Sunday brunch…

[KentuckySouthern]

G'mornin' from the mitten state.  Pancakes, waffle and French toast with the last of 2024 Vermontville Pure Amber Maple Syrup.  Eggs, from the vault and biscuits and grit and some breakfast sausage from the corner market.  Campfire coffee from the hunting/sugar shack on the hot enamelware pot on the stove.

Had a beautiful sky last evening...

The family Geeks are coming today so clean up is in full swing this morning.

Everyone have a fine day....(yes, the diet Dr P and Diet Pepsi are in the cooler, I took the last Diet Coke... [/color]

Morning all.

Thirty degrees this morning, headed for 45!  I will be sloppy as the snow/ice melts over the next few days.  

I think I finally have the roofs in place on the FSM kit.

Good morning everyone.

Should reach 70 or close to it here in California.

Karl, thanks for the second cup and beautiful picture.

You guys here are late starters.   

Star and I did a hike yesterday and have another one planned for today.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

Not much on the agenda today.  Hopefully I'll make some progress on my build and my build thread.

Have a great one!

Good Morning Everyone;

Love the sunset photo! Had my coffee, waffle and sausage patty to start the week. Turned on the news, turned it back off and headed to the bench instead.  Hope to make a little more progress on flour mill, I think I am past the halfway mark but who knows. The production people are not waiting for me, apparently shipments have already begun, guess I better put a roof on.

We're having a heat wave here, it's up to 39F at 11:30.  The driveway close to the garage is still mostly ice (with lots of yellow dots left by the dogs), but closer to the street there's a lot of visible pavement.  We still have at least a foot of snowpack on the yard, though.  

I did a little work on the Ambroid kit yesterday, but lost energy in the afternoon (before the neighborhood Scotch Club weekly meeting.)  I'll head back down when I'm done here, spray priming some metal parts (trucks, queenpost castings).  I did buy .021 monofilament and ordered some Tichy S-scale turnbuckles. A test fit of the mono shows it looks pretty good and clears the trucks. There's a great video of Don Tichy narrating a tour of the Tichy factory in North Carolina:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz1iwxRq0GE  Passenger car trucks were often painted fairly bright colors, so after the primer I'll have to think about that.  The other thing I ordered was Kadee overset couplers, which should align correctly in the swing coupler boxes mounted to the undercarriage to the NMRA coupler height (Kadee coupler tester.)  Here's the test of the centerset coupler:

Good morning, all, from the lower Merrimack Valley. I'm a bit warmer than Dave but otherwise similar weather.

I spent a while updating my layout thread, which also involves a lot of cleanup of my picture database.  After lunch a break from that to see the kid play in a concert, then maybe some physical modeling (vs. virtual).

Good Afternoon,

Karl, nice photo and I'll gab another cup of java.

Jim nice photo but my lower back hurts just seeing all the weight be
pushed around.

It's 36 on the back porch and tomorrow for the next 4 days temps will
be in the 40's. Hopefully that'll clear the snow and ice off the roofs.
Spent some time at the bench earlier and plan on updating my thread.

Have a great day.
