Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Curt, Have fun working on the kit.

Larry, hope you make it to the bench today.

Dave, I feel you pain regarding the vet bill, With Gracie's issues and operation, it was a very costly month for us too.  :o

Mike, looking forward to your Model T update.

Tom, hope you make it to the bench today.

Philip, that episode sounds interesting, will have to check it out.

Karl, hope the decal job goes well.

Jerry, who knows, maybe today is the day you get to the bench.  ;D

Bernd, thanks for the link to the video.

Current weather is 18c (65f), partly cloudy with no rain in the forecast for a change.  ;D

So, I have an open house to prepare for coming up in mid October and there is a 12"dia hole in the yard at Mara where a turntable used to be.  I need to rectify that before the open house.  I have on my shelves a turntable kit that my gave me for my birthday a few years ago but due to my past work travel schedule haven't had a chance to build yet.  So last night, I took it off the shelf, dusted it off and opened the lid.  I even started a build thread.  ;D

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning from a nice day in Wisconsin. We should top out around 75f degrees this afternoon.

No real scheduled plans. The ears were lowered at 9am and Terry is going at 11 and her hair maybe very short upon returning. She has been complaining the last month the hair is too long.

I am waiting for the Thermacells I ordered to test out in mosquito heaven. Amazon says today which really  means tomorrow. The big River is getting as bad as our Postal Service has become

Enjoy the day
TomO

Jerry asked:
Karl why you changing the name on the diesel???


Unit I purchased was lettered for the CNJ, in a shade of Green that is extremely close to my home road, Kentucky Southern, so I removed the yellow CNJ logos and replaced them with my logo.  Fairly easy job as the only CNJ markings were on the cab side no where else.  Easier than strip to bare and repaint, something I like less and less.

Road # is going to be removed and replaced by KYSO Grand Central numbers, number boards to remain 2403
