Good Morning,

Rick thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Has to be a bummer when the weather keeps you
inside; of course you do have to option to relocate. Gorgeous photo.

Tom have fun cleaning the shed.

Curt kinda sucks you have to dance around the Docs; typical now days. Keep enjoying your build.

Ron hope you're enjoying all that nice Florida weather. Enjoy the car races.

Mike good news on the peepers and have fun with the details.

Tom O enjoy that 80 degree weather.

Hey Greg. Yup Saturday falls six days a week for sure.

Jerry nice you're getting in some bench time; looking forward to a thread from you.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes; feeling sooooo much better; almost back to normal.

What's the plan?

It's a sunny 45 with a high of 65 in New York; works for me. Had the usual Friday am errands then switched out the
shower head for a new one now soaking the old one in hot water & Barkeep to unclog it. Planning continues on a
possible new modeling adventure; looks promising.

Enjoy the day!!!! Be well and stay safe.

Karl, I feel bad about your posting hassles, but you have wrongly accused gremlins.  We all know it was sun spots or the poles swapping their magnetism.  Persist!  ~mike

Good Morning All,

Today for breakfast is rummaging through the kitchen and get what you want along with coffee, OJ, and soda.

Started out the day with a walk at 66F and cool. Yesterday after I did my build thread update I added the inside portion of the window frames.

Today after chores I will start on the hoist house floor.

Karl I've had similar issues but not as bad as yours.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Morning all,

Curt, I couldn't find anything in the kitchen but I will have some OJ.

The Judge is coming over this morning and we want him to get back on The Saturday Report.

Have a safe and happy day everyone.

Good morning folks,

Curt, thanks for opening and making coffee.  The mine is looking good.

TomACL, hope you have a terrific day with the SBG crew.

It's an overcast but warm morning at 60F headed to 79F.  Bad storms are headed our way from the west and projected to arrive late tonight.  

Yesterday, I continued working on the shed's workbench and am just about finished.  Next up will be the shelving unit.

Have fun,
mike

Good morning everyone.

Cupertino weather: Mostly sunny, with a high near 62.

Curt, thanks for the coffee.
You're making good progress on the kit.

ACLTom, have fun with the judge and anyone else that shows up.

Mike, hope you're feeling well and the finger has healed.
Hope there's not an issue with the storms.


Karl, you're right, I didn't think of the collusion angle.  ;D
I haven't had any issues posting here except with the phone and that only happened once.

Larry, any ideas for a new project?

Jerry, looking forward to some pictures.

Greg, enjoy your Saturday.

TomO, more weathering yesterday?

Ron, lots of new names and faces to get used to in F1.
Interesting qualifying results today.

Philip, hope those storms missed you.

What's everyone else up to?

I'm in the land of Apple today.
Also seems like Tesla land here.
There 23 of them just in the parking lot here.
Looks like a rain free day today so I'll spend most of it outside.
I think I'll head to San Jose and see what's happening there.

Good morning from a wet Wisconsin. The storms tore through last night starting around 11:15. Lots of rain and wind. I have to go out and see what hit the west side of the house at around 1 this morning. I fell to sleep in the cave last night and was jolted awake by whatever it was. I checked the inside of all the west facing walls and there was nothing poking through so I went up to bed.

Yesterday was a partial fail for the 80 degree weather guessers. We did hit 78 though. They did get the timing of the storms correct

Today is NCAA hockey on campus! The #1 Badger women should pull this one off and head to Minneapolis next Friday for the Frozen 4 finale!

Rick, not much weathering done Friday. No pictures but I masked the UP diesel #2704 I showed on my fb page and painted the grills and vents on 1 side. I did start the 2 coil covers for the Seaboard Central cars. Pictures below! Just a grunge start with pigments for background. Maybe today some oil rust will be applied. I was made an offer too stupid to turn down (he's not a member here) but the Seaboard Central freelance coil car is sold! I ordered another for myself

Depending on what I find outside will determine any train room time

Enjoy the day

Rick,

Ok cannot edit the pictures on the above post and then the pictures disappeared.

Using the pigments gives a gritty surface that when the rust color is applied will give the rust spots some actual texture
