Good morning everyone.

Hood River weather: Partly sunny, with a high near 64.

Curt, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.
Glad things went well for Dad yesterday.

Dave, naps are great.

Philip, glad the rains have stopped.

Dale, welcome home and enjoy the day off.

Larry, hope you're right about the white stuff.

James, nice to see you here and hope the paperwork is finished quickly and easily.

Greg, hope it's another light work day with plenty of sunshine.

TomO, I saw the flooding and glad I'm not in need of any bourbon.

Ron, hope you can find what you need online.

Karl, have fun in the basement if that's what you decide to do.

ACLTom, More shed time today?

Jerry, new thread close by?

Took the dogs back to The Spit yesterday for them to frolic in the river.
Didn't stay long because it was windy and raining.
Today I need to take my friend to the dentist and while she's there I'm going to a van shop and see if they can make a reasonably priced storage unit for me.
Since the weather is much improved a hike is planned for this afternoon.

Next to my friends house is a stream that the pear orchards use for irrigation.
This area is the pear capital of the US.
The trail goes for .8 miles where it's fenced off and have to turn around.
Here's a view I had while on that walk.



Have a great day everyone.

Good morning folks,

Curt, thanks for opening, breakfast, and coffee. Hope the PT session for your Dad goes well.

James, good luck with your paperwork and annual meeting.

Larry, wishing you good luck casting.

Dale, the weather sounds nice over the weekend. Indeed, the wind blows!

Philip, I thought you had finished the joint.  I'll check your thread.

Dave, I'll keep an eye out for the tanks.

Rick, good luck at the van shop.

Karl, hope you enjoy the day.

Gregory, hope everything worked out at the gym.

How is the rest of the gang?

It's a bright morning, with temperatures at 50°F headed to 69°F.  I need to go to the bank for some lodge deposits, etc.  Afterward, I'll head upstairs to begin weathering the tank car. 

Have fun,
mike

Morning everyone

Curt thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Glad to hear Dad's healing.

Weather in South Jersey is sunny/39.  Later on 46.
At least the sun is out today again.
Not sure what's on the agenda today.
Trying to get things together for a new thread.

Everyone have a great day!!

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast. Pam and I went to IHOP for the senior special of 2 eggs, 2 sausage links and two buttermilk pancakes.

After that was fun in running several different errands. Seems like now my day is half over.

Great picture Rick.

Have a great day everyone and be well.

Good Morning All,

Today for breakfast is coffee, cereal, bagels, yogurt, OJ, and soda.

The only thing I accomplished yesterday was chores. After lunch I couldn't keep my eyes open so I took a nap. Dad finished his last PT session yesterday.

Today Dad has his video appointment with neuro at 9 am. After that I plan on doing some modeling.

I hope everyone has a good day.

[Rick]

Good morning everyone.

Hood River weather: Rain likely, mainly after 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 68.

I see Curt is here as well so we might get double breakfasts. 

Coffee, sodas and OJ are out.
Crispy bacon, egg and cheese on a fresh Brooklynn everything bagel for breakfast today.

Karl, interesting video.

ACLTom, still hanging in the shed?

Jerry, any bench progress?

Mike, tank car weathering is progressing nicely.

How's everyone else doing?

Went to the van shop yesterday but haven't heard back from them yet on an estimate.
A short hike this morning then I'm following my friend Anne Marie to Cottonwood Canyon State Park.
Depending on the weather we might spend a few days there.
Did a nice hike yesterday and got a good view of Mount Hood.



Have a great day everyone.

Still winter in Michigan, ~1" of new snow. Was tempted to mow yesterday  This doe was under the crabapple this morning around when you might have seen sunrise.

Painted backdrop sections on the new area of the layout. Track work may continue 

Be well all.

The photo is a keeper Rick. MT. Hood almost looks like a painted backdrop.

[Larry C]

Morning Gents,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Hope your Dad's video call goes well and you are able to get to the bench.

Rick great photo!!!!! Star looked like she's a little pooped. Hope the Van estimate is reasonable.
Thanks for the second breakfast.

Karl don't feel bad I received about 2 inches of that white crap; butt thankfully it all melted.
Have fun railroading.

Morning Dave.

What going on?

It's 30 with a high of 44 in New York with some rain coming our way; not that we need it. Poured some
rock castings yesterday and it took forever to dry. Hopefully this am they're dry enough to get them out
of the mold. I had forgotten how nasty Hydrocol is to work with. I do have some castings from years ago
that I may just cut and use if the new ones don't pan out.

Have an enjoyable day. Be well and stay safe.

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Curt.

Been very busy the past two days. Pressure washing the pool deck, driveway, front and side side walks. No modeling at all but I plan to change that this fine day.

Rick, nice picture of you and Star.

Karl, still winter? I would never survive the long cold. Guess I'm, truly a Florida Cracker.

Have a great day everyone and stay safe.
