Morning all,

Great day yesterday with the airshow (any show with The Thunderbirds is great) and meeting my brother for breakfast.  

Sunny with a high of 75 today.  I can actually skip my "every other day" mowing today, but will probably do it tomorrow.  

Maybe some train time today or just a lazy Sunday. 

This is a "Cavalier" Mustang.  A company built these for personal use planes after the war, though some foreign countries bought them as fighters.

Good morning everyone.

Upper 80's and sunny here in Seattle today.

Jeff, thanks for another cool picture.

Star and I will be hiking again today.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning.  Interesting aircraft, Jeff.  We're headed to the low 80's today.  We'e going for a walk in a little while.

Bruce De Young (Dutchman), from the Railroad Line, posted an interesting video where he used AI to create scenes using his models.  It's a fascinating use of the tool.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu_eLIze1EI

Sunny and seems like a pleasant day here in MI, haven't ventured out to check, yet. 

I changed oil on the mower yesterday.  Chanllenge to that, the drain tube extension of course unscrewed from the block, not the end plug so the oil didn't leave without some mess that is beyond reach, so I've left the drain pan under it for the day.  I'll manage that later.  New blades will happen another day. 

The Doll and the girls enjoyed the Renaissance Fest and shopping in Holly.  I enjoyed the solitude. 

Visiting friends at their lakeside joint later in the day.  Haven't heard any good gossip in awhile.  Not sure there will be any "good" but surely plenty of it.  I cringe. 

Love the Cavalier, Jeff, if I recall they made up a few with turbo power plants that were really aggressive looking. The wing tip tanks are attractive.  As is the camo paint. The P-51D  is all time favorite, the only a/c I actually sprung the $$ for a professionally made display model.  Still sits on my dresser...Detroit Girl and it's kept its propeller blades all these years of being dusted by the help.  Picked it up at Wright Patterson USAF Museum ~2000.

Everyone enjoy the day.  Be well.

Another great day in SE NH.  It got down to 57 last night, heading to 83 today.  Mostly clear and sunny.   Wife and I slept in this morning, it felt good.   So after brunch, I'll work on the machine shop, with luck getting the rest of the machines installed today.  The 5 minute epoxy I got was one of those "2 side-by-side tube" dispensers, but the difference in viscosity made it really hard to get an equal small amount of each product onto the mixing surface.  Sigh...

Evening all,

I hope all had a great day. I did finally get the two cabooses finished.

Now I can move on to something else.
