffee and cheesy eggs; can never have too much cheese. Enjoy your
outing with Pam; maybe even some bench time.

Curt all those critters must keep you hop'n. Hope your kit arrived soon.

Rick great photo. Yes the grilled meal was delicious a with minimal cleanup; made Ellie's day.
Generally animals don't respond well to fireworks; I can only imagine what they must be thinking.

Dave don't worry the white crap will be here soon enough.

What's going on.

It's a sunny 58 with a high of 88 in New York. Had a nice surprise yesterday. My neighbor was burning up some old wood and saw my pile of branches; he offered to throw them on his fire for me and of course I agreed. Saved myself some $ and some work. This am I went to the transfer station with my trash and while I was there a guy pulled in with construction stuff. I noticed he had some 1/2 inch green foam pieces so I asked if I could have them which he graciously gave me. There were about a dozen pieces most about 24x18 inches in size....score!!! They'll be great bases for dioramas. More outside work today so not sure about any bench time.

Have a great day!!! Be well and stay safe.
