Good morning folks,

Cheyenne Wyoming...22 degrees, a little snow overnight and a wind to rip your shirt right off your back, less than pleasant. We have had the wind in Northern Colorado also, so bad it has been like the dust bowl, a brown white out at times. So now I have a nice coating of dust all over the layout. My house was built in 1912, so even though all the windows are brand new, the house is still a bit drafty.

Good morning folks,

Curt, thanks for opening.  Good luck at the VA.

Rick, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.  Hope you enjoy the museum.

Larry, enjoy your time with Ellie.  About those twigs, I like your idea.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's a bright morning at 38F headed to 80F.  I love these spring days.  I hope to make it upstairs for a while. That is all.

Have fun,
mike

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Rick, OJ is nice and cold.

We took all 8 points yesterday and it appears I'm out of my slump. I averaged 192 for three games - all is well for this week.

I have many errands to run this morning and later I'm trimming some palms for my neighbor.

Have a safe and happy day everyone.

Morning everyone

Curt have a nice day.

Rick thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Nice video.

Larry have a nice day out with Ellie.

Weather in South Jersey is sunny/43.  Later on 59.
Just got back from having my 6 month ultrasound done.  Results tomorrow.
Some light grocery shopping to do.
Then maybe some time at the bench.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

"Who's wearing the old socks?"  Well, I remember reading that socks and underwear are the most needed items for clothing donations, so hopefully someone with cold feet.     I'm looking forward to seeing your photos from Sacramento.

Sunny here, I have to go to the bank, and then another group lunch.  Maybe some work in the train room late today, probably though just some pick-up/put-away.

Good morning all! The headliner in Gena's car revealed both hoses from the sunroof were damaged in the trunk.   Running in a few minutes to find some replacement hose before the 5 pm rain. Oh Joy! I'm thinking clear hose and RTV silicone at the connections will remedy this pain in the you know what.

Later and as always have a great day!

Good morning Curt, Rick, Larry, Dale, Mike, ACLTom, Jerry, Karl, Dave, Philip and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick.  to answer your question, I'm a project manager for a mechanical construction company.  Have fun at the museum.

Curt, hope the VA vampire leaves you some blood.

Larry, enjoy your day out with Ellie and enjoy dinner.

Dale, 22F ? that's why I left Canada to work in Florida.  ;D

Mike, hope you make it upstairs later.

ACLTom, be careful trimming those palms.

Dave, have fun with the lunch group.

Philip, hope you can get the parts and the work completed before the rain comes.

Currently 51F and sunny here.  Managed a little time at the bench last night, finished folding ang gluing up the fire escapes and re-glued down the town roads.  I posted an update on my Henderson build thread.  Don't think I'll make it to the bench tonight.

Have a great day everyone.

Hope everyone had a more relaxing day today.....

At last the end of a long day, 2 projects up in the panhandle were turned in today. That made for a hectic day on the computer, as the subs all wait to the last minute to send out their proposals. It's bad enough submitting one bid, but  two is a pain in the butt.  :-X

Good morning everyone.

Sacramento weather: Patchy fog between 8am and 9am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 63.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Omelette station is set up.
An infinite amount of ingredients to put in your omelette so let your imagination run wild.

Greg, hope today is less painful.

Ron, I enjoyed seeing your update.

Philip, are the hoses replaced?

Dave, I was so busy shooting video that I didn't even think of taking photos.

Karl, have you run out of your monthly allotment of pixels?  ;D

Jerry, hope the results are all good.

ACLTom, congratulations on the excellent bowling.

Mike, still painting details?

Dale, I hope the weather is better today.

Larry, how was dinner out?

TomO, hope all is well with you.

Spent the morning at the California State RR Museum.
Best RR museum I've see so far.
I shot a lot of video and I'll try to get that edited and uploaded in the next few days.
Heading towards Lake Tahoe today where it's much colder.

Sunrise at Pacific Grove.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning,

Rick thanks for the coffee and omelet; mine was the classic western. Looking forward
to the museum video and have safe travels.

What's going on in your world?

It's 52 on the back porch with a high of 63 in New York. They're calling for PM showers & wind; hopefully
not a repeat of Monday; ugh. Have a few minor 1:1's to tend to then maybe some bench time. Not much else
happening here.

Have a great day!!!! Be well and stay safe.

Rick and others, morning,

Thanks for breakfast omelette and OJ. Nice sunrise photo.

Errands and driving Miss Pam is in my immediate future. Then some practice bowling and home.

I have two sprinkler heads that need replacing so my day is planned.

Have a safe and happy day everyone.

Good morning from my part of Wisconsin. I've been checking in but not putting anything in the forum. I have cut back to being online but with the demise of RRL forums there is an element (unknown) that seems is missing here for me. Maybe it's just a funk but everything else is going fine

Good morning folks,

Rick, thanks for opening, the coffee and the omelet.  Safe travels to Tahoe.

It's a cool 54F headed to 55F.  It rained overnight but it is clear today.  I didn't make it upstairs yesterday, I started a new book (Colony Mars, Kirby) and read it until finished.  I haven't done that in ages. Hoping to make it upstairs today.

Have fun,
mike

Morning everyone

Rick thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Great picture this morning.

Larry have fun at the bench today.

Tom have a nice day with Pam.

TomO must be a funk!!

Mike hope you get upstairs today.

Weather in South Jersey cloudy/47.  And that's it for the day.
Ultrasound came back no change so no stent needed. 
Today 4 of the grandkids are coming down to see us.
So I don't think there will be any bench time today.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)
