Morning all with pouring rain and the leaves are still clinging to the trees. Thanks for the coffee Curt! Still messing with the hobo cars. I won an Ebay auction for $6.50. I'm sure the seller had a sinking feeling as shipping exceeded the selling price. Another colorful 2-6-0 Mogul Bachmann, brand new.

Great pictures Tom!

Rick I'm looking in. How's the clot doing? I see your hiking mass distances

Jerry, Any success luring Labdad to the forum? Where did Roland go?

Oh no . I hope SW isn't turning into Morgan Hills customer svc........

Later!

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

The morning beverages are set for your enjoyment. Breakfast is waffles with your choice of Vermont Maple Syrup or fresh fruit.

Whatcha all doin today.

It's a dreary 53 with a high of 63 in New York. We needed the rain and the temps will be in the upper 60's the remainder of the week; hello Fall. Not sure what's on the docket for today but maybe some bench time. Oh ya my details from SW should be here Saturday.

Have a great day!! Be well.

Good Morning All,

Thanks for opening and #1 breakfast Larry. Hope you make it to the workbench.

Today for breakfast #2 is coffee, cereal, bagels, english muffins, yogurt, OJ, and soda.

Wally World has delivered groceries already this morning. We pay extra of course, but I haven't been in a WM store in more than 6 months...priceless. Grandson was at the house yesterday complaining about how busy it was at work (Target). I told him Hallothankmas was upon us and it would just get worse.

The LHS was a success, of course MOH came along which added 3 more stops No train room time, but success. Still nothing from Brett.

Today I'm starting off with floors then I'll head to the train room. Today will be spent cutting and gluing with AC.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning folks,

Larry, thanks for opening, coffee, and waffles.  Good luck receiving the details.

Curt, thanks for the coffee and the snack. Hope you don't stick your fingers together.

Philip, congrats on the eBay steal! 

Jerry, hope you survived all the 1:1 activities.

Dave, good luck with the shelving detail.

Rick, sounds like an interesting hike.  Thanks for the beautiful photo.

Karl, 3D printing is like many other things. You have to relearn how to use the software and machines every time you work on something new.  It takes a bit to work out your process and workflow, but when you do, write it down, lol.

Tom, hope bowling went well.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's an overcast morning with rain coming later.  The high is forecast for 84°F.  Yesterday, I made it upstairs and worked on designing the post office and adding truss rods and sides to the gondola.  I'll take photos later.

Have fun,
mike

Morning all, Thanks for the coffee. Working on Starbucks "Sumatra" Whole bean. 

Finally cleared off yesterday afternoon. Typical gully washer day.

Have a great Wednesday!

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Larry. Waffles with Maple Syrup is perfect.

I chipped a front tooth yesterday and have no way of knowing how. I think my enamel is old and brittle. Dentist at 9:30 this morning, says, no problem, it can be fixed.

We bowled well yesterday and took 6 out of 8 points. I averaged 199 yesterday which is much better than my 161 the first five weeks.

Rick, sounds like you and Star and hiking all over the Northwest, enjoy it all.

Have a safe and healthy day everyone.

Tom

Bright sun and clear skies, yet again, after the day of rain.  BUT...the CHILL is on with coldest morning since May.  40s going to fight to 60⁰ today and most of the week. 

Home generator was several thousand dollars more than I expected nor can afford.  The salesman DID like seeing my layout project. 

3d continues to frustrate.  Mike, added a magnet plate to the build plate,  redid my "0" but would not work right.  Going backwards in the whole thing.  I am better at cleaning up and not spilling so badly.  My air removal system in my build station is functioning well. 

Plenty to do today, the Doll got a new rug cleaner and I have to assemble it. 

Time to hit "REFRESH" and see what today brings.

Be well all.

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

Thanks for the coffee and breakfasts Larry and Curt.

It's a cool 11c (52f) but the sun is shining.  No modeling lately as work has been really busy and I got swamped.     The good news is I have a 4-day weekend coming up that I plan to enjoy with no work.

Have a great day everyone.

[Rick]

Good morning everyone.

Bend, OR weather: 48 now and sunny with a high of 71 later.

Larry, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.
Have fun at the bench if you make it there.

Curt, thanks for the second cup.
Call Brent, he usually picks up right away.

Ron, I'm sure that 4 day weekend can't get here quick enough.

Karl, have you looked at portable power sources?
They make ones that will run your fridge, computer and keep your phone charged for hours.

ACLTom, sorry about the tooth but congratulations on the bowling success.
So many excellent hiking trails out here.

Philip, are you still harvesting from your garden?
I'm still taking the blood thinner but feel no pain and have to assume it's gone or slowly fading away.

Mike, I'll keep an eye out for those photos.

Jerry, hope you get some me time today.

Dave, did you end up besting the computer yesterday?

TomO, have fun at the ballgame.

Hiking to the top of Mount Bachelor today with my friend that lives here in Bend.

A little bit of fall color while I hiked the Cape Horn Loop in Washington.



Have a great day everyone.

Ron you seem to be awful busy at work lately??

Weather in South Jersey rainy. But we need it.
I have some 1:1 painting to do today.
Then we are going out to dinner with friends later on.
Maybe some bench in between.

Everyone have a great day!!

Good morning from Wisconsin. The overnight low hit 41 and many of the plants on my walk this morning were covered as frost was predicted! High lat should be 63. Game time at Wrigley Field for the Brewer/Cub playoff game at 4:08pm CST should be 62. I guess we will be in layers

The layout work session for the paper mill went very well. It was decided 32' of facade structures and out buildings was too much. We condensed the 2 sample 18" laser cut segments, the foam core and poster board mock ups to about a 20 to 24' space. Cutting out 8' of structures allows for a larger log pond, river scene, pulp, wood chips and coal piles without stuffing things in. Today his track crew will work the "final" mill track work foot print. Another decision made was the log pond/river was being crossed by open deck girder brides. Now it will be a couple lead in girder bridges to a double track swing bridge. I came home with the double track bridge from Walthers to build! Was not expecting that. The owner was shocked at the mockups and the space they filled (32'). I tried explaining the last couple months but until the mockups ups were in I guess he couldn't comprehend it. His partner thought it was great (it was) and she wanted it left as originally designed and mocked up. He sighted a lot of good reasons but when he mentioned price his partner jumped all over him. She said you have 100+ locomotives and how many hundreds of cars, let alone track so don't go cheap on buildings. I chuckled

This will be our 1st baseball playoff trip to Wrigley Field. Been to Brewer playoff games in Milwaukee and a White Sox World Series game in 2005 but never have been able to get Cub playoff tickets. It should be a good time. While I'm torn as a kid who grew up in Chicago, I am going Brewers.

Enjoy the day

Hmmm...   Tom needs to stop gnawing on his bowling balls..  Rick, another great photo.  I'm still pondering how to load up the shelves in the machine shop.  But I did find a low end drawing program that does most of what I need.  

We got rain last night!  Not as much as predicted, but still very welcome.  Definitely fall temperatures starting today.

Good afternoon, all.  It's still overcast over the lower Merrimack Valley, but the rain stopped about lunchtime. Less than 1/4" by my gauge; the grass will like it but it didn't do much for stream flow, people's wells or our recent statewide Red Flag warning.  I'm checking the Forum, then I have some on-line work, then see if the autobody place is done patching up the kid's accident damage.

[Philip]

Good morning all!

Breakfast is on, egg bacon sausage waffles and coffee!

Watch that tooth Tom! I chuckled at Dave's comment! 

Good news Rick, I was rescanned a couple weeks ago and my clots are gone.

We went on a provision run yesterday. That Gena is a shopper!

What's on ur plates today?

Philip
