Good Morning,

Rick enjoy your hike with Star and be safe. Thanks for another beautiful photo.

Jaime congrats on the train score and travel safely.

Curt sounds like you're a busy guy just don't overdue.

Mike naps good....tired bad.

What's your plans.

It's currently a cloudy 76 with a high of 79 and rain likely this afternoon. Had a nice surprise yesterday, my scenery stuff arrived 2 days early. Opened a big package of trees by Woodland Scenics....not too bad but will need a little TLC to make them look more natural; should be fun. Some bench time this am for sure.

Have a great and safe day!! Be well.

Good morning. From Friday 9:00am till noon Saturday I did not check the rain gauge. When I did yesterday it was at 4.25" and I cannot believe it. Unless the rain gauge got caught under a cloud burst. The official reporting stations around us are anywhere from 3/4" to 2.75". But no matter the amount received we needed it.

It's is 68f degrees now heading to 80 but our air quality is getting worst again. Not Canadian or Minnesota Wild fires but from Oregon! The local media is saying heavier around 150 readings tomorrow, the AQI showed 74 a few minutes ago.

So far Terry and I have watched Tom Holland in 3 of his Spider-Man movies. We are going Tuesday to the newest Spider-Man movie so we are seeing what his version of Spider-Man is. Terry hadn't seen any of his so we are watching them on the Disney Channel. STARTED Thursday evening. Decent and occasionally funny but nothing to recommend IMO.

My tree building seems to have paused! I cannot seem to hold concentration for more than 30 minutes at the bench! I made a promise of 10/7 and I will keep it but this pause will just put some pressure on

Enjoy the day
TomO

Good morning everyone,

Rick, enjoy your hike today with Star.  That picture was worth stopping for.

Jaime, glad you were able to save some shelf orphans and have a safe drive back.

Curt, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.  Sounds like you had a very busy day, with another busy day coming up.  Glad the dish issue was something simple.  Any news on Tom, hope he is recovering well.

Mike, hope you make it upstairs today.

Larry, Have fun at the bench.

TomO, maybe you just need a break from the trees for a bit. 

Current weather here is 21c (69f) with a high predicted of 23c (73f) with rain that will be heavy at times.  Looks like a day to stay inside.  I do have a grocery run to do, might do that early to avoid the heavy rain.

Spent time yesterday working on the turntable build and I have made a lot of progress in the last three days.  Will probably take a break from it today but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on this build.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning everyone

Nice picture Rick.
Have a nice hike with Star today.

Jaime glad you could rescue those kits!! 

Curt sounds like an exciting day!!

Mike naps are always a good thing.

Larry now you have a chance to build a forest.

TomO maybe you needed a break form the forest!! 

Ron the turntable is looking fine.

Weather in South Jersey is cloudy/83.
It is not a beach day for all the gang down there.
Another row of shingles done hopefully more today.

Everyone have a great day!!

70 going to 80. A/C is back on. I'm in heavy ls shirt and she's not. Looking forward to a visit from grand daughter. It's been weeks, she had summer school and missed the trip North.

I've a couple Data Only cars on the bench today.

We had all day rain yesterday that amounted to a whopping 3/10". Only need about 2 1/2" more to get "even". No more forecast until late in the week.

The rain slowed down the art/craft show for the daughter yesterday but not a washout. The Doll went there for 2-3 hours after noon. Once Home she told tales of the degradation of how people go out in public. Caring little about themselves and how they look.

We went out for pizza last evening and have enough left for a couple meals. Good cold this morning.

It sounds like everybody is doing well. Enjoy the day all!

This for Karl:  

I've glued the last set of legs on the coal dock base.  The next decision is whether I do the NBW castings this should have, that would be a lot of NBWs...

I posted an update on Tom's health part 2 thread after talking to him today.

[PRR Modeler]

Good Morning All,

Breakfast today is coffee, cereal, bagels, yogurt, pastry, OJ, and soda.

Started out the day with a walk at 77F and moderate humidity. Yesterday I only got about 20 minutes at the workbench. First was the Wally World trip then after lunch Dad had to go mattress shopping. The mattress will be delivered tomorrow.

Today after chores and laundry I hope to get to the workbench. MOH has a sewing class for most of the day. Supper tonight is waffles and sausage.

I hope everyone has a good day.

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. I get tired just reading how busy you are; hope you're able to get some quality bench time in today. Nice to hear we're not the only ones who have breakfast for supper.

What's your plans?

It's a cloudy 72 with a high of 74 with rain. Grocery shopping shortly then have to take Ellie for a routine Doc's appointment. Maybe I can squeeze in some bench time in there somewhere.

Have a great and safe day!! Be well.

[Rick]

Good morning everyone.

Sunny and 70 in Silverton today.

Curt, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.
Have a good time working on the kit and enjoy that dinner.

Larry, hope it's all good news at Ellie's doctors visit.

Dave, I love cold leftover pizza.

Karl, have you done any work on the bridge scene?

Jerry, why wasn't 83 a beach day?

Ron, your turntable is look exquisite.

TomO, I saw the original Spiderman movie a couple weeks ago and wasn't impressed so didn't watch any more.
I did watch the Hail Mary Project and it was worth watching but not great IMHO.

Mike, did someone say nap?

Jamie, congratulations on the new kits.

How's everyone else?

Did a tough hike yesterday on the Ice Lake Basin, but it was one of the most beautiful hikes I've done.
9.7 miles with just under 3,000' of climbing.
Heading to Silverton today and maybe Durango too.

This is a pano I took with the phone yesterday.



Have a great day everyone.

Good morning,

Curt, thanks for opening, coffee, and breakfast. Supper sounds tasty.

Larry, wishing Ellie great results from the appointment. 

Rick, your hike sounds exhausting.  The photo is fantastic.

How are the rest of the crew?

It's a bright morning with rain forecast this evening. The forecast is for a cooler day at 85F.  

I have loads of 1:1 today, but I may try to get upstairs.

Have fun,
mike

Rick have you ever been to Mesa Verde? The tour led by a ranger was fantastic. It's in the Durango area if you haven't.

[TomO/Tloc]

Good morning from Wisconsin! It's 58f degrees now and 82 if the guessers are right. No real chance of rain today but hopeful for Tuesday evening. The local media guy yesterday said there were isolated reports in Verona of 4" plus over the weekend so maybe my 4.25" in the gauge wasn't a cloud burst! Doesn't matter because whatever amount we received was not enough. The grass out beyond the trees in the pastures and padlocks is still crisp!

The grandson is coming over at 10. It's the first Monday of the month and it's pay the loan day. I loaned him the money to buy his mower, extra batteries, blower and trimmer. His mom yesterday said I am to read him the financial riot act as he'll be a touch short! 2 weeks of no cutting plus when we moved he lost a client. This will be fun

Enjoy the day

Rick have you ever been to Mesa Verde? The tour led by a ranger was fantastic. It's in the Durango area if you haven't.

Thanks for the tip.
I'll check it out.

[Jerry]

Morning everyone

Curt thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
There's nothing wrong with Waffles and sausage for dinner.

Larry hope Elle makes out okay at the Doc's.

Rick that is a beautiful picture.

Mike don't overdo the 1:1 stuff.

TomO don't be to hard on the grankson!! 

Weather in South Jersey rain/77.  Later more of the same/84.
Rick the one grandson didn't leave until late to head home.
Today Diane had to go to the bank about doing something with her 401.
Maybe there will be a hour at the bench later on.

Everyone have a wonderful day!!
