Don't overdo all that yard work.

Larry that sounds like a of moving of stone!!

Curt hope you make it to the bench.

Rick great picture.
A day of rest never hurt anyone!

Karl great work on the rebuild.

Mike glad you doing better.  Just don't overdo it.

Morning Dave.

Weather in South Jersey is sunny/71.  Later on 82.
Feels good after two days of 90's.  But still cool at the beach high 50's.
The mulch is done along with most of the yard work.
Later on I hope to get back to the bench.

Everyone have a great day!!

Good afternoon everyone,

Just got back from visiting the Mrs at the hospital, she is doing well.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

I also managed to get some time at the bench, seeing as the stress about the Mrs has subsided quire a bit.  Got the tar paper cut and attached to the roof.  Next up is to attached the chimney, weather the roof and add the doors.  Hopefully much of that will get done tonight.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone.

31 in Cedar City, sun and clouds later with a high of 60.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Continental breakfast today consisting of assorted muffins, danish and bagels.

Ron, glad your stress levels are down and you're back at the bench.

Jerry, did your later on plans happen?

Mike, hope the yard work was completed without incident.

Karl, hope the storms aren't causing you any issues.

How's everyone else?

Not hiking yesterday was a good call.
Just walking from the van into Walmart was a challenge with the high winds.
Drove to Cedar City and Star and I will do a hike this morning.

View while hiking on the Eagle Crags Trail.



Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Rick, enjoy your day.

CEO Jim Donovan and 3-4 additional railroad modelers are driving down from the Villages to visit the A&S RR and meet the SBG group. Curt and Greg are stopping by to meet the northern crew. Don't know about Cuse or Reading Bob. The Judge sends his regrets, he is still rehabing.

We'll definitely have a great time and of course BSing to go with all the chatter. Lunch at our normal Saturday watering hole where the BS will most likely continue.

Have a great day ya'll.

Tom

Good Morning All,

Thanks for opening and breakfast Rick. Sounds like a good call yesterday.

Started out with a walk at 68F and heading to 90F later. Yesterday I spent almost 2 hours doing one section of the fence. Definitely a VERY slow process.

Today I'll head down to Tom's to visit with everyone.

I hope everyone has a good day.

[friscomike]

Good morning crew,

Rick, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast. Wishing Star and you a fun hike.

Tom, the SBG meet-up sounds like a lot of fun.

Ron, congrats on the return to the bench.  More well wishes to your wife.

Jerry, congratulations on the yard work completion.  

Dave, thanks for the encouragement.  I didn't overdo it.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's a sunny morning, headed to 86°F. Yesterday's yard work made me a little tired this morning, but I'll survive. I finished planting all the herbs and vegetables, and am happy that it's done.  I'm off to the lodge's annual car and bike show.  It will be a lot of fun.

Have fun,
mike

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

Keeping it brief this morning; lots to do today.

Rick thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Hike safely.

Tom and Curt enjoy the group and your guests today. Happy BS'ing!!!

Mike don't overdue on the yard work. Enjoy the car show.

What are you doing today.

It's a sunny 57 with a high of 79. The floors have been vacuumed already. Next is taking down the Easter decorations then probably outside to peck away at the dirt/fill pile some more. Bench time???

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

Seems everyone's medical problems are finally on the back burner.  I hope Tom sends a photo of the meet-up at the A&S, and best regards to the Judge.  

It's cloudy and cool in SE NH, should be like this all day with winds picking up.  For Scotch Club, it's "bring your own firewood".

No progress to report on the layout, I'm getting some 'analysis paralysis' on scenery and trees.  Mebbe I shoujld find something else to tackle for a while.

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

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick, enjoy your hike today.

Tom, Curt, have fun with the SBG Group.

Mike, enjoy the car and bike show.

Larry, hope you leave yourself some bench time today.

Dave, whenever I get "analysis paralysis"  I just procrastinate to the point where I say "to heck with it, how bad can it be".

Current weather is 16c (61f) with a high predicted of 22c (71c), oh, and the sun is out.    Spent some time at the bench last night where I finished the third building of the build.  I'll post an update later today.  I also spent time painting details.  I'm thinking painting the details is going to be a long process.    I also managed to hang a light over the N scale modules so I have better light when working on the modules. 

Off to visit the wife at the hospital, have a great day everyone.

75^o yesterday. Rain, storm overnight as a cold front enters dropping temps with a threat of frost and hint of "S" tomorrow.

It's really wet. Our county has been added to a big list of Emergency Declarations by Gov Gretch.

Oh, Company just arrived, all I've got for now.

Be well all

Tom sounds like a lot of Bsing is going to be happening today.
When you get a chance say hi to the judge for me.

Curt have a nice day with the gang.

Mike enjoy the car show.

Larry go easy moving that pile of dirt.

Dave don't drink to much today.

Ron glad the wife is doing okay.

Weather in South Jersey is sunny/57.  Later on 59.
Yard work is just about done except getting the plants.  Diane's job.
I did manage to make two doors yesterday.  Two more to make.
So hopefully later I'll get back to the bench for and hour or two.

Everyone have a great day!!

Good Morning All,

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

Slept pretty well last night. Had a great time meeting and talking with Jim and his friends from the villages yesterday. There was plenty of BS'ing to go around!

Yesterday MOH had told me we needed to go to Kohl's today in prep of our May 1st vacation (PA & MD) but this morning she said we didn't need to go! Dodged a bullet! Whew.

Today's plans are to continue working on the fence.

Yesterday Jim gave the group some 3D printed chairs and a rooster weather vane that will be perfect on the barn. Thanks again Jim.

I hope everyone has a good day.

[Rick]

Good morning everyone.

34 in Paragonah, sun and clouds later in the afternoon with a high of 68.

Curt, thanks fr the coffee and breakfast.
Sounds like a great time was had at Tom's and good news on the bullet dodge.

Jerry, more doors done?

Karl, hope you stay high and dry and warm.

Ron, hope your wife is continuing to improve and have fun with the details.

Dave, hope you get past the paralysis.

Larry, hope you were able to peck away at the bench too.

Mike, I saw your pictures on FB and looks like a good turnout of cars.

ACLTom, I hear lots of good BS'ing happened yesterday.
Pictures?

How's everyone else.

Star and I did a very nice 3 mile hike yesterday.
Continued a bit further north afterward.
About 200 miles from SLC.
Should get there by Thursday.
Driving an hour today to get to the trail I'm hiking tomorrow.

Looking back on the Bright Angel Trail at GCNP.



Have a great day everyone.

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

Curt thanks for coffee and breakfast. Have fun at the bench. Nice you dodged that bullet!!

Rick beautiful photos and safe travels.

Tom that's quite the gang! Glad you guys had such a great time. Thanks for the photo; nice to put a face to the name.

What's your plans for the day.

It's a rainy 38 with a high of 46. With all the rain today and tomorrow, maybe some white crap thrown in for good measure, the fill will be like shoveling wet cement. I may have to end up renting a small bobcat to move the fill; although I would prefer NOT to spend the money so we'll see how it goes. No modeling yesterday but that will be remedied today.

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