Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 5

We got almost an inch of rain yesterday, much needed and appreciated.  Cloudy today, chance of showers all day.

One dog is at the vet, dental work and some diagnostics.  Neighbor is getting some trees taken down, I spoke sternly to the one truck driver who was backing up with a trailer, and no ground guide.  (When I was in the Army, that was an automatic Article 15 Non-Judicial Punishment act.)  So lots of noise and the occasional thump.  I'll sit with the other dog for a while, then head downstairs for exercise machine and some more scenery work.  First dog should be discharged mid to late afternoon.

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Tom, hope the eye surgery does well and you have a fast recovery.

Rick,  that's an interesting "conspiracy theory" but will have to wait a couple more races to see if it can gain traction.  Russell will have to suffer a couple more breakdowns first.    Enjoy your hike.

Current temperature is 16c (61f) and overcast with rain showers in the mix.  No modeling yesterday but I did manage to stain the switch ties this morning before I left for work.

Have a great day everyone.

AQI 12 this morning, after 600+ about 10 days ago.  Nice and pleasant, temp still in the 60s. 

Had my first sweetcorn of the season yesterday, mmmmm...

ACLTom bring on the grits, AND the sausage gravy. 

Outside stuff to do today, a loco on the bench will get a little attention somewhere, too. 

Be well all.

Umm corn on the cob....ding! Still waiting on ours.  The temp had dropped and the humidity!

Good afternoon, all. An hour ago it was raining and thundering on the NH seacoast, but now the front has blown out to sea. Mid 7-s and humid.  My lawn is pretty green and the orchard and various shrubs are growing.  Enough that I'll do some pruning in a bit.

Rick, when I visited the Cumbres & Toltec almost 20 years ago, they used a mix of trains & buses.  Westbound train out of Antonito, eastbound out of Chama met at Osier for lunch. Passengers could go back where they started on the opposing train, or a bus (cheaper/faster) or ride through to the other terminal and bus back to their car.  I think you could also start your day later riding a bus to Osier to return by train.  I got some good photos driving CO 17 along Cumbres Creek and on the west slope.

Good Morning All,

Today for breakfast is coffee, cereal, bagels, yogurt, pastry, OJ, and soda.

Started out the day with a walk at 80F and moderate humidity. Yesterday I mounted the loading dock roof and glued the 4 walls together and fixed the damage my fat fingers caused.

Today after chores I'll start working on the roof.

Not much else going on this way. Oh, Brett (SW) has posted that this Saturday he will release the new kit and 2 new vehicles.

Rick I hope your hike is going well.

I hope everyone has a good day.

[Larry C]

Good Morning Everyone,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Have fun with the kit despite fat fingers. I'll have to check out Brett's site on Saturday; thanks for the heads-up.

How's everyone else doing?

It's a sunny 58 with a high of 76 today. Not sure what the day will bring but I hope to get in some bench time and do an update later. That's about it from here.

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

Larry, Brett has said it's a waterfront kit that can also be modeled not as a waterfront. One of the new vehicles (your choice) comes with the kit or they can be purchased separately. I believe the vehicles are one from the 30's and one from the 40's. This is on his latest podcast.

We're in a run of really nice weather.  Not too hot, low humidity, sunny...

Yesterday was a double dog hit.  Titus did well at the vet, but he lost 4 more teeth.  The other tests didn't show any problems (no arthritis in his hip, no obvious internal signs.)  He was slower to recover, but by last night he wanted treats.  Livia, on the other hand, didn't eat most of yesterday, and was -very fussy-.  I ended up taking her to the vet ER, they treated her for nausea and dehydration.  She seems to be better today, but she's being her usual fussy eater self.  So, all-in-all, an expensive day.  But in between runs to the vet, I did spraypaint some more tree armatures.

Good morning folks,

Curt, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast. Good luck with the roof.

Larry, hope you make it to the bench.

Dave, hope your pups get better soon.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's an overcast morning, but rain is not in the forecast until tomorrow.  Yesterday it rained on me after I picked up the car from service.  I had to drive home in the rain.    

Not sure what today brings.  I need to post an update on the Model T...

Have fun,
mike

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Curt.

I'm doing a bunch of 1:1 stuff today prior to the eye surgery. 

Being old and needing surgery is a pain in the A**. See this doc, talk to this doc, get permission from those two docs and send money to the one left. If you are young, need surgery, no problem. Schedule and be done. I guess we can blame our litigious society for this. Off my rant now.

Hope I get to the bench later.

Have a great day ya'll and stay safe.

Tom

[Philip]

Good morning crew,

Hope your pups get better Dave!

Have a good day Tom! A lot on your mind no doubt.

Really cool out today for a change. Son has a dental appt this afternoon.

New Tracks had the dude from character count miniatures as a guest. Might be worth a watch plus a 10% discounts on order thru Sunday. In short a 3d lesson on printing figures using AI.

good day,
Philip

[KentuckySouthern]

Sunny and cool, 40s overnight but with sunny sky up to mid 60s already going to ~70.  Rodent patrol continues.

Decal project is on the bench.  Name change on a diesel. 

Enjoy the day all. 

Tom, feeling your rant...

Philip, is there a link to the New Tracks video?
