Good Morning,

Curt sorry to hear about the sleep depravation; hope you sleep better tonight.Have fun working on your kit.

Tom glad to hear Pam is doing better and hope she recovers soon. Enjoy your tome in the shed.

Ron thanks for the coffee and breakfast, eh. Sorry couldn't resist. Fiddly stuff can get tedious very quickly; for me it's doing shingles on a roof.

What are your plans for the day.

It's a cloudy 35 with a high of 45 in New York; maybe a few flurries tossed in. Today starts the rather lengthy "honey do" list. Deep cleaning the kitchen with Ellie is on tap for this afternoon. After I'm done here the fan/light over the table need a good cleaning. Bench time? ya right.

Have a great day!! Be well.

 Did anyone else see the Notre Dame vs Syracuse game yesterday?
ND 70 Syr 7

My son in law isa rabid Syracuse fan. Notre Dame is my team. I'm going to give him SO MUCH CRAP  at the Thanksgiving table! Notre Dame had not even take their first offensive snap of the game and it was already 21-0. Crazy!

Good for the Lord's team.  My Spartans have been a total failure this year. Their previously unbeaten hockey team fell to TomO's Badgers.

3d machine wrapped up most of building I have been working on.

Lions play at 1 today. Hopefully they can do better than last week.

Be well all. Time for a late breakfast.

Glad to hear Pam is on the mend.  Hopefully her immune system will be fully charged up for the rest of the season. 

I'm not a fan of college sports. 

Back to the machine shop later this morning, I'll check the side walls, work out how much I need to add to the bottom, and then mark the back wall for trimming.  At least that's the plan.

Good afternoon, all.  The NH seacoast is 40-ish, with a chance of precipitation late afternoon & early evening.  Rick, I spent a night in Kingman 11 years ago, so I looked up your trail.  Not far from town and there's apparently a cave too.  All the walking I did was along the Santa Fe tracks. But I do fondly remember the Black Bridge Brewery on E. Beale St.

Good afternoon folks,

Curt, thanks for opening.  I'd love a couple of slices of pizza.  You did save some for the forum crew, right? Hope you can sleep soon.

TomACL, glad Pam feels better. Good luck with the barn.

Ron, thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Congrats for the brake system work.

Larry, good luck with the task master's list.

Dave B, that was a painful game to watch.  

Karl, congrats on the 3D completion.  The structure looked good.

Dave, can't wait to see the completed foundry.

Rick, wishing you maximum fun with the grandkids.

Jerry, glad you were able to visit with your grandson.

James, sounds like a fun time in Kingman, all those years ago.

How is the rest of the crew?

Thanks for all the anniversary salutations. She walked into the student union, and Cupid's arrow struck.  A year later, we married.

It's a nice day here in the 70s. Sharon's laptop gave up the ghost, wouldn't charge, and the SSD was dead, so I spent yesterday setting up her new laptop.  Updates took forever.  Thankfully, backups to the NAS ensured she didn't lose anything important. 

The oil derrick is progressing.  I drilled all the holes and began inserting NBWs.  No work on the combine.

Have fun,
mike

My current build is the Oil Derrick and miscellaneous rolling stock .

Morning Crew! Bacon eggs toast on the counter. Did I mention coffee?

Good Morning All,

Thanks for opening and breakfast Philip. What company do you own or work for?

Started out the day with a walk at 66F and cool. Great walking weather. I slept much better last night. Yesterday I spent several hours working on the office. I'm at the point of adding roof rafters and then the roof.

Today I have chores and errands first thing. If I get the rafters installed I'll do a update. I know I keep saying that. :-*

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning,

Philip thanks for the breakfast and did I mention coffee; sorry couldn't resist. Hey let us know, if you're so inclined, on what you're making/selling. Might as well send a little business your way.

Curt glad you slept better last night and enjoy the kit. Looking forward to an update when you get to it.

What are your plans for the day.

It's 38 with a high of 47 in New York. They're calling for Lake effect white crap by the end of the week; hopefully NOT. Regular grocery shopping shortly before the h-d-l continues. Did make it to the bench for about an hour yesterday filing and priming the hangers for the main belt line. Bench time today??

Have a great day!! Be well.

Glad sales are good.

Curt, glad you slept better.

Larry, keep making progress at the bench.

ACLTom, hope Pam is doing better.

Mike, glad nothing was lost on the old computer.

James, you're right, the trail was very close to town, but I didn't see the cave.

Jerry, hope you found some bench time.

Ron, Max is making things VERY interesting.

How's everyone else doing.

I have a short, less than 2 mile hike planned with the kids today.

Rick, wishing you a fantastic hike with the kids.  Thanks for the wonderful photo.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's cool this morning at 45°F, but warming this afternoon to 74°F.  Groceries are on tap this morning and lodge tonight.  I'm sure I'll manage some time with the NBWs.

Have fun,

Another week so what are ya into?

For me. Last day of medical leave because of my skin condition. It's still openly weeping, so it will become a challenge  whenever I reach for things.
 It might be time to retire and play with trains.

My wife goes in for a high contrast CAT scan later today. She has a grossly extended abdominal hernia needing attention. Along with a locked up hip. It's fun getting old


On the modeling front. I'm getting closer to finishing the harbor silo complex. I added  interior lighting to the marine leg tower. And affording external details.

Keep us in your prayers. We need them.
