Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 5

Good morning, all.  I hope everything, including the driving, turns out well, Dave.  Sunny and headed for the 80s on the NH seacoast.

Curt, I made a layout-edge dam a bit more than 2" wide from thin clear ?styrene? maybe .020 thick. In pictures it looks like it came from plastic packaging.  I glued it to the layout edge with epoxy (so my old posts say:  https://modelersforum.com/index.php?topic=6843.120 ), then peeled it off and sanded both the epoxy and Envirotex to smooth them once the last pour curved.  Then I touched up the black paint on the hardboard fascia.

My track height is about 42 inches, so only the littlest visitors are looking into the edge of the "water".

Clouds and RAIN steadily falling outside the window this morning.  More soaking that is welcome.   

Might get back at the layout a bit more, I did a little bit of work on the trestle yesterday and it photographs 'ok'.  Much more to do, but need to get there before the next trip, yet unplanned, to the North County.

Watched Randolph Scott in CANADIAN PACIFIC on the tube last night.  Formulaic melodrama based around construction of the railroad.  Some quick shorts of steam in the opening moments.  One old beater off and in throughout.

Rain at times is the threat for the next three days.  Storms tomorrow into Thursday.

Karl I must have missed your latest post.

Weather in South Jersey is sunny/68.  Later on 78.
A beautiful day.

James thank you for info. That looks like what I'll do.

Rick it's the SW Shipyard at Foss Landing.

Good Morning,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Don't overdue on the floors and I'm sure you'll figure out the resin situation.

Dave best of luck on eye #2. Maybe close your eyes while the wife drives.

Tom have fun at practice. Bowling should be winding down soon?

Rick hope the closing goes smoothly.

James good morning.

Karl have fun at the bench.

Jerry bank trips are always interesting.

What's on your agenda?

It's a sunny 76 with a high of 88. Woke up to a big mess outside; the septic tank inlet was plugged so everything from last night went up the vent tube and onto the ground. Cleaned everything up and used a plunger and hose to get rid of the blockage. Will be watching that close for a few days. The Buick is all fixed and has to clear 1 more, of 2 tests, to pass inspection. Going to settle up with the garage, drop off the Escape for inspection then drive the Buick the next 3 days and see if that trips one of the tests since they're very busy right now. No bench time yesterday and probably none today either. Spent 5 hours staining the front porch yesterday.

Have a great and safe day!! Be well.

Larry, sorry to hear about your crappy situation. Sorry, I'll go stand in the corner in time out.

Morning all,
Good luck Dave!

Busy in this joint today.

Are you going to sell the Mercedes Rick? You can buy lots of kits with the money!

Larry.  Overflow on aisle 1 .....OMG just terrible.
I hate to patch every barrel. What is weird was the first several batches I printed were perfect. Haunted software or a corrupted file. Yet another try today!

A much needed rainy day is here!

Have a good en!
