Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Larry.

Rick, I'll watch the video this evening.

Going to keep this short as I have a busy day today.  Current temperature is 14c (57f) and sunny.  I ended up taking a nap yesterday afternoon but did manage some bench time last night while watching the hockey game.  I worked on one of the industrial buildings for the N scale modules.  I have a feeling tonight will be back to painting details.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

Breakfast this morning is Country Fried Steak and Home Fries, Biscuit and gravy is you aren't that hungry. Fruit bowl for those cutting back or want something light.

I'm up early watering in the sod. It was 55% chance of rain yesterday but it really means 45% chance I won't get it. And, I didn't.

We have bowling pay out today. I'm not bowling today but will watch. I'll take a break and go back in June.

Have a safe and happy day everyone.

Good Morning All,

Tom thanks for opening and breakfast. Good luck with the prize today.

It's either in the high 60's  or in the 70's already heading to 90F I believe. If you're out in the afternoon it's definitely starting to feel summer like, but the humidity isn't slapping you in the face yet.

Yesterday I really finished up the tank project. Along with the vent there are 2 pallets under tarps for the pump and the transfer hose to fill the tank. I also made a thin concrete pad for both and test fit on the diorama.

Today I'll start preparing 55 gallon drums for painting and I have a couple of errands to run.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning everyone.

41 currently in SLC, plenty of sun and a high of 55 later.

ACLTom, thanks for the coffee and breakfast and congratulations on finishing the sod.
Any modeling purchases planned with the prize money?

Curt, sounds like good solutions for the pump and hose.
Thanks as well for liking and commenting on my video.

Ron, hope today is less busy and more bench time instead.

Jerry, is the wall back together?

Karl, very glad The Doll is happy with her new vision and hope round 2 is equally successful.

Mike, how'd the doctor visits go?

James, how's the track work going?

Larry, still plugging away with the dirt pile.

Philip, I see you around but you're very quiet.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

I'm good for another 20,000 miles with the van but my wallet feels significantly lighter.
Spending money won't stop just yet however.
It was determined my battery is nearing its end.
MB quoted me a price but I think I can do better at Costco and I'll go there this morning.
Nothing else planned for today.

One more shot from my hike at Adam's Canyon.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning,

Tom thanks for the coffee and breakfast; biscuits & gravy always hits the spot. Nice to hear the sod's finished.

Curt enjoy your time at the bench.

Rick vehicles have a way of thinning out the wallet real fast. Yup, still plugging away at the dirt pile probably for a few more weeks,

What's your plans today?

It's a sunny 59 with a high of 64 and rain later today. A couple of errands to run then maybe some bench time this am. Probably will peck away at the dirt file until it rains.

Have a great and safe day!! Be well.

Good morning folks,

Tom, thanks for the fantastic breakfast, coffee, and opening.  Good luck with the sod.

Curt, congrats on the tank project completion.

Rick, good luck with the battery quest.  I bet it's expensive for your RV.

Larry, the dirt pile sounds like real work.  Good luck.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's an overcast morning headed to 73°F.  Hopefully it will rain later.  Yesterday's eye appointment went well.  The dentist did not.  I was afraid it would happen, and it did.  Old fillings and crowns deteriorate and have to be replaced.  I'm sure I could buy a few brass engines for the coming bills. I'll be busy working on lodge stuff most of the day, then meeting tonight.

Have fun,
mike

Cold and Greyin Michigan this morning after overnight storms.  Mostly indoor plans. No idea what, yet.

Morning everyone

Tom thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Good job on the sod.

Curt good luck painting details.

Rick another perfect picture to start the day.

Larry the rain isn't going to help you much moving the dirt pole.

Mike sorry to hear that the money for the brass engine is going into your mouth.  :'(

Morning Karl have a nice day.

Weather in South Jersey is sunny/57.  Later on 64.
A nice Spring day.
Will try to fix that wall today!!

Everyone have a wonderful day!!  :)

Mike believe me I feel your pain A couple of years ago I sunk $1500+ into my mouth over 6 appointments.

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Tom, don't spend all the prize money in one place.

Curt, have fun painting the barrels.

Rick, I bet all the vehicle costs are still cheaper than rent or owning a home.

Larry, that dirt pile sounds like it's going to be a summer project.

Mike, hopefully the dental bills won't be too painful.

Karl, have a great day.

Jerry, hope you get the wall fixed today.

Current temperature is 18c (65f) and sunny.  Been working at home today as we need to take Gracie to the vet as she has developed a big limp this weekend.  No modeling last night as I spent time doing other stuff but should be back at the bench tonight.

Have a great day everyone.
