Morning all,

Eight degrees this morning, we will almost get to the freezing mark later today. 

I got the kit sides assembled, we'll see what happens next. 

This modeler must have gotten tired of people asking how he did the water on his layout, so he had a step by step guide.

Morning Jeff and all that follow.

Nice picture got to love the directions.

Weather in South Jersey cloudy/29.  Later on 31.
Izzy to the groomer this am.
Then some bench time later.

Everyone have a great day!!

The are single digits on the watch for temps, still chilly for sure.  Grey and light flurry or two in the air.

Time spent on the layout was fruitful.  Soo much more to do. 

Late start this morning, looking for an easy breakfast.

Good morning, Jeff, Jerry, Karl and later arrivals.  Bright sun has brought the lower Merrimack Valley almost up to freezing and my driveway is slowly self-clearing.  I made a little progress on my Rt. 1 Overpass yesterday. Also I found more info to support my wife's house building project, but still lack views of the chimneys.  I discovered Newburyport has both Sanborn maps and a 1924 assessor's map online.  Which gave me an un-dimensioned ground plan for the freight station, but I'd like to have that ICC Valuation Section before starting construction.

We'll see what I actually get done today.  Pictures of her house will get posted, maybe I'll start a Challenge thread on my bridge.

It's practically a heat wave, although not predicted to get above freezing.  Still it was much warmer this morning when I took the dogs out.  I'm still stiff & sore today from PT yesterday, but it's helping work out the chronic spots (maybe by just giving me different places that hurt  )

Brian Bollinger is sending me replacement castings for the set I messed up.  I can make progress on the wood part of the kit (eave trim, etc) while waiting for the replacements.
