One last question - I wonder if that fan on the bench was blowin' his hair around?

Tom, it is coming along nicely. Now I can see and understand your concerns about storage space. Time to and a 2nd floor loft for storage and viewing.

Hi Tom,

WOW (and I don't mean the decoder    )!  That's a lot of progress in one session.      Looking good!

Those Arkansas boys are on everybodies BOLO list!     

I may be wrong but I bet Gman was born on the FBI's top 10 list!   Tom    

That's all due to my family's reputation (particularly on the Ledbetter side)!!
The FBI main office has a huge display dedicated to the state of the art "Ledbetter Stills"!
However, now-adays, they're devoted to producin' A&I (well, except for the occasional test sip
before addin' the ink)!!! 

Gman,

Good to hear from ya! I'll say one thing, at least you are honest about your heritage.   Mine ain't much better.

Now we know why Gnat's always in trouble.....good work on the benchwork Tom!

Greg,

Thanks, much appreciated. I won't be able to get back to it until next week.

Will that yard be done when the AS hopper finally rolls home?


dave

Dave,

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, it's a yard of sorts but mainly a staging area. I need to try and get back on the other forum and find my AS and get my AS over here on the better forum. It will probably be done by the time I get signed onto the other place, if ever.

Tom

The bench work is looking great and you can never have enough storage. Looks like both of us are going to be spending a lot of time doing track work this winter.

John,

I appreciate you stopping by. I got spoiled as I had all kinds of storage room on the old layout. Now I'm learning to live with what I have and can't believe how much crap I've thrown out.

I'll be laying track this winter, next winter and the winter after that. But it has to get done by 2017! Know what I mean?

Tom

[ACL1504]

Looking great Tom.

Dustin,

Thank you, much appreciated and thanks for stopping in to check out my progress.

John

John,

Thanks very much and it worked out as I had a procedure that morning that put me in bed all that day! Hope you headaches and now gone.

I'll be ready for your loco in the next two weeks.

One last question - I wonder if that fan on the bench was blowin' his hair around? 

Gman,

I have that answer. Yes, it blew all five of them!

Bill

Bill,

Thanks for checking in and yes, I would love to add a second story for storage. However, it would be cheaper to remove this building and start over than to add a second story to this one. And, you know it's the truth.

Bob,

Yep, I had a sudden burst of energy Sunday and got alot done. Thanks for stopping by on Saturday and today. I'm getting a little closer to getting a train around the room without carrying it. LOL.

Don't give him the big head too quick - he's still got a lot of Diet Pepsi's to swig to get to where he wants to be!!!
