Morning all,

Raining here and headed to 83 degrees.  Working on the details the the FSM kit.  Barrels are NOT my favorite item to paint.  Maybe a trip to the grocery store later, possibly a walk and mowing if it dries out.

Here's one of the main items I wanted to win at the auction.  It's a brass CB&Q stock car.  these came out a few years ago for over $300 apiece which I thought was nuts.  A couple of years ago, I won one on ebay for $150, but  the #*@! post office lost it in the mail.  There were six of these on auction, I bid on all of them (I was working, so I had to pre bid), and I won this one. 

Typical auction, I really only wanted this car and a couple of GP7s that were offered.  You saw last week what I came home with.  :o

Good morning everyone.

I'm half way to Cascade, ID where it's a lot cooler than in Boise.

Have a great day everyone.

Well, it's more humid than yesterday, but still sunny.  Chance of thunderboomers in the afternoon.  Wife wants to eat out for breakfast, which means I have shave  >:(

When I get back, more work on the machine shop.  Progress on this is really slow...

Morning all,

Jeff, nice find even it it was only the one you won.

Pam and I have a few errands this morning, groceries, vehicle gas and staples.

Hopefully modeling is in my afternoon schedule.

Have a great day everyone.

Hazy bright  8) after fog earlier.  Temp just crossed over into the 60s.

Rain much of yesterday allowed me to spend some time on a building kit I brought.

Plans unmade at this hour. 


Enjoy the day, all!

Morning all. I had to replace my 10 year old Kyocera phone with a new Samsung S 25. I was having a problem with the USB port on the old phone and charging it was a problem.  The heat and humidity knocked the crap out of me this week, so not much was done after I got out of work. I really need to figure out when in the next year I want to retire.

Afternoon all,

Just lounging around today. Still kind of wore out from all the driving the last two days. Hope to get back on track tomorrow. 

Have a great one!
