Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 5

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

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick, nice picture of the Japanese garden.

Philip, have fun with the yard work.

Curt, Maybe there is an auto glass place where you are that can replace the windshield.     Hope you find a solution to the glass issue.

Current weather here is 18c (64f) and another day of sunshine.  No modeling last night, but I did spend time in the layout room trying to figure out how I'm going to clean it up.  I did find some things that I thought I lost forever.  The cleaning up is the easy part, finding permanent homes for the stuff is the hard part.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning,

Rick thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Beautiful photo of the garden but I expected to see some Bonsai trees in containers. My Daughter bought a 2023 Hyundai Kona; a mid sized SUV with 29,000 miles, all wheel drive. It came with 4 new tires, all new brakes, and O-L-F. She bought it for a good price and it rides and handles very nicely.

Philip cats do have a way of leaving their mark. Careful with the lower back moving topsoil around.

Curt sorry to hear about the rain but at least you got to catch a few more zzzz's. Have fun at the bench and easy on the floors.

Ron good luck getting things squared away in the train room.

What's your plans.

It's another sunny beautiful day @ 60 with a high of 80. Received a call from my Mechanic late yesterday informing me the "check engine" light came on as he was driving into the garage for inspection. By NYS inspection laws any vehicle with that light on has to be resolved, all codes cleared then driven until it passes said codes. More $$$$ and a few more days at the Shop. Maybe some bench time this am then have a couple of 1:1's to take care of this afternoon.

Have an enjoyable and safe day!!! Be well.

Good morning folks,

Rick, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast.  Thanks for the garden photo.

Philip, sounds like your wife has a good day laborer...  

Curt, good luck with the vehicle.

Ron, that's the same problem I have.  Where to store things permanently.

Larry, they ought to ban those check engine lights.  Congrats to your daughter on her car purchase.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's a bright morning with no rain in the forecast.  Yesterday was another 1:1 day.  I cleaned the garage and reorganized the cabinets, tools, etc. Now I can park both cars in the garage and have a place for a new tool. I gave all my wood shop tools away when we moved here and found I needed a table saw for future projects.  I bought a cheap one on Amazon, and it arrives tomorrow.  My SIL brought over the planer I gave him, so I am set.  Phase II in the planning stage for Buffalo Canyon Mining Company.

I didn't get back to the tank car, but I will today.  The bands still need to be glued in place.

Have fun,
mike

Good morning Crew from another nice but dry day in Wisconsin

Rick, The Tuner was good. A piano tuner with a hearing disorder and very unrealistically naive becomes a safe cracker. Entertaining and worth the $6.00 Tuesday ticket, free popcorn and the last soda I buy at the theater. I was thirsty and a small cost $7.53, the large was $12.50:+ tax. I recommend the movie but this one you could wait for it on streaming if you stream!

Terry said yesterday she is making homemade crab cakes and lobster cakes for tonight. That means her friends are coming for dinner. I will be having a shrimp roll instead though I enjoy the lobster cakes. I will be having mine for my lunch today. The fish monger delivered yesterday afternoon 12# each of the lobster and crab. Just 5# of the shrimp. When I asked last night who was coming she said Pat (her life time friend) , Pharma (her good friend and my Endocrinologist) the daughter, at least one of her friends and the granddaughter. Then they will watch the Knicks and Spurs NBA game on my big screen. The girls love basketball and while Terry is not a wino the rest are! Pat and Pharma are staying over, the son in law will pick up the rest! Yep, lots of train room or deck time tonight for me!

Terry did mention to me yesterday that she is starting to agree with me that maybe we should truly downsize. She said she is fine if we move out of our little city and back to the property we have about 4 miles away. I will not be drawing up any plans until "starting to agree" becomes let's move! They could be tomorrow or 5 years from now.

Enjoy your day
TomO
