Donato,

Thank you for the very kind compliment on the layout work. Sometimes I just get plain lucky and it all turns out well.

Today I did get some done on the layout. I upgraded a few cyress trees and poured some water in the Tahope River.

I'll upload some pictures tomorrow. I'm a bit worn out for today.

KPII,
          Glad to hear your red ryder shooter is working again.  I bet it will be even bigger better once it's spit shined up and placed back in the cabinet!  KP-out...

KPI,

Yes, the red ryder, or rider I should say, is working once again. Not sure I should read into the rest of the comment!

I don't want us both kicked off the forum.

Well, I'm way behind in my posting to the thread but I do have two updates I'll share today.

I got two big boxes of super trees from SE prior to my last surgery. They are the ones boiled in the glycerin/e but I think they will be fine after I soak them in matte medium.

Out of the two boxes I got about 300 trees.





More in a few.

I was telling the Judge I needed to purchase several more self closing tweezers. I was holding a clothes pin when he came up with a great idea.

He suggested instead of buying the self closing tweezers for $4 each, we take a clothes pin, glue two big nuts (no Thom, not the Judge and me) to each end of the clothes pin.

We went to Ace Hardware and got 30 big nuts for $3.00.



I used super glue and glued the nuts on the clothes pins.
