Tom

You have been working hard - nice progress!

John,

Yes, we both have been busy little beavers. Your roundhouse looks fantastic. Very well done John.

Really moving along Tom, looking great.     

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!!! 

Gman,

I've only had 2  Diet Pepsi in the last 38 days. I guess I fell off the wagon.

Tom

This is just wrong.  How did this happen?  Do I need to send an emergency case of "Diet Pepsi" your direction?  You can't leave me as the only "Diet Pepsi" drinker on the forum Tom!



Actually, I fully understand.  I am trying to cut down on the diet pepsi as well.  You just seem to be doing a lot better job of it than I

Cousin Brucie,

So nice to see you. I hope all is well in your necdk of the woods.

Here's the Diet Pepsi issue. I started having headaches on a regular basis for no apparant reason. My Babe has been after me for years to stop. I mentioned the headeaches to my family doc and he said if I'm going to drink sodas to drink the regular sodas and not the diet. On
August 1, 2014 and I went cold turkey until Sept. 1, 2014 w/o one.  I've had four Diet Pepsis since 8/1/2014 and no headaches.

Medical experts have reported that they've identified a chronic case of DPD (Diet Pepsi Deprivation) in Florida!
Arrangements are being made to ship in massive amounts of the only known antidote:

Gman,

That Diet Pepsi train dropped of a six pack just last week.

Tom, Dustin (coors2u on Jimmy's old forum) reported last Tuesday that he had the AS hopper, but I haven't seen the pictures he promised yet.

James,

Thanks for the update. I'm in read mode only on the mrrforums site. I'm going to try one more time to get signed up and then bring the car over here.

I got a little more work done on the lower lever staging. I moved to the computer side and built the bench work around the comp. desk.







More in a few.

[ACL1504]

Also this past week I went to Ikea and purchased another small six drawer cabinet for my paints. I got it together and gathered up all the paint I could find that wasn't already on the workbench.



I then finished the bench work and installed the small cabinet under the benchwork as I did the other two.





More in a few.

[ACL1504]

I have plenty of room for the track behind the comp..





I have about 90% of the paints in the small six drawer cabinet. The bottom is all Scalecoat for painting brass and the drawer above that is a few cans os spray paint.



More in a few.

[ACL1504]

The rest is all Floquil. The boxes of Floquil are all 2nd and 3rd back up bottles.



The rest or top three drawers are all Floquil, opened and unopened.





I need the Floquil as I have lots of structures to build.

I love seein' multiple accomplishments in short order - the sawdust is flyin' again, there's a Diet
Pepsi sittin' in the work area, and drool is runnin' down my chin when I look at the paint drawers!
The word 'Hoarder' comes to mind!! 

But, I ain't never tried paintin' with those 12oz. bottles of W??? Farms!!!
And that piece of track layin' behind the computer has been out in the Floridy sun too long -
it looks warped like a big part of the population down there!!! 

Ahh, no - I really loved it while I was down there, but the warped comment still stands!!!

Tom , looks like steady progress, just might be a little hard getting threw that door!! 

[cuse]

Do I see track bus wires strung before the deck is even in? That's an organized man!!


Looks good...John

So, what have you been doing while you're resting yourself?

I can still sign in over there.  Next time I'm down I'll log in and you can post under my profile if you'd like.   

Wow!  That's a lot of progress since I was down there last week.  I need to make a return trip to that SW1500 another test run to make sure it was fixed right.

Keep a sharp lookout for the blue smoke!

Tom ...

For what they think those little jars are worth you need to take a rider on your home owners policy.

See ya
