Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 3

[PRR Modeler]

Good Morning All,

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

Woke up today to 57F and mild. Tomorrow is supposed to be 52F. I'll be wearing sweatpants and shirt for my walk.

Yesterday I completed the Tempering Shop minus the 2 large details that will be completed later. Next up is building one of the pattern shop dock awnings.

I decided to clean the fence and driveway on Saturday when the only person here will be Dad.

Well that's enough jabbering for now.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Looking forward to an update and hope you're enjoying this build.

What's your plans for today.

It's 0800 and still kinda dark out. Raining which will be an all day even @ 40 with a high of only 48 here. Looks like a good day to stay inside and be at the bench. Not sure what else is going on today.

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

Good morning everyone.

In the middle of no where Nevada weather: Sunny with temps in the mid to upper 60's.

Curt, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.
You're making very good progress on the kit.

Larry, enjoy the bench time.

Jerry, that's good news from the bench.

Mike, hope you are feeling much better today.

TomO, thanks for the movie review.

Dave, congratulations on the DCC success.

Ron, do you have all the paints you need?

ACLTom, how are things in SC.

Greg, you must be very busy with work.

Karl, any more 3D work?

How's everyone else?

Spent a few hours walking around the Mining Museum in Tonopah.
I shot videos and pictures.
I'll post the pictures later.
Then started driving east to Great Basin NP.
Ended up at the Lunar Crater Volcanic Field National Natural Landmark.
It's an extinct volcano and looks just like a meteor crashed here.
Link to site that hs photos and more info: https://travelnevada.com/parks-recreational-areas/lunar-crater-backcountry-byway/
I'll stay here all day and walk one of the trails here with Star.

A scene from Yosemite NP as I was driving into the park.



Have a great day everyone.

Good morning folks,

Curt, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast. Congrats on the tempering shop completion.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's another cool day at 44°F headed to 55°F.  I'm still not up to much, so I don't think I will make it upstairs.  On Rick's note, I guess I have a case of the NBWitis.

Have fun,
mike

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

Curt, thanks for the coffee and breakfast and it sounds like you had another productive day.

Larry, Your weather sounds like ours.

Rick, enjoy your hike with Star.

Mike, have a great day.

Weather here is 3c (38f) and raining.  They are calling for rain for the next two days, it least it isn't the white stuff.  Pulled out my tubes of Liquitex acrylic paints and it seems that I need to stop at the art store tomorrow to pick up some mars black and cadmium yellow.

Have a great day everyone.

[Jerry]

Larry it's best to stay inside and work at the bench!

Rick beautiful picture.
Have a nice hike with Star today.

Mike I hope your feeling better as the day goes on.

Ron looking forward to the painting of the backdrop.

Weather in South Jersey rainy/windy/60.
Yes it's Spring time for a day or two.
Worked on the carriage for the Sawmill yesterday and realized I have no 2x8.  Hope they will be here by the weekend.

Everyone have a wonderful day!!

Good morning, all.  Rick, on your way to Great Basin will you drive through or near Ely, NV?  I visited the Nevada Northern's preserved copper mine RR with its original shop and enginehouse in 2014; I liked it enough that I'm still a member.

[Philip]

Bringing up the rear again as usual. rain rain rain again..non stop. Clearing later.

Made my rounds on the forum. Looking good crew!



Later!

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

The coffee's ready along with the usual morning beverages. Breakfast is flapjacks, butter, Maple Syrup, crispy bacon and/or pan sausages; eat up.

What's going on in your world.

It's 45 with a high of 49 with wind & rain in the forecast. Some errands this am then maybe some time at the bench working on more details. Supper tonight will be homemade burgers, coleslaw, and fries....yum.

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

Good Morning All,

Thanks for opening and breakfast Larry. Your supper sounds quite tasty.

Started out the day with a walk at 53F and breezy so it was pretty chilly for me. Yesterday I built the Pattern House platform awning and textured/colored the wood to make a platform today.

Tomorrow MOH and daughter have a skunk event and I'll be cleaning the driveway.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning, all. Larry, I set a basket of Cortland apples on the counter.

The NH seacoast is dawning sunny with a scattering of clouds moving quickly northeast. My 2nd wife's weather station on the other side of town reports 1.85" overnight, so I also need to see what needs to be dried out in the barn awaiting the roofers. And pay a couple of property tax bills.  Maybe some layout time, maybe spend my evening with old friends.

[KentuckySouthern]

Little to add here.  Considerable 1:1 turmoil.
Ron "Elwood Blues" said,

Hmm sounds like another of Mr. Lyon's disciples? I have dozens of feet of his style backdrop. 

Sun     seems to have cracked the sky this morning, (Fake news)maybe 3 minutes now total overcast mid 30s to 50, maybe today.

Good morning folks,

Larry, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast.  What time is supper tonight? 

How is the rest of the crew?

It's a bright morning at 42F, headed to 64°F.  I feel better this morning, and I hope to go upstairs later.

Have fun,
mike

[PRR Modeler]

Mike I'm glad you're feeling better.

[Rick]

Good morning everyone.

Some clouds and a high of 64 in Ely, NV.

Larry, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.
Enjoy the burgers tonight.

Curt, have fun at the bench.

Karl, hope that 1:1 turmoil isn't too serious.

James, thanks for the apple and the tip about Ely.
That's where I'm heading today.

Mike, very happy you're feeling better.

ACLTom, hope all is well in your travels.

Philip, someone has to bring up the rear.   

Jerry, hope there was something else to work on while you're waiting for the 2x8's.

Ron, glad the white stuff isn't starting yet.

How's everyone else?

Star and I walked 5 miles on one of the OHV roads here.
Took it easy rest of the day.
Moving out today and going to Ely.
There's a gym and laundromat there and I'll check out the spot James suggested.

This is the Lunar Crater (volcano) I've been parked next to.



Have a great day everyone.
